Episode I will mark a milestone on the big screen.
Isn't that kind of what the 2011 blue-ray re-release of the Phantom Menace was?
They changed puppet Yoda to CGI Yoda, and maybe a few other tweaks.
That's a longer period of time than when the first movie released until Phantom Menace... dam I'm old.
Fun story I’ve told on Reddit previously. I got to sing in a John Williams tribute concert with my local symphony orchestra years ago. On the last day of our performance, I convinced the basses around me to sing “Corn on the cob, corn on the kebab” (though I like corncob much more).
I’m singing in a Star Wars specific concert this May. Might try the same shenanigans!
Wait, again? Didn't they already try to put it back in theaters a few years ago, by releasing it in 3D?
(well they wanted to do the entire prelogy but abandonned when the first one failed I think)
These "returning to theaters for X anniversary" things are dumb af.
I own the fuckin movie. Why the fuck would I pay money, to sit in a theatre with a couple dozen other people, when I could just watch it at home and A) Not spend any unnecessary money and B) Not deal with other people who could potentially interrupt/disrupt my viewing experience!?
Edit: Enjoy your overpriced ticket with overpriced snacks. You're exactly why the media industry sucks ass.
