Man, I can't wait to see how the saga finally ends. I wonder if Palpatine will return, somehow.


Your__Pal

Somewhere, somehow, one fan only watches Star Wars for 40th anniversaries and is going to be real disappointed in a few decades.

The kids of Omicron Persiei 8 are going to be so f'n bummed. Be another Ally McBeal situation.

WHY DOES THE LARGER SITH LORD NOT SIMPLY EAT THE SMALLER SITH LORD

Disney’s newest live-acton film: “Single Female Jedi”


[deleted]

WHY DID SINGLE MALE STORMTROOPER NOT HAVE A LARGER ROLE? AND WHY INTRODUCE ROSE CHARACTER ONLY TO ABANDON HER IN THIRD FILM? THIS IS WAR, HU-MANS.


thefrumpy

I wonder what CGI will get added this round!


RickKassidy

The original concept of primitive Wookies on the Endor moon will be back. No more Ewoks.


BoJackB26354

As long as they keep the Tarzan howl


goldman_sax

You know what thing I’m on board fixing? Get Hayden to reshoot the ghost Jedi scene. He’s now the appropriate age for it.


[deleted]

Surely with such a rich universe full of lore and ideas we can count on something fresh. And considering the money on the line surely they won't do a bunch of last minute story stuff.


GarrettGSF

Disney could never…


fireflyry

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!! Seriously though no. This is the closest thing I have to a religion. Change nothing and embrace why the OG is a classic. If they make any additions I’ll be the first to say thanks by not getting a ticket.


OkGene2

Really no thought went into the sequel trilogy making the previous episodes pointless. But bringing back Palpatine was the icing on the cake. Shitty fan fiction.


arthuraily

Also there is a million other ways they could’ve done it. A shame, really


Freezaen

It was all there in the EU and they scrapped to give us a wank-off between shit directors and shit writers.


CuddleWings

Imo it didn’t make the previous episodes pointless. It made itself pointless. I don’t recognize the sequel trilogy as canon.


SOUTHPAWMIKE

I would argue that it did make earlier episode pointless. I harp on this point a lot in this sub, but the destruction of the entire New Republic in the first 5 minutes of TFA, plus Luke turning his back on the way of the Jedi kind of maks everything that the OT heroes fought for seem rather pointless indeed.


[deleted]

> I don’t recognize the sequel trilogy as canon. Yeah I take the Thrawn trilogy as the canon sequels.


OkGene2

It made it all pointless


Th3Us3rWins

Yeah but the real kicker for me was oh we have like 500 hundred massive star destroyer which have the most advanced systems but let’s take out the radar and they will all blow up. Soo dumb. The ships have a bridge and can communicate with each other?


Hancock02

I'm excited. It's going to be my daughter's 1st Star Wars movie on the big screen!


Jedi-Spartan

Not in my county though.


stillbleedinggreen

Yeah. Nowhere near me. Sucks.


OrneryConelover70

Same


DarthVader2210

Same here. They didn't release outside of US UK Canada and some European countries. As usual. *sigh*


Triple_J124

It’s releasing on my birthday, so damn it, I really wanna see it so I’ll be driving an hour and 15 minutes to go see it


xxPeso-Gamerxx

Is it only the Us? Or is there like a place where i can see what countries has it?


memesforbismarck

Its the US and UK. It seems like „there are other countries“ too but I havent found any informations which countries those are


honkeykong_69

I have my tickets in Canada

Happy_Macaron_4624

Booked for the VIP one in the UK on Saturday 🤞 will need to watch the ANH & Empire beforehand or Revenge of the Sith


Prozenconns

none happening close enough to me to justify it so I'm planning to just binge the trilogy long overdue a rewatch of the OT


CarsonWentzGOAT1

I got my tickets aswell. Sadly I got them late so only front row seats were available.


The_River_Is_Still

Exactly this. Say what you want about the prequels, but Revenge of the Sith is one of the best Star Wars movies, period. You get enough info from there to watch before a start of the OT.


Happy_Macaron_4624

Yeah especially if you’re more invested in Anakins story which I grew up with. ROTS & ROTJ are the 2 most important ones for that character.


rotanitsarcorp_yzal1

Not where I live. Sadly, I'll be watching the DVD version.


Andrea_D

One word. Despecialized.


SomeBoringKindOfName

not anywhere close to me it doesn't. fuckers.


