I have a personal hybrid headcanon of various Legends and Official Canon material. It’s all documented and color coded on a Word document on a flash drive. It’s fun, in an almost sad or pathetic way.
I know it sounds like bullshit, but if you call them and complain, maybe they can do something about it? My friend had horrible DSL from Verizon for years and the only way his family could get it to improve was to call them - the improvements were always short-lived, but they did something every time. Worth a shot if you can stand being on the phone and giving someone a polite but concerned riot act. Threatening to switch/mentioning competitors’ upcoming deals always helps.
I can’t threaten to switch because they’re, for some reason, all I can get where I live (which is kinda out in the woods), so their apparent monopoly over us prevents them from ever feeling bothered to help us.
Man, you people with changing opinions of it upon rewatching. I guess the location titles have grown on me, but other than that my opinion’s unchanged. ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯
Just having a article on how they put the films in theater again in 1997 doesn’t man they won’t release the originals at some point.
Yes they can, because everyone who works at Lucasfilm is a fucking moron. Haitian slaves in 18th century sugar plantations were treated better than Star Wars fans in the last 20 years.
Yeah, I know the problem isn’t Netflix, but it was late, and I was tired, and frustrated.
Planned a big Star Wars marathon this weekend, only had time for two movies 😛
Rogue One
Fourth time seeing it (first at home), and I still love it.
Star Wars (Despecialized)
In its various versions, I’ve seen it more times than I could ever count. It’s still a perfect movie, of course.
EDIT: Well, not all the versions are perfect of course, but you get the idea.

I called Lucasfilm and I asked them if they monitor fan restorations and they said no
Was this followed by laughter on their end?
Is the DVD5 version of this still available anywhere? The uloz links through tehparadox don’t seem to work.
Joel Hodgson liked and replied to a tweet of mine. That’s cool.
^I’ve always wondered how someone in a Trek-like future would react to watching Star Wars.
Wait what? He actually altered American Graffiti with CGI? I don’t recall seeing any gungans running around that movie. Looked pretty normal to me.
IIRC, the director’s cut also features extended/alternate/additional scenes not present in the theatrical version. I’ve never watched the theatrical version, though, so I don’t know how correct this is.
Well in this case, the lower is definitely better (more natural in terms of what human eye would capture).
I don’t mind special editions of movies as long as the changes/additions aren’t gaudy. The final cut of Blade Runner is a SE done right
At least Blade Runner has every cut available nice and restored in a nice box set. Georgie doesn’t seem to understand that concept.
And a workprint! Imagine a Star Wars set that included OOT, every SE, and a workprint!

I knew they had the OUT in 4K but what is the difference between 2k and 4K
Since I’ve never heard of this author, I decided to look up what she’s written before. Turns out she writes YA novels about steampunk Vampires and also erotica under an alias. These are actual descriptions from Amazon of her works
Caught in Atlanta’s Snowjam 2014, self-confessed geek Tara is rear-ended by the hottest guy she’s ever met. Ryon is a beer brewer and restauranteur who fits the bill of what Tara and her friends call a “lumberfox”: sartorial lumbersexual style, cultivated facial hair, tattoos, and specialized tastes. When he invites Tara to spend the snowstorm in his nearby condo, she takes a gamble and slogs through the Hothlike blizzard, where she learns that a man who takes that much time with his facial hair knows exactly what to do with his mouth.
When nurse Tish Everett forced open the pesky but lovely locket she found at an estate sale, she had no idea she was answering the call of Criminy Stain, from the far off land of Sang. He’d cast a spell for her, but when she’s transported right to him, she’s not so sure she’s ready to be under the spell of another man. (It didn’t go so well last time with controlling, abusive, domineering Jeff.) If only Criminy wasn’t so deliciously rakish….
I’m less interested now.
she is a women
She is the collective. Is she the Borg Queen?
I feel like he would probably change the name altogether, but that’s the gist of what I think as well.
The strangest part is that now it can actually stay around 384-480p during the movie, but immediately dips to 240 in host segments. As if it’s timed to make host segments unwatchable.
Haha yeah I wish I still had this problem, because at least I could still kinda watch. Now the stream keeps cutting out altogether. I hate ATT, I hate Netflix, I hate all of this.

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.
Dissolution a flawed quasi-religious organization that aspired to be good ≠ getting rid of all good

How to make TPM good:
•take theatrical TPM
•cut out every scene that doesn’t have music
•cut out a few more boring scenes for good measure
•watch with isolated score track
Either that or just watch the video for that one weird Al song.
This is the best trailer I’ve ever seen. I loved TFA and all its trailers, but this wipes the floor with them. Bring it on!
As I have already said, the simple thing is that OOT release is just not profitable enough for them to care. While it might bring millions, that is still a change compared to billions they are making with other stuff.
This isn’t the reason at all.
George Lucas is … still … the reason why we don’t have an official OOT. Disney could give it to us any time they want, but they have obviously told us all to **** off and keep paying for their shit movies.
I even heard the other day there are plans for a hiatus from making new movies.
I doubt it. Main “Saga” movies maybe (which I’d like, actually), but I bet they’ll keep making the EU “Story” movies if nothing else.
The slashfilm article definitely seemed to indicate a hiatus from the movies in general, not just the saga films.
Slashfilm? Blech.
