mondo sells a ton of vintage star wars posters but they sell out within mins of going up and are limited editions, i thought about buying one but realized i'm not 19 living in a dorm anymore :(

this site isn't too accurate with its leaks but maybe Rey can go shit all over Luke and Leia a little more

TV show could happen. though i think JJ is too busy right now turning Superman into Shaft.

I'm usually pretty on top of SW news and i haven't heard one peep about this, and would be pretty shocked if it happened. i don't think most people involved in the sequel trilogy left having had a very great experience they would want to repeat. Although money talks i suppose.

Also Spielberg was tapped to convince JJ to get involved again after he balked at returning for RoS.

That relationship no longer exists.

I doubt Disney created enough goodwill during the production of RoS to interest JJ again all on his own. His team released a bunch of gripes on reddit after RoS came out-- a lot of things sounded unforgivable. JJ himself citing it as the most studio-meddled movie he has ever worked on in history. That doesn't say "sign me up" to me.

This was made on film? It looks like video.

George shot it with a shoulder-loader VHS and then transferred it to film by standing in front of a TV in his living room with a camera screen recording a 24 inch color television at the Ranch. It's a little shakey but the screen recording is in 4k.

yeah, so basic kinescope recording (think moon landing, our original FILM footage has been lost to time. they claim.) and at best you get a 360-480 p resolution. you can not upscale 360 to look like 4k resolution

That's really pissing on Lucas grave, he disowned it and was ashamed of it. Guess this is what $4bn to buy the franchise only to ruin it gets you - re releasing the holiday special to kill Star Wars even further

Like who actually wants this? How many new fans will this create?

The same amount the last 3 movies did.

The folks who did the De-Specialised editions should have gotten an Oscar!

My brain tells me this is a lie, but apparently my penis believes. Was this actually released in 2021?

Do they have the vintage commercials still? That's become an important part of my Christmas Eve tradition. It would be cool to see a different set of commercials.

Jesus H. Christ this is so good. Where the hell can I get a hold of the De-Specialised versions?

Also, who plays Anakin's Force Ghost in this? Hyden Christiansen or Sebastian Shaw? If it's the former then it would probably be the only fuckup they'd have done.
