Also, for those who haven't seen this, it's kinda cool (albeit yes, I acknowledge there's some corniness)- Fuck your laserdisc rips, that's early 2000's desperation. Despecialized edition for the fuckin win. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popcorn's snare 3,994 Report post Posted November 22 Despecialized? I will admit my knowledge of such things has fallen by the wayside. However, as a side note (not a pissing contest, i swear) the laserdisc rips had extra featurettes that were never re-released. But I'll have to check out this despecialized thing. I'll just say it. The Mandalorian's first two episodes are better than the Jar Jar Abrams and Ruin Johnson first two movies of the new trilogy. There, I said it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, the amount of work that these nerds have put into it is astonishing. They ripped Blu-ray audio, took out crap that wasn't supposed to be there. They've gone so far as to track down actual film prints of the movie and scan them for HD, unfucked with scenes, just as the theater showed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Strangelove 5,163 Report post Posted November 22 The Star Wars 4K77 and Return of the Jedi 4K83 masters (you can get versions with or without DNR) done by the same people as Harmy's (I believe) are also really good.

EstrangedTWAT 4,562 Report post Posted November 22 Cause those were soulless, lifeless, sterile "products" that were rushed into production with no script or planning by a marketing group that only gave a fuck about identity politics and nothing else. This was a story that's seemingly crafted by people that care about and respect the property, who took their time with it, and wanted to make the best series possible. Big difference when you get people who actually give a shit behind the camera as opposed to greedy corporate cocksuckers that only care about selling pajamas and sandals and bookbags in the Wal Mart kids' department.

Faxl Rows 192 Report post Posted November 22 Only even mildly interested because of Ian McDiarmid's involvement, however there's the extreme likelihood of them fucking up the character altogether. This may sound naive in the extreme, but if I was Bob Iger I'd have strained every goddamn sinew to make the sequels as good as possible on the basis that surely great movies = more positivity = more fans = more moolah for longer. Or (if they hadn't made the EU novels non-canon) just make a film out of every goddamn EU novel. Star Wars Cinematic Universe. Stories ready-made for adaptation. But no.

popcorn's snare 3,994 Report post Posted November 24 The Rose character would've been fine if she wasn't so pointless, and instead actually was integral to helping the good guys. Like, she's the only one who can reprogram the something er ather. I dunno. Anything. It coulda been a pilot got killed and she has to drive the ship despite being a maintenance tech or something. Or she has to hack R2 and 3PO to hide data or retrieve data. But instead... she's just there... and she has some sort of crush on the black guy. Speaking of the black guy... it seemed like he was going to be way more important than he was. In the second film, he basically faded away from importance. I did feel bad for the actress. It's not her fault. She seems like a good human being. It was the writers' and Ruin Johnson's fault. She didn't deserve all the jerkoffs threatening her and talking shit on the internet.
