If you had your choice, would you have wanted George Lucas to stop after 1977?
Time

No, just no. That is film revisionism to the extreme and, completely against what we've been fighting for. Regaurdless of any oppinion I hold on any film he's made none of them should cease to exist just becuase, he refuses to release the original version in 480p or, 1080p. To go through the extreme of altering the space time continuum to erase films from existense is just becoming the beast himself. This is George's dream.

I just remembered this show a few days ago and, searched for it on youtube. This is the only reality show I ever bothered to vote in and, the ones I did vote for won. Hell, it's basically on my short list of reality shows I ever bothered to watch period. Right next to Solitary and, the first season of Big Brother.

You don't have to photoshop - see Leonardo's posts, for example.  However, the one thing you must do is post something pie-related.

On another more serious note it would've been awesome had this been the topic while I was recipetizing(I don't think that's a real word but, meh). I also think I suck at jokes becuase, the above paragraph is meant as a joke. Just re-reading it quickly it comes off as a rant... Yep, I suck at the joke thing....

Christian Bale in a new sci-fi action thriller "I Spy as Jesus!" Playing James, his Doctor friend develops a time machine. Through some action highjinks James accidently gets sent back in time accidently killing Jesus. In order to preserve the timeline James must go undercover as him. Things get dicey though when crucifixion time comes and, he might not make it to the end. Will he survive or, die find out in 3D!!!! Yes this synopisis gives away most of the movie but, hey so did the trailers for Avatar and, look at how much mone... uh I mean see our movie in 3D like Avatar!!!

How many other artists do we expect to work and provide us with entertainment at a loss of millions of their personal money?



Haim Saban
Definition - Man who became a billionaire off the selling of properties including Power Rangers. He has recently rebought Power Rangers for 100 million and, released a dvd exclusive at Comic Con. That dvd exclusive is said to be the original first episode before the recent Disney reversioninig. He's also going to produce a live action season 18 of Power Rangers while reairing the original episodes. This is all very risky finacially given Power Rangers isn't as beloved as Star Wars. Oh, yeah and, he also plans to release the series on DVD and, Blu-ray. Presumably the original versions. Plus, there's plans in the works for a possible new Power Rangers movie.


 


But he obviously is trying to recoup the investment.

If Saban DIDN'T buy Power Rangers back because he didn't think the property would be profitable enough, would we fault him for that? Would that somehow prove he's greedy and doesn't care.


No, I wouldn't anyway. The reason he sold Power Rangers in the first place was because he was close to bankruptcy. WB and, Disney showed him a "get out of bankruptcy" card and, he choose the one with more numbers. Star Wars is a tottally different matter entirely. Lucas has had lots of money from it for a long, long time. It's not like buying an uncertain property that was loosing ratings under a different owner. Star Wars has been proven time and, again to turn profit. I think Ziz is right about the control thing.

Anyways, your question didn't discount a profit. Just that a person spend millions of thier money to produce entertainment. I mentioned an example of one such person whom insofar has spent millions of his money to aquire rights to produce entertainment. Sure you mentioned loss but, of course there's gonna be initial loss. That's just a given.

I think Ziz is spot on with the control thing. I mean Power Rangers is a prime example of that. Head hits aren't allowed for the most part. They didn't allow the love interests to kiss. Silly stuff like that from network control. Hell, the show Crusade was delibrately messed with from the network. From costume changes, to asking that the alien character act less alien. Who knows mabye the network people were just like "YES finally I can get my Star Wars idea into Star Wars!!! This is great!" and, Lucas wasn't having it. Given that Lucas already has the bad press of wanting absolute control. Making a story up about budget is a good way to save face. Of course this is just a guess but, it makes sense.


Besides, all that I didn't call Lucas greedy for this. I'm not even sure if I personally ever called him greedy. I don't know I'de have to go over my post history.

*does a search*

Well I did call him a bad director once but, not greedy. Hell, I don't even care if he is. I don't care if he gets his show made or, not. I just wanted to point out that there is a billionaire out there that is risking millions of his own money to produce entertainment. That fits your question.

YouTube/Vimeo/etc... Star Wars video finds
Time

^ Well don't you know that within an hour of a Borg cube reaching the Death Star stationing itself on the other side away from the laser, It'd assimilate the entire structure? This estamate is conclusively determined via observation of the Star Trek episode Regeneration. Wherein the flagship Enterprise gets assimilated by Borg Technology. It only takes about a minute to assimilate the structure. Given an estamate that the CGI Enterprise is 10 football fields in area. We can conclude that ¼ of the Death Star should be assimilated within the first half-hour. Given the exponential rate of growth for Borg nano-tech. It stands to reason that the next sections should be overtaken within a ½ time as the preceeding section. Therefore 15 minutes later from previous ¼ takeover the Death Star should be ½ borg sphere. Consequently, 7.5 minutes later it should be a Borg Sphere.


(Seriously though, I'm just sleep deprived and, just making all this up. I'm likely completely wrong. I'de be suprised if I'm right.)

I guess this explains why Lucasfilm forcibly shut down the site of the fan who created essentially the exact same thing a couple years back.

After reading this I couldn't resist making this crawl.

Episode Special Editions

In case it gets pulled by the site here's what I typed.
Spoiler:



Episode special editions
Screwing With The Fans

Forever being re-done. The Star Wars Trlogy will never be the same as it was before. No longer just thought of as a trilogy of greatness.

A saga of COMPUTER GENERATION villifying the memories of what went before.

For could Jar-Jar never exist the saga may have been victorious! Alas our only hope is Doc Brown and, his DELOREAN TIME MACHINE. So hop on in, fasten your seatbelts, ramp up to 88. Where we're going we don't need roads....


Mabye I shouldn't have done this but, I haven't slept in two days... Well okay that's not true I got like twenty minutes but, some damn thing making noise outside woke me up so it doesn't count!!!

Sooo, I guess it's cancelled then. I mean the actors contracts expire this month. So, if the only news is that they're pushing back the air date on the remaining episodes. I guess it's cancelled then. *shrug* Oh, well onto the next spin-off about Young Adama and, the first Cylon war.