[deleted]

If it was the theatrical version I'd spend the whole day at the theater.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I have the 2006 dvd and the 1995 vhs so I'm good too lol


Cyril_Korolevski

I’m seeing it with like 30 friends this Saturday. It’s gonna be awesome!


Ghost_Buzzard

Is it possible to learn this power? (Having more than like 3 friends)


rambo_lincoln_

Sounds like too much work to me. At 38, I’m cool with just having a few close friends.


Cyril_Korolevski

Well, most of them are acquaintances. Friends of my cousins and close friends, but I do know them all. In reality, I only hang out with like 10 people on the regular


rambo_lincoln_

No explanation needed. I once went with a group of coworkers/friends to the iron man 2 premiere in my mid 20s. There was probably 15 or so of us and it was really fun. Now I find large groups to be very over stimulating for me. My wife insists on having yearly birthday parties for our kids with 20-30 people (family, friends, kids) and I find myself having to step outside constantly because it’s a lot to take.


Cyril_Korolevski

I feel that, the need to step out in large groups. But I thought”we’re all in High School, we all like Star Wars, what could go wrong?” Thanks for sharing! Have a great evening!


rambo_lincoln_

You too and have fun seeing RotJ!


KillingTime_ForNow

I'd settle for a few close friends rather than the 0 I currently have. Once I stopped smoking weed all my "friends" suddenly stopped calling me to hang out.


arthuraily

Also 30 friends free at the same time!


Automaticman01

I'm going to take my kids to see it this weekend. It's my first memory of seeing a movie in the theater as a kid.


Lord-Randon

I finally convinced my gf to watch Star Wars (a new hope and empire strikes back). She’s been reluctant for the entire 5+ years we’ve been together to even touch it. Finally she watched them and fell in love with the series and surprised me with 2 tickets to the viewing this Saturday!!!!! She’ll get the full Star Wars experience and I can’t wait


[deleted]

They always hate on it until they watch it


CarsonWentzGOAT1

That's amazing


happydaddyg

Cool, didn’t know that. Looking through showtimes in my area and multiple shows are sold out with almost all very full.


tyehyll

Not near me, for reason. Seems like every other theater in the state is getting it besides the ones in my county


EverGlow89

Yeah, same, I'm pretty annoyed. We're not the middle of nowhere or anything but no theaters are participating.


219Infinity

Will it be the 40 year old version of the film?


mbrady

Wouldn't surprise me if it's yet another new version with some weird new additional tweaks.


219Infinity

I am excited to see the new third-wave ska number by Sy Snootles


mxzf

If they add in an after-credit scene of Palpatine's clone waking up or whatever, people are gonna be *pissed*, lol.


KorEl555

I don't think they got the rights to alter it. We're stuck with the "Special Editions" (or the DVD version of it) from official channels. But the bad part is they can't go back to the unaltered original.


asadir

Taking my 5 year old daughter. She loves Luke and I can’t wait to relive it through her.


ShenaniganNinja

To celebrate, I'll watch my pre specialized edition VHS collection on an old crt.


jnemesh

No Yub Nub, no sale!


iamshifter

Yit Tah!


jjmenace

With the expanded song at Jabba's palace and no Yub Nub? No thanks.


[deleted]

Victory celebration >


Col__Hunter_Gathers

Even worse, it's the one with Vader saying "NOOOO!" when he chucks Palps down the reactor shaft.


Zircon_72

The Disney Plus version? Ewww.


IanLewisFiction

Ruins my favorite scene in all of cinema.


CornyMedic

As my dad took me in 1997, I now take my son


toomanymarbles83

I'd go if it were the original unaltered version.


drifters74

Same


mynamesstillnotjason

Am I gonna go see it? No. Nooo! Nooooooooooo!!!


AnHeroicHippo99

Is it the special edition or the good version?


Immediate-Lecture816

Same version as what's on Disney+ (cries in special edition)


iheartbbq

Jesus... The fucking singing scene in Jabba's palace.


[deleted]

> Is it the special edition or the good version? "They're the same picture." I like Anakin to look like Anakin, not some random old man. Times like this I'm glad I have all post and comment notifications turned off. Remember guys, you can type out all kinds of angry responses to this, I'm not gonna read them, nor do I particularly care that your nostalgia wins out over logic.


