screams in the void

It’s pretty neat , but …where are you taking this …thing ?

Ouch! I liked them. Disney really ought to release a nice boxset with the uncut episodes in their original broadcast format.

Maybe I will give it another watch , I just remember being a little disappointed when they came out , they had a lot of childish antics like r2 break dancing and such , though I did like the backgrounds that had a Moebius/Heavy Metal like quality to them .and they did have a big influence on the Prequels . guess that is down to Ben Burrt writing some of it .

well …it’s gotta be better than the Droids and Ewoks cartoons from the 80s

Huh… nice catch 😃 (I’m off to the opticians)
 

Edit : Seems on the 40th anniversary content on the SWcom site they use the original artwork…

just caught your edit , now I am doubly perplexed , they can put the original poster and a revised one on the official site , but no official high quality release of the OT ?

now I am curious as to whether Tom Jung reworked it or someone revised it .also, the Imgur uploader listed Drew Struzan as the artist of episode 7 poster , he did a poster for it as a convention exclusive , but not the official one , though it mimics his style . I will never understand why they did not have him do it and would love to hear more on it .

lol…something just looked off to me about it . the one on the official site looks more like Vader in Empire now , like the scene where he is reaching out to Luke as the Executor is chasing the falcon near the end of the film . His helmet was more of a matte finish in A New Hope , It’s like they are trying to make it glossy like the other OT films

it is there , look at Vader’s eyes and then compare it to Tom Jung poster here…https://imgur.com/gallery/2JqSA even the colors are different.

this is a fascinating topic , I wish it would continue so I could learn more .I remember going to the cinema as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s and seeing film grain and dirt/scratches on a lot of movies .

well , this IS the EXTRA EXTENDED edition after all …just kidding …this sounds like a neat project and I have always wanted to see the deleted scenes incorporated into the film

wow , just noticed that on the section of the site that says ,create a work of art , there is a cropped version of the Tom Jung theatrical poster of 77 Star Wars where they altered the Image of Vader .strange .

agreed , the subject of effort you mention was also mentioned in the first field notes video of Ahmed Best I posted that got glossed over

that could be true , however , I do feel compelled to point out that abuse is not just a physical thing and being wealthy does not mean one is immune to it .

Ahmed Best , field notes pt 2 …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CORTqcuZM_4

maybe , he was under no obligation to do so however .Don’t get me wrong , I am all for the OUT being released , I just think it is plausible that his reaction was knee jerk and retaliatory . but that is just speculation , I don’t know the man personally .

George was quoted as saying in 2012 , " Why should I make more when everyone yells at you and says what a terrible person you are ?"…granted , he came back after the Disney merger ,had a meltdown , then came to acceptance and then came back to support all the subsequent productions .I watched Mark Hamill’s ceremony for his star on the walk of fame earlier this year and George Lucas and Harrison Ford attended , an interviewer asked Lucas about Star Wars and he said he had nothing to say . I think he is still going through the stages of grief. He did say it was like a divorce after all . Also . on the subject of Jar Jar , Ahmed best has started doing some field notes on the backlash of his character , seems he feels George could have stuck up for him a bit more …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoRD_SfIbwE

or not

it’s ok , he was just flame baiting , it can be hard not to want to react to that kind of behavior , and hey folks , lets not use this thread to mock each other either please. After Adywan’s post in here earlier today ,and this encounter , I would like to think we can all learn something and be cool .

SilverWook would you kindly wipe my account off your site? I don’t want any association here anymore. Politics have officially infultrated Star Wars and now the franchise is dead to me. They don’t want my white male nerd input and I don’t blame them.

If you’re going to throw a fit because you can’t take over a single thread, no problem. All you had to do was restrict your arguments to threads where the debate is open and welcome, or create your own.

I’ve locked your account to prevent further spamming of this thread.

Thank you Jay

and now I am kindly asking him to leave this thread . Thank you Silverwook .

I can’t see that statement as anything but inflammatory and conjecture as to what the fanbase is or is not made up of , see the OP and kindly stop , or exit the thread .

I wish I could have seen that. I was at that con, but only for a few hours.

wow ! I wish I could have been there . here is a link to a picture of them and a write up of the convention…https://www.quora.com/Did-Gene-Roddenberry-Star-Trek-and-George-Lucas-Star-Wars-ever-meet-Were-they-friends-Were-they-aware-of-each-other now that is RESPECT and being non toxic adults

that would be ideal. Sadly , I think he might be met with the same behavior . And at the 10th anniversary Star Wars convention , Gene Roddenberry attended and shook George’s hand and George told him of how he used to stop and watch Star Trek re runs everyday while writing the scripts for Star Wars .It was documented in Starlog magazine

lol

and I would also like to quote one Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan The Barbarian …" civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split , as a general thing ."

Adywan , I have experienced this kind of behavior as well , directed at myself both online and offline .It’s pathetic and online it seems to be a lot of people who come out of nowhere to be dicks . If those kids you encountered came at me like that , I would have told them to go eat a Tide pod !
