Hyperspace banishing it's paying members???

im gonna get it on high quality piriot for £5 when its around in june 2005 sometime and ill watch it about 673284 times just paying £5 altogether. WHOS WITH ME!!

Well actually thats what me and a couple of mates have done for the last 2 films! We downloaded and burned to DVD the film well before release, but didn't watch it till we'd already been to see the film at the cinema. Thus meaning we could watch it again soon as we got back LOL.

It really seem's to me at times like Lucas is going out of his way to piss off the fans. (Maybe he think's if we get pissed off enough people wil stop asking him about ep's 7-9 😂 ). I never agreed with the whole idea of hyperspace, yes I understand about it being good sound business sense etc, but it just seems like what people are getting for their money simply isn't worth it.
The problem seems to be Lucas's paranioa about releasing any footage or source material that could make anyone else any money in any way. Least once we have ROTS we dont have to worry about it any more 😄

Wayne...

I dont care who gets the money, cause at the end of the day we are the fans who time after time spend loads of money to buy inferior products. I buy just about every PS2 Star Wars game that comes out and they are all rubbish. They are only playable because I love anything to do with Star Wars. If HS want to close members accounts than so be it. Were all gonna buy EP3 merchandise regardless. HS should have been free from day one. How much money does LFL need!

All of it probably.............Maybe lucas want's to buy a country 😂

Wayne...

Well all I know is that Lucas is taking advantage of his popularity, Yet now more people are disliking him. 😠

The money dones't go to lucas it goes to the website staff and the mazine staff. Lucas has nothing to with the website so you can,t blame him.

sorry dont know how to do quotes--anyway, everything and i mean EVERYTHING that has Star Wars, or THX, or LFL on it....GL gets paid for it. thats the good part of being the owner/creator---you get royalty checks from everything. Now granted the staff gets paid...BUT WHO WRITES THE CHECKS!?!?! the greedy bastard we call Lucas.

Lucas is no bastard. He is a genius without Lucas we would not films
we see today. Famous directors like peter Jackson have been influenced
by lucas.

[edit]

It's like there's a good lucas and a bad lucas. The good one gave us the star wars universe and continues to enspire future generations. The bad one gave us:

Jar Jar Binks
Hyperspace
Greedo shooting 1st

I still have repect for him as a creative person but not as a businessman. (although one can't fault his methods on the money making side, his accountats must be happy!)

Wayne...

I do agree with you everyone repects as creative person. There only one lucas who changed the filmworld.

Hey how are you doing Morridini,does your head still hurt?

I just don't choose to pay and that's that.

Lucas just runs a business. Business make money. That's the way it is.

Like it or loathe it, you agree to certain things when you sign up to Hyperspace, and if you break them you can lose your account. If you do not like these conditions, do not join!

Fact is, this is just basic economics in action. Hyperspace is there because people will pay for it; if people will pay for it, it is valid. If they won't pay for it, then Hyperspace would not be there.

I haven't, because I am sure it would be a waste of money for me, but plenty have, and you did so at your own risk. It's just business...

yeah your spot on Ush. It's rather clever when you think about it. They knew that some of the most fanatical of fans are star wars fans, basically they will buy anything that has a star wars logo on it. Ok thats not exactly true but alot of people will.
I never joined hyperspace because I had a sneaking suspicion that it would leak anyway.

Wayne...

Fair play to Lucasfilm for coming up with the idea. It was a great piece of business, they knew there would always be a portion of die hard fans willing to pay ridiculous amounts to see some dodgy set photos and web docs. Hyperspace is a total waste on money and i would never pay for what they offer. However thanks for those who did sign up as they have passed on pictures,web docs and trailers for the rest of us to enjoy!
