IT looks like it's coming back to the big screen, but who knows which print it will be.

Will it be the one your inner child saw way back in the 70s or will be the one from the 90s that others grew up with?

On a related note, Jaws is coming back to theaters for its 50th this month, and that’s one I didn’t get to see on the big screen. That’s one I definitely wanna see.

The version I saw in theater as a kid was before it was called Episode IV - A New Hope, which was apparently added in 1981, so it's almost definitely not going to be the one from the 1970s.

I would guess it'll just be the special edition again, maybe remastered (again).

In the new version Han doesn't even shot. Gredo has a heart attack in the booth and Han performs CPR and then they become friends.

I heard that Gredo and Hans play rock-paper-scissors, then dance to the funky grooves of Max Rebo.

Empire was the first one I got to see in a theatre - I was only 5 when the original came out.

However, back when I was doing Rocky Horror, the owner of one of the theatres where we performed was an FoC (friend of cast), and one day he rented a print of A New Hope and played it solely for the cast and a few select friends.
We were cracking jokes and yelling callback likes the entire time.

They are not even going to roll out more garbage to milk the franchise this time? How many more movies are going to want to do this? Too bad we missed Chinatown last year.

Brilliant.

Imagine the spin-off, The New Adventures of Han and Greedo. Like a buddy cop movie where they hate each other.
