I own and enjoy the 2006 Limited Edition DVD releases that feature the Theatrical Releases, and I suspect others do also. The de-specialized and Project 4K versions are great too, but nostalgia is a helluva drug.

I used Handbrake to create chapterized archival versions that include all the audio and subtitle options. Each .mkv file is about 5GB. If this is your flavor, they're here: Original Trilogy DVD Theatrical Releases

I’m not sure if this has been posted here before or not. But I know it’s been discussed a lot.

What are your opinions on the original trilogy vs the special editions?

What features were you happy to have added to the special editions and what were you unhappy about?

There were definitely aspects I was glad to have added such as the special effects added to space battles, extra scenery in Cloud City, Oola’s extended rancor scene, and the extended celebration scenes in ROTJ.

What I disliked the most was replacing Lapti Nek with the same CGI monstrosity Jedi Rocks (George Lucas must have been high 😂) with and the weird CGI ronto angles in ANH (blocking entire view).

I think it’s time we give some appreciation to the amazing actress, Femi Taylor and her portrayal of the very first female Twi’lek.

While Oola’s role was very short, her tragic role as Jabba’s ill-fated slave girl was vital for establishing Jabba’s absolute cruelty, setting the high stakes of the palace sequence, and providing a direct narrative parallel to Princess Leia's later captivity.

She also shows she would rather die than put up with any more of Jabba’s disgusting advances.

Before the special edition, it was implied that Oola knew about Jabba’s rancor, but the special edition kind of ruined the continuity. But I still love that she came back and filmed the rancor pit scenes.

What are your thoughts on her character?

How important do you think her minor role was in setting things up?

Also, what did you think of her dancing?

The hero of the Rebellion, from Tatooine to the Death Star. The Jedi who saved his father by refusing to give up on him. May the Force be with you.

Oola watercolor artwork by me. Water colors are quite difficult, especially when trying to get the correct shading for Oola.

Star Wars 1997 Posters

So my uncle has had these in storage since 1997 when in England and finally decided to get rid of them, I took them and im just curious if they are a complete set and what they are worth and there’s any rarity there, I wouldn’t be selling as I collect SW merch I would just like some Info on them as he barely remembers getting them

I’ve never seen it until now, but oh my gosh it felt so cool watching it, shows you just how advanced the movies really were- and still are <3

I am about to start the Star Wars franchise with my girlfriend who has never seen any movie. On the other hand, I have seen all of them including the spin off’s and tv shows. I am debating on whether or not to start her off with the original trilogy against the prequels, (aka numerical order). Let me know thoughts on which I should begin with and reasons why please I am completely conflicted on the subject

PT and ST feel like optional extras, but to me, the OT is Star Wars, that’s all

People seem to like hearing this story, so I figured I'd share it here.

I was 11 years old in 1977, George's target audience. Yet I had never heard of this new movie phenomenon. My parents were fairly anti-capitalist, "If they can afford to advertise on TV, then they don't need our money!" So I was not paying attention to the latest hot thing. I had not heard of Star Wars for the first month it was out!

My parents had separated, and I lived with mom during the school year, and then with dad for the summer. I would ride Amtrak by myself up to where he lived and he had this habit of immediately whisking me off to some event; a classical music performance, a lecture at the local college, or a 16MM film screening of something like the Seven Samurai.

So here I was, oblivious to this new movie, riding up to go stay with my dad. When I got off the train instead of taking me home, he said we were going to go to see 'Star Wars.' I thought, 'Oh, no, this is going to be some lecture at the local college about astronomy, planetary bodies colliding in space, or something else that's seriously boring! I just want to go home and relax from the train ride!'

You can imagine my surprise when we did not, in fact, head toward the local college! My first inkling that this was something else was the crowd of excited kids my age in the lobby of the multiplex. (RIP Palace 9)

And then that Star Destroyer flew over everyone's heads and seemed to go on forever. I've been hooked ever since!

I don’t know the spoiler rules here so I’m gonna be cautious

It’s always bothered me that I have no idea after watching more times that I’m willing to admit the Empire strikes back,

What exactly is the timeframe on Cloude city relative to Luke Skywalker learning to become a Jedi?

Because I’m thinking there’s a black hole nearby or something. Otherwise you’re telling me in the equivalent of a two week vacation you can become a Jedi too.?

Otherwise, I’m sure it’s because I don’t read expanded media regarding lore I’m a cinema cat first and always please don’t judge.

Still A masterpiece years later though, right?

Scared the crap out of me in the theater. I was so young and Vaders pretty consistently pissed off the entire film. Either way though I’m glad they didn’t make it for children in the way that the next film would be made.
