  • I grew up with a VHS set that was before the 90’s redo, so mine was as close to the original cut as you could get. My son wanted to watch Star Wars for the 1st time the other day. I didn’t want to go to my mom’s house, find the VHS tapes, find a VCR, and go through all the trouble to play it in shitty non HD square screen. I just slapped on the one on Disney Plus, and man it is so cringe and hasn’t aged well. I wonder if George Lucas made it part of his deal when he sold Star Wars to Disney that his shitty cuts had to stay. It doesn’t make sense that Disney wouldn’t give the option for he original unbastardized version.

    Han not just blasting Greedo in cold blood changes the scene and character immensely. They shitty singing/ dancing weird 90s CGI thing in Jabbas lair is terrible. All the 90’s CGI added in the background did not age well; didn’t look particularly good then, and sticks out like a sore thumb.
















  • I think this is bs. I think that the advent of smart phones and distracted drivers plays a much bigger role. 2010 is around the time the smart phone became mainstream. People are paying less attention to the road as a result. I get that getting hit by a bigger car is worse, but when the driver isn’t paying attention in the first place, that’s the true danger. I’ve seen a ton of near misses from people texting and driving. My wife got in an accident because she was texting and driving. She lucked out and was found not at fault because the other person ran a stop sign, but had she not been texting, and actually watching the road, she likely would’ve seen it and stopped. Imo texting and driving ticket needs to be as bad if not worse than DUI. I’ve seen idiots driving around phone in hand making tik toks dancing while driving. Pay attention to the road, you’re in a death machine.
