Decent enough.

But how would Luke end up in the possession of a different Wampa?

 It could have been a mating pair and the mate that caught Luke was still out hunting when he came to. The Wampa has always been problematic in that none of its different iterations were identical:

And aren't the differences a result of one being from the OOT and other being added in 97?

No, there was always a quick shot of the Wampa rushing at Luke. The SE just expanded the scene with more shots. Here's the SE Wampa:

Apparently that's an incorrect link or the video is still private. It gives a 403 error when clicked.

You could tell it was fake just by zooming in on that gif. The quality of that CG model was...not optimal. It looked like something out of a 90s FMV game.

Or you could haul your PS3 to your cousin's place.

Welp, didn't see that one coming:

90 SECOND STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS’ TEASER TO SHOW IN FRONT OF EVERY FILM AT 100 THEATERS NEXT WEEKEND?

If they had zero faith in it they wouldn't have given it a theatrical release. It would either have been buried or gone straight to video. As it stands, it doesn't look like it will do much business. The best way for them guarantee some profit would be to give it the TFA teaser as an exclusive.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason it was announced and released so suddenly was that they realized they had this sitting there from before the sale and decided to cash in on it with the teaser instead of giving business to The Hobbit.

As I said in that other thread, I think they're gonna hold onto the teaser and save it for Strange Magic in January.

After seeing the Jar Jar levels of uncomfortableness in the Strange Magic trailer, attaching the Ep 7 trailer to this movie would be epically misguided.

 What's misguided about it. If that's the only way to see the teaser, that's guaranteed ticket sales. Compared to increased sales for a competitor.

Would've been masterful had they painted the seat brown or green.

Speaking of EMPIRE DAY...

It looks glorious...

Is this the first time it's been acknowledged like this?

 What that it exists? Nah, they've owned up to it for years. At one of the Celebrations they used publicity stills from it on free luggage tags they were giving away.

As for a blu-ray release. That will never happen. It was shot on tape, not film. So there's no version of it that would exceed 480p.

A DVD release however...

Well they could play it before the film and then again after the credits like they did during Meet Joe Black for TPM.

Okay....well looks like they didn't get the price they were hoping for. As it's now been relisted with a BUY IT NOW price of $5000! Sheesh.

Ziro sure liked them Pa'lowicks.

Preview for Marvel's new Darth Vader comic.

Apparently Fett lives at Jabba's. I miss Dark Horse already. =(

Glen A. Larson has passed away at 77

He was responsible for so many of my favorite shows. I wish I had gotten a chance to thank him. =(

There's no way to market yet another version of the SE (without the OOT) that will get people to flock to the stores.

I think people on OT.com hugely misjudge the OOT's relevance to an average fan. There has been a very few of us who refused to buy Blu-Ray on the principle of having unwanted changes.

If they release another set with something "extra", I think fans will buy it just as they did 2004 and 2011 release.

I actually disagree with that. A lot of people (whether they care or not) are well aware of the Han Shot First thing; the SE is easily the most controversial alternate version of a film, except for maybe the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life. The biggest complaint about the blu rays was the fact that it did not include the original versions, and that was mentioned in articles from a lot of news sources in their articles discussing the blu rays. Look at how much hype these rumors got over the summer about the OUT too. 

 To add to this. I've been told directly and have overheard others say that they either horde their VHS copies, are trying to find VHS copies or are trying to transfer their VHS copies to DVD. None of these people were big fans like us either.

The Expanded Universe: The Trailer

I'd never really heard much about him before but man! He was incredibly integral for inspiring the classic ship designs we all know and love. Definitely deserves more recognition for his work!

Here's the interview.

You know, if the teaser for TFA isn't in front of The Hobbit next month...

I could see them putting it in front of this film to boost ticket sales.

Rewatching it again, it seemed like if there was a delay between them it was about a second. He generally responded and reacted about a second after she'd say something.

While when asked about about re-releasing Star Wars he paused for almost three seconds before answering.

If they're going to release it on Blu-Ray again, they need to do more than just repackage it.

 They also need to patent it and slap it on a lunchbox.
