A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

To coincide with both the 50th (!) anniversary of STAR WARS (1977) and the 40th anniversary of their original adventures…Mel Brooks, Bill Pullman, and Rick Moranis are returning to a Galaxy Far Far Away…

I’m very much looking forward to seeing this. Cool trailer and fun ending, too. 👍

Probably more so than a few of the officially announced films - and more chance of it actually making to screen too… 😉

 
Edit: This deserves a thread of its own, so…

Spaceballs II: The Schwartz Returns (coming in 2027)

For me unless there is telltale sign its hard to tell if something was shot separately as a different element, unless it draws attention to itself.

I have no way to know if Amy was shot separately from Ewan, but sure looks like it.

Yeah, there appears to be a number of these kind of shots throughout the PT.

Like the Geonosian battle in AOTC - where both Jedi and droids in the background die despite not being hit by anything.
 

Or at the other end of the scale…

Mace Windu misses trying to delfect away a blaster bolt… and gets shot in the torso! 😉 (poorly misaligned CGI)…

For me this shot (from ATTACK OF THE CLONES) is the one of the worst.

ReShoot-Wig Obi-Wan walking through the empty Jedi Temple. And George must have said: “Well, put some Jedi here and there so that the place looks busy”.

Aayla Secura just walks in an awkward straight line towards Obi-Wan without doing anything.

Nice! I always expected Obi-Wan to hit his head on the ‘tunnel’ if the scene had continued for a few more seconds! 😉

Also weird that Aayla Secura casts no shadow like the others in the scene do.
 

Those who participate in the community here may find it much easier to acquire projects they may be seeking.

Those who make little effort - or have a history full of ‘link request’ posts - with little-to-nothing else… likely won’t.

As expected… the movie is now being reported as “shelved”

😂😂😂

https://thedirect.com/article/lucasfilm-star-wars-movie-upcoming-shelves

The latest Star Wars story to hit the pause button is Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Star Wars film, which will include the much-anticipated return of Daisy Ridley’s Rey. The movie was first announced at Star Wars Celebration in 2023 and has since stopped and started through the development process.

The latest update on the Rey movie comes from entertainment insider Daniel Richtman, who reported on his Patreon that the Rey movie is “on hold once again.” Richtman reiterated that “the project is not canceled” but is “temporarily on hold.”

Is Daniel Richtman the only person claiming this? I’m more inclined to believe his ‘trailer news’ - which for me has been significantly more accurate than than his ‘movie news’ over the years.

Not saying this latest claim is wrong (it is what many of us thought possible given the number of stalled/cancelled projects we know of in recent times)… but probably worth checking sources (multiple unconnected sources is always better, or from the usual trade publications etc)… before taking a single source with a mixed track record.
 

Edit: Jeff Sneider, for me is someone who is a little more on the money - especially re Star Wars in recent times, says the movie is not on hold… and also explains why… at 50m 35s into this 2hour interview video from John Rocha: www.youtube.com/live/jWL-EvjUeu4

Again, check the sources… and see if there are more unconnected reports leaning into this take on the film not being on hold.

Prepare for the dumbest headline in internet history…

‘Star Wars’ “Looks Terrible” in Screening of Long Lost Original 1977 Version

The years have not been kind to the oft-romanticized original print of the sci-fi classic, which lacks all of George Lucas’ post-release tweaks and polishes and looks “like a completely different film.”

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/star-wars-1977-screening-version-review-1236291808/

Aye mate, spot on. The article even seems to be formed on the opinion of a critic from The Telegraph… which itself used a very click-bait/engagement title for their piece (likely a sub-editor’s choice).
 

It then veers into a Special Edition apology of sorts… quoting George in 2004 with his…

“this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I’m sorry you saw a half-completed film and fell in love with it” - despite his further additional slew of alterations for 2011 and 2019 releases - which of course are not mentioned.

As well as repeating George’s oft-debunked and incorrect claim of “we’re talking millions of dollars here” (to ‘refurbish’ the original cuts) - without question.
 

