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.

I really want someone to interview Lucas and when he starts complaining tell him, "Grow up. They are Disney's movies, not yours."
(George said this to fans restoring the original Star Wars without his edits.)
What I love is when he starts claiming that this or that change was part of his original vision. Like claiming he always wanted Greedo to shoot first, which is not reflected in any draft of the script before shooting or the shooting script or the memory of the actor who played Greedo.
Dude lies so often he doesn't even think people will check.
Maybe he wanted to change it as soon as he saw it in editing but couldn't afford reshoots.
Maybe, but that's not what he said.
vision != script
Sorry... you're saying he envisioned Greedo shooting first, never wrote it into any of the drafts and never filmed it? Why would that be?
Also that poster must not have seen the original edit. Before his ex wife got involved. It's barely recognizeable. I sat down and watched the whole thing years ago, and it is practically a totally different story.
There's a cut before Marcia Lucas got her hands on it? Do you know where I can find it?
Like I said, it's been years but it's likely on archive.org somewhere. From searching, it may be referred to as "Star Wars The Lost Cut." It was rough like entire scenes only voiced with storyboard for the visuals, but some of the scenes that are there clearly weren't in the released version.