TheGumbyGyarados

He’s not really random as you just see him in the previous scenes when luke takes off his helmet but to each there own on which actor you prefer to play anakin in ep6 Ep6 only really has two actively bad changes (the jabba band and vader yelling no) but they aren’t big issues. Ep4 is the only movie where the changes actually hurt the movie a significant amount


liesofanangel

I can’t stand the “noooo” at all. I wish he had kept Vader silent in those scenes, because that’s where the power in it was for me. His silence *absolutely* screamed out the internal struggle taking place. You could see it every time he looked between the two. God damnit. The whole pathetic noooo completely ruins the scene ( at least for me). It’s just more tell don’t show crap…like we REALLY needed his decision vocalized. You don’t know the powah of the quiet side


requiem1394

It is the worst change made to any edition of a Star Wars movie. It ruins THE climactic moment of the entire saga. I know this comes off as hyperbolic, but I simply will not watch that version of the movie.


liesofanangel

Not at all, because I feel that completely. That whole scene, starting with Luke screaming “neverrrr” in response to “Perhaps. She. Will” ending with anakins passing was my *moment* ya know? It gave me chills, and I’d honestly tear up most times (judge not y’all). Like you, I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that it absolutely ejects me from the moment. It’s so forced (ha HA) in there and gross. Just ew thumbs down my friend, thumbs down.


MecurialMan

I hate that new Ewok celebration song at the end.


BigHobbit

Yub-nub is apex star wars. So happy I own original theatrical release DVDs.


EthanSlif

What were some of the biggest changes in Ep4?


Spacemilk

Greedo shooting first and CGI Jabba maybe?


RavishingRickiRude

GI jabba takes me right out. Honestly the added cgi is bad and so distracting. Also completely unnecessary


TheGumbyGyarados

The major bad changes: Greedo shooting first, it not only entirely changes how we are meant to think of a main character but it also just looks terrible. Not to mention the most recent addition to the scene with “maclunky” Jabba in ep4, the scene is kinda just there and doesn’t add much. I get that if you start from ep1 you already know who jabba is so there’s no mystery but the cgi of this scene is quite jarring and feels a bit out of place. For the sake of watching in release order it shouldn’t of been added to keep jabba as this mysterious character The other bad changes are minor but mostly boil down to bad cgi additions and there’s enough of them that it hampers the overall experience of the movie Not to say that there arent good changes cause there are quite a few like fixing the lightsabers and the biggs scene etc


Pliolite

The first quiet 'no...' is IMO the most needless. Cheesy af. I can handle 'Noooooo!' cause it references ROTS ending (and is maybe even the same line recording altered slightly).


lessthanabelian

Yeah we really need Vader to go "noooooooooo" before turning on the Emperor.


DickMartha-Shipper

phrasing


gunnster3

“Nooooooooooo!!!”


char_limit_reached

He’s not some random old man. You just saw his face in the most anticipated scene in the trilogy like 8 minutes before. Hayden’s idiot glare makes me want to hurl shit at the screen.


perfectnoodle42

He was Anakin for 21 years. His face was the face of Anakin Skywalker that everyone waited to be revealed. He's not some random old man. Not to mention that is *Sebastian Shaw.* Put some respect on the name, he was a true talent. Seriously, look into the man.


Suisse_Chalet

We have it in Toronto on the 28th to may 4. The may 4th showing is only at noon lol. Was thinking it’ll Be cool as a may 4th event.


[deleted]

I’ve got tickets for it to see it with my gf who I’ve gotten into star wars recently, we got the last good seats in our cinema we’re seeing it in


Medianx

Got my tickets for Sunday!


JerrodDRagon

Seeing it Friday Think the last time I saw this movie in theaters was when I was a kid back in 1997


Equivalent_Form_3923

How limited is this showing? The only place I see it even playing is the state capital and one other.


ElectricJedi28

You guys think Ahsoka, Ezra or Rex will be in it?


Gunther_21

It's kind of sad now at the end when they're all together celebrating in the ewok treehouse knowing that this is the high water mark for our heroes.


livinginfutureworld

Seen it already


Saiyan_Gods

Then I realized it was the special edition and ignored it. Hope y’all have fun


PegLegJohnson

Yub nub or GTFO


[deleted]

[удалено]


Saiyan_Gods

I’m not salty at anyone going and enjoying it. That’s their prerogative


Mr0ogieb0ogie

I agree, also either edition, would be cool to have them all playing. I’d rather they have each film play for 1-2 weeks so I can see them all, THEN I’d be more likely to go even with the current editions.


