General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread

2. Luke had nothing. There is just no indication that Luke was after her in SW. If anything, one could say she was hitting on him and his reactions were rather cold and clumsy.

Uh...

She angrily turns, and as she starts out of the cockpit, passes Luke coming in.

LEIA: Your friend is quite a mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything...or anyone.

LUKE: I care!

Luke, shaking his head, sits in the copilot seat. He and Han stare out at the vast blackness of space.

LUKE: So...what do you think of her, Han?

HAN: I'm trying not to, kid!

LUKE: (under his breath) Good...

HAN: Still, she's got a lot of spirit. I don't know, what do you think? Do you think a princess and a guy like me...

LUKE: No!

Luke says it with finality and looks away. Han smiles at young Luke's jealousy.

Yeah, Luke pretty clearly had a thing for her.

Star Wars: Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams **NON SPOILER THREAD**
Time

J.J. Abrams said:

How we were going to get there, what the choices were going to be, who was going to be in it – all of those things I knew would have to be figured out, but it was all based on a foundation of this indescribable, guttural passion for something that could be. It’s a similar feeling that I have with Star Wars. I feel like I can identify a hunger for what I would want to see again and that is an incredibly exciting place to begin a project. The movies, the worlds could not be more different but that feeling that there’s something amazing here is the thing that they share.”

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat he didn't even mention a mystery box!

STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 <strong>REVISITED</strong> ADYWAN *<em>1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION</em>
Time

In terms of Adywan's edit being the SE we should have had, I don't think anyone can argue with this as it actually has LESS changes than the official SE and addresses many of the official SE's excesses. Ady's version is somewhere in between an enhanced and remastered Theatrical version and George's butchered SE. I fail to see how this is a bad thing.

Disagree. Although Ady removed some changes (Greedo shoots first, Jabba's at the Docking Bay), he introduced new shots (the Death Star reveal, the TIE reveal), added new effects (redid all lightsabers & blasters, upgraded the table to holographic, used an explosion from Stargate SG-1), and made further changes (edited Obi & Luke's conversation back to the script from the OOT version, edited Obi & Vader's duel) beyond that. It goes beyond what the SE did while correcting the places where the SE went wrong.

And it was good.

Disney Acquires LucasFilm for $4.05 billion, Episode 7 in 2015, 8 and 9 to Follow, New Film Every 2-3 Years

Well no matter how you spin it, JEJ voice acting is incomparably more important to Vader's portrayal than Prowse's physical acting. You could easily replace Prowse with some other random guy while JEJ was irreplaceable.

Agreed. I'm not saying that some people wouldn't notice the difference but, in general, you could get way with a different large man in the suit.

Just, you know, not Hayden.

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)

Agreed on being kept away from his money.  Disagreed on the removal of the Episode IV A New Hope, at least to the point that it isn't an option...  I'd say that both IV and purist versions of the same cover should be available, so people can choose between consistency and correctness when they print their own set.

Just remember that the film itself doesn't have the EPISODE IV A NEW HOPE part.
