The Holiday Special is one of those things that are so bad that they're good.  I give out copies as gifts, and the friends who have received the DVDs loved it.  Of course, we will never see an official release of it, ever.  Not even Disney would let us have one.  But, that's why we have bootlegs!

Ever thought this might be a win-win after all? 

Fox MIGHT still own some of the rights, as well as Disney. Remember, who made the trilogy and went through HELL to get these movies out? The guy with the chin. Even lucas feels that 1~3 doesn't feel right and doesn't acknowledge Star Wars Holiday Special. At All (like X6 and Keiji Inafune, it was made behind his back, and InfaKing doesn't feel right about SAR).

It's a huge licensing battle after all.

Fox does not own the rights anymore.  Else, they would have produced the Clone Wars movie.  If you recall, no Fox fanfare for that one.  Time Warner owned the production rights at the time.

You and Ruri should form a fan club: The "No Joseph Collinses Club".  And like, you'll invite everyone in except me!  But then another Joseph Collins would come out of the woodwork and be all, "Why am I not invited to the club?  I hate that prick, too!  He ruined my good name because he just happens to have the same name!" and you'll be all like "Sorry, no Joseph Collinses" and he'll be all "C'mon, man!  Look, here's 20 bucks, okay?" and you'll be all like "[tornado fang] off you same-name loser!"

And then he'll sick the United States Army on you because that particular Joseph Collins happens to be a military general back from the dead.

And then Civil War II would start.  All because of your irrational hatred!  Congratulations, hero! 

Actually, that club would be allowed to have one Joseph Collins in it.  It is the "No Joseph Collinses Club," after all.  Much like the "No Homers".

I suspect it may be a stone.  We'll see.  Either way, I'm drinking more liquids to help flush it through.  I'm keeping an eye on it, though.

Quick!  Buy Fox and sell it to Disney so we can get the fanfare back!

Yeah, that was strange.

Times like these, I feel that physics apply...

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Life seems to work that way.

I'll say one thing...  Seeing the Disney castle before the Lucasfilm logo is going to be weird as hell.

Aren't you... overreacting a little?
I mean, they have yet to do anything, and yet you make it out to be a huge tragedy.
For all we know, they will keep everything intact.

You would have to be a Wookieepedian to understand.

Since Disney had a hand in the Avengers, then I trust that what they make would be pretty damn good. 

I'm just saddened that this happened.  It felt like the death of the EU.  It felt like Disney kicked in my door, burned my entire collection, tied me to a chair, and forced me to watch.

Well, according to Lucasfilm, the plot of Episode VII will be "entirely original".  There's a chance that it won't ride roughshod over established continuity, and with the original actors vying to get on board, they could very easily establish it forty years later, which would give them an opportunity to introduce a new Big Three, something that EU has been struggling to build.

Also... With Disney on board, there is a very good chance that we'll get high-quality unaltered OT releases on Blu-Ray and DVD.  They know that fans have been craving such releases for years, and Lucas himself had stood in the way of their releases (save for the DVD releases he had in 2002).  With Lucas out of the picture, we may finally see some digitally remastered releases of the unaltered OT.  That would be an early money-maker for Disney and they would be wise to go that route.

Yeah, because they were part of Lucas's "original vision."  

Sorry Lucas.  You can't use that line anymore.

Oh, and there's this quote from Lucas's interview, supplied to us by Leland Chee.



It gives me a new hope.

And on that note, I'm getting my ass to bed.
