I give the side-eye to people who call it "A New Hope" or "Episode IV."

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Not MY Star Wars:
As far as I'm concerned, that was a scene with a different Jabba, a big Irish guy in a fur coat. But it wasn't in the movie, so it doesn't matter.
It was better without Jabba, leaves the buildup for later.
Agreed, but then if you watch the movies in chronological order, which I think is what the expectation is at this point, absolutely none of the buildup in any of the original trilogy matters.
Best I’ve heard, if you’re watching the originals, is to watch them as 4,5,1,2,3,6 - the logic being that you don’t spoil the big revel and 1-3 are like a flashback to see how we got to “now”.
Then skip 7-9.
Then play Star Wars: Squadrons for at least 10 hours (you may split this up with sleep if you like, or a little ham), then watch Rogue One
7 is fine, it's just a rehashing of 1 for a new generation. It just needs to be followed up with a "and then Poochie died on his way home to his planet" single animation cell that explains what happened to Luke.
The end.
I choose to believe that Luke was a ghost the whole time. He was killed with the other Jedi when Kylo Ren attacked the Jedi Temple. Rey is just seeing a Force ghost, and ghost Luke and confused and angry which is why he's acting so weird.
Probably doesn't line up perfectly with what happens in TLJ, but I only saw it once when it was released so I can just remember Rey visiting Luke at a bad time when he was an angry ghost. Nothing really happens in TLJ anyway so there's not much reason to watch it again.
Precisely. If Lucas didn't bother to retain that actor/character for ROTJ, then it never happened.
I agree. That said, this fan did a 'fix' of the version with Jabba in a pretty ingenious way.

Ok, now that's clever and reasonable. More evidence that Lucas has always needed outside voices and not just "yes men" to reign things in.
I just read this on Wikipedia about CG Jabba (apparently) being upgraded for a 2004 DVD release from the 1997 "special" edition-
I love it.
😏
Yeah, well... kids today...
This was such a stupid, stupid scene. Like all the other "humor" scenes he started injecting.
Jabba's way too small. And there's no way in hell he'd let him just stomp on his tail like that. And...sigh.
The humor basically had to be added to the scene, otherwise Han would have stepped through Jabba's tail. It's a shot that is blocked just fine if you shot it with a big Irish guy who didn't have a tail.
On my Jellyfin server I edited that part out along with most of the bad graphics.
I just got a copy of the Despecialized edition.
My editing actually was pretty successful but I can't get rid of the dumb animal that walks in front of the camera when they are stopped by storm troopers.
