Honestly have no idea which side people are on with this hand holding thing but I’d like to just mention something people tend to forget which is Rey’s a loner, or at least fancies herself one. I figure that has more to do with the “don’t hold my hand” than anything else.

Watching J.J.'s film my interpretation was that this was funny that a white girl wouldn’t want a black guy to keep bugging her. It was a throwback. Not PC. I thought it was hilarious.

So JJ is a secret racist. Cool, cool.

Huh?

Technically that was the case as of October 2015. Now though, no longer.

Fox knew what they were doing. Putting out the same discs 4 years later at the same time Disney/LFL is releasing digital versions of 1-3 & 5-6 to lead into 7 with that title is defiance. I think Fox is indeed getting into a pissing contest to see how far they can push Disney/LFL because they didn’t get the offer to buy the franchise. The only good that can come of this is by some miracle Fox releasing the theatrical cut of “Star Wars”, but that would just be to piss Disney/LFL off more.

If that’s the case, then I was right, this is Fox pumping as much money from physical distribution without having to spend any money before they lose the rights to (most of) them. I’m not sure LFL can stop them though, they literally don’t have the rights to (see also: the October 2015 Blu-ray releases of the original saga still saying “THE COMPLETE SAGA” in defiance of that no longer being the case).

BTW, I didn’t realize before now that Adywan is disabled, also I don’t see what this article did to make mentioning that even relevant. “He’s disabled, so of course he likes to mess with Star Wars… just imagine what Lucas could accomplish if he was disabled.” If that’s not the point, then do tell me what it was.

You didn’t realize it because it’s not true. The writer made it relevant for no reason.

I must be the only person who thinks Rey’s theme is almost as bad as Rey’s character…

Probably not because it’s 2016 and there’s always someone who hates something but it would be a really obscure opinion.

Honestly, my dad and I’s greatest complaint about the movie was Rey’s character. If she was written better, I would’ve given the movie a much higher rating.

“My dad and I wish the mysterious character wasn’t so mysterious. 2/5”

No one cares that they did that to the original Star Trek series.

But really, I like the new sound mixes but the obvious mid-2000s TV-grade CGI kind of takes me out of it. Fixing compositing issues is one thing, but I don’t want anything actually replaced.

TNG then. If Lucas had actually just gone back and recomposited the original effects, which was the original plan, then I’m not sure we’d be clamoring for the theatrical cuts.

TFA Blu Ray Releases

“Ghostbusters” is the name of the original movie, but the title card on screen says:

GHOST
BUSTERS

Despite what my friend will insist, the official title is one word, no matter how many it says in the actual movie.

On another hand, “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” has always been the official legal title and what was on screen, no matter how many packaging changes we get, that’s the name of the movie.