A sad and inaccurate article which reads like a propaganda fluff piece for George. And also an inaccurate pity. Yet many people will likely, and unfortunately, believe it.

Although a number of people did call out the article for what it is, on twitter: x.com/THR/status/1934655860888027467 👍

Damn, why didn’t I hear about this screening? This kind of thing is not likely to happen again. Not here. Not in my lifetime.

Hopefully we’ll be seeing something similar for the 50th anniversary - maybe something even better, too.
 

Just got back from an afternoon screening. Can’t disagree with any of that, mate.

WTH were the end 2 minutes about? Completely at odds with the rest of the film - should have just ended it with like you say (or slight edit with the boy doing the voiceover).

If anything, those last couple of minutes put me right off from seeing a possible sequel to this…
 

Really enjoyed that overall - something unexpected, fresh, and different (plus with something to say) to the ‘28’ series.
 

Chiwetel Ejiofor reads possibly the funniest letter of recommendation ever

www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P0ePOlBsDA - a 4 minute video from the Letters Live youtube channel.
 

The blurb: 'In March of 1999, the following letter of recommendation, written by the president of Pendleton Tool and Die Company about an unusual employee, was reprinted in New Yorker magazine.

Chiwetel Ejiofor joined us to read this hilarious letter at Letters Live at the Alexandra Palace Theatre back in December 2018.’

Many good videos on the channel. I especially enjoyed…

Himesh Patel reads the most hilarious response to a university rejection letter - 2 minute video.
 

Respect to you for typing all that out, lakamosque. Especially for sticking to the same layout, too. 👍
 

Ah, that is a pity.

It may be worth glancing through An Index & Help Thread for Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases - though likely a long shot.

The OOT : The changes to the OT films & general OOT (1977 - 1996) discussion thread thread, too.
 

It is not something I can remember George talking about at the time - though other more knowledgeable members will hopefully chime in with their recollections (and hopefully with a link / article for you). 👍
 

If you do find the interview meanwhile, please post it up in here - it should be interesting to see/read.
 

I’m not sure anyone has done a 4x3 project in HD - though some of the full screen 4:3 ‘Laserdisc-to-DVD’ preservations may be of interest, mate?:-

'1️⃣ • Original Trilogy Preservations : Analogue Formats + 8mm / 16mm Film… (Theatrical bootlegs through to Laserdiscs)

^ in the An Index Of Projects + ‘Info & Help Thread’ for… Star Wars Preservations.
 

It may be worth asking in Star Wars Preservation if anyone is interest in asking such a project - or knows of one already?
 

Good luck with it, screams. 👍

Title. I’m not sure where I read it, but from what I remember reading it might be a televised interview. Also, is there anything like a master list of George Lucas interviews?

It may be in…

‘3️⃣ • Archival / Historical Discussions: History & Events of the Original Trilogy : People Behind The Scenes in the OT era’

…of An Index & Help Thread for Original Trilogy Discussion - and scroll down to ‘Category B’ which has a few interviews by George.
 

The likes of doubleofive, none, and JadedSkywalker etc may know more about the interview you’re referring to. 👍

Alan Arnold’s book: ‘Once upon a Galaxy: A Journal of the Making of the Empire Strikes Back’ - may also be of interest (for a full and candid look at the making of ESB).
 

There are just so many of those type of interviews… a master list of them would certainly come in handy; a July 1981 interview where George states the planned Prequels are about Ben Kenobi:-

I couldn’t find one unless oojason has something like that, but here’s a 1980 interview I came across in my search, just for anyone that wants some light reading:

Nice read, enjoyed that mate. 👍
 

Jaded pointed me to ‘Cinefantastique Vol 06 No 4 Vol 07 No 1 (1978).pdf’ on the Internet Archive (PM me for a link if you wish). I’ve only had time to read the insightful & informative John Dykstra interview so far - though there are a number of interviews there from many of the creative talents that worked on Star Wars (before the PR shine, gloss, and rewriting of official history etc)…
