Original Star Wars vhs - which set is it?
Time

Wikipedia says:

The Australian Classification Board was created in 1970 to classify or rate all films (and later in 1994, video games) that came into Australia. In the early years of the system, beginning on November 15, 1971, there were four ratings:

G for General Exhibition, carried over from the previous ratings system
NRC Not Recommended for Children (previously X, A or Not Suitable for Children. This later became PG for Parental Guidance)
M for Mature Audiences (Previously SOA or Suitable Only for Adults. This later became M 15+ from the late 1980s until 2005)
R for Restricted Exhibition (later became R 18+ in the late 1980s)

Australia is weird.

^ the link doesn’t work anymore mate (as well as a few pics on the first few pages of this great thread).

Quality work and content on your https://twitter.com/starwarsviscomp - nice one, and for the blog too 😃

Thanks 00J! As for the early pictures, Google changed everything about how sharing works between when I started and now, then I moved them from my personal account to one specific for this so there’s many reasons why they’re broken.

Ideas Wanted for... Eliminating the Map MacGuffin in TFA

I’d say have it be a map to the first Jedi Temple, which Luke had been looking for when he disappeared. That way instead of the map literally being a record of Luke’s journey, the map leads to the place where the Resistance had logically deduced Luke would be.

Since that’s what it is, that’s a good thought!

Everyone in the movie is partnered with a woman at all times. There’s no way you could get 45 minutes, let alone make it coherent. It would be the Kylo & Hux show and last all of 7 minutes.

It’s a troll, without a doubt.

If you read the details it doesn’t say it removes every single scene with a woman, that’s more a function of the clickbait-y headlines about it.

And I’m sure it’s not coherent if it is indeed real.

To be fair, I never actually saw the article, only screenshots of it, which enhanced my suspicion.

Oh, whilst the Vader fight isn’t going to be changed (although with unlimited resources and two stunt doubles…? LOLs) one thing I would like to see changed if at all possible is Obi-wan referring to Vader as “Darth” as if it was his first name and not title!

It was his first name when they were filming… You can think about it as if he’s mocking the title, that’s what I do.
