Fuck it. I’m so tempted to buy the burned Despecialized Blu-Rays off ebay. I’m beyond sick of this. Fuck you Lucas you old bastard. No one likes your Prequels no matter how hard you whore them.

Mate, just download them from myspleen - please don’t give money to the pricks on ebay profiting off Harmy and everyone who contributed to making the DeSepecialised Editions happen.

The problem is the Despecialized editions simply aren’t good enough. The colour timing is way way off. In the case of A New Hope it’s dire. Silver Screen edition is great, but for the sequels all we have is the grindhouse versions.

I think they are great - though I am not fussed by stuff like the colour timing being ‘way way off’ etc - for me right now the DeSpecialised Editions and the 35mm SSE & Grindhouse are the best way to watch the OT - and certainly far better than the pitiful official releases we are continuously being sold.

The eventual work/release of the v3 DeSpecialised Editions will likely see even better results than before too, along with the continuing work on the 35mm by the other lads.

Any chance we still can get an OOT announcement?

With all this Williams, I feel like they’re just going to announce the Star Wars in Concert is coming back or the tour of the 4 movies with the live orchestra. Oy.

a new album from John Williams… ‘Star Wars Music - From the Broken Stream…’ 😉

Poor stuttering stream the past 10 or so minutes - not so good from Verizon.

It’s rough but here’s a very nice video on how a Rogue One crawl could have looked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa-gaZLbeg0

There are a few interesting crawls in the Star Wars Fan Edit section on here - though this one stood out for me:-

http://www.space.ca/star-wars-rogue-one-crawl/ (with video of the crawl)…

ROGUE ONE

The Jedi are all but extinct, the
Republic has fallen and in their
wake, the Galactic Empire has
engulfed the far reaches of the
galaxy in fear.

Persecuted members of the Old
Republic have been thrust into
hiding. Only members of the
REBEL ALLIANCE dare take a
stand against the ruthless
Imperial forces.

Deep in the Outer Rim territories,
the dastardly Director Krennic
has discovered the location of a
long lost friend; one capable of
completing the Empire’s most
powerful weapon yet…

 

The more I read it the more I like it. For me the crawl fits the style and tone of the the OT crawls, as well as the Rogue One movie itself. It isn’t too long and doesn’t overburden the viewer with details or minutia, and ‘scans’ quite well too.

The 1st paragraph setting the outline of the Star Wars universe since the last film (chronologically Episode III),

It’s 2nd paragraph setting the current events - along with the acknowledgment of a fledgling Rebellion starting to fight back vs the oppressive Empire,

and the 3rd paragraph ‘setting the scene’, as it were, for the start of Rogue One itself…

all very well done 😃

I have always LOVED this crawl and have considered making a personal version of Rogue One with it as a crawl but I’m not exactly sure how I would remove the title card effectively.

I have no idea either mate 😃 Though I’d love to see this in a Fan Edit - or like you, just added to ‘my version’ of the film itself…

The genius lads in the SW Fan Edit section on here will likely know how - and be of any other assistance too…

(luckily the original title card is very quick - and the scene where young Jyn is waiting in the bunker, and then Saw arrives, could/should be quite easily seam into the her waking up in the Imperial Prison cell. There is a little overlapping of the film score with Saw’s voice though - when Saw tells young Jyn ‘my child… come, we have a long ride ahead of us…’ around 7m.30s in - to get around…)

I could get on board with a ‘Rey gone bad’ movie, R rated, of course…

😃

‘Rey gone bad’ sounds like a film that would go unrated, and straight to the internet.

On second thoughts I would also be ok with this too! 😃

Noble6 (or Noble 7?) has been busy again… 😃

What time does the OOT nonsense speculation finally end? Is there a cut-off?

When we get an official release of the OOT I imagine 😉

(I’d love there to be one, I imagine most on here would too, but I’m good with the Harmy DeSpecialized Editions - and the great work going on with the 35mm prints on here too.)

Man, I hate [[The Force Awakens]] ! It’s such a bad movie! Oh wait, here’s a movie website with some of the most notoriously toxic users on the planet, and there’s a bunch of bad reviews! This supports my opinion that the movie is terrible! What’s that? The average conglomerated review score is fairly decent and doesn’t reflect my hand-picked stack of reviews? No, that’s wrong! It’s a bad movie! Disney shilled those reviews! Nobody but an idiot could actually like that film! Here’s my million-page list of reasons the movie sucks! Prove me wrong! /s

Brilliantly concise and accurate 😃

If the mods were able to give ‘custom titles’ to certain users as a warning for others of what to expect this should be it!

ditto.

At least that’s only for 4 years lads - we’re stuck with our ‘Royal’ lot for a lot longer than that…

SilverWook said:

Wow. Just Wow.
Even if that was the guy, none of that had anything to do with how badly the situation was handled. And since when is winning money at poker scandalous? Unless you’re having illicit gay sex and drug trafficking during the game of course. 😉

Warbler said:

I agree, even if the guy was corrupt, unless it had something to do with how he got his plane ticket and that was why they were removing him from the plane, it has nothing to do with the situation at hand.

Welcome to the hypocritical world of hate, judgement and values that pass as ‘news’ that is the Daily Mail. They seem to specialise in shit like this.

Not to mention the ‘not checking their facts first’ part either 😉

They’ve just had to pay out and issue and apology to your First Lady for running a story where they claimed she was an escort.

United is going to have to cough up millions in a lawsuit, or just to make this mess go away quickly. I hope Mr. Dao takes them to the cleaners.

Seems the Telegraph and Daily Fail may be paying out too…
