I’m sure its due to the confusion of where the movies were going to be shown.

The new LEGO Star Wars shorts are brilliant. The latest episode, “Poe To The Rescue”, starts a new “The Resistance Rises” arc that leads into TFA. It also takes place immediately after the new “C-3PO: The Phantom Limb” canon comic, which is pretty neat. I’m just trying to justify the fact that I badly want Admiral Ackbar to have a personal ship he adores and calls “Daisy Mae”.

Rumor, move along.

The only thing that seems odd to me is that they have 7 showings on the same day, across the country. Do they actually have 7 35mm prints?

Time zones and a really fast car.

Well, they have a DC and NY showing on the same day, and given that the run-time per film is about 2 hours …

you probably weren’t completely serious, but i considered your point 😃

ALLOL

It’d be easier to have 6 DCP’s than to switch from digital to film to back to digital. It makes sense they would show 2011 in a full saga marathon.

I guess no one here went to the marathon leading up to TFA last December to see which versions were being run?

My friend (who’s a projectionist) did. He says the DCP’s are sourced from the 2011 Blu’s, except for TPM, which was a 2D folddown of the 3D version.

What differences exist in the 3D release?

Beats me, this is what he insists on saying when I ask him.

The writer’s of the new series have a Twitter account

Every time a Drafthouse answers “what version” on Twitter, they say specifically “1997”. Knowing how crazy they are, I’m sure they got film prints, which intrigues me.

I’ve never come across people like this in the real world, but online? Most certainly.

I know very few people in real life that want to discuss anything related to Star Wars.

Yesterday I walked back into my work area and one of my coworkers was saying he’d just seen TFA. My other coworkers saw me coming and said “Oh, there’s Drew, he can talk to you about Star Wars.” “I don’t need to talk about it in that much detail though,” he replied.

I’m known, and a few of my coworkers at least care about Star Wars a little.

I just like comparisons, saw a need on this forum and helped fill it.

I feel like Fox is going to get as much as they can out of the movies before the full rights revert to Disney.

Alamo Drafthouse knows what they’re doing, so it’d be a lot of fun. It is a bummer it’ll be the SE of some sort.

O. J. used to be a professional NFL player.

I honestly forget about that. And he was becoming a movie star. I forgot when people were famous for actual reasons, unlike some people who are featured maybe a bit too heavily on this miniseries?

I always assumed you saw Star Wars in theatres.

Thanks? I did see the SE in theaters opening day. Got interviewed on a Knoxville radio station for “not even being a zygote when the original came out”.

It was easier to remove the ONE instance of red lights on ONE walker than it was to add red lights to every walker in every shot. It’s not rocket science, people!

If it IS the 97 SE on film (which the articles say its the 97 SE, but what do they know), that might be interesting for Respecialized and color grading projects.

And its put on by Alamo, not at their theaters.

** The 2004 SE, more than likely.

** Only at select theaters.

I remember being at work and getting called into the conference room to see the verdict read.

Now that’s very interesting. I wonder why the entire nation was so interested in this case, was it just the constant news coverage that forced it to become important? Was everyone really that concerned about race, like it showed on the series?

I was too young at the time. All I remember is that the highway chase interrupted TGIF, which was the only TV I was allowed to watch back then.

I’ll play with you, Warb!

My wife and I enjoyed the series very much. I only knew a little about the trial, my wife even less, so it was educational and somewhat entertaining. I’d say if anyone was on the fence about it for any reason, let me push you over to have you watch it.

I bought the iTunes copy when it came out, figured if they release a 3D version later this year I’d pick that up. I’m all for having the IMAX scene in a more full ratio, and this is what happened with Into Darkness.

Altered color palette, I cleaned up some of TN1’s shots to replace GOUT shots, Catbus provided improved greedo subs and Hindi, Ukrainian, Russian, Navajo, and Thai audio dubs. Darth Lucas rotoscoped the saber in Ben’s hut from 35mm.

Thanks towne! My friend and I will be watching 2.5 this weekend, which will be still great!

My mom texted me her review:

My Mom said:

Fun, but just like E4 only guy’s/girl’s roles reversed

R2 was cute, Luke the same whiny character, “this guy won’t listen to me, I’m not going to play anymore. I’ll just move to this island and pout”

Liked it though and will watch others as they unfold too.

I think she meant BB-8 was cute, but she’s not wrong about Luke.

I finally download 2.5 last week, now there’s going to be a 2.7? I least I re-figured out how to download things. 😉

What’s the enhancement for this release?

But that fight will be between Obi-Wan and Anakin, and therefore we know that Vader did not “betray and murder” Luke’s father, as Obi-Wan tells him later.  So tim’s right, the whole fight would have to be removed.

No, that lightsaber duel was the best of the entire saga.

oh, it really wasn’t . All flash and no substance

I don’t mean any disrespect. I’m just asking out of curiosity:

Isn’t more ships added to the space battle and pasted shots of Yavin in the background of “A New Hope” also kinda all flash and no substance? They weren’t exactly the main focus of the battle scene.

Again, just asking out of curiosity. If my question offends you, I’m sorry.

Bringing more depth to space battles is hardly flash. It’s logically consistent with how a space battle might look.