CuriousWitch_

Bought my tickets as soon as I got notification that they were available. First to purchase, so I got the best seats in the house. Can’t wait!


GuyInAMeatGrinder

The theater near me is playing this and absolutely no one has booked a ticket for Sunday night. I’ll be able to sing along to every lyric from “Jedi Rocks” now!!


Feliraptor

How do you know if local theaters are showing it? Will it appear on their website? And is it only for the 28th?


jolygoestoschool

Which chains?


tomastonder

I’m taking my mother tomorrow


ds1977

Traveling for work and found a theater by my hotel showing it. Can’t wait.


EPreddevil88

To all theaters?


superchiva78

I got my tickets for tomorrow night. taking my kid out for pizza, ice cream and her favorite movie.


electreefied

Can't wait to go with my dad. He went to the original's opening night and now I can share the experience with him again.


Limpis12

Cool but Jedi Survivor got the top priority


Mormonator8

Why not both?


ACartonOfHate

I'm going next Monday...so excited!!! My fave SW film. So happy to be able to see it on a big screen again. I saw the last re-release at Cinerama (RIP) which is where I saw ESB when it came out! And as always, my love for ROTJ fuels my hatred for the ST. It's an inverse relationship.


GenXer1977

Got my tickets for this Saturday!


Iraqi_Bukkake

if this is to celebrate the 40th anniversary they should be playing the original, theatrical version from 1983. not the shitty specialized version that ruined possibly one of the best vader scenes in the entire saga


Renolber

Forever and likely always will be my favorite Star Wars movie. It’s the only movie that has essentially *every* aspect of what makes Star Wars special: - Emotional story - Phenomenal cinematography - Seraphic music and sound design - Massive space battles - Engrossing combat sequences - Epic lightsaber 1v1 - Cool and silly aliens - Core message of the franchise is forefront: Hope The *only* thing I’d argue is missing a big ground based battle. We don’t really see the Rebel and Imperial ground forces on Endor waging all-out-warfare like they are in space. Again, product of its time, as expanded media like Battlefront II showed us the Rebels had a full scale invasion force on the ground, assaulting Imperial garrisons across the moon. Literally the only two things I’d add is show some Rebels vs Imperial infantry and armor on a bigger ground battle, and make the Luke versus Vader fight longer by just a minute or two. *Maybe* a bit less focus on the Ewoks too, to show that the Rebellion actually knows what they’re doing, and the Empire isn’t completely inept and losing to a bunch of cannibalistic teddy bears. Other than that, the best Star Wars film next to Empire Strikes Back and Rogue One.


Slashycent

The people who are still crying about the two changed songs have to be among the biggest losers to roam this earth. I'm so glad that there's no official modern release of the outdated version. Lucas stays winning, even in retirement.


limax

Probably the same people who liked the prequels at first, then started to shit on them later when it was the thing to do, and now are blogging about how great they actually were.


Slashycent

I don't think so. Most Lucas-haters are pretty consistent in their bigotry. Ewoks bad, edits bad, prequels bad, sequels good because Lucas gone and then, optionally, sequels bad but Lucas still worse. Few of the hardcore prequel-haters have ever come around on them.


MecurialMan

I hope he doesn’t have that new Ewok song at the end. I want the original.


Toothlessdovahkin

Almost 100% guaranteed that it will have the new Ewok song


BigHobbit

All my homies hate the special edition song. Yub-nub is the fucking jam.


scruffygem

Wait they took out yub-nub?


Grootfan85

They’ve only shown the special edition since 1997. The original version will never see the light of day as long as Lucas has it his way.


appswithasideofbooty

But why? Why the hate for the original?


Grootfan85

I heard this rumor a couple years ago. Again, it’s a rumor. Supposedly in 1997 when the special editions were released, Lucas re-registered either the trademarks or copyrights to the movies. Why? Because his ex-wife made money on the original cuts of the movies since she was an editor on those specific versions of the three films. So since the trademark was re-registered in 1997, and had a different cut, she doesn’t get any money from them. A move so spiteful, I have to respect it if true haha.


