I must admit, i have never seen that version of ROTJ nor do i intend to. It sounds terrible.
But i'm not a fan of the original film anyway.
You can find them as 4K77/4K80/4K83.
Gary Kurtz seems to get a lot of fan's frustrations with ROTJ and the Special Editions. He's right about the attack on a second Death Star. However, I'm still happy got Slave Leia out of ROTJ.
It’s not as good as TESB, but I’d argue it’s on par with ANH.
Seriously? It's infantile, has too many muppets, a crap story, an armed to the teeth Empire garrison defeated by 3ft teddy bears, C3P0 dancing and did i mention those bloody Ewoks...
Well…aside from that 😉
:))
Ewok=Woke........... :))
George was ahead of his time........
He was where merchandising was concerned..! (Could i interest you in a cuddly Ewok toy..?)
When Goldfinger was released, was this the first time movie merchandising really took off big time ?
I’d say it was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) was one of the first movies to have merchandise released along with the movie.
Yeah probably the disney cartoons but not at the level of Bond and later Star Wars.
George (or he was advised by someone)probably saw the Bond merchandising and later when Jaws came out there were things like Jaws t-shirts that were selling like pizza's 🍕
I really.. disliked that part.
I watched the first 2 episodes of season 2 and the start of the 3rd Ep and switched it off forever.
Yes a very slow start......... Unlikeable characters, boring script.
They should have made a Luke Skywalker- Mark Hamill series which i'm sure most SW fans would love ?
Not in the first five episodes, not in my opinion. Sixth wasn't promising. 7, 8 and 9 I hear are better.
I have heard the earlier episodes are a bit of a slog in season 2. I watched season one which was good though also quite boring at times.
One of the big continuity flaws. Ditto for Obi-Wan, who can't seem to remember these droids. Either these men are forgetting things because of old age, or they choose not to recognise 3PO for some reason.
It was ATOC wasn’t it? Or at least 3PO was working on the farm. I always hated that story decision - it makes the universe feel smaller than it is.
As for Old Ben not remembering the droids. In the original film R2 claims to have been the property of Obi-Wan but of course Old Ben doesn’t actually remember that. I think the prequels do run with the conceit that Obi-Wan doesn't really give much thought about droids. He sees them as mere tools. It’s flimsy, but I could roll with it.
However, it IS weird that Uncle Owen also would have previously owned 3PO and not remember.
The timing involved is a major problem. There's only nineteen years between 3 and 4, but nineteen years ago is what, Tony Blair? In 4, nobody seems to remember anything, with the Clone Wars alluded to once and the entire galaxy ran by the empire.
It feels as though it's been in situ for about fifty not nineteen years
To defend GL, C-3PO had his mind wiped, and Uncle Owen died only a day later. He might not have had time to think about it. Also, there seem to be a lot of droids like 3PO's style. Plus, 3PO had a color change since Owen saw him last.
To be fair that’s not really a mistake on the prequels, that’s all on the original film having set that up with Alec Guinness’ Obi-Wan laying out the events. The rise of the Empire and the hunting of the Jedi by Vader were supposed to occur within Luke’s own lifetime. So 19 years really is about as far as you could try to stretch it, and Lucas went as far as to have Luke born just after Anakin’s fall.
