It’s a very complicated situation. The frustration that I feel the most towards it is Disney/Lucasfilm not fully addressing the issue at all. Not a ‘it’s being looked into’, ‘no there are no plans’, nothing. At least when George was in charge he was upfront about it, one of the few things I can given credit for in this situation.

As far as the minority/majority argument goes well I look at like this. Let’s say 85% of Star Wars fans have the BD versions. Let’s look at that remaining 15%. Who are these people? We’ll say 80% of that 15% will only bite if the OUT is included while the rest maybe don’t have BD players and can’t own them or simply don’t want to i.e. they’re happy with the DVD versions or whatever version they have.

Now that original 85%. They have the BDs. We’ll say maybe 80% of that percentage are the casual fans or diehards who will buy anything and either don’t know about the changes, don’t care, or simply prefer the SEs. Then the other 20%. These are people who would like the OUT but realize they don’t have a choice.

Now let’s say 15% of that 80% I mentioned are willing to perhaps upgrade their sets if the OUT is released. Keep in mind people change their minds a lot and not to mention it’s easy for a lot of them to say ‘no I’m sticking with the set I have’, ‘I don’t care’, etc. when the chances of the OUT being released is pretty slim. Take the 15% and combine it with that 20% I mentioned as well as the 80% of the 15% who don’t own the current sets you’re still looking at a fairly decent number of people.

Nobody is disputing that 04 onwards is worse than the 97

Pretty sure anyone who thinks that the 97 is somehow totally different from the later SEs and has more in common with the originals is just as blinded by nostalgia for those editions as they claim we are for the OUT.

I think part of it is because of all the SEs it has the fewest changes and the coloring is somewhat closer to the original.

The chain will keep us together. 😉

I’m 100% certain we are overthinking the Fox-Disney thing. It’s not novel for a movie to be owned by one studio and distributed by another.

Right. Look at the Halloween franchise for example. Tons of studios came together to put out a complete series box set.

Exactly. You can also get all the Chucky movies in one set despite one film being owned by another company.

But everyone’s gonna go their own way!

The thread title clearly says ‘Celebration 2017 SPECULATION’. You’re asking people about a breakoff point to something they are actually speculating in regards to the event. How is that going off topic???

There is no break off point. GET OVER IT!

So next week, you are still going to be speculating whether or not there will be an OOT announcement at Celebration 2017? Interesting.

Read my revised post.

What time does the OOT nonsense speculation finally end? Is there a cut-off?

Okay, you say the speculation of an OOT announcement is “nonsense”, then ask if it will stop. What am I supposed to take out of this other than you being tired and irritated with the speculation of a release announcement in an event’s speculation thread?

I clarified in the subsequent post in case it wasn’t clear. Is there a make or break moment during this carnival that everyone who is anticipating the OOT is waiting for? At what point during the celebration do people stop and think, damnit, they aren’t releasing the OOT?

But to answer to your question when at the event is the breakoff point of the OOT speculation. Simple. Either the moment the topic is possibly addressed at the event or the second the event ends and people realize that not once was the topic addressed. As far as speculation on this site. That ain’t gonna end whether you you like it or not!

If you hate speculation over an OOT release then please leave this thread

Seconded

I have felt it.

Alderaan said:

The moment you finally realize you have no power at all to get people to stop speculating about it. None.

the people who wanted full screen had to deal with widescreen.

They deserve it. People who want full screen should be locked up.

Pfft send a guard then. I admit widescreens better but the last few days Ive been binge watching my '92 VHS set I got saved to DVDs soooo…sue me.

I’m guessing the announcement of the Han Solo movie title and a Last Jedi teaser. Maybe Lucas will make a surprise appearance- in that case no OOT announcement.

Given the slightly scorched earth between Disney and George lately, a Dave Prowse appearance is more likely. 😉

Didn’t Prowse announce a year or two ago on his Facebook he was retiring from public appearances??

Not to mention the Rebel base temple in Rogue 1 is based off the SE temple not the original.

Aside from the initial view of the hangar entrance, did they really change the temple in the SE? I thought what we saw in R1 were areas of the base that were “off camera” in the original film.

I was referring to the exterior.

Not to mention the Rebel base temple in Rogue 1 is based off the SE temple not the original.

I have a slightly updated version of my TRILOGY DVD sleeve. The posters collage is somewhat better, less fuzzy than the one I used. PM me if interested in a copy.

But does anyone actually believe there won’t be anything new at all in regards to the OT on home media?

Other than Alderaan??

Yeah, no reason to target 35+, as I am only 18, and I love this site.

Having an official facebook page would be really really nice, someone should definitely do that.

I’ll be 24 in three weeks. 35+ my ass.

I’m aware of the PT changes, thanks. All the worst changes aren’t PT related stuff though.

Take the first 3 or 4 from my list, add Jedi Rocks and CGI Jabba, and you have the list of the worst changes.

You forgot Greedo shooting first

So, one quick shot throughout three movies? That barely registers even if you count it.

Hey you’d be amazed.
