    I'd have no interest in any existing Star Wars stories being adapted to anime, but some brand new anime and/or manga w/ new characters set in Star Wars canon, created by Japanese artists, would be cool. Especially since Star Wars has borrowed heavily from Asian culture since its inception. (Would also love to see an Arab creator tell a story in this world for that same reason.)

    Finished up ANH on Disney+. I've finally seen it. MACLUNKEY. Best change ever.

    It's been a while since I rewatched it and it's really just the perfect action-adventure story. I've seen it a million times and the Death Star rescue sequence is pure bliss The trench run always sucks me in no matter what. I also love the opening when R2 and 3PO are just wandering around this weird-ass planet. It really drives the point home that Luke is stuck on this weird backwater planet.

    The Obi-Wan/Vader duel is great. The only part that looks funny to me is Obi's slow-ass spin move at the start. Vader should have chopped him down right then and there. Still, it feels like a long-awaited meeting between two veterans who know each other better than anyone.

    I stand by my viewing order of starting with RO and then into ANH. The opening scene when Vader arrives feels extra tense.

    I’ve had the VHS versions of IV-VI and for the longest time only watched those, because why buy the dvds when I had perfectly good VHS. Plus I loved that box design with Vader, Stormtrooper, and Yoda heads on it. I actually haven’t really watched the OT in several years.

    When I finally rewatched ANH and ESB on D+, it’s SO fucking jarring seeing all those edits that I’ve read about or just watch clips of, but finally seeing them in the movie is a total WTF. Drastically takes you out of the movie every time.

  7. I remember this being such a source of pride for Lucas in the Special Edition introduction/behind the scenes thing.

    ROTJ has been done the dirtiest. I threw it on Disney+ last week just for something to put on (and it's my personal favorite)... My God, so many poor choices.

    I was able to snag a De-specialized version of the OT on Blu last summer at some Boston Comic Con, so thankfully I don't need to subject myself to that garbage anymore.

    Even as a small child I knew that added in screaming scatting whatever he was CGI monster was a crime against cinema.

    I can’t remember that guys name and I probably haven’t seen that scene since the special editions came out on VHS but damn that terrible cgi is forever burned into my brain

    Just watched both scenes and I totally don’t mind the music in the original

    Yep, most of the other changes are just kind of annoying and distracting. This is the only one that actively makes me cringe.

    One other small thing I noticed in my ANH rewatch yesterday. 3P0 is so damn untrustworthy. He tells Luke (about R2), I think you'll be quite happy with this droid and then just a few scenes later he's going on about how "that R2 unit has always been a problem" and how much of a trouble maker R2 is. Thanks for nothing, ya dork.

    The more I hear that this has to be an ending for all nine skywalker movies, the more I worry that we are getting Star Wars: Endgame

    That is kinda what I’m hoping for. If it’s the end of the 9 film saga then give me all of the fan service you can and go out with a bang.
