Finally got a chance to watch.

Wonderful, wonderful!

I watched it with a friend who couldn’t stand the theatrical version of TFA. It took some convincing to get him to watch but I told him this was an edit so he gave it a chance. He loved it and so did I! I didn’t tell him what changes were made and when it was over he said he couldn’t tell what had been changed, just that it was definitely better. Me personally, I’ll never be going back to the theatrical release. Fantastic work everyone, thank you for this!

Just one minor note, I watched the 720p version and I noticed a lot of aliasing throughout. It happened a lot in effects shots and especially in any close-ups of Kylo’s helmet.

No, I’d recommend they go see Wonder Woman.

Can you believe it’s been over two years since season 1?

Mark Hamill wishes Disney had listened to George Lucas’s guidance and advice

Mark Hamill said:

What I wish is that they had been more accepting of his guidance and advice. Because he had an outline for ‘7,’ ‘8,’ and ‘9’. And it is vastly different to what they have done. But then again, I don’t want to be an old stick in the mud. There were the originals. There’s the prequels. But that’s all George. And now we have the next generation. And as far as I can see they are more popular than ever.

WHY AM I STILL HERE?!?!

I’d recommend finding a voice over artist on Fiverr.

Not sure the world is ready for full frontal Klingon nudity though. 😉

Obviously you haven’t kept up with Discovery. 😐

So, I know it’s too late for V2. But I think I’ve solved the Chewie problem for V3, check it out! 😉

So wait, we still see Chewie slowly lumbering away next to Leia in that last shot?

While it’s by no means a deal breaker. The decision to not address the main theme is disappointing. I think it’s fair to say it was the one thing about the film that was universally criticized.

Yes please! I’ve been wondering about that as well.

I am, first-and-foremost, a Nancy fan, not a Freddy fan. When she died in Dream Warriors, she died to save those kids. When Freddy returned and killed all those kids in Dream Master, it rendered her sacrifice meaningless. So I utterly detest the later sequels, regardless of whatever merits they may have as films.

I just went through the Jason films for the first time recently. I hold similar sentiments in regards to Tommy Jarvis and Jason Lives. The films after that just feel pointless.

Last Jedi Director Rian Johnson on His New Trilogy and the Fundamental Power of Star Wars

Really fascinating bit in there about how TLJ is a personal story and I love that he acknowledges Rebels. Seems like that was actually an influence for him.

Dave is working on something else, which is why he’s not directly overseeing this last season. Whether it’s a new series or (what I’m hoping for) a feature film, remains to be seen.

What’s wrong with the official release of ALIEN?

…

I really need to look into Dan Aykroyd’s greater filmography…

The prequels will also be erased from the saga now that i am no longer doing them. I just can’t bring myself to ever watch them again…for me, I’d like to start my viewing with Rogue One, followed by the OT, then the ST , as those films are far superior to the PT.

That’s how I feel about them as well. If the Han Solo standalone turns out alright and if they ever do that Kenobi film, they plus RO would be my PT.
