I have two young children. They have seen the OOT, TFA, Rogue One, and the Rebels TV show. The prequels are not allowed in my house. For a while I covered by daughter’s eyes during the obi-wan hand chop in the cantina, crispy Owen and Beru, and Luke losing a hand in Empire. But this year she’s fine to watch it all. She has a great head on her shoulders and is very aware that movies are just pretend. I am planning on taking her to see The Last Jedi in the theater.

So many people on social media are saying that TLJ teaser was boring

That’s because people are dumb and expect trailers that give away the entire movie plot.

More than four years on from the sale of Lucasfilm and still no OUT. They are taking the fucking piss.

I think I am coming to terms with Harmy’s Despecialized or TN1 35mm scans as the only versions I will ever need. Disney won’t do it. This was the ultimate chance to announce a real preservation project, but no. Instead let’s all stroke George’s ego some more.

Can’t we stroke George’s ego AND have the OOT?

Honestly I don’t think so - because to release the unaltered versions would be a slap in the face to George, who thinks the changes are the only correct versions.

Fuck it. I’m so tempted to buy the burned Despecialized Blu-Rays off ebay. I’m beyond sick of this. Fuck you Lucas you old bastard. No one likes your Prequels no matter how hard you whore them.

Mate, just download them from myspleen - please don’t give money to the pricks on ebay profiting off Harmy and everyone who contributed to making the DeSepecialised Editions happen.

Exactly. Instead of buying them off eBay, put that money towards buying a blu-ray burner!

Well that was underwhelming. Definitely lacking in whelm.

Now the Imperial March… or at least I think. I’m pretending I’m connected through a dialup modem and this all makes sense.

Man I hate Verizon right now.

Damn, who’s chopping onions in here?

The stream! It’s breaking up!

Edit: Presented by Verizon? YOU HAD ONE JOB!

I thought 12:30 EDT.

Hopefully they’re just getting the prequel shit out of the way to appease those incorrect fans… then they’ll move on to the panel proper.

I hate the PT almost as much as the next man but there are no objective opinions dude. Stop that shit man.

Oh come on I wasn’t being completely serious. Lighten up. Over on reddit I get called an “incorrect fan” all the time because I dislike the prequels. Tongue in cheek.

I really don’t see any chance they even mention the OOT at this panel. Especially with George there.

Yeah, I think we’re done here.

To channel Samuel L Jackson:

“I’ve had it with these motherf%^$ing prequels on this motherf^%$ing Star Wars panel!”

Hopefully they’re just getting the prequel shit out of the way to appease those incorrect fans… then they’ll move on to the panel proper.

Man, I’m getting a very anti-OUT vibe from all of this. Not cool.

Uh-oh, he’s on his soapbox again.

Yeah… time for the comically oversized cane to come out from stage right…

George Lucas on stage? Well there goes any chance of an unaltered announcement.

An attendee tweeted that they were playing Yub Nub prior to the panel.

Holy shit!

Yub Nub for life! What does it all mean!?!?!

11:07 and I’m still not seeing anything… hmmm.

I’m hoping the big announcement is Kathleen Kennedy coming on stage, simply stating “we hereby formally acknowledge the prequels are shit”, drops the mic, and walks out.

Frankly prequel fans are used to the Star Wars universe not making any sense. Leaving out prequel references when they could be inserted couldn’t possibly be more disruptive than the prequels themselves.

My thoughts exactly. Prequel fans can still have them, but dammit keep them out of my sequel trilogy.

If Hayden is going to feature in TLJ as the ghost of Anakin Skywalker, how would we feel if they portrayed him as an aged man, perhaps not quite as old looking as Shaw was, but much moreso than Hayden in 2005? Made him look not like the Jedi he was when he turned to the dark side, but the wizened figure he may have become if he had continued on as a Jedi.

Hayden as an Anakin force ghost in TLJ would REALLY upset me.

I only watch the original theatrical versions of the OT, and I never watch the prequels, so I would hate to have to see something from a version of events I’m trying to ignore.

Good Morning America is going to have some kind of “Big Announcement” tomorrow in relation to the 40th Anniversary. If it’s an OUT release, would they really spill the beans ahead of Celebration? Hmm.

Probably another Force For Change campaign.

Hopefully there is or is not something announced at Celebration

The odds of that are pretty good.

I think there is a 100% chance of something or nothing being announced.
