In answer to the threads title, I’d say you’re a smartass which can be taken either way. For you, I’d say it’s in between although you are incisive when you wanna be.
I JUST PRETEND TO BE HUMAN
THAT USUALLY ENDS IT
I can barely be human enough to pretend to be human
Ain’t it the truth.
I was going back and forth on YouTube
Can’t win there.
Never. That’s why I try to avoid commenting on SW videos as much as possible. I failed this time though granted this was something I commented on like a month ago and only in the last few days has it been going again.
Well it is pointless to make any such arguments in the first place. This may sound condescending but someone who merely likes the Hayden change (let alone tries to justify it) is not worth my time.
QFT
I was going back and forth on YouTube today with someone about the Hayden change. He says its logical because Anakin didnt know what he looked like when he died because he was scarred and hence his appearing younger made sense. I told him it doesn’t make sense since in most cases ghosts can take whatever form they want but I think in Anakin’s cases he would still project himself as an old man since that’ll likely be more familiar to Luke. He wrote back again that Anakin didnt know what he looked like old and neither did Luke cause Anakin’s scarred. My last post to him was we will agree to disagree. I give myself credit. I was going back and forth with him for a bit and not once did I bring up the nostalgia/OUT vs SE factor into it. Hopefully that conversations done but considering my luck these days probably not.
I always assumed that the suit and Slave 1 were inherited by Boba, but Lucas got the colors wrong because he forgot to watch the original trilogy before filming the prequels.
I used to think perhaps it was Jango’s suit but the colors were starting to fade or something
Granted I don’t particularly agree with any of the changes. I get George’s logic behind changing Boba’s voice in Empire but really is it necessary?? Plus the delivery in my opinion is really bad and not convincing. He speaks too fast and it just sounds off. As far as the 97 SE’s go well if I had to choose any versions of the SE’s I probably would pick those. At least some of the changes added from '04 onward are not there. We still get the original Emperor, Ghost Sebastian, no ‘Weesa Free’, and yes the coloring is somewhat closer to the originals. The fact is EVERY version of the SW films are flawed but then again what movies aren’t?? Am I hyped that they’re showing the SE’s?? Not especially but I’d be off me rocker if I said I expected them to show the old cuts, as much as many of us would like them to have.

Airplane (PG) had boobs.
So did the sequel
Spaceballs and Big. Both from late '80s, both have the ‘f’ word, both rated PG.
That’s what she said. ba-da-tsss
Can someone quickly direct me to the part where the idea that they’re waiting until next year’s 40th anniversary is closer to make a statement was debunked? Until then, “It’s been four years” carries no weight at all for me.
A journalist for the Wall Street Journal made an article with loads of inaccuracies and said Lucasfilm has no plan to release the OUT any time soon. Master detective work. Completely debunked. Case closed.

Here are more!
I don’t have that much time!
The Fullscreen DVD for Willy Wonka I believe is open matte. There were two editions that I know of. The late '90s double sided disc that had widescreen and full screen and the single sided 2001 DVD that initially was full screen but fan complaint led to a widescreen release.

<insert image of Elsa from Frozen singing “Let It Go”>She technically works for Disney.
I said it before I’ll say it again. Unless someone official with Lucasfilm and/or Disney (no not ‘someone familiar on the subject’) confirms or disconfirms the release of the OUT, only then will I ‘let it go’.
Sue me. I prefer both Lapti Nek and Yub Nub over the music they were replaced by in the SEs. Lapti Nek for me is a catchy 80s tune. Jedi Rocks barely qualifies as a terrible 90s song! Yub Nub, granted not that great either, is more upbeat and IMO fits the Victory vibe of the scene.
I bet it has more to do with the fact that the SEs are the only presently available version of the movie…
Yep
The Mark Hamill intro was actually from the first “free” tv airing on CBS in 1985. Would have been fairly simple to add a cable showing of the film to it.
Ahh ok. Thanks.
I love the smell of vindication in the evening. ;D
Big fan of Jedi Rocks, I see.
Nah, not a fan of it at all. It is just that the original scene is about as embarrassing as the new one. So I don’t care which one I have to endure.
I disagree in this case. Yeah, Lapti Nek is cheesy, but in a sleazy 80’s way that’s easy to forgive, and fits in well with the atmosphere of Jabba’s palace. Jedi Rocks is cheesy in an uncomfortable 90’s way. I feel embarrassed every time I see it.
In addition to adding a sleazy atmosphere, which you noted, Lapti Nek was written by John Williams. The new one was not if I recall correctly. Also Lapti Nek is consistent with the 80s, and like it or not, ROTJ is an 80s film.
Well put. Agreed 100%
Thanks, I guess I was just out of the loop.
No worries!
News to me as well. Gotta check it out. Thanks again.
