Interesting to see that 4K83 has more info on the left of frame than the BD.
BD has more on the right though.
with all its imperfections.
I hear that often, and this is obviously a personal peeve, but this makes it sound like the SE is perfect. Or at least more perfect than the original version. And that just isn’t true.
Maybe that isn’t even what’s meant, but.
TFA had my attention, but this is looking to be something I might really like.
Dunno if I wanna subscribe to an entire streaming service just for one show though…
Manos has a beautiful 2k transfer, an uncleaned “grindhouse version”, and great docs on the making of the movie and the restoration of the film.
It’s a fantastic bluray release.
Meanwhile Mike Verta presented Disney with an astounding 4k restoration of Star Wars, offered it to them for free and they said “nah.”
It looks the same on my cell phone.
What’s the big deal?
Shit. Someone found us out. There is no difference.
I mean, obviously you could tell what with using such an ideal monitor.
/sarcasm
VERY COOL! That’s really amazing.
But, I was wondering “what makes this exclusively OOT?” and suddenly…
YES!
I’ve honestly disliked that line from the get-go.
Why say it within the context of this story? Luke is about to face down Vader. Don’t tell the audience Luke isn’t important anymore. Even if Lucas was thinking Luke should have a sister at the time, I don’t see why he would reveal that to the audience now.
It is clear to me Lucas originally wanted to have a new character be Luke’s sister, but when he decided to stop making Star Wars movies, he wanted to tie everything up into a neat bow. Happily ever after.
Yes. Yep. Yeah.
So if Han and Luke are having a love triangle, just make Luke her brother! Tadaa!
There was no “love triangle”. Leia wanted Han. She wasn’t torn between them at all.
Yeah! Cool stuff. I really do hope to compete!
Actually, “compete” might be too strong a term… I just wanna be in the race!
If you’re unfamiliar, Le Mans is a 24 hour endurance race. The track is 8 miles around. The cars typically average about 3,000 miles in the 24 hours.
I have no hope of competing in the Le Mans race, but I might have a shot at next years Le Mons!

Yes! This!
I’d forgotten as well!
“Younglings”
I always forget about this, then I’ll see a clip or a quote and, man, that’s just SO bad.
Hilariously stupid.
the whole Mon Calamari thing is EU
I’m glad you agree.
Admiral Ackbar is not important.
Sure he is. Don’t be silly.
He’s a gag character
How so?
a squid-man from a race called the Mon Calamari.
That’s EU.
I personally would say that the droid assembly line sequence in AOTC is the worst sequence ever to appear on screen in a Star Wars film. It’s long, bland, inconsequential, and ultimately completely forgettable. Do you agree? What would you say is the worst? The Ewok movies don’t count, the Clone Wars animated movie or TV shows don’t count, the Holiday Special doesn’t count, and Rebels doesn’t count. We’re only counting the live action films: episodes I-VIII and R1.
The droid assembly line scene was no worse than the trash compactor scene in A New Hope. Both signify the “Belly of the Beast” stage in Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.
They both signify the same thing, sure, but the scene in AotC is indeed the worst/most cringe inducing scene in the saga. The trash compactor scene isn’t bad or cringey at all.
Punch’s list is no different than other users here.
That’s not “edgy” on a site that was originally dedicated to the Original Trilogy.
GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS (2019)
LOVED IT.
My face hurt by the end because I was smiling the entire time.
I’ve seen reviews complaining about the human characters being weak. I couldn’t disagree more. All three leads had wonderful arcs (recognizable arcs, sure, but well executed) important things to do that impact the story and were a joy to watch. I also loved the minor characters and villains.
This thing is well made and it’s absolutely WILD. Go see it.
Doris Day. She lived to 97!

… juvenile and insensitive comment removed, as was the original post - Anchorhead - …
If she’d been involved with Star Wars, the moderators would have already asked you to remove your stupid, insensitive pun. But, since she was not, have a go I guess.
This is great news!
The best news this thread has brought me is that you’re still around here!
After the dumb bannings and the stupid mass exodus that followed, I lost my many of my only living friends.
Might sound lame and sad and stupid, but It’s been a cause of much depression in my life.
Watch Star Crash, then Star Wars.
Fantastic double feature.
Its almost like they don’t know how to respond to something “real”. They’ve always had CG so in a sense that fake digital look is just what unreal things (like aliens or spaceships) are supposed to look like in their minds.
It’s not just aliens n’ spaceships. People really think that revised Obi-Wan/Vader duel making the rounds looks “real”.
Crazy.
Jesta’ said:
Any writer can write a Star Wars movie, but they won’t be true continuations of Lucas’s core story.True continuations of Lucas’s story have been written by other writers since Lucas started hiring them to do so in 1976.
Yep. The best thing George did was get other creative people involved.
The worst thing he did was taking it all back to himself.
Guys, please. I don’t have a problem with it. But lotta fans today are so nit picky and thickheaded that they would call it a plot hole if it was in a Disney movie.
Yeah, can’t argue that at all.
Everybody always lookin’ for an issue to point out these days.
Watching ESB on TNT while I’m at the gym, just thinking about how mad fans would get if the movie came out today at the scene where Luke falls off the gantry and gets swooped into the tunnel.
Why?
Because there’s no explanation for it provided in the film. So it’s a “plot hole.”
I think the visuals and sound design do a great job of letting the viewer know what’s happening.
really disliked Let Me In
Me too, but have you seen Let the Right One In, the Swedish original?
I love that film.
If TPM had come out in 1987, I think there might have been a few cracks. 😉
Well that’s what I’m saying. The longer things continue, it’s inevitable that some fans won’t like the direction things take.
I know many people who don’t like the influence GotG has had on the series, so it’s already there.
It’ll be interesting to see how the MCU fandom looks in another 5/10 years.
