Now i love that we have the Despecialized Edition, But i wish we had a Harmys Special Edition with the Good things that were added/fixed.

I agree with most of your list, but why do you think the extended rancor scene is good? It’s repetitive, since you already get to see the same **** going on in the scene with Luke and the guard. The off-camera screams in the original were enough to cue in the audience that something bad happened to people who fall down there. It also built suspense towards what Luke was up against, when that big giant metal door slowly opens and reveals the Rancor. The SE change is a terrible editing mistake.

Agreed. I like that they got the original actress who played Oola, but the scene is a lot like the wampa additions to Empire. Ruins the mystery/suspense.

^ Jim Lee’s #1 form the early 90’s is a good starting place, IMO.

Perfect.

People hating on AOTC because of " the romance" have it wrong.
There wasn’t any romance in AOTC. But there should have been.

Most recent thoughts on my ranking:

1- SW (always been my favorite)
2- RO (most like my favorite for obvious reasons)

Rogue One would probably make my top 3 simply because of its unique tone but for the final scene. The movie prides itself on being a more grounded and realistic take on the Star Wars universe, but the discontinuity of the Tantive being at the Scarif battle, the plans being carried onto the ship instead of being beamed from afar, and the fact that the rebels knew that Vader had seen them escape makes the entire exercise ring hollow for me. In a more ‘delightful’ movie such as TFA this sort of continuity issue wouldn’t be as big a deal, but here it really ruins the film. I’ve described it like a runner tripping at the finish line and breaking their nose two inches from the ribbon.

It’s funny because I don’t even mind that. First of all, it’s discontinuity with another movie, so by itself it’s not like the ending doesn’t make sense, only after the fact. Second of all, I’m not even sure it’s discontinuity. Sure, it’s definitely not the way most would have assumed things would go down, but if you think about it, so long as Vader just assumes the plans were beamed to the Tantive rather than Raddus’s ship (and the fact that he didn’t force grab the plans would imply he indeed wasn’t aware) then there’s no real continuity problem at all.

“The Rebel flagship is disabled, my lord, but has received transmissions from the surface.”
“Prepare a boarding party”

It seems very much like he thinks the plans were beamed to Raddus’s ship and there is no other ship with which they can escape, otherwise why not just destroy the flagship outright? They clearly think they have all the time in the world to take prisoners and recover what was stolen, and it’s a surprise for Vader when the Tantive escapes.

Well yeah it’s a surprise to Vader when the Tantive escapes, because I doubt he knew it was in there, but I think it’s the seeing it escape that would cause him to then assume that the plans had actually been beamed there rather than Raddus’s ship.

Yes to this.

I don’t know where that comes from. It’s not a “realistic” Star Wars movie, it’s just another Star Wars movie. It may seem “gritty” compared to the cartoonish PT, but I think it sits beside Star Wars and Empire just fine.

And I wouldn’t say they’re giving us the finger so much as ignoring us (there is a difference).

Well the latter is much worse. I would prefer they stated their intentions, whatever they may be.

I’d rather be perpetually blue balled than potentially have my balls cut off outright.

I don’t think that comparison really works…
I’d much rather they just say “We have no plans or interest in an OOT restoration.” so that we can move on to other options.
I just want to hear a straight, honest answer from LFL/Disney. Are they interested? Got something in the works? No interest? No plans? I just want to know where this issue currently sits.

^ Kill 'em. All of 'em.

I would probably enjoy the new MST3K a lot more if my Netflix streaming could at least stay at 480 for a few minutes. Alas, I’m stuck shifting between 240-384p.

Who is your ISP, the Pony Express? 😉

Even worse, AT&T! Surely, a beast as foul as Reptilicus.

AT&T is the worst. I feel bad for ya.
Also, Reptilicus reference for the win!

Pics or it didn’t happen.
Wait…

Even if it seemed as though there was great effort taken to put Hayden in the scene, it’s still a very stupid idea.

I mean, what is there to do at a train station?

Ugh. I hate everything.

I love it! Would love it even more if they didn’t move the mouse cursor onto the video (pet peeve) and if the idiots laughing would… not.
This would make for some great bonus content on a 4k restored OOT! Love the talk of Tarkin using the DS as a stepping stone to recognition. Ties in very well with R1!

^ I love that video.

On a slightly more related note: it’s hard to get an idea of scale from the photos - how large was the hangar model?

9ft L x 6ft W x 3-4ft H. It was made 1/72 scale

Holy Crap! Is this for real?! That Wampa looks sick. I can’t wait to see it in action.

That’s… no. That’s not the Wampa.

Hey grammar police he made an error oh i know let’s attack him.

He didn’t make a grammar error and nobody attacked him. What are you talking about?

This part is what i was talking about. That’s… no.

He was saying that the Wampa pictured is not the wampa Ady built. Again, there was no grammatical error made and nobody attacked anybody.

I mean at least we get out first look at TLJ tomorrow…That’s something at least.

It’s something to some of you. I mean, I hope it looks great and I hope the movie turns out to be one you love, but it’s no comfort to me.

Well I’m glad that you can be at least be glad for those who are looking forward to VIII and I’m sorry your dreams were crushed once more. I don’t even call them my dreams anymore because like with extraterrestrials landing in a public place I don’t exactly see it happening anytime soon but I would surely relish it.

I wouldn’t call TFA a “dream crusher”, I just didn’t care much for it. I only went to see it once and wasn’t at all angry when I left- I actually liked several moments and Rey was great. It was money and time well spent. But the things that bothered me (and even bothered most of it’s fans) are things that really cripple the film for me in a way that can’t be overlooked.
The PT was a crusher for me. TFA is a decent movie that I just don’t care much about. So, yeah, I hope the fans of TFA have another, possibly even better movie on the way. I gots no beef. But, I’m a sensible person so why would I? 😉
(sorry for the random rambling. Over n’ out.)
