Star Wars |OT3| Somehow, this thread returned
- Thread starter WadiumArcadium
- Start date
- OT
I would rather shit get delayed and fine tuned as much as it needs to be than rushed to meet a certain date. I get why these delay rumors elicit the same kind of "not this shit again" reaction from people. But imagine if TROS was delayed a year. People would've called for Kennedy's head, held it up as further proof that she was mismanaging the company and the brand, that she and JJ were flying blind and didn't know what they were doing, blah blah...and it would've almost certainly resulted in a better movie.
Totally agreed.. and hey.. they did not even reveal release dates for the delayed shows 🤷♂️
For as good as the game looks, I could not be repulsed more by the Star Card grinding. Makes it so hard to enjoy the game in a casual, play-occasionally sense.
In regards to the delays of the TV shows, bear in mind that if Mando is any indicator of the scope and quality they are shooting for in terms of production and FX, such an undertaking is no small thing and is the equivalent of shooting multiple films in succession.
They abandoned Lucas' 'vision' long ago (And for good reason) and honestly, people tend to overplay the Campbell influence, forgetting that Lucas took inspiration from a myriad of sources, not the least of which was Kurosawa, Flash Gordon, etc.
Both TLJ (which was commercially successful) and Solo (which was not) were most definitely attempting to branch out of the typical SW formula, as was Rogue One. Mando is also certainly a different take on the material and now that we are officially finished with the Skywalker arc outside of a few side projects, there's really no reason for them not to push the envelope moving forward, especially as they look to do films based on ancient back stories like the founding of the Jedi, the Sith, etc.
There is one episode in particular where they don't use it during an emotional ending and it just makes such a huge impact on that one moment, so I see what you mean.
A Swedish retailer put up pictures of the front and back covers of almost all the upcoming 4K releases of the Star Wars movies (The Rise of Skywalker excluded) so we now have an idea of what some of the special features are. TheDigitalBits has the details. It looks like the Saga films that haven't been released on 4K yet will get a handful of new featurettes. The score-only version of The Last Jedi is listed as being on the Blu-ray. The bonus disc for The Force Awakens will be the one from the 3D release as well.
I have TLJ on blu-ray but have occasionally considered trying to track down a 4K steelbook. If this comes here to Canada with the score-only version, that's an insta-buy for me since they took the score-only version off D+ here.
Wonderful News!
God I hope the 4K looks decent.
EDIT: Ah Shit, I now have a month to debate on if I should order that dumb $250 4K set or just buy this and call it good.

It's in that Swedish retailer listing from a few posts up. Hopefully it'll all be official soon.
How sad is it that I'll probably just wait for Disney + and not buy Rise on digital.
In things with the word rise in the title but are actually good news, I rode rise of resistance at Disneyland last weekend and it was absolutely incredible. If you have the means to make it to a Disney park, I could not recommend it more. So good.

I've been going back and forth on whether or not to save myself the money and wait as well. I've got that shelf though and my completionist brain still wants a copy even if I don't really like the movie.
Yeeessss. A little more than a month till I can have a physical copy.
Man. How can anyone watch that 1 minute clip and not think there's some cool as hell set pieces in this movie.
It's truly a shame that JJ doesn't really share Rian's passion for bonus features
Kurosawa yes, but Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers are somewhat overplayed. Lucas was relying on childhood memory for those. He didn't revisit them as an adult. Certainly a important influence though. The Campbell influence was important starting at the 2nd or so draft of Star Wars and onward through the other films. It was a big deal to Lucas, like a light going off. But Lucas was also showing films such as Silent Running, 2001, Forbidden Planet, Once Upon a Time in the West, and Fellini Satryicon to his crew during production:
Paul Duncan, writer of The Star Wars Archives, shares a lot of great details on his twitter if you can't afford that behemoth
Yup. Regardless of how I feel about TROS, I'd love a full documentary like Rian does for his movies.
Finally...I can't wait to watch it again. Also I should be doing my Super Star Wars playthrough around that time as well.

There's our official announcement (including 4k Rogue One)

The UHD saga boxset just doesn't seem worth it to me the PT are all upscaled from 2K and the OT are going to include all the changes Lucas has done over the years.
I think I'll just pick up TROS on UHD and then TFA when it eventually gets its own UHD release.
I'm a little bit surprised it isn't coming to D+ on the same day, I figured they would use it to try and get more subs especially with D+ launching in Europe around the same time.

It's kinda cool they are releasing all of the other films including rogue one on 4K.
I really want TFA on 4K that lightsaber fight in the snow would look so good.

The Hidden Fortress' influence on Star Wars is a little overstated. And that movie also kind of sucks...
No deleted scenes for TROS is so annoying. What could they possibly be holding out for at this point? I have to imagine this is a JJ thing because Lucasfilm had no qualms putting TLJ's deleted scenes out.

They're not even adding every episode of The Mandalorian straight away so they don't seem all that interested in working to attract subs.

The special feature I'm most interested in and it's a digital exclusive.
Looks like the physical release is the 20th April here.
Companies never release a film on home video and a streaming service at the same time because it would completely cannibalize the home video sales.
So would everyone else. Maybe JJ realize everything he made sucks and didn't want back lash from the idea that people were gonna hate the deleted scenes as well.
That makes literally zero sense lol. JJ is clearly proud of his films.
Maybe they're saving the deleted scenes for a re-release, since after TROS it will be a little while before they have another Star Wars film to release to home video

I'm sure they'll put TRoS out later with a cover to match the other 4k discs.
Smh the people making these decisions are absolute idiots. I was going to sign up for a year straight away but I might just hold off now.
I mean are they going to start showing the Clone Wars a month out of sync as well this is ridiculous.

I had presumed they would have the first five eps of Season 7 ready by the time it launched here to line up with the US library, but that seems unlikely now. I paid for a VPN on top of the Dutch Disney+ subscription to watch The Mandalorian but I was hoping I wouldn't have to do it again.
I'm sure hedoes but unless he ignored every single tweet/article with his name in it these last few months there no way he believes everyone loves TROS. He has to know the majority of viewers did not like it.
This is going to be worth every penny of that 250 price tag. Looks gorgeous:
I'm pretty happy that I pre-ordered it for 150 GBP before they raised it to 200 GBP
