It's now 2008.
The 30th Anniversary came and went - and nothing happened, really.

Not like the 20th Anniversary, when all three came back to theatres, remastered, and still did huge business. And the prequels finally started up filming.

I thought we were going to see all six films return to theatres - wasn't IMAX 3-D the plan?
I thought we would finally see the DVD box set of all six films released - didn't happen. I WANT to see the improved Yoda for TPM.

One large convention in May, and that's all? I can't believe it.

Yeah, I must agree...I thought there would be more, besides a Darth Vader stand-up at my local Athena, there was nothing really here.

An ultimate DVD box.. that's what should happen.

That is what should HAVE happened...2007 has come and gone.

I don't mind it if it comes out next month.

I think it was because Lucas was waiting for the debut of a new format, that would end the battle between HD-DVD & Blu-ray. That's when the sextet box would come out. But the format battle continues, and he chose to continue sitting on the fence rather than choose a format.

It's not like he hasn't released the films in multiple versions before and raked in millions - what's one more release?

It's actually helped me to sit on the sidelines, too. Whatever format STAR WARS gets released in, will be the one I buy into.

Me too. I think GL is right in a way about waiting for the winning format. I do the same and am very annoyed about these companies going head to head again. We finally had an international standard, and now they're at it again.

It will be a constant battle. But Blue-ray is quite expensive and I know nobody with a blue-ray player...but I am unsure of its popularity in other areas.

And I gues the theatrical rerelease hasn't happened because Lucas & Rick McCallum have failed to get the total overall of projectors - from film to digital - in the theatre chains thus far. It's still a future some years away.

The theatrical release IS there. It's on DVD. It's just not remastered and restored digitally.

Yeah, I wanna have that one too.

And there was the Making of Star Wars.

Yeah, I have been debating on that one...still burns holes in wallets...

The Making of was good...$10 off

And you definately closed that thread because you knew I was right.

No, because it was off topic.

And still right.

Yes, I was still right.

No, me.

"Me, me, meee... Look at me... "

You should rename yourself as General Chick Hicks.

Really? The Vault thing?

Indeed.

I noticed Amazon.co.uk had the same offer. Ordered it right away.

You wont regret it.

Especially for that money.

$40? Damn....well, at least we were able to buy it at Costco for $60.

Result!

Sheer and utter happiness.... it has been shipped...teeheee..

Hmm...tell me how it is, and I will decied on ordering it or not.

I will. Prolly in a week or so when it arrives.

OK, good, because it looks good.

It does indeed.

So nothing happend on that note i am moving to middle earth bye all sw fans

You're not coming back?

No internet in Middle Earth?

am staying at the Lotr fourms thats where my home is

Ah... do drop in once in a while. We love ya!

Yeah! You make such interesting threads that I would never have thought of!

Look who's talking.

What?

Look who's listening.

Ah it so is....

What's in it?

Oooh... I just it today and it's loaded with great goodies. Replica's of letters, production books, cd with audio interviews, pictures of comic books, merchandise, film cells what have. ya... it's pretty amazing. Even a duplicate of the simple typed piece of paper with an invitation to Alec Guinness's party.
It's a bloody time machine!

Indeed it is!

A veritable Tardis....only more SW flavoured.

*Resists urge to use the iron on T-shirt thang and definitely the stickers.*

*Contemplates buying 2nd copy so to use the stuff*

Yeah! The stickers...even replica's of genuine Revenge of The Jedi stickers used during production. It's totally amazing.

Yeah my guitar cases are begging me for their SW adhesive glory, but my pimphand is strong 'til 2nd bookage.

So I guess the question is, now you've got it in:
Do you feel it to be an adequate marker of the 30th...?

Personally I thought The Making of Star Wars was that already. This is great, I just miss the DVD box. I continued watching the 5-disc Balde Runner Final Cut Ultimate Mega superduper Definitive box set... and miss something similar with SW.
It is after all, all about the movies.

I am going to take that as a good review and order it soon

It's worth it.

Good, and it won't be $90 either.

Nope 20 quid is a real bargain.

I'll say.

My wife even said she understood why I got it, she felt it was even worth 60.

Does she like Star Wars?

I could've done without the second CD....not very interesting, really....

But Carrie Fisher singing = the best.

I think that for the 30th anniversary they showed all six episodes theatrically at the Star Wars convention in L.A.

She doesn't hate it... but isn't particularly fond of it. But my three sons all like SW, so she is seriously outnumbered.

LOL "They be back soon...and in greater numbers"

And yeah that Blade Runner Final Cut was excellent.

Superb. I watched the Final Cut, the Work Print, the 3-hour documentary and the 1,5 hour of featurettes.... Totally amazing!

