Since it was a book designed to be a low-budget sequel to the original movie, where the author was asked to reuse props, not include Harrison Ford’s character, and cut out a space battle so they wouldn’t have to shoot additional miniatures in case they wanted to make it a movie. Yeah, it sucks.
My friend tells me he found that they will be digital projections, so get ready for the 2004 SE again.
How cute – they actually believe there was only one original EU.
And that’s one of the problems with Legends, they took EVERYTHING seriously, even when the writers didn’t. Trying to keep the original Marvel Comics canon with Dark Horse Comics with books with sidebars in RPG manuals…
I thought that even the people who didn’t want the old EU to be decanonized thought the entire thing had been falling apart for a while now.
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”
(Frink literally told me to)
Lots of factual inaccuracies too. The guy was really nice though!
It was a badly written article all the way around, I felt.
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.
Right.
“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.
I’ve always wanted to see that Gary Seven spin-off that never happened.
There’s a Gary Seven comic series that is pretty great.
He did come back for The Animated Series. With a drug that makes women fall in love with men, and men to… Become best friends with men.
“I, Mudd” is one of my favorite episodes of TOS. It’s just so goofy.
I’m on iOS, but I’m curious what it would add beyond what the vastly-enhanced mobile site already does?
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.

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.
