George deliberately sold it to Disney to fuck up the distribution rights to make all but impossible for the originals to be released again.

I’ve read a lot of things by you (since they turned off the Ignore feature), but this is perhaps the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever said.

In the other thread I started I mentioned BB-8 made a noise not present in the BD.
I stick by this.
Around 50% of the cams have that noise, and it was definitely there when I saw it in the theater 10 times, every time. Whether it was an audio error for some prints or some versions had it and some didn’t due to differing audio tracks, I don’t know.
All I know is that the BD does not have this and there are cams that do.
Take it as you will, but that noise BB-8 makes during the shot sounds exactly like a noise BB-8 would make, not an audio glitch.

I watched the movie with headphones this weekend and definitely heard something during that shot. Maybe it’s lost in the mix.

The comments that mention “SJW’s” forcing the removal of the controversial butt victory pose shows me that this isn’t sarcastic, its a GG movement to try to convince Blizzard that if there’s going to be necessary violence there might as well be unnecessary sexism. Because men.

It’s the journalistic equivalent of “my friend’s friend knows this guy”.

No, it’s really not. That’s not how reputable journalism works. If the WSJ says they spoke to someone familiar with the matter, and that person says Lucasfilm has no plans to restore the OOT, then I absolutely believe that’s the case.

So naive…

I’m a person familiar with it. I would say the same thing. Therefore, truth.

Every other time he quotes LFL he says he talked to a spokesperson. But at the end he just says “someone familiar with it”. Different people, perhaps?
