<span style="line-height: 14px; ">SCENE: Exterior, Lucasfilm Ranch. Night.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: George, what’s wrong?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: Guys… do you remember the trilogy? The “original trilogy?”</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: Just a little bit. It died when we were getting old.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: What do you remember?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: Just images, really… from the Internet, and old laserdiscs.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: Tell me.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: It was really beautiful. Flawed… but perfect, with those flaws. Why are you asking us all this?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: I have no memory of this “original trilogy.” I never knew it.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: George, tell us. What’s troubling you?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: The Blu Ray is here, now… a full box set.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: How do you know?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: I can feel the leaks hitting the Internet.... As long as I live, this will be the only trilogy anybody ever sees. Well, along with the prequels. You have to face it.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: Why?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: This is my vision, the way it was meant to be.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans (horrified): Your vision!? </span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: There’s more. It won’t be easy for you to hear it, but you must. You need to forget there ever was an original trilogy. You’re the only hope that everyone forgets I ever made a movie with models and puppets.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: George, don’t talk that way. The original trilogy is a piece of history, and needs to be preserved for future generations!</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: You’re wrong, guys. The original trilogy is gone. This is the REAL trilogy. In time, you’ll learn to accept it as I have. Greedo shot first. Jabba was always there… and Darth, well, he’s a screamer.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: (Staring Blankly)</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George. Yes. It’s true, guys.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: (sad) We… we know… somehow, we’ve known since 1997.</span>

 

 


Brilliant. I'm stealing this.

OH, and I don't care that you are Gay, that doesn't affect me at all, I am not bothered by it, if it doesn't bother you, why should it me, so I do not know why you threw that out there.


Because it means I don't have a wife...and probably don't have kids? lol. don't read too much into it.

My GOD man, it is NOT about ignoring reality, but it is not something to chat about, I have never sat around with my SW buddies and started talking about GL passing away just so I may have a chance at the UOT, or talked about dying in general with my Friends period, I mean what the hell? I would rather talk about what movie to see next? what video game to play next? who are you dating now? how is your Wife and Kids? but never death talk.



Guess that's what makes the world go 'round, now innit? My friends and I talk about EVERYTHING. Nothing is off-limits. I'm not about having superficial relationships that only exist around movies and video games. Theres a bit more to life than that.
And, considering I'm gay, I have no wife or kids.

 


All I am trying to say is there are A LOT better things to talk about with your Friends, Family and Significant other, than death LOL, or discussing the death of someone so you could possibly benefit from, with a particular movie or CD.


I guess that's one of the shitty parts about getting older. When you're young, everything seems perfect and frozen in time. As you get older, you learn the truth about your favorite artists. Very rarely do they stay exactly as you remembered them, unfortunately.

I think I need to drink more or smoke more pot. Or both. lol :)

Man, I'd seriously love to crash blu-ray.com right now. What a bunch of assholes.



LOL, what did you expect? the second you brought up GL dying so that the UOT can be released, I knew you were going to get suspended, whether you were hoping for his death or not, it is bad form either way, so this really should be no surprise really that this happened, I mean I am not, I saw it coming.



Nah. I'm not surprised in the least. They're just so freakin' annoying. I let my temper get the best of me. ;)

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">It's probably "inappropriate" for their forums...but</span>, as I stated, we talk about that on the Madonna forums all the time. Once she's dead, things will change. I'm not wishing death on anyone. I'm just stating my opinion of what will happen.

 


Well we all have our own thoughts on this, but I personally think it is inappropriate for any Forums myself, I know I do not like to read about that kind of stuff at all, I mean I know we are all going to "die" as you say it, but we do not need to talk about it, especially when it is about getting movies released, OH well I said enough, I need to get back out of this thread.


That's interesting.

I guess I'll go back to not ignoring reality, then?

That's why I hate some of the things people post in here, wishing or not minding death of someone over because you disagree with something they did or didn't do involving an entertainment form. Overboard. Big time.


There's a difference between wishing death on someone and what I said. Everyone is going to die...including George Lucas. I was just speculating as to what will happen when that inevitably does happen.

Shrug all you want, but a work of art is still being wiped off the map.


Were not denying that, but outlandish hyperbole and mearly sitting on your ass complaining about it is boring.  Less flair, more accuracy, more creativity to your concern might convince someone else.

But speaking of 'being wiped off the map'  this review has been pulled down:

http://productmarketing.com/2011/08/20/star-wars-on-blu-ray-on-sep-19-700am.html

google had the opening line as:

Wow. How the hell did you find that. lol :) did you email him?

The thing is, in this case I'd actually be more inclined to believe that this isn't the footage from the actual Blu-Rays, as they're snippets from documentaries, so they would probably use the 2004 HD master just as it was, just like Empire of Dreams uses a lot of 97SE footage.


Doubtful...the footage isn't snippets from the documentaries. They wouldn't show scenes this long in a documentary. The intro's for each little EPK would be clips from the documentary and then there's a corresponding snippet from the actual film.

And don't even get me started on the fact that there aren't any legitimate documentaries on discs 7 and 8.

Which probably means we get the same edited version of SPFX that has always been on video, or worse yet, the 90's version of Making of Star Wars that replaces William Conrad's original narration. :(



How was SPFX edited?

 


Some clips from a couple Disney films apparently couldn't be cleared for home video, and were chopped out. This makes Mark Hamill's reference to them later on in the doc rather cryptic. An uncut version recorded from an European broadcast has been spotted on Youtube.


Interesting. Never knew that.
