I never thought I would be 2 degrees from Doug Walker.

I love how I was brought here by his tweet.

bkev, why don't you tweet more funny things on Twitter? It's what its there for!

If he let us finish the work, the Wampa would be a sock puppet.

While Adywan has more personnel, he's still the one who puts the pieces together, he just gains the pieces from more places now.

Take it outside, gentlemen.

It would be daft to stop these projects based on something that might never happen. When you get a letter from the magic kingdom then rethink the project but until then nothing has changed. Act as you intended to before today and if they ask you to stop you still have experience and some cool bits of kit. Until then you still have nine films to make work so get busy.

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask, how are the apologists handling this?

I hope beyond hope that we get the theatricals, but I see it going more like instead of focusing on the past and milking it over and over again like Lucas, they will completely ignore the old movies and focus on the ones they own every part of (though I guess Fox really has nothing to do with even SW at this point, right?).

We'll either be catered to, or completely ignored in favor of the new fans. If they can walk a middle ground, I will applaud them.

Here's the deal I made on Twitter:

Here's the deal, #DisneyLucasMerger: you restore & release the original cuts of the Original Trilogy, I will buy them & we will parts ways.

(Cont) If you don't, you get nothing from me. Original Trilogy, or nothing. Got it, #DisneyLucasMerger?

Here's another deal #DisneyLucasMerger: restore the originals, AND hire @adywan & @jamieswb and I will buy EVERYTHING YOU SELL. #longshot

I'm honestly surprised its not after my Twitter exploded with this Disney/LFL news. I assumed we'd all go mad!

135 replies? That doesn't seem like a lot.

I still love you guys. Sorry I'm just lurking, got a new job and don't want to get sucked back in here just yet!

I'm sorry, TV's! I have a new job, which limits my posting habits somewhat. I don't post because I know if I do I'll just get sucked in and not do my work!

And I'm only selling the stuff I got in the last few years that I'm not in love with. My real vintage stuff is going to be displayed proudly once more.

If you’re lucky, my fingerprints will still be on the packaging! Order now, before I regret posting them!

I don't care for the new logo either, but Adywan is replacing the Fox logo with the post-2009 version, so it wouldn't be totally out of sync. Besides, this logo wouldn't play before the movie, only the the menus of the DVD/Blu-ray versions.

Last I heard, Ady was sticking with the original logo, but replacing the imagery with ESB-related stuff.

I refuse to support the Gawker network for various reasons, so I won't be linking from the official site.

Odd that its on their gaming site though.

This is incredible.

I remember when I had some idea of what we were talking about on this thread.

Got Minecraft today. My life is officially over.

Updated the ESBR Facts page, mostly with stuff from the first post here. It also has links to all the videos, in case you missed one!

Glad you're OK, Dayv.

I'm game.

A closer look reveals 97 and 04 are especially awkward because Han shoots Greedo twice.

I liked how they managed to kill them both off while letting them live happily ever after, but the whole episode seemed meh to me. The Angel rules seem to have gone from "don't blink, they move faster than light", to "feel free to turn your back on them as long as the lights are decently bright". It was a pretty good episode. I'm sure this new companion will do alright, though if the actress is playing the same character from Asylum, we'll have another "meeting someone when they die then watching them backwards", though I don't see the Doctor getting involved with another person he KNOWS will die.
