Time to watch the Red Letter Media reviews in honor of this day.

Oh, and...

 

[erpg]

I only own the 2004 remasters and lost my originals, so I have nothing to celebrate.

I shall celebrate by breaking out my VCR and watching my original copies. Great way to waste a day.

[Majine]

The prequels are better than the originals.

 

[G-Fex]

Seriously? Still?

Turkey is better than ham.

Ep 7 is gonna suck, don't kid yourselves.

 

[Izick]

Some of the best movies of all time. I really hope Episode 7 is at least decent.

Went to Netflix to watch Ep5, only to find out they have none of them

 

[Izick]

Still waiting for Disney to put out the original movies (without enhancements) on Blu-Ray.

Well FOX has the rights to Episode IV so it's not happening any time soon

Disney has some big enough pockets and cache to work out a deal I think.

I wonder if there's an argument for this. I certainly can't come up with one.

Fox is not going to hand over Episode IV home video rights. That title will make them insane amount of money for decades to come. Disney can't alter the deal, they don't own the movie.

Also Fox owns ESB and ROTJ through 2020. Disney doesn't get those for another 7 years.

Star Wars has always been ridiculous, and the prequels gave it the production standard it deserved.

Wait...so then couldn't they release them on Blu-Ray?

Happy Birthday!

Spoiler

Happy Birthday!

 

[Darth Pinche]

I need this on my wall, painted on black velvet, right NOW!!!!

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Woooo! I think I'll grab my kids named after Star Wars characters and watch Empire to celebrate!!!

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Damn, it seems the original release DVDs are going for quite a bit of money now.

This is the only way to watch these films without resorting to shady means.

Yeah, your birthday is just devastated by some fandom, I'm sure.

 

[Stormwatch]

There certainly are a lot of holidays this month! Star Wars day today, Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, Mother's Day, Memorial Day... What a great time of year!

Nicely done, Number One.

Disney? No. Disney owns the prequels and can release them whenever they want now. Fox owns ESB and ROTJ through 2020 so Disney can't release those on home video until then. Disney does not get Episode IV ever, it is 100% owned by Fox.

 

[woolley]

Well you can only hear "may the fourth be with you hurr durr" so many rimes before you want to start punching people in the face and having to hear it all year around doesn't help things.

No, I mean couldn't (in theory) Fox release the OG trilogy ( in their original form) now, or sometime before 2020, if they wanted to?

 

[statham]

may the fourth be with you woolley.

 

[Anth0ny]

I wish I could celebrate by watching the films on blu ray.

I've never even heard about it until I told people my brithday was May 4th at my last job. Luckly I've never heard about it since.

Oh and happy birthday to you too!

 

[Izick]

Does anyone have any preference on the EU stuff? I've read the first two Bane books and they were great. Want to read the third some time down the road. The Thrawn stuff is pretty great from what I've heard; that true?

 

[Myzer]

Watched the Plinkett reviews and original cuts of the trilogy in all their VHS glory.

Cause of all the fandoms that don't shut up it's probably star wars the most. Even more so than bronies.
