Re: The Future of Star Wars

Come on.
Not one single goddamn person knew about Disney buying Star Wars, but now suddenly people's "inside sources" are reliable? Don't do that to yourself. Don't give these hit-whoring assholes any more page views. If there's news, we'll know from the right sources when appropriate.

Also - as many people have pointed out in response to this rumor - Fox still has the distribution rights to the existing Star Wars films.  If Disney had somehow wrangled distribution back from Fox, that'd be the REAL surprise, not whatever version they're releasing.

Re: The Future of Star Wars

I have great bootleg editions (the Despecialised Editions for those interested) already, but despite this I suppose I would be tempted to buy official versions in a nice box. If it doesn't happen though, I won't be too disappointed.

Re: The Future of Star Wars

I think it may be a case of ALLOWING, not releasing. There were two things which Lucas, personally, wanted to never see the light of day again: the original cuts of the first movies, and the Holiday Special. So, what did we see released by Rifftrax within months, if not weeks, of Disney buying Lucasfilm? The video on demand version of their Star Wars Holiday Special riff. Now, Disney did not provide a good copy, as we're seeing the same taped from TV version the original mp3 version was synced to (and which they sort of illegally pointed you to when you bought it), but still. Disney let it come out.

So, what has to happen for us to get the original trilogy? Disney just has to say "yes" when FOX asks. That's it. They need do no work, spend no money. They give FOX whatever assets they need, perhaps, yes, negotiating a fee, and then step aside. Maybe Fox pays them to do the restoration, who knows.

Re: The Future of Star Wars

Weirdly, the first thing I thought about the new title (After the obvious reference to the capital-F Force), is what new force is now arising in the universe in the power vacuum of the Empire?

I'd be willing to bet there's a reference to the new Sith guy we've been seeing sneaks at in there.

I'm indifferent to the title as well. It's not bad, it's not good, it doesn't affect my anticipation of the film one way or the other. It's not pulpy enough, though. My Star Wars can always stand to be pulpier. Like my orange juice.

I feel like I'm ten again. I haven't been excited for anything like this in *years*. For whatever reason seeing Daniels get put into the suit is what gave me the chills in this one.
