What you posted leads me to believe that this movie is a setup for a LOT of different themes in upcoming movies. Imagine a movie creating not one, but multiple sequel threads.

[robroys woman]

Yep. I saw the first one 26 times in the theater. I was hooked. I really liked the last installment before this one as well as Rogue 1 because they tied it all together in two distinct ways. I loved seeing the original characters as the old people, and I loved seeing events leading up to the very moment the first movie starts.

So I’m done now, though I might like to see Carrie Fisher in her last role. But I leave this to the next generation of moviegoers to vote with their wallets.

With advances in digital technologies, Hollywood should be a little worried about the nerds. Notwithstanding the sanctity of property rights, these nerds CAN recut a film to their liking, upload it to a site, and THAT version may take hold and trump the "original" version.

A great example of this is Metallica's "...And Justice For All." Basically, the bass is inaudible, a sort of hazing of then-new bassist Jason Newsted. However, people have taken the album and using new software "recovered" the bass and remixed the album with an audible bass. It's actually better than the original, IMHO.

Another great example is bootlegs of concerts. Back in the day, except for the Dead, it was illegal to make a tape of a concert. Nowadays, everyone with a cell phone can make their own recoding of a concert. I don't think anyone sells bootlegs anymore nor does it seem to be policed.

Now, again, property rights must be defended. I'm not condoning concert taping or violation of the rule of law. Artists deserve to be paid for their product just like the butcher, baker, and candlestick maker.

But what I AM saying is that Hollywood should take note that if they continue to take their audience for granted, they may find themselves getting thrashed like never before.

“Now, again, property rights must be defended. I’m not condoning concert taping or violation of the rule of law. Artists deserve to be paid for their product just like the butcher, baker, and candlestick maker.”

It’s a nice thought, but I don’t think those rights are going to remain enforceable much longer with the rate of technological innovation. We can’t put the genie back in the bottle concerning the ease and ability of copying information freely, any more than we could reverse the revolution of the printing press. Any property that is essentially just information is ethereal and can’t practically be protected anymore, certainly not in the near future as the technology to capture, copy and distribute it becomes cheaper, more universal, more portable, and more flexible. Sooner or later society is going to realize that and I think the laws will have to catch up to the reality.

I think they should have brought back Dustin Hoffman to replay his part.

Yeah, I know he has those accusations from way back when, but Meryl Streep is still acting, and she’s such a phony-baloney.

Thanks for sharing, after listening to this, The Shortest Straw seems like the song to most benefit from this remix.

I agree with one of the comments that if they brought down the bass 3db and rolled off the highs a little, it would be perfect. But overall, a much better album by having the bass pushed with more presence.

Lars will lose more hair over this.

Ah yes. You probably loved the part about ‘slipping away in unarmored and unshielded transport ships’...

Cause the Empire is not going to be looking for any ships leaving the Cruiser...

Cause...

Well cause...

Well just cause...

They are the Empire after all.

If they want to not monitor the ship they are chasing that is in increasingly dire straights for desperate escapees, that is their business.

[Pikachu_Dad]

So Luke comes to the ‘rescue’.

Only he doesn’t bother to remove the rocks in the back of the cave so they can escape while he ‘delays’ ?!?

And Lea is now so feeble she can’t remove the rocks ?!?

And don’t they have one good dozer in this ‘rebel base’ ?

Or even some explosives ?!?

Sheesh.

WORST

PLOT

LINE

EVER.

If you start worrying about plot holes in a movie with space wizards you’ve walked into the wrong theater. The whole series are basically Roger Corman exploitation movies only with good budgets, watch them like B movies, understand them like B movies.

Because they had to be unpredictable, so they threw the formula out the window.
