Star Wars Thread - Star Wars - Rogue One - Trailer out 4-7-16

I wonder if Cushing's estate gets any cash out of this movie?? Interesting...

 

Well that's good. I'd hate to see Bogart doing a remake of Gone with the Wind...

 

I was thinking they had to, and from the article...

 

Saw the movie and all I can say is...

Son of a bitch...

 

reads similar to copyright law.

I take it you liked the flick?

 

I confuse the hell out of my 8 yo son by refusing to call it anything but Star Wars. I also call it the first film, not the fourth. He can't understand which film I'm talking about.

My understanding was that it became subtitled A New Hope when Lucas released the 'new' Gold edition box set of the original three films with all the CGI add-ons included prior to the release of the other movies. For those who haven't seen the unadulterated versions of the original movies I feel sorry for you. The new effects added nothing and took something away.

 

I have the harmy despecialized versions...literally the only way to watch original star wars movies without that cgi nonsense

 

Is there a YouTube video or something where I can see the differences? I'm pretty sure I've only seen the cgi ones.

 

I used to own the VHS tapes of the original 3 movies but they've vanished over the years...

 

I still have them, just no way to play them.
Like my 200 + vinyl records.

 

I might have an old VHS/DVD combo player down in my basement.

 

With this digital age, I cannot imagine how shitty the picture would probably look.

I was just talking to someone about the old days of TV with an antennae trying to minimize and get the least amount of white fuzz and static on the screen as possible.

 

Agreed. Anyone that hasn't seen the original film version of Star Wars would be advised to just skip it. If you've ever played analog video on your HDTV, you know how really bad the picture looks. I'm not even sure those originals were in 16:9 format.

Oh, and you're bringing back memories of actually touching my TV.

 

Well, I saw it in the theater when I was 3 years old.....
I guess that was Dad's way to babysit the first child

 

Yea.

I just didn't expect it to end that way.

 

I don't think anyone did.. Wifey and I were like... WTF

 

Just watch this and you will see a difference. A group of nerds dedicated their lives to bringing this back to the original

 

Really enjoyed Rogue One. I was going in fearing it'd be a disaster like 7, and was really pleasantly surprised. It felt a bit like Return of the Jedi meets Guardians of the Galaxy, if that makes sense. Even without much character development, they managed to establish the characters, which was something I struggled with in something like Fantastic Beasts a few weeks earlier.

After watching that, my order is:

V
VI
Rogue One
IV
III
II
I
VII

 

As a overall film, I found it better then Jedi even though the Emperor, Luke, Vader scenes in Jedi along with the Han rescue are like my favorite scenes in star wars.
