 You're not crazy, but you are wrong. It's okay, people misremember all sorts of things.

A Bug's Life / Antz

It's not a great love triangle, but it's enough for Han to be confused at the end of ROTJ.

These are all coming from the same source, well, lack of source. At this point, I won't believe anything that doesn't come directly from StarWars.com.

 A very reliable source named KenralyShadow told me that in the new 4K-sourced SuperSpecial Editions, Luke's hand will be shown falling out of Cloud City and landing on a passing freighter which then carries it into space. Later, when Vader loses his hand, it will fall past the DSII reactor, land on the Falcon as it passes through, and be carried away from the explosion safely. When Lando takes the Falcon in towards the Forest Moon, the hand will fall off and drift away into space. After the dancing celebration, we'll see Vader's hand bump into Luke's hand. The two hands clasp and float away into the void, which is right where we'll find them when SW7 opens.

At least the final shot of ROTJ won't be the happy clappy group photo anymore!

Guys, it's only actually creepy if Luke & Leia know they're siblings... which they don't. It's maybe sorta creepy if the viewer knows? Maaaaybe? But I'm hoping in the Revisited saga, the viewer won't.

Any speeding it up would only introduce weird sped-up-ness.

 I dunno man that's how I get over the fact that it's in the original but if we're getting what may be the definitive version of the trilogy then we can go without any incesty-type-stuff. And I should have clarified that I don't mean just speeding up the film, but using that as well as other editing tricks to make the kiss shorter in general.

 There is a love triangle in the original trilogy which is only resolved by Obi-wan revealing that two of the people in the triangle are siblings. It's okay for that to be in a movie.

Forgive me! Although I don't think the Stormies armor is bad, just that the Clones looked more fierce for lack of a better word.

 Dude, you are definitely allowed to think that. I, personally, do think stormtroopers look a little bug-eyed.

Demonstrating that two-toned is a lot less two-toned than it looks.

More weird plot rumors involving the Inquisitors and a flashback.

I don't like either of the new stormtrooper designs really. Why do these have to be updated, we don't want R2-D2 to look any different, or sleak Star Destroyers. These are iconic designs and can just be reused.

If they kept it the same, we'd all complain about how "OH COME ON are you telling me NOTHING changed in 30 years???"

Maybe, but as I said, R2 units have looked the same since the prequels, so I don't see a problem. 

Obviously in "real life" things are up graded and evolve in a design sense so it would be more realistic, but the trade off is we won't have the visual element that made the original films so great.

It's just a personal opinion, I want to see old stuff in the new movie so that at least it looks like Star Wars. Nothing can beat the original stormtrooper, they're great.

 Militaries change their uniforms fairly frequently. You won't find any US soldiers in Iraq wearing the same stuff as in WW2, Korea or Vietnam, and it's not just because the camo is a different color. Droids, meanwhile, are perhaps more like cars. As such, although it happens from time to time, it's getting rare to see one of these on today's streets - And Artoo may be a similar rarity in the Sequel Trilogy. On the other hand, droids may have somewhat longer operational lifespans, but the analogy is probably close enough.

It's strange that so many people were torn up about losing the canonicity of post-Jedi EU like the Thrawn Trilogy, and yet there are people who are just as annoyed that the Empire is still alive and kicking

Different people have different opinions from each other.

That face is waaaaaaay too close to the camera

Jaitea, I don't have permission to access that img

That...is how making and editing films works.

Yeah, I'm not totally convinced that's your fault. Sometimes this board...

confiscate our non-sanctioned versions of the movies.

Confiscate our digital files which have been distributed via public computer networks? Oh no!

I don't really know what we'd do if we were all in one place.

e.g., watch a few fanedits and a few preservations on a big screen; attend a talk by Adywan|Harmy|Poita|Team_Negative1; attend an Adobe AfterEffects speed-tutorial; count petition signatures with pat man; check out booths publicizing new fanedits and preservations; meet TV's Frink; be a part of a short movie documenting the convention; .

 I just realized we can't meet until Jay builds his own convention center.

I don't really know what we'd do if we were all in one place.

"So, how about that Star Wars?"
"I'm all for it!"
"And how about George Lucas?"
"Ugh!"
"Good, good...wait, wait, which version of Star Wars?"
"Oh, the theatrical re-release with "Episode IV A NEW HOPE" spliced in"
"YOU HERETIC"

I, for one, have never been to any of these conventions, despite being very near Otakon and Shore Leave.

I live in the same town as AnctuFaalb, but we have never met.

Be careful, doubleofive, talk like this could lead to people meeting.

The last photo kind of the looks like a hallway of the Death Star in ROTJ.  Although, I don't recall seeing any hallways like that in the film.  A deleted scene briefly showed Vader walking down a hallway.

Then there's this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAj7bujK4vA

He recognized it as looking different?
