(Rian Johnson says there will be deleted scenes on the dvd etc)

The soundtrack will be interesting though 😃

(must… stop… images… of… old… Star Trek characters… in… scenes from… Tarantino’s… previous… films…)

This is me from around 7 years ago (I have more hair, and less weight, and generally all around more handsome now - honest! 😉)

It’s from the part of the fan protests that ousted Gillet & Hicks from owning Liverpool FC - I’m the guy in the black footy shirt:-

‘Trump misses deadline over moving US embassy to Jerusalem’…

I sat through a Star Wars marathon earlier this year, starting from Phantom Menace, through to ROTJ, and it was awful. By the time I got to the good stuff, everyone else was fatigued and sleeping. We had TFA, but I was the only one up by the end of ROTJ, and I was kind of sick of it all by then.

If I had to do it again, I’d just watch Star Wars and call it a day.

I don’t know how people do it (watching all 7/8 films) - especially when you get past your 30’s and need afternoon power nap too 😉

I’m in my 40’s - man, I couldn’t watch more than a couple of films before losing focus - even if they were good films (personally… something that Prequels are not counted amongst).

Fair play to you for getting to the end of ROTJ.

Back in 2012/2013/2014, I’d watch seven-to-ten movies a day, often back-to-back. Honestly, I don’t know how I managed it. I’m lucky if I can get through three movies in a night now.

Porn doesn’t count mate 😉 (does it?)

Did your chair have it’s own butt groove? I hope they were all very good films.

Nice one 😃

Cool triple monitor setup:-

Nearly everyone forgets Caravan of Courage, Battle for Endor and The Holiday Special, Mala 😉

Though the man has already seen & rated TLJ - nice work! 😃

Mate, some us haven’t had our morning coffee yet.

That’s a little much, man…

Where did you oculus VR pic go? Now, that was funny as 😃

Really like the more transparent look for the subtitles - nice one.

Plus, as a UK’er, nice to not see the old arial type face - too many very poor subtitle companies use it for their news bulletins and etc - it’s become a bit of a standard bearer for bad / comedy subtitling! 😃

I know not many will agree, but the Lego Star Wars games are the best Star Wars video games right now.

I agree - I think they are fun, addictive, playable and enjoyable games you can pick and play for 5 minutes, or a couple of hours. A fair few things that made gaming fun in the first place 😃

Very nicely done - I love the blue logo you used for the Star Wars covers 😃

Good work on doing a regular blu ray - and Criterion covers too!

Yeh bruvs, I’d play it.

You just know Bor Gullet would be one of the bosses.

All’s well with me n’ Warb. He apologized via PM and his apology is accepted.
Warb’s now had a harsh finger wagging from the powers that be, and I think we can all leave it under the bridge. Er… in the water. Or however that saying works.

JEDIT- Water Under The Bridge! (looked it up)

I first misread this as “Warbler Under the Bridge”.

Ah, the Chili Peppers’ hard-to-find follow up song to Under The Bridge 😉

This is likely more suited to the Star Wars Preservation Section - where it may also be brought to the attention of others who contributed to / worked on the Despecialized Editions - or have knowledge of similar projects, which may be of help to clashradio.

Again, I apologize to ray_afraid. I still disagree with him, but I went too far in saying he was acting like a nazi. I’m sorry.
 

In fact, for the purpose of clarity, Ray was not acting like a Nazi at all - nor anywhere near remotely approaching so…

Ray hasn’t rounded up the disabled - both physically and mentally, civilian men, women, children, babies, the elderly and infirm, political opponents, people of a different colour, people of a different ethnic background, people of a different religion or beliefs… - and then incarcerated them, put them in concentration camps, executed them, tortured them, experimented on them, sterilised them, gassed them, starved them, used them as slaves, raped them, stripped them of their not only their possessions but their humanity, ordered them to dig their own graves, or violated the Geneva Convention - amongst many other atrocities carried out by the Nazis before World War 2, during the war, and since then.

Nazis, whose actions resulted in the deaths of circa 60 million people - and affected millions more through injury, misery and fear. Nazis who would have likely wiped many more ‘non-Ayrian types’ from the much of the world map had they triumphed 70 odd years ago - through some of the most horrific methods in human history. Nazis who would likely still want to kill, maim or injure many people for just being ‘different’ to them and their narrow-minded, intolerant and sick views - IF they could get away with it.
 

Personally, I am full of admiration and respect for Ray in keeping calm and simply walking away from the discussion with the man who said '…you’re just acting like a Nazi. There, I said it.’, and then later accepting your… apology.
 

I find it also strange - baffling in fact, that Nazis are being mentioned in the same breath for comparisons with BLM, MLK, & the NAACP - groups that are trying to highlight injustice, and ask for more social equality. Again, they are nothing like the Nazis.
 

So, in summing up… Well done, Warbler - in an effort to win a discussion on the internet you told someone they were acting like a Nazi.

And then - after initially refusing to apologise - eventually apologising by stating ‘I apologize for saying you were acting like a Nazi. I still think you were wrong, but that went too far. I’m Sorry.’.

Also, the ‘I still think you were wrong’ in your apology - get a dig in along with the apology, eh.

An apology nothing like, this more befitting, example… ‘Ray - I was bang out of order and deeply regret my words for the offence they very likely caused you. It is one of the lowest things anyone could ever say to another person - and for that I am truly sorry. I am disgusted with myself. Please accept my heartfelt apologies - though I fully understand should you choose not to.’
 

Consider this a warning Warbler - as well as to anyone else - if you call someone a Nazi on here, or tell someone they are acting like a Nazi on here again (as Warbler did to Ray), or any other comment using the word ‘Nazi’ as an insult, slur or derogatory term to a fellow member - you will be banned.
 

I noticed your post stating ‘I will no longer be discussing this subject’ - that’s probably a very good idea, I strongly suggest you adhere to that.

If anyone has any issues with this feel free to PM me.

tommyauck did a great blu ray & dvd set based on the 1990 VHS set - and he may well have his original 1990 VHS box set still.

It may be worth sending him a PM to see if he can help you?
