The Original Trilogy General Discussion Thread.

I'd love to get the original theatrical versions on shiny glorious Blu-ray in the near future, I'm hoping the possibility of this new purchase can make that possible. I wonder if Fox owns home video distribution rights though.

 

Fox has the distribution rights until 2020. Either way, your main question shouldn't be "Would Disney/Fox to it?" but rather "Would Kennedy do it?".

 

2020?! I have faith they/she will give them to us eventually.

 

I can see Fox exploiting this opportunity. We will see the original cuts, remastered within a few years. I bet on it.

 

And I'll be buying them ALL.

 

Yup

If they manage to do what Coppola did with his Godfather Restoration with the original theatrical cuts of Star Wars, I might just forgive the prequels.

 

They will. And you will.

 

It's Kathleen Kennedy's decision on whether or not they would release it, and considering she was the co-ceo for years under Lucas, she might hold off for a while due to social politics - unless Alan Horn says "Let's do it".

Personally, I highly doubt Horn would allow it to be done now anyways. If they do it before 2020, they'll only get the profit Lucasfilm would have received, but if they wait until distribution rights end up back in their hands, they'll get 100% of the profit.

 

Wow, very cool to finally have a Star Wars section.

 

Yes! I want to watch Han shoot first in inglorious BluRay dammit!

 

It is required to be seen by my pupils before I die!

 

So who shot C3PO at Cloud City in 'Empire'. If it was a Stormtrooper, why did he sound like Frank Oz?

 

Seems like most wasted their money on the complete saga blu-ray withoutout having to

 

Because he was voiced by him?

 

Still one of the best things I've ever bought.

 

Wait a minute. So in ANH and ROJ, they sound like normal dudes, but in Empire Stormtroopers sound like muppets? Because Empire is the only Star Wars OT film where they were all mutes.

 

Remember, they're not clones anymore. That was one random dude.

 

So that one Stormtrooper sounded like a muppet? I suppose. He probably was made fun of by his peers. Poor guy.

 

I think they shot him after he shot 3PO. Just for s**ts and giggles.

 

Poor Muppet Stormtrooper.

 

He's REALLY unlucky, what with their marksman skills and all.

 

To bad about that stormtrooper.
