Johnson's movie may have worked without the Star Wars label, but you can't just try to reinvent everything 40 years after the fact right in the middle of a planned 3 part story. Instead we were left with him tearing up everything Abrams started and then Abrams picked right back up as if that never happened. Me personally, I had no issue with the repetitive nature of that first movie. It was fun. They just dropped the ball big time following that up. I liked Force Awakens, will stop and watch it if I see it while changing channels. The other two, I don't think I've watched again since they first came out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWCE 2023: Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Will Be Back in Theaters for 40th Anniversary Celebration | StarWars.com Article didn't seem to say, but anyone else know if this will be the special edition version from the 90s hitting the theaters? I assume it probably will be as the originals seem to have been erased from existence. Though if somehow it was the original 1983 cut I would definitely go see it. I didn't hate the changes to Empire but the other two were tough to stomach. That new CGI song and dance number in Jabba's palace and the new ending instead of the Ewok song.... 🤢🤮🤬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sacrifice made by random what's-her-name purple-haired commander would've been the perfect ending for Leia. They seemed to lean into the strength of the female characters and had one of the strongest female characters in sci fi history on tap, yet chose some unknown new character for the big sacrifice...it had no weight. I would have given Ackbar that sacrifice. But yeah, it needed to be someone established, not a brand new character who had maybe 15 minutes of screen time. 5 hours ago, Metal Man said: Article didn't seem to say, but anyone else know if this will be the special edition version from the 90s hitting the theaters?

Just Jack Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 My local science museum is going to show The Force Awakens next month, adults only because there will be a cash bar available. Any events in your areas on May 4th? NightLab: Star Wars – Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology (most.org) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Not technically a show, but a clip showing Mark Hamill Himself explaining the Force to the actor doing the motion capture stuff for the Jedi: Survivor video game. “You’re not playin’ baseball!” 😄😆 So great to see MH involved in SW in doing the Mandalorian cameos, etc. after he had vocalized frustrations with how Luke was used in the sequels. I think at one point it was being reported that he was ‘done with SW.’ Here’s hoping the new people in charge — Dave Filoni has complete creative control as of ~ last year — continue to include him and use Luke wisely. Seeing him in the announced post-sequel ‘Rey rebuilds the order’ movie would be fantastic to give him better plot & writing to work with, if only as a Force ghost.

It's fun seeing him and Mark Hamill together since they've got this and the Joker in common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
