Abrams has been commissioned to remaster and reconstruct the original Star Wars™ trilogy (Star Wars™: Star Wars™, Star Wars™: The Empire Strikes Back™, Star Wars™: Return of the Jedi™) in brand-new editions exclusive to Disney+™, finally integrating the Original Trilogy™ with the beloved Star Wars™ Sequel Trilogy™. Reuniting with screenwriter Chris Terrio (Zack Snyder's Justice League), the pair wrote new dialogue to bridge the old with the new. "I said to Chris, 'man, this trilogy does a terrible job establishing context for Rise of Skywalker,'" recalls Abrams. "No mention of Palpatine's children, no hints about grandchildren... so many missed opportunities. Why shouldn't Rey's Song appear when the Emperor confronts Luke? We need to fix this!" Abrams credits inspiration for the project to veteran Star Wars composer John Williams. "I remember John saying to me, 'JJ Baby, after what you've put me through, I wouldn't be surprised if you asked me to write new music for Empire next.' That was the light-bulb moment." The acclaimed sound team from The Rise of Skywalker™ also return to remaster the iconic soundtracks, assembling immersive new Dolby Atmos mixes. "It never made sense that all the musical themes didn't exist in all of the films," muses Abrams. "Finally we can fix those mistakes." Disney+ subscribers can also enjoy isolated scores, further highlighting Abrams' new vision. "This will introduce a whole new generation to John's music. I'm even talking with Disney Records about releasing the new isolated scores on CD. Everyone's excited!" While Williams could not be contacted for comment, he would undoubtedly approve. Abrams shares Williams' theoretical excitement. "At last, fans will appreciate my vision for the Skywalker Saga." EXCLUSIVE: First clip from Abrams' newly remastered edition of Star Wars™: Return of the Jedi™: Molly Weasley, Fabulin, The Illustrious Jerry and 22 others 2 2 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Datameister 2,044 Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 The world's nations really should come together and decide on 24 hours during which the entire globe will simultaneously partake in this holiday. I've still got 90 minutes till it arrives here. I therefore take this thread at face value. crumbs, Jurassic Shark and bruce marshall 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I actually welcome a " reimagining" of JEDI. First, dump the Death Star. We just saw this plot ( and will see it again!😵). Second, have the search and rescue mission for Solo take up the entire film. Having it at the start removed all suspense. Moreover, Ford obviously had no interest in being there; give him his wish. Scrap the " forest planet" which is about as exotic as a Hollywood backlot. Get cracking, J.J.!😁 15 minutes ago, Datameister said: The world's nations really should come together and decide on 24 hours during which the entire globe will simultaneously partake in this holiday.

Yes, and the party scene in Jabba's pallace could be generously be extended with singing and celebration parts from the holiday special. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Another thing to change about JEDI; The idiot plot device of having the power source located on a distant planet AND neglecting to have a backup on the Death Star. (And they repeated this idiocy in later films.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
