Let's Actually Watch the Movie: Return of the Jedi

[B]

I watched return of the Jedi last night
On Disney +

They’ve changed and cut loads of it.
It’s mental.

I'm curious about this. What's different? I thought the D+ version was unchanged from the 2011 Blu Ray.

As far as I can tell from Googling, there were no substantive D+ changes to ROTJ. Dime's probably remembering an older version. In fact, across the whole trilogy, the only change was the Maclunkey line by Greedo.

There were some logo and intro changes, but who gives a shit about that?

That's what I thought as well. But I haven't actually watched it to see.

It’s not that. At all. They’ve changed and cut out a bunch of stuff.
Watched the last Jedi after it. That’s had some chops too. Can only assume they all have.

Sw pals have noticed it as well.

** Palpatines death is a perfect example. Just jump to that. You’ll see. It’s way more than even the special edition

Palpatine doesnt die. Instead - he stops throwing lightning bolts at Luke and just tells him "ill be back" and flys out of the death star before it blows up

"Somehow I will return!"

Sounds made up, dime.

[dimejinky99]

If you say so

[McParadigm]

My son just watched it. I checked the end and didn’t notice a thing. Forgot they added those Vader “No”s though. Jeeezius Christ you guys.

[B]

If you say so

I find it highly, HIGHLY, HIGHLY unlikely that they made changes 2 years ago and no one made a reddit thread, a blog post, or a comparison video (of which there are hundreds for every pixel that has been tweaked) ...

... But, OK, dime, you got 'em, man. Claim your trophy.

If only the movie was as badass as that poster

[dimejinky99]

Sit there and wallow in your wrongness.

Ps ROTJ is getting a cinema release this summer for its 40th anniversary

In the US at least. Can’t find any info for over here.

Don’t tell me you guys won’t go.

Any opportunity to see the OT on the big screen should be grabbed.

[wease]

I saw it on the big screen. When it first came out and when the special edition was released. No need for another time.

[dimejinky99]

I love this film.
The whole jabbas palace and sail barge escape is so much fun:)

[blueviper]

Cool.

Although there is a comment in that twitter feed that reads: "No Palpatine on the poster? He is the one who is victorious"


Ugh. We're gonna start seeing that crap now? Worst thing that could happen was bringing him back for a sh*t surprise in Episode IX, along with him being Rey's grandpa.

[Strat]

I mean, ultimately no he was not victorious so...DUMB COMMENT FAIL

[Strat]

Unless they bring him back again again!!! the rise of palpatine!!! again!

[B]

I forgot about this. Was it actually in theaters?
