Oh my god damn is Jar Jar annoying. I'm barely a 3rd of the way through season 1 of clone wars and i already wanna see him slaughtered.

 

Fortunately he isn’t in the show a ton, but he does pop up here and there. And nicely, when he does pop up he is treated like the moron he is by the other characters.

 

Rain Johnson deserves better.

 

Damn. That’s sad to see

 

Poggle the lesser is a great star wars name

 

Almost as great as Therm Scissorpunch

 

I had never seen this before and after suffering the past two nights needed it.

 

I haven’t seen it in a while. But yes, after seeing episode 1 and 2 this week... it feels good

 

parts of this article posted are in reference to JJ taking over from Trevorrow, not coming in after Rian

 

That quote may be out of context, but Boyega did make separate comments recently putting down TLJ.

John Boyega Says 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Was "A Bit Iffy", Laments Character Arcs in the New Trilogy

 

Anakin going full torturer in Poggle is great. Love getting more depth into his descent to the dark side.

 

The exchange between obi wan and grievous in the Grievous Intrigue episode is incredible

 

G: Your plans have come to ruination, Jedi.
O: I hear a lot of talking, General, but in the final accounting, what does all the talk get you? A futile quest for power, a mutilated body, and your place as Dooku's errand boy.
G: I'm no errand boy.I am not in this war for Dooku's politics. I am the leader of the most powerful droid army the galaxy has ever seen.
O: An army with no loyalty, no spirit, just programming. Whathave you to gain?
G: The future, a future where there are no Jedi.

 

The Clone Wars does have some great moments

 

20 more minutes in Sith. I can see the light.

 

I’m glad I decided on chronological order for my watch through. After Rogue One tomorrow night I will have the 5 best movies left. Gonna be so good to see them all in a row.

 

I MADE IT.

Abrams is talking to Disney about releasing the original theatrical versions of the OT.

@Tim fingers crossed

 

OMG

 

The actual full interview isn’t super promising: “I’ve been told that, for reasons that I quite don’t understand, that that’s not necessarily possible.”

Which, it just objectively, on a technical level, is possible. You can’t tell me that all these restoration nerds, w/ Disney’s resources, couldn’t make it happen. Like, I dunno if the Academy destroyed their unplayed 1981 New Hope feel after showing it w/ Rogue One this past summer, but if not... That was supposedly pristine, besides a tear during the Death Star explosion.

Still, while I don’t believe any of the people who expect it as part of a complete Skywalker Saga set next year, I do still believe we’ll get something eventually. Still hoping at least by the 50th anniversary, but obviously hopefully sooner, lol.

 

At the very least, I am glad that JJ is an advocate for them releasing the theatrical versions.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if Lucas had them agree to not release the originals cut in the deal.

 

Until it happens, whatever. There has been so many articles about people wanting it done and it still hasn’t happened. I’ll believe it when I hold them in my hands.

 

I’ve seen that theory online, which would make some sense based on that Academy screening supposedly taking some time to get Lucas’ approval. I don’t think it could be, like, a literal “no theatrical versions” clause or whatever, but since IP ownership & distribution rights are different things, maybe Lucas still has shared distribution rights w/ the Disney-owned Lucasfilm. After all, Fox did still have distribution of 5 of the films ‘til, what, 2020? & A New Hope indefinitely.

Which, Lucas eventually approving that Academy screening is what gives me hope. Granted, he may have only done so on the condition that, like, they destroy that old print afterwards or whatever, lol. But, I still believe a release before his death is possible.
