So, another great musician : John Bradbury from The Specials, another band I won’t see live again 😦

Thanks, I’ll try it.
As I wrote many times before, I always remembered the Biggs hangar scene being a part of the movie, I even remember how surprised I was when I actually read online in the late 90’s that it was added to the 97SE, I didn’t understand what was the website author writing about and I thought they extended it or something like that. That’s one of the reasons why I started to read ot.com and after I downloaded my first OOT preservation set (EditDroid) I was shocked the scene is not there. And no, I haven’t seen the documentary footage until I found it many years after on tbone’s website, nor have I heard the radio play / read the comic book and I read the novel AFTER 1997.
There was another scene which I remember seeing every time I watched my bootleg SW VHS - in the briefing room scene right after Luke says it’s NOT impossible because he used to shoot rats shorter than 2m, the scene (in my memory) continued with Luke shaking hands with the guy next to him and they introduced themselves to each other. I remember it because the guy introduced himself as Wedge, and I was confused why there are 2 pilots named Wedge. Much later (not sure where) I read that actually that guy was the original Wedge before he was replaced with McGregor’s uncle.
Do you mean “like” as “I think it’s actually a good movie” or “like” as “I think it’s so bad that it’s good” ?
Movies I really like :
Star Trek : The Motion Picture is my favourite Trek movie.
Movies belonging to the “So bad it’s good” category :
Star Trek 5
The Christmas Tree : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1651146/
The Room
The Star Wars Holiday Special
Star Trek is a treasured franchise for Paramount and CBS? What ?
They forced the producers of Enterprise to switch from 35mm film to 1080p digital for the last year, and it looks like shit. A few months later they cancelled Enterprise. They seriously considered to release just DVD upscales for the TNG Blurays. They wanted to only reuse the shitty DVD bonus material instead of making the great new documentaries and restoring the deleted scenes. They refuse to do HD versions of TAS, DS9, and VOY. They refused to do new CG effects for the Blurays of Enterprise and instead insisted on using shitty looking upscales. They didn’t want to do any new VAM for the Enterprise Blurays. All the DVDs used the same shitty NTSC masters as the VHS tapes and laserdiscs, the only reason why TOS got later remastered for DVD was that a different company paid for the remastering. They refuse to do any Star Trek movies and instead of them they feed us with random crappy action flicks which have nothing to do with Star Trek except the title and some character names. They start a new TV show (but with a showrunner which is responsible for the shitty movies) only because they finally understood that the fans are still not dead and they’re watching the fan films.
Star Trek is in very bad hands. In hands of businessmen who know how to make money but have no idea why the original show and TNG became a part of modern culture. They say ST is a treasured franchise for them, but they behave like it’s that unwanted child they’re just tolerating because it’s useful for them.
Well, seems like the TFA Blu-ray/DVD will be released April 5, 2016.
Abrams have also said that a good portion of the deleted scenes will be made available.So again only “a good portion of” the deleted scenes? Is he REALLY going to repeat the Star Trek Into Darkness home video fiasco ?
Abrams is hardly the guy making the calls here though? It seemed that he didn’t know what would make it into the Blu-ray, but that he had been told that some of it would be included. You can blame a director for a lot of things, but what makes it into the Blu-ray is rarely one of them.
Well, his company Bad Robot and he personally are responsible for the STITD home releases “bonus features problem” . At least according to Paramount.

Who would say that Lemmy was mortal?
Nice work guy(s)!
This looks to be footage from the DEed, which is pretty cool. The choice of shots suggests the editor was in the know.

That guy is a horny pervert
My friend has seen the movie yesterday, I absolutely LOVE his opinion 😃 He said something like "it’s like porn, I thought the story was stupid but I liked the actors and the action "

how to watch this??
Read the first post
Was the “who are you ? I am noone” bit from the trailer(s) in the movie?
I usually call it Star Wars, only if it’s not clear from the context what am I talking about (franchise or movie) I call it “the first one” or “Episode 4”
JJ Abrams doesn’t change his movies after their theatrical releases AFAIK
I thought your colours were really good looking, at least it “feels” like I’m watching a 70’s movie. Good to know that an owner of a Tech print confirms they’re pretty accurate.
The 3D effect was the best I have ever seen.
Well I love the EditDroid releases, so it’s time to check it. Thanks for the “spleeny” reminder!
um, how can ROTJ get both 0/10 AND 5/10 at the same time? Is that your way of rating ROTJ 2.5/10?
Because the first ROTJ was supposed to be ROTS of course 😃
My rating :
TPM - 3/10
AOTC - 4/10
ROTS - 0/10
SW/ANH - 9/10
TESB - 10/10
ROTJ - 5/10
TFA - 6/10
Hi All.
Apologies… I’m not super tech savvy. Is there any way I can download the despecialized editions as simple .avi files (or similar) so I can just put them on a USB and watch them on my TV?
Thanks in advance.
Are you sure your TV can’t play the mkv file?
Well the Blu-ray set does definitely not include ALL of the deleted scenes. Maybe like half of them ? But probably less. There are so many scenes which we only know they were shot because we have like a still photo, or a confirmation by an actor, or a script excerpt with a confirmation by somebody that it indeed was filmed. Also, the deleted scenes from the prequel DVDs are not on the Blu-rays at all. And the Rinzler e-books contain more alternate / deleted scenes from the original trilogy.
Interesting how many people are watching it more than once. Is it because it’s Star Wars or because you think the movie was that good?
BTW I hope a home video release will have lots of deleted scenes.
I didn’t see a trailer in front of TFA. There weren’t as many trailers as I was expecting though. It must vary from theater chain to chain.
The trailer was shown even here in Slovakia. Together with 20 minutes of other trailers unfortunately 😃
