I only watch the despecialized versions on my 13" laptop. It'd be better on a square box though if I could get one.

Going to be wild seeing the original version again. I look forward to the cheers when Han shoots first.
You don't have the dvd of the theatrical version?
I have the VHS.
Someone on here has it in Laserdisc.

The first time I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark was on Laserdisc at The Pizza House on the square in Bellville in about 1983 or 84. The parents of a couple of friends of mine owned the place, and they had a Laserdisc player and a 50 inch projection tv in there. It was awesome!
Yep, I do. Both the 1981 theatrical version and the 1997 special edition.YouBet said:Rex Racer said:TXAG 05 said:CharleyKerfeld said:

So rich.
Anybody else playing Star Wars: Zero Company? Its a turn based tactical strategy game set at the end of the clone wars. I'm about half way through and its been pretty fun. Good star wars games have been lacking for a while, so I was glad when they re-entered the strategy genre. So far the story and game play feel a lot more like the classic star wars experience.
I started playing it and I love it. I'm not normally a fan of turn based combat games but it's pretty easy to pick up and play and yes the story is cool. I haven't gotten too far yet because of life lol but I plan on playing some this weekend. Good game for sure!

Saw this tonight and wish listed it. Looks good.
Here's example 3,720 of fans writing better Star Wars than Disney ever could….
Disney obviously ****ed up quite a bit - I'm not disputing that - but I don't understand what I just watched, which, IMO, is nothing more than overly sentimental/expositional crap void of any conflict or drama.
It's just fan service to the max.
Especially when Luke already had his cathartic conversation with his father, when Vader/Anakin was dying in his arms. Luke had his closure. They both did.
Why on earth (or Naboo or wherever) would we go back to that well or beat that horse all over again?
Are fans capable of telling better stories than Disney could have? In certain instances, yes. But this ain't it, and IMO, goes to show why certain fans - if not most fans - shouldn't be listened to in terms of actual execution. Their instincts / basic wants? Yes. Their actual writing? Probably not.

Padme didn't die on Mustafar, she died on Polis Massa. What a loser.

It was on mustafar where he broke her heart and essentially caused her death…that's how I took it anyway
There are other "parts" to this little clip so it's not the whole story….but my takeaway was this was some kind of meditation interaction dealing with Luke trying to learn more about his mother….
When the clip started (again out of order) there were a few comments that circled around Luke wanting to learn more about his mom which he had no memory of…
That's what makes this unique.

I'm sure the stuff is all fine and well, but I agree with TC. Not everything made by fans is "aww soo good, take notes Disney!!!"

It always makes me think about Ian Malcolm's speech to John Hammond in the movie version of Jurassic Park. This is actually how I feel about most AI "creations" that get passed off as some wondrous thing.
I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox.
I'm with you. Fanfic crap is generally terrible, like couldn't even make a cut for the scifi channel.

I assume there is a theory out there that Anakin subconsciously, actually broke/tore her heart from his malevolent use of the Force on Mustafar. I always laughed about him literally killing her via broken heart but I guess I could get on board with that theory.

Kinda like in kill bill. Makes sense
These get a little better each time. Adapted from an EU book. Really enjoyed this one.

That was pretty freaking amazing. But I'm curious how someone can produce material like this unless they get permission is use likenesses from those still living or the estate of those passed on?
Honestly, no idea. I can only imagine they're not allowed to monetize?
But I have no clue how that works legally.

You can create stuff like that, or written fan fiction, or whatever, as long as you don't try to sell it or charge anyone to view it.
Hasn't stopped the legal house of mouse before….
I'm wondering if they're letting all this fly cause they're concerned about the massive backlash if the come crashing down on it.
At one point Disney partnered with an AI company to try and have a system where people could create AI content on Disney + using their licensed characters but it was also going to bar anyone anywhere else using those same character likenesses but the AI company backed out.
Edit: ok that last part is wrong….apparently it was always a no no for folks to do this….which makes my first idea above even more possibly correct since they could easily go after these folks

I don't know, man...that tech is 90 to 95% to me. Pretty much can't tell at all that's AI.
Script and writing may be holding that back more than tech.

Well most serious content creators on YouTube are monetized, so if you are making AI Star Wars videos and you get paid by YouTube, then you're breaking Disney's copyright/trademark laws, so they should have to take it down.
When George Lucas invites you to his museum opening, you remember how he influenced basically every single person in Hollywood over the past 50 years.
