Actual American adults wrote the last three pages. Might I suggest you turn off your computers over the Xmas period and do something, anything, else.

Rian Johnson just confirmed that his standalone trilogy will have nothing to do with the Old Republic.quote:Star Wars fans, Last Jedi director Rian Johnson has heard what you want as the subject of his upcoming trilogy of Star Wars movies. And he's not buying it.

Hmmm... so those comments sort of point away from his trilogy being a prequel. I am wondering if it will be some sort of side story set after the sequel trilogy. Snoke came from the unkown regions. Maybe they could do something similar to outbound flight project... send a probe into the unkown regions trying to find out more about whatever snoke is after the events of the sequel trilogy.

I feel like The Old Republic era is better suited for an Anthology series, like The Clone Wars, where you get to follow a random set of characters for a few episodes before swapping to another viewpoint in another part of the Galaxy telling a completely separate story

Lucas will probably insist on being buried with his Technicolor dye print of the original movie, which is quite possibly the best remaining source (ILM and Lowry Digital used it as reference for when they were doing the Special Editions and the DVDs).

josh04 posted:What do you find lacking in the existing original cuts you can get online? I think some people like having some display piece on their DVD/BluRay collection case, or wherever they showcase them. My brother has these huge floor to ceiling bookcases just filled with BluRays, and one book case is just for the special display collector's editions that look silly when stacked next to normal cases, because he's even more proud of them. He has one shelf for just Criterion Collection cases, even though those movies don't technically have anything to do with each other, other than some people made nice editions of the DVDs/BluRays. Personally, I don't get it. Ever since I moved out on my own and started buying my own movies, I tried to shrink the space they take up, first ditching the cases for a disc holder spindle setup, and finally getting rid of the discs and going all digital. But my brother's both think I'm weird in this regard. My despecialized editions of the OT are so pretty. You know, to watch, not to stare at in their non-existent cases.

The Phantom Menace is such an underrated film. Watching it today in my leadup to The Last Jedi, and I just keep finding more to enjoy. The set and costume design are top notch, the music and sound design are fantastic

Collecting physical formats is still very popular. If they ever do it, they should have the original movie poster artwork on the cover instead of those ghastly SE posters.

It's not going anywhere, there is still enough of a market for them, even if it's a fraction of what it once was. Retail stores are mostly sticking to new releases these days, but the more niche collectors stuff still seems on pretty solid footing. Arrow, Criterion, Shout Factory, and a bunch of other companies are doing fine and should be around for the foreseeable future. Collecting movies is primarily the same as any other type of collecting. It's not rational, but who cares, it's fun and satisfying to build a collection of something you enjoy. And movies have the added benefit of providing hours of entertainment, versus something like coins or stamps.

Sure, there will still be collectors holding onto physical media like records (or cassette tapes, god help those adorable hipsters), but the mass market is likely going to digital media on services like iTunes, Vudu, and Amazon Prime. Hell, Movies Anywhere let's you link all three accounts and the movies in them, so my Vudu purchases show up in iTunes, and vice versa. It's awesome, and the way the market appears to be heading.

Well mass market, sure, you could argue that's already happened. The Best Buys and Walmarts of the world are probably 2-3 years away from eliminating their DVD/blu ray sections completely. But blu rays will still be produced and sold to collectors online just as they are now. That's the way a lot of successful products exist these days, doesn't mean the entire market will disappear.

I apologize if it seemed I was implying BluRays would stop being produced. Sure, they'll still be around just like CDs still can be bought. But I was talking about the norm for most people out there. The post of mine you quoted was me responding to someone saying, "Collecting physical formats is still very popular". If that is still true, it won't be for long, I feel. Books are somehow holding on better than movies or music. And I can see why, because I, rather hypocritically, love the look, feel, and even smell of books. If I ever become rich (I won't), I will probably blow a ton of money on a library. But even I have to admit my Kindle is really loving convenient.

If that is still true, it won't be for long, I feel. Yea I guess we misunderstood each other. I think the only thing keeping physical formats in the "popular" category right now is people in the 60+ age group(my grandparents watch DVDs, for instance), and yea once they start to die out then only collectors will be buying physical media. Collectors will just have to get used to paying collector prices for movies though, when Shout Factory puts out some schlocky 80's horror movie, they're charging like $25 for it. Same for Arrow. The days of bargain bin $7.99 blu rays is probably close to over and eventually only the really nice releases targeted at collectors will be left.
