Not to throw fuel on the fire but, considering the rumor about July 28th being a theatrical re-release of the original…

This magazine is coming out July 25. Now, it could totally be coincidence but isn’t it a bit strange that a 40th Anniversary book is coming out 3 days before this supposed theatrical re-release? Instead of in May?

First I’m hearing about this rumor. Was it brought up earlier in the thread or did news (well, rumor) of it just break somewhere else?

The theory came from the Disney schedule where something is mysteriously being released by Disney on July 28th - Untitled Fairy Tale. They wouldn’t say what it was.

The Untitled Fairy Tale could be a movie called Magic Camp

Produced by Disney. Scheduled for release in 2017.

Which has a title and isn’t a fairy tale.

Spleen is the best way to obtain the full size files correct? I would like to be able to burn despecialized to blu ray discs for media room viewing.

I would say yes.

Is there a way you would recommended I go about gaining access to myspleen? To my knowledge it can be somewhat difficult.

It’s a very brief cameo where he hits on the lead character and is immediately put on an escape pod and blasted into space. Cue opening credits.

This is exactly the place to ask general questions on Despecialized, as long as you’ve already read the first post and saw if it answered your questions.

Is V2.7 the most recent available?

Yes.

(from what I understand there is a V3.0 is in the works)

Eventually.

And is the native resolution 720p?

Yes.

Also Does it come with a start up menu?

No.

😉

Possible April Fools joke says Rainn Wilson is playing Harry Mudd in Discovery.

Politicians ignoring what the people want to line their and their family’s pockets affects us immensely.

That too, but I was referring to the idea that rich people never try to get richer.

Rich people getting richer is literally their jobs.

As pointless as it is, I’m interested to see this What-If stuff.

So which one of you punks just added me? Lol I only accepted it cuz their page said something about star wars revisited so I knew it was somebody from here

JEDIT: nevermind their page says. Hai 005

I love how Disney hasn’t announced anything past 3 sequels and two spin offs, but somehow we’re going to get 15 years of the same thing. We don’t know what else they have planned. THEY don’t know what else they’re planning.

It’s being negative for the sake of being negative, and I’ve been tired of it since the day I got here.

Does anyone realize that SW has been creatively bankrupt for 35 YEARS NOW!

Besides redlettermedia?

I was like “oh look, gf posted in Random Thoughts, I wonder if it will be a doomsaying prophecy?”

I was close.

Well the franchise is worse off than it was than in 1997. Even if Disney gives the OUT in 4K quality, we still have to deal with half a dozen films that just cover the same ground as ANH/ESB. How many times can you see AT-AT’s in a film before the audience gets bored? Disney is a far more cynical filmmaking company than prequel-era Lucas ever was.

In your opinion. Which most of the world doesn’t share.

No one has to “deal” with movies. You can ignore them (like I wish I could to you on this forum again) and the rest of us can enjoy them.

How can you ignore them when 95% of movies released today are corporate tentpole blockbusters pandering to Chinese audiences? Will anyone like it when the Star Wars franchise is reduced to two good movies and twenty mediocre ones?

Disney is not about storytelling anymore, its about EXPLOITING NOSTALGIA to make a profit.

You can find a new hobby besides not watching movies and just complaining about them.

Ender’s post was perhaps the most helpful post ever posted, said in the kindest way possible.

It would be good to get at least one of as many Rebel flight suits as possible to add new featured pilots to the briefing. I rather liked the grey variant seen in Rogue One. It would nice to see that in ROTJ

I DO know there’s a difference between R1 & ANH’s flight suits, thanks to Ming instantly pointing it out on his FB.

Revisited does have an accurate flight suit…

An ESB snowspeeder flight suit, not an ANH one

Of course there’s a difference.

So reading on the ISP privacy thing, they say they repealed the law because it should be the FTC making the rules, not the FCC. But instead of waiting for the FTC to make the rule, they left this hole where they could do it. It doesn’t make any sense to me either way.

No one knows how far Ady is going to go with ANHRHD. I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

Revisited does have an accurate flight suit…

Well said!
