I doubt this will be the case given the poor offering on the Force Awakens Blu-Ray. I did not bother to buy it I contemplated getting the later repackaged version with the supposed Chewie ripping off the arms if Unkar Plutt or whatever his name is but it was cut short just like they did for escaping Maz Katana’s castle.

The full scene is on the blu-ray. It was the promo material, prior to the 3d blu-ray’s release that had the scene cut before chewie rips his arm off.

What Makes A &quot;Real&quot; Star Wars Fan?
Time

There is no “true” or “real” fan. That’s just something that was started by the prequel/ Special Edition fans to attack those that don’t like and are vocal about those films. You are either a fan or you aren’t. It’s a simple as that. It doesn’t matter how much or how little of the saga (and all it’s offshoots) you love. Putting labels like that onto people is nothing more than elitist bulls**t. Don’t worry about it. Just enjoy what you want.

Hi.

i noticed something.
And i have a bad feeling about this.

In the “Rogue One - Death Star Trailer” you can see two laserbeams of the death star.

Thats a fan made trailer. The footage of it firing is actually from The Force Awakens, just flipped, cropped & recoloured.

In answer to the topic, this is mostly my purist side talking but older Anakin plus it looks less awkward when put next to the ghosts of Yoda and Obi-Wan.

I watched the prequels first, so I would think there was some random guy as a ghost. See my point? P.S, victory celebration is so much better than yup nub. (Stupid spelling corrections!)

Even when you see the guy unmasked moments before you would think he was some random guy? No one had any problems knowing who he was for 21 years before lucas decided to screw with things. Has the human race become so dumb that they couldn’t still figure that one out?

Ahem. It’s My opinion, not yours. And I know he was burned in 3 so I know its anakin when he was unmasked.

So then you wouldn’t have had any problems knowing who it was when he appeared as that same older person a few minutes later at the end then

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>

The Wampa is progressing nicely.

The mouth has now been sculpted and is fresh out of the molds. The teeth were sculpted separately and cast in resin, while the gum and inner mouth was cast in silicone and the teeth just slot right into the gums & then glued in place.

Now onto the painting stage before fixing the inner mouth to the Wampa.

Leia was raised as royalty, so of course she knows how to sound “proper”, but she’s not just some posh princess, so she also knows how to drop that act and be a normal person.

What about when she talks to han about the money near the end of the movie? Was that so she could come off as kinda snobbish or something

Yep. Notice it’s her line “If money is all that you love, then that’s what you’ll receive!” that gets the posh tone, but just before that, her line “It’s not over yet…” is very casual. It fits her character.

i knew their was more to you than money that’s what i meant that line

That line isn’t spoken in even a remotely “posh british” or even “posh american” accent

At the risk of delaying the project, a possible solution to the Emperor’s “Luke Skywalker” line may have surfaced.

Well i’m not too bothered about the Emperor calling him Young Skywalker in ESB:R, because this is the way he addresses him in ROTJ, so it fits in with the character. But, if this software ends up working the way they say it will, this could be a godsend for the prequel edits.

The Force Awakens: Official Review Thread - ** SPOILERS **
Time

Sat down and watched the 3D blu-ray of TFA again tonight and then again with the 2d version with JJ’s commentary. It’s been a year almost since the film came out and i still think it’s as good as ever. It has its flaws , yeh, but so do all the original 3, and we still love them. But this IS Star Wars, unlike those terrible prequels.

It’s amazing just how good the 3d looks on the blu-ray. At the cinema , the few times i saw it in 3d, the picture was a little blurry and lots of crosstalk. But i noticed that the projector booth glass was smudged to hell in all the cinemas i saw the 3d version. Gone are the days cinemas cared about giving you best possible viewing. no crosstalk and the picture is nice and clear. Colours are great.

The commentary is pretty good. It’s nice to hear JJ confirm all the things i said about rey and her abilities ( which are actually explained in the movie so it is hard for me to understand why so many seem to be confused and complaining about this). I won’t go into details about the commentary so people can hear it all fresh fro themselves.

The new extras on the disc are a bit too short, which is a complaint i had about the original release. I think it would have been better if these behind the scenes concentrated more on how they did things than so many talking heads. It was nice that the foley artists finally got some recognition as they are an integral part of a films production, yet they usually seem to get overlooked.

Only 2 new deleted scenes ( 3 f you count the one that was with the target release). Its a shame they included a version of the unkar plutt scene with the temp cg effects on the face. It would have been nice to see it with the original mask, no matter how rough that looked. Its probably a more violent scene than any other ever seen in a star wars film. But you can see why most of these scenes were cut. But the “Leia and the Resistance scene” is such a shame it was so short ( only about 17 seconds) and that it was cut from the film. This scene is classic Leia. Carrie was perfect. Slightly comedic and classic Leia attitude. Its also gives the destruction scene more emotion when the camera zooms in on the woman as we know she was sent there by Leia. ( in fact Leia is sends 2 people to their deaths in TFA if you include this scene. Maybe she is snoke after all 😉 ).

Al in all i am still loving every minute of this film. It’s still #3 for me, just below anh & ESB. It does make me laugh when i see people defending the prequels for being so original and saying that ANH is just a rip off of ANH. Yet AOTC has far more plot points ripped from ESB than TFA has from ANH. And TPM is basically just ANH & ROTJ. But i guess when George does it, it “rhymes” and when someone else borrows plot points it’s a “rehash”. ROTJ isn’t exactly original either. But TFA has some of the best acting in the whole saga. It did what the prequels failed miserably at - giving us characters we could actually care about and giving us actors that actually has chemistry together. I couldn’t have given a damn about any of the characters in the prequels. Including the ones from the OT. they were terrible. Even though Ewan was the best out of the lot, they portrayed Obi-Wan as a dick. Same goes for the Jedi. TFA also went back to the more old school way of telling the story, by not thinking they have to explain every single little bit of whats happening. another thing wrong with the prequels. Let’s have that air of mystery. Let’s figure things out for ourselves and have our own theories, no matter how right or wrong they turn out to be.

It was also a fun ride. Knowing that this is the first trilogy that the story has actually been planned out between the writers and directors, it’s nice to know that things were deliberately left unanswered . They didn’t need to be …yet. That will come.

So, for me, there are more good Star Wars films than there are bad. 3 great (ANH, ESB & TFA),one good (ROTJ) and three bad, one being very bad.

Ratings after a year (For Star Wars films NOT all time films)?

ESB - 10
ANH - 9.5
TFA - 9
ROTJ - 7
AOTC -3
TPM & ROTS - 1

I eagerly await Rogue One know to see if Lucasfilm without George can make it 2 for 2 with giving us great films.
