Very impressive, Harmy!

Thanks for your dedication and hard work on these films.

So what's stopping Fox from just releasing their own restoration of Star Wars and then leaving Empire and Jedi up to Disney post 2020?

I always assumed Fox never messed around with Star Wars out of courtesy to George, but he's out of the equation now.

Sure, it's not going to be the streamlined box set that most would like, but it is better than nothing and may be better than waiting on them to come to some deal.

Am I missing something?

The only thing mandalorian about Fett was the armour. It's been that way since before the prequels.

Just read the bio on the back of Hasbro's Power of the Force Fett figure or the Visual Dictionary. They both clearly state that he wears mandalorian armour but nothing about Fett himself being mandalorian. In fact, the bio from Hasbro even stated that the mandalorians were destroyed during the clone wars.

I agree with TheBoost.

Yoda: A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.

The only thing it really conflicts with is the EU.

George made the retcon in an attempt to appease EU fans and stupid people asking, "Where do baby Jedi come from if they never fuck?".

The thing that surprised me was how intertwined the Jedi and Republic were in the prequels. I always expected the Jedi to be a separate organization that was called upon whenever there was trouble, sort of like the Justice League.

Furthermore, the movies barely did anything to define the relationship between the Jedi and the Republic. Why, for instance, did the chancellor have to send the jedi to the Naboo blockade in secrecy. Would the senate have normally had vote on sending the Jedi?

Rinzler's Making of Empire says it was Prowse.

Vader needed Luke to feel their pain.

Palpatine's question in that scene does not make sense. How would the Jedi know anything about Plagueis? It's the same problem with Yoda knowing about the rule two.

I was thinking about a situation similar to this the other day, but regarding the PT specifically.

Supposedly, the first couple edits of Star Wars were train wrecks until competent editors got their hands on it.

Makes me wonder if all the stuff that was shot for the PT would have similar potential with a good editor.

Well, Harmy just posted the changes he's making so I guess he "ruined it" for everyone else too.

Look, I will go edit the post since Harmy's request has apparently been interpreted by everyone as "NO QUESTIONS ALLOWED", which I don't think he meant.

As mentioned before, keep any technical faults you find confined to pm's to Harmy. You're ruining it for other people.

He said that because 2.0 was supposed to be finalized. He's now working on  2.1 so that changes things, don't you think?

Just wanted to say thanks to Harmy and everyone that contributed to this incredible project!

Like Buddy x said, it was mainly the result of the location and not done on purpose for Star Wars. Making of TESB claims it was Kershner who decided to continue to use it as a trope.

Apologies if this has been covered.

It's recently been noted that the exterior shots of the Falcon cockpit have been cropped in Empire. Unless I'm mistaken, there has been some mystery as to why this was done.

Well, the answer seems to lie in The Making of the Empire Strikes Back. See, when George had the cockpit set designed for Star Wars he wanted it be a cramped set in order to reflect real world cockpits.

When it came time to rebuild the set for Empire, Kurtz requested that it be built a bit more spaciously. Why? Apparently, the actors had complained to him that the cramped quarters of the original set were hindering their performance. Lucas didn't know about the change and was not pleased once he found out, but by then the set had been completed and he could not afford the time or money to have it rebuilt.

So, over twenty years later he has the cockpit frames zoomed in and cropped to give the appearance of a more compact space. Why he simply didn't have Kershner film it that way in the first place remains a mystery.

I certainly always saw the Storm Troopers as basically inept.

The Empire had the tech and manpower while the Rebellion had the brains.

Can I get a pm of the wp,please.
