A little something I just saw on Social Media.... :lol: CHEERS! :)

To be fair, I believe the plagarized information was true enough on the date of that article's emergence, as talks were widely reported to have stalled between Disney and Fox around that time. CHEERS! :)

Shouldn't the Disney/20th Century Fox merger cancel out Disney wanting to wait until 2020 for the rights to the sequels and prequels to shift over? Would the successful conclusion of the said merger not give Disney immediate effective ownership of the six pre Disney Star Wars titles? Edit...

You forgot the bit in which the Wizard yells "Nooooooooooooooooo!" upon Toto's unveiling of his ruse! ;)

While definitely not encouraging, top studio executives later doing an about face is hardly unheard of. I'd take Kathleen Kennedy's bombshell with a grain of salt. CHEERS! :)

Based on the latest installment not even being currently slated for 4K UHD release, I'd suspect it's rather unlikely. CHEERS! :)

Although we haven't viewed it in many years, I'm quite pleased just knowing that our E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL 2 DVD set (With the 1.33:1 Framing--UGH!) from 2002 also includes the original Theatrical version in its OAR! :) I also agree that the nature of HD presentations occasionally...

I might have seen this once a long time ago. That IS so hilarious, I still can't stop laughing! :) Thank you very much for sharing this, Sam! CHEERS! :)

Hi Travis! While I agree that your question is a good one, I'm also thinking that assuming a meeting between Mike Verta and Disney is happening, then I tend to assume somebody representing the latter is at the very least, open to hearing some input in regards to restoring the original unaltered...

I do get the feeling those who are and have done fan restorations will be in for a very rude awakening! CHEERS! :)

We also have something like that on Tuesdays, but I'm talking about what today's Theatre admissions normally cost! :P CHEERS! :)

The six bucks a ticket was a tad short though, eh? ;)

Hi Rick! Spot on, except I think that you meant "Attack Of The Clones" and "Revenge Of The Sith"! CHEERS! :) Tony

Hi Dave! Do these "Original" audio options exclude the post 1983 dialogue revisions, such as Darth Vader's "Noooooooo!" by chance? :biggrin: CHEERS! :) Tony

Oops, it appears I slightly misremembered that last bit for RETURN OF THE JEDI, in which Obi Wan and Yoda are indeed, present! Definitely bring back the old Anakin! :) CHEERS! :)

Hi Robert! The Anakin switcheroo was precisely what I had in mind, though in my opinion, the location celebrations were also unnecessary. I mean, geez, you don't even have to view the original to KNOW Anakin's presence is just plain wrong! That just sticks out like a bloody sore thumb! :P...

Hi Robert! I believe it's the modified ending of RETURN OF THE JEDI that's generally considered to be the greatest sacrilege committed in the entire revised first STAR WARS Trilogy (It's certainly the most painfully obvious!), and I'm inclined to agree! CHEERS! :) Tony

I think the question is, were they? :biggrin: CHEERS! :)

It's the late Roger Ebert's listed "Principle of Evil Marksmanship" at play, though I get what you're saying! :) Roger Ebert's Glossary of Movie Terms (Abridged): http://teachers.sduhsd.net/sfarris/Files/Fiction%20and%20Film/Ebert's%20Glossary%20of%20Movie%20TermsPDF.pdf CHEERS! :)

Hi Brian! At least even the 2 Disc 2002 DVD version included the original Theatrical cut in 1.85:1 Aspect, I believe. We still have that "Full Screen" monstrosity version, and for me, the inclusion of the original cut is of great comfort, these days! I honestly don't think it's too much to...

Hi Josh! Maybe not, but I think you have to concede that such changes, as the replacement of puppets with CGI effects, and the who shot who first bit, amount to significantly more than a few digitally brushed out wires! CHEERS! :) Tony
