Not a rewatch. It was a first watch. IAnd I thought it was better than season 1.

2025-02-06 17:16:33 +0000 UTCGreat discussion as always! I don’t have a way to watch 4K at home but I agree with Jason on the Special Edition. It just doesn’t look right today. I loved getting to see Star Wars back on the big screen in 1997 and the clean print is amazing but I have grown to not like most of the changes.

2025-02-01 20:10:07 +0000 UTCI have to disagree with Jason. While I will always love Star Wars more than Lord of the Rings, even I can admit the story/character arcs in those timeless perfections of literature will always stand out over Luke Skywalker. Frodo’s reluctant hero arc alone is more compelling from a story aspect. As I said though, I will always love Star Wars more.

2025-01-23 12:48:54 +0000 UTCI certainly don’t. When I originally saw them in theaters I remember sitting there asking “why?”

2025-01-20 07:13:11 +0000 UTCBinged Visions season two today and yeah…. I liked it a lot. Would love a RFR show dedicated to a conversation about it. Bad batch was my favorite part of Star Wars 2024. The bandits of Golak episode definitely reminds me of that animation style, similar at least. And it felt very Star Wars

2025-01-20 02:26:19 +0000 UTCI hope they do. Why not? Other platforms offer theatrical and special addition/ extended addition versions of other movies like LOTR. More content is something D+ is lacking. They hardly ever put new movies and stuff on and the time between series drops is a huge wait

2025-01-20 00:18:03 +0000 UTCWhen I was a kid it was my least favorite of the three because the good guys lost. As I got older, I really fell in love with it.

2025-01-20 00:15:05 +0000 UTCI doubt he is “preventing” but out of respect Disney is t offering the original. I envision Disney releasing an original cut with cleaned up video / audio after George has passed.

2025-01-20 00:14:10 +0000 UTCI can never forget getting ushered into the seats when John Williams score erupted I looked up and...star wars!!!! For empire, I knew that was happening...so my real star wars love is new hope. But empire....is close behind.

2025-01-19 17:52:26 +0000 UTCYou are so right and that moment, "we are going in full throttle, that should keep those tie fighters off our tail" still brings chills every time... the way they twisted in the air... mind blown.

2025-01-19 17:51:35 +0000 UTCJust like Jimmy, I remember being amazed when first seeing the X-wings open up, and my 11-year-old self also wasn't pleased when I saw the Han and Leia romance on the Empire poster (I figured that this was something to cater to my parents). It's so interesting how many of us big Star Wars fans shared similar perceptions. I loved the Angus MacInnes tribute; maybe I missed this mentioned on the show but another cool fact is that he also voiced Gold Leader in Rogue One.

2025-01-19 17:11:44 +0000 UTCI prefer the unedited ep 4 for sure. That is pure magic and George got it right the first time. I wore out my vhs copy as a kid and then when the dvd age came along I honestly just didn’t like it as much
Luke
2025-01-19 02:13:32 +0000 UTCI like watching my VHS of an ‘81 TV airing best. It’s the version I grew up with and the one I’ve seen the most 😄
Marco
2025-01-18 23:17:47 +0000 UTCIs Lucas preventing the original theatrical versions being released on 4k? I’m sure they would sell plenty if they ever did
Marco
2025-01-18 23:15:42 +0000 UTCNo, I do not prefer them, especially for A New Hope. I think some of the changes and additions were very unnecessary and cheapen the movie. The Empire changes are fine. Removing Lapti Nek and the Ewok Celebration songs from Jedi really sucks.
Turtle Wars
2025-01-18 23:11:38 +0000 UTCIf they could remove all the Jabba-related changes (his appearance in IV, the added entertainment number with that goofy jazz alien in VI, and the Sarlaac's beak), then yes, everything else is an improvement, or fine. Oh, and take out Greedo shooting first, BUT KEEP MAKLUNKEY!!

2025-01-18 22:40:49 +0000 UTCIn regards to Jason’s take on rewatching the 6 film saga. The 4K STAR WARS shows how “cheap” it is. Meaning George didn’t have the budget for a better stock of film like he did for Empire and Jedi.

2025-01-18 13:03:37 +0000 UTCHappy New Year everyone 🤣 Chut chut regulars. Any other 70s born kids struggle with Empire? The high I got with Star Wars and the utter sucker punch I felt at the end of Empire left me hollow. I just couldn't believe the film ended. For me even today I still struggle with it because of that original cinema watch. I love New Hope and Rogue One in that order... unbeatable.

2025-01-18 07:21:02 +0000 UTCLong have I waited. Welcome back, Flagship!
