Wojo 2,453 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Her parents don't have to be dead. She was abandoned on Tatooine II to grow up alone. That essentially orphaned her. At least Luke was raised by real family. His father didn't come back into his life until he was almost twenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 TNT and TBS are the only home on basic cable for all 11 films in the Star Wars saga. (11 films because they have rights to Episodes 1-9, Rogue One, and the Han Solo spinoff) When I was a kid they'd run on USA all the time! I remember once, they actual did a special Letterbox showing, and it was great! Around college or thereabouts, seemed like Spike TV picks up the rights and had them for years Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,651 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I was a bit surprised to hear that Freeform (nee ABC Family) didn't get this - partially because Disney is their parent company, and partially because that network seemed to enjoy huge success with marathoning the Harry Potter movies, so this seems right up the network's viewers' alleys.

Jay 37,346 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yes I too found it strange that Disney would sell rights to 7-9 and the spinoffs of Turner, instead of having them solely are on Disney owned channels like The Disney Channel (and associated channels), Freeform, and the A&E group of channels they co-own with Hearst. I guess this must have netted them more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBC Universal actually bought the TV/digital rights to Harry Potter last month, which will go into effect in 2018 The end of that article also did mention Disney had been shopping around the Star Wars rights at the end. Wonder what the strategy is with all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,651 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Disney isn't legally allowed to just sell it to themselves for a song - there has to be bidding, etc. The same thing was an issue with cable broadcast rights to The Simpsons. Turner, NBC, etc were all bidding - although in the end Fox was able to sell them to its own FX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,342 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Okay, so I finally saw the light, realised that Star Wars isn't all that bad and that the only mistake I made was watching the original trilogy first.

crumbs 14,306 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Pablo Hidalgo has poured cold water on the 4K remaster of Star Wars being the unaltered original cut. It's yet another George Lucas revision. ubi Got to wonder what the politics are on this. Did George retain final cut of the existing films when he sold Lucasfilm? Why did the 4K remaster take 5 years to be completed if Lucas supervised the scan in 2012? If nothing else, they must have done every 1997 visual effects shot from scratch (the low-resolution would be glaringly obvious against freshly scanned 4K non-effects shots), plus they must have re-scanned and re-composited all the original optical effects shots again, to remove the matte lines. If nothing else, it will still be a huge improvement over the awful 1080p 2004 restorations that Lowry did. Excessive noise reduction, over sharpened, static grain artifacts, ghost motion artifacts and an amateurish colour grade slapped on top.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 As far as I'm concerned, all the changes to the 2004 DVD versions are fine by me. With the sole exception of the lightsaber colours looking quite terrible. White and green for a blue saber? And pink for Darth Vader's saber? Seriously?!? Somewhat related, did the engines of the X-wings always glow pink as opposed to red? I always assumed that was another glaring colour error, but that seems to have become canon now as they're pink outside the films these days as well. And even though I never saw the original unaltered films, I've got to say I do prefer the idea of "Han shot first". So if they fix the colours properly and put that back in, that's the most important stuff covered in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
