Making of Return of the Jedi (the book) Thread

Problem is, we've been teased with the possibility of seeing this footage since the days of Laserdisc. (Definitive Collection, not!) And when we finally got to see some on DVD, then find out there's more, one gets the sense they're holding back, and trickling this stuff out ever since. I don't know of any other franchise that keeps dangling that tasty carrot in front of fans, then yanks it back once we get a bite.

This stuff should have been on the Blu Ray set. Nobody would have minded if it mandated an extra disc to hold it all. Not everybody owns a Apple device, believe it or not.

Seems to work. Not familiar with the song you've used.

Had a random musical thought for Order 66. ;)

Also, I don't know what deadmeat youngling #1 could say to Anakin before the lightsaber ignites, but I thought the voice of another Futurama robot might work for the unfortunate tyke.

[fill in the blank] Just Died!

Mystery Science Theater 3000 took the name for the Satellite of Love from a Lou Reed song. The cast even sang it once in the early days.

Lou sang possibly the best song on the entire Rock and Rule soundtrack.

He also made one of the most disturbing music videos of the 80's for No Money Down, but I can't find it on youtube.

People have a right to be pissed about the way this material is being presented. This all certainly could have been on the Blu Ray, instead of parodies already released elsewhere. But, the "own the source material" ought to apply to E books as much any any DVD or Blu Ray. No exceptions.

Whether this thread gets locked down or not depends on all of you.

So the digital version of these books has only been out for a few days, and already certain people are ripping it and sending copies of it to each other?! Way to go!

Did it not occur to anyone here that the author might VERY well hang out here sometimes.......? Instead of copying it why not support his work by PAYING for a copy? There's a ton of hard work that has gone into these books, the least we can do here is to support work like this - as we support certain projects here - not copy it as if we were entitled to it. Not like this is a preservation project or something...!

Not cool...

 


I purchased all 3 in hardcover AND I purchased all 3 on Kindle (because I have a kindle). As I don't have an iPhone or an iPad, I'm not purchasing it a 3rd time to get HD files. So get on your high horse somewhere else...

 

Fuck off.

Is it that time again?

Info: Something that might interest folks here..."ROTJ" Editdroid Laserdisc Footage
Time

Exactly, it's a demo disc for the trade shows where Editdroid was shown off. The youtube video I linked to earlier in the thread was from 1984. The plot cat was well out of the bag by then.

Note the date on the disc label, 1983.

Even if they were rough cutting the film at Elstree, you have to take into account incompatible video systems, PAL vs. NTSC. Even if they brought a bunch of NTSC gear over there, would it work properly even with current converters of the day? I couldn't even get a hair dryer to work outside the U.S. once. ;)

Actually, as far as I can make out Disney were really chill about that film "Escape from Tomorrow". Maybe they will ignore Star Wars fan stuff as long as it doesn't step on anything they are doing.

In the case of that particular movie, they may simply not want to draw any attention to it, and give it free publicity by making a lot of legal noise.

We really don't know what Disney might do to our little band of rebels yet.
