Bilbo 3,709 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Its the 2011 cuts of the OT in 4k. Maybe theatre release of Star Wars unaltered but not home video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I think it's telling that Disney of all companies has not attempted legal action against these very popular "fan cuts" of the original trilogy in their almost 5 years of owning Star Wars. I guess they're ok with the status quo. Unless there's a lawsuit I'm not aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I'm assuming the TLJ trailer will be saved for the TLJ panel, and any Han Solo or new anthology announcements will be saved for the Future Films panel, I'm going with the assumption that we'll see an announcement of 1) unaltered edition Blu-rays, 2) 3D Blu-rays of the OT/PT, or 3) 4K ultra HD releases of the original 6. I'm guessing that, of those at least, the last two, particularly the third, are most likely. I don't think Pablo Hidalgo would have risked his credibility by denying the unaltered release that if that news was true. Could be wrong, though. Strikes me as a little like the Plagueis thing, where every time someone asked him they'd take his denial as evidence that Snoke was Plagueis and he was hiding it. And then someone else would ask him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt their existence has any impact on sales and I would guess downloads were only a fraction of a fraction of what official releases sell. Saying that, if they did plan on releasing those versions you bet they'd have sent a cease and desist to all of those fan sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 TV manufacturers have stopped releasing new 3D TV's. The focus is now on pushing 4K and that curved screen bullshit. 3D home cinema is all but dead on the hardware end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,647 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Disney was already getting their Star Wars money - I've seen who shops in the Star Wars aisle at Target. I'm happy to see a new line that isn't just "realistic Hasbro action figures in a different size/pose" though. The cartoon promises to bring together characters who haven't previously interacted, though, which is exciting to me. And Jyn could easily run across a Hera/Sabine/Ashoka in her earlier days - or even a Leia if they focus on her days with Saw Gerrera in the Alliance. One such mention in the press release is a post-ROTJ Leia/Hera/Han story. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,647 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Panel hosted by Wicket W. Warwick Davis. Dave Filoni came out to talk to Warwick and Lucas about Star Wars on TV. Apparently the prequels were represented by video greetings from Liam Neeson and Samuel L. Jackson, and then Hayden Christensen showed up onstage. Moved on to the OT, so Billy Dee, Peter Chewie Mayhew, Anthony Daniels, and Mark Hamill are all sitting in now. Apparently nothing newsworthy at this point, just general reminiscence and chitchat. There's still empty room on the couch. Smart money's on Harrison showing up. Yeah, Ford is there Hate how replies are merged here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
