gosh i could really break some forum rules right now

If the current conversation sticks to the political history of the time being used as social commentary / allegories in the Star Wars films… and doesn’t get personal… given the context of the conversation so far, feel free to go ahead and carry on the conversation.
 

(I may come to regret this - please don’t make me regret it, anyone - thank you.)

Edit:-

“If the first trilogy is social and political and talks about how society evolves, Star Wars is more about personal growth and self-realisation, and the third deals with moral and philosophical problems. The sequel is about Jedi Knighthood, justice, confrontation, and passing on what you have learned.” - George Lucas in 1983.

^ Nice one, thanks. Please let me know if there is anything of interest that could be included here 😃
 
 

A new category has been added to opening post; Category No. 39 - ‘George Lucas Quotes on Film Preservation. Pt 2.’
 

The Film Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 1990 by director Martin Scorcese dedicated to protecting and preserving motion picture history - of which George Lucas is a board member.

The quotes below are taken from a video of George Lucas talking about the Film-Foundation - and the importance of preserving movies. Click on the Film-Foundation link above and then on the George Lucas image icon to watch the actual video.

George Lucas - “The idea of film history, the idea of preserving films, which are so important to our heritage and culture, and which are part of what I think are a very significant art form, especially going into the future, I think is paramount. The reality that we face which is half the films before 1950 have been lost and we’ll never see them again… is a tragedy. And it saddens me every time I think about the fact that I’ve seen stills, I’ve heard stories about certain movies and I’ll never, ever be able to see them. Because they’re gone now. And I think preserving films - in terms of the legacy for the future - is probably the most important thing we can do.”

You wouldn’t be “bothering” him. PMing creators for links to their projects is standard practice around here.

 
As usual, Ash is spot on…
 

The following first link may be of some use / interest - for anyone looking to acquire a project on here…

I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation I am interested in - but don’t know how to get / acquire / download it? post in the ‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com thread in the General Assistance section of the site…

Links to which also appear in the About and Help sections, and also in the Welcome to the OT.com; Introduce yourself in here - a good place to make your first post - as well as in the four Index Threads for the respective Preservation and Fan Edit sections of the site.
 

Of course, the Fan Edit / Preservation Forum Rules and FAQ is a thread that everyone interested in fan edits, preservations and other projects on here should read…
 

Good luck with it Destinyg133 😃
 

With the news of Kevin Feige doing a new Star Wars movie, maybe there are some actors from the Marvel universe he’ll have in mind - or actors that have themselves wouldn’t mind being in, perhaps?..

I would also like a copy too please.

There are 6 or 7 Highlander projects mentioned in the:-

An Index Thread (and more) for Fan Edits and Projects for Other Properties… thread

…including three projects for Highlander II; ‘Highlander 2: Extended Versions’, ‘Highlander 2: Extended Project’, and ‘Highlander 2: Zeist Collection’.

You may have better luck reading through those project threads.

Good luck with it 😃
 

Dammit - why didn’t I guess first and then lock the thread? Easy wins 😉

Darth Giacomo - I’m looking forward to reading your intriguing Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace re-written script when I get the chance - nice one! 👍
 

A really cool recreation - and great for those of us who that haven’t been to the Disney parks to view the original.

Great website, podcast and youtube channel you have too, emmett - nice one, thank you 😃
 

What the hell is this shite?

Thread locked.

Do not carry on the conversation into other threads on here - thank you.

I wonder if TFA is the original release or the one from the 3D combo that has the Abrams commentary.

It does NOT have the Abrams commentary mate - according to the NathanPButler video linked on these releases above. He talked about that particular subject in depth on it.

That’s actually a good question. Anyone have photos of the backs of the covers?

The NathanPButler video above has him holding up the back covers (and spines etc) to the screen for a decent look at them mate.

To absolutely no one’s surprise, the new releases are just repackages of the existing releases, albeit with new disc and cover art. Some day.

Also…

‘From the Star Wars Home Video Library #221: All 20 Sept. 2019 Reissues’ - youtube video by NathanPButler:-

NathanPButler’s youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/ChronoRadio/videos - is well worth a watch for information on the various Star Wars releases down the years - including releases for non-film content such as Resistance, Rebels, Clone Wars and more - as well as a fair few rarities from around the world too…
 

You guys could just ask him? 😃

He is on twitter (maybe other social media too?)

I really dislike the added Jabba scene in the SE, and not only for the obvious and poorly executed CGI either.

In my opinion Han would have managed to get off Tatooine WAY before Jabba even got the chance to catch up with him.

In fact, I don’t think Han would be careless enough to leave any trails to allow Jabba to discover where the Falcon was docked.
Han was better than that!

Just another thing to mess up Han’s character, and is right up there with the ‘Greedo shoots’ scene for me!

Well, the problem is the scene was originally made back when the rest of Star Wars was originally made. You make it sound it’s something Lucas thought up years later. He just didn’t have time to add in an effect to replace the stand in actor back in the 70s so the scene got cut.

You refer to the professional theatre, tv & film actor Declan Mulholland hired to play the role of Jabba - playing the role in made to measure and full screen-ready costume?

It is well documented that George was short on money and time whilst filming Star Wars - so it is surprising he went to the lengths - and cost - to hire a professional actor and then also fitted him out with a screen-ready costume… especially if he was planning to then going to replace him with ‘an effect’ later.

Surely a stage hand or anybody around the set willing to do a ‘stand-in’ would have been a lot cheaper, quicker and easier… than going to above lengths?
 

As Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz pointed out… the Jabba scene is also fairly redundant as the audience has already learnt much of the same information - and dialogue - from in the Greedo Cantina scene.

Along with Kurtz’ quotes on the subject of “… and that character was originally going to be a human being”, and also “Jabba is [now] this a giant slug rather than a human being… the sightlines are a bit odd… the position of the characters… if that had been the way the original scene was going to be shot… it would have been shot differently”.
 

That there are no plans, sketches or mentions of an alien slug-like Jabba prior to shooting the film is also an indicator that Jabba was - as he originally appeared for the shooting of the film - a human.
 

Lucas attempting to go back in time and alter scripts/screenplays to fit with his later narrative claims also raises issues on him once again ret-conning history to fit in with his later and grander ‘vision’(s)…

More information on this can be found here - George Lucas: Unreliable Narrator & Time Travelling Revisionist…; in Category No. 9 - ‘Jabba originally was a human; from planning to filming…’