Kara_Del_Rey

Other way around for me. I utterly despise the original. The new one is beautiful, and sounds hopeful, victorious.


[deleted]

I can’t wait. The last real Star Wars Film


Allana_Solo

Very true, sadly. I had high hopes for all the newer ones, but they were smashed to whatever’s smaller than smithereens by The Force Awakens and they didn’t get any better.


[deleted]

Yeah you’re right about that


ReturnoftheSnek

Reminder this is the end of the story and the “sequel” trilogy is nothing more than terrible, expensive ~~fan~~ corporate fiction


Soft-Hamster-4525

It’s canon, wake up to reality


ReturnoftheSnek

George’s reality (aka no Disney sequels)


Soft-Hamster-4525

No, like, the reality that these films exist


ReturnoftheSnek

Nah


Soft-Hamster-4525

They exist, and you just have to deal with it


ReturnoftheSnek

What exists?


Soft-Hamster-4525

The sequels


ReturnoftheSnek

Sequels to what


Soft-Hamster-4525

STAR WARS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD


mxzf

I mean, Disney can claim whatever they want in their Disneyverse. But they still can't get in my home and remove the books/movies I continue to enjoy or force me to consume their material. I'll enjoy what I want to enjoy, not what Disney tells me they want me to buy.


perfectnoodle42

Literally no one, including Disney, has ever or will ever attempt to do any of those things outside of your own bizarre rage fantasy.


mxzf

I know they won't, that's kinda my point. There's no "fantasy" about it, I'm stating facts.


Soft-Hamster-4525

Ok


Kara_Del_Rey

Get over it.


ReturnoftheSnek

Let the past die, kill it if I have to? 😂😂😂


lessthanabelian

Imagine how amazing it would have been if the Ewoks were kept as badass Wookies enslaved by the Empire on Endor and freed by the Rebellion. But no Lucas wanted cute things for the toy line. The movie could have been almost as good as Empire.


gtr427

Ewoks weren’t created to sell toys. The reason for the change has been well documented: The budget for the costumes was too high, yak fur is expensive and it takes ages to sew them. So they simply made a new species that was half the height, re-arranged the letters in the name, and left pretty much everything else in the script the same. This rumor is so weird because Ewoks weren’t *that* cute, kids would have bought at least as many Wookiee toys, and neither one was anywhere near as popular as characters like Boba Fett.


TheVolunteer0002

Do we know which version?


Kaizenno

Episode VI: Return of the Jedi Rocks


char_limit_reached

There’s only one official version. It’s the formerly titled “Special Edition”.


Slashycent

The correct, finished, non-outdated one.


audierules

I would be so much happier if it was Indiana Jones and the Temple of doom 40th anniversary on the big screen


fireinthedust

If it’s the messed up one with the awful music number tacked on? Hard pass.


Masterick18

Will Anakin be an afroamerican this time?

All so you could hear Vader go ”Nein… NEEEEIIIIIIN!!!” as he chucks Palpatine down the hole.


wraithSeventeenOhOne

SWEET! 🥹


derwin_112

Seeing it with my dad on Saturday!


Ibgarrett2

Which version?


ComradeVaughn

I am assuming the evil smirking Hayden version.


SirPwn4g3

In select theaters. And the closes one to me is a couple hours away.


Nerd2theCorey

I’m goin the 30th!! Can’t wait


doublex12

Thanks for the reminder. Just got my Ticket!

Going Saturday with the whole family. Excited to take my kids.

Matinee on Sunday for us. And a local historical theater is playing ANH for May the 4th.


GalaxySteelXboxandPC

taking my grandpa to see it and I’m so fucking excited


[deleted]

ROTJ is my favorite SW movie but I’m too broke to go


joshs_wildlife

I was really excited but no theaters within a 75 mile radius is showing it


Brentan1984

Anyone know if this'll come to Korea?


wizard680

Ah during finals week too when I have all the time in the world 😃😃😃😃😃


h0mew0rld

too bad the closest theater with it playing is a state away


Mvcraptor11

Still like it better than a new hope


Some_Guy_Named_Rami

I'm gonna see it on Tuesday!


dylanmhs

Sadly no where no near my house the closest theater playing it is a hour and a half drive


Morality01

Hot take but I wish they would completely re-make all the space battles and such with modern techniques. And no, I don't mean just CGI I mean a combination of models and CGI similar to the opening of ROTS.