I will assume cranking it is off limits still?

Assume away. hehehehe

Yes.

SW movie watching volumes are a serious thing.

I'm not happy 'til there is actual structural damage to my flat.
When Vader does the force choke or a Star Destroyer passes by, it causes low vibrational sound so loud it actually punches you in the head and steals your wallet.

Sly mofo, that Vader.

They also had that 'Legacy of Star wars revealed' on the history channel.

Which I thought it was really good, and hope to see it on a future dvd (most likely blu-ray) release

Hopefully. I never saw it.

Yep and you have to keep an eye on them Jawas too.

A few hours of
& quot;BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTIIIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIII......!!!!" on loop through a decent 5.1 system should sort anyone out for their fix.

Jawas are the worst of all.

I didn't mind them so much, they were odd yes, but didn't bug me.

As movie characters: wonderful, great. But to live near them...ermm.. no.

OK, that is true...they would be a bother to live with or by.

They're a bit like you.

ooooh, now your getting personal.

YES!!!

NO!!!! BAD!!!

YESS!!! GOOD!!!

GRRRR!!!

GROWL.... let your hate flow and soon your journey to the Dark Side is complete.

My journey was done long ago!

You failed even at being a Sith????

No way, I am sneaky like Sidious, nobody knows of my Sith status, not even you, see how well it worked.

You just revealed yourself... in rather a dumb way. Guess you're a wanna-be Sith.

Oh no, it wasn't a dumb way, you are still the only one that knows.

Oh yes and this is a private board... *shakes head*

Ummmm...do you see anybody else in this thread?!

They're all watching but because you're such a big and scary Sith no one dares to post.

Excellent...then my job is being done.

Yyyyyeah/...

I still see noone else.

After an unnecessary "Special" Edition and a horrible prequel trilogy, I think they've done enough embarassment to the original 3 (and only good) films in the saga.

And then the Star Wars tv show is gonna come out, which I really oppose. Not only do I not like it when movies I like become tv series, Star Wars itself has a had a lot of bad spin-offs, like the prequels.

Prequels as spin-offs.... good one.

I dread the series too, I will watch it though, but it reminds me of Star Trek.

Way too many PT haters in here...

I hate them too

You hate the PT?

yes

ooooh, ouch, and why is this?

no vader and no luke and his gang

Lies, Vader is there...for a bit...and it is a good thing Luke is only there as a baby, he whined about the same amount anyways though.

Well its the abscence of SW-ey soul in the 1st two that did it.

That made baby Luke cry.

Yes...I will admit that the first two were...lets say...not up to par...but I still won't shun them.

It does not matter how much good stuff you say about the PT the OT is far better

It is. If the PT only really has one good movie to offer, it's pretty poor. Imagine just one movie where only the last 20 minutes are good.... you may never get there.

The OT is much better...but I am not going to moan and complain about the PT either...they both had their flaws (ROTJ can house a few)...even if the PT's are more prominent.

THen what else should we do here?

Your the mod, you figure it out

Well, THAT: complain about the PT.

ooooh, no, I don't think so, that's not very fun.

Yes it is.

What else then? What do you suggest?

Only for a select few.

We could...ummm...hmmm...I'm drawing a blank. Don't say a word.

What else is new?

What did I just say?

Dunno, I never listen to you.

Well then...that explains all the "indeeds"

Indeed.

You totally suck.

And that's insulting a mod.

Maybe it is. Maybe I like to live on the wild side.

Hence all the wild animals in sig and ava.

Yes, but they have more meaning than simply living on the wild side.

As in, very little wild side for them?

They live quite the wild life...avoiding humans constantly.

They better

Meaning?

So humans won't kill them.

I think i'll snog leia

How?

Where can they go though? We cut down their habitats...they are running out of places to hide.

I know... it's sad.

It is...it is very sad...

Yup. So are you in some kind of protection committee?

I have donated to various causes.

As well as done random wildlife presentation with zoos to different places like camps, libraries, schools, etc.

Hay queeq did you know Genrel G is a sith and is planing to kill all the mods to rule the KMC galaxcy ?

Well, he thinks he is a sith and he plans an awful lot. He's just not very good at it.

ohh lolz

borring zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wake up and make a joke.

Just wait for the 50th Anniversary comes then we all will be partying.

GL will do something before that...it means more money.

In wheelchairs?

What's a party without wheelchairs?

Good point.

Exactly

I better start organising then. By taht time I'd have completely forgotten it all.

Just always remember the chips and salsa.

I'll write it down. If my eyes still work at that time I'm sure I can read it.

If not, pictographs, things don't change enough for you to forget what something looks like.

Maybe I'll ask the hot nurse to remind me... in her own special way.
