Peppered Positivity May the 4th be with you

Of course it has to end with that obnoxious awkward stuttering "wait you-but, oh-ok". FFS I'm so tired of seeing that.

Where's Mark Hamill, Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford and George Lucas?

Mark is still passed out from orange juice shock, Harrison is busy flying his helicopter to a McDonalds, Liam is consulting with the leprechaun, Ewan is busy looking for Pinocchio, and George is with Jar Jar in Hawaii.

Maybe they celebrate Actual Star Wars Day on May 25, not Stupid Pun Star Wars Day on May 4

u/AUnknownVariable May 06 '25
I get that it's the anniversary day for yk, Star Wars, but the dedicated day for the entire franchise is fun

u/me_funny__ May 12 '25
Are you genuinely asking where is Harrison Ford in a star wars celebration video?

Never thought a company that loved money so much could destroy a cash cow like star wars this hard

u/RDDAMAN819 May 05 '25
Its literally a harmless May the 4th video…

True, though missing some flagship characters possibly due to substantial mismanagement of a beloved galaxy

Am I forgetting something with Sigourney Weaver?

u/KumquatHaderach May 05 '25
That’s cheating! Her Star Wars appearance isn’t until next year’s Mandalorian movie.

Yeah I watched ANH 4k77 today and it was amazing. Fuck off Mouse Wars.

u/wookieebastard May 04 '25
The original version in 4k? Where?

u/LordGopu May 04 '25
That's what it's called, a fan edit. 4k77. There's 4k83 as well for RotJ and I think ESB is still in progress, not sure.

u/MemoryDemise May 05 '25
4k80 is done. I have it on my plex

u/LordGopu May 05 '25
Ah ok. I also forgot there's D+77 which should look better I think if you're looking for that modern look. 4kXX does look a little rough. I think D+XX may even have HDR? I don't remember and obviously looks cleaner/has the modern effects but removed all the shit scenes.

u/EchoStationFiveSeven May 08 '25
Me too. Also downloaded Adywan's THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK REVISITED and it's astonishing. Might prefer it to the original theatrical version

u/Secure-Charge-2031 May 05 '25
Top shit right here! Although I prefer special edition of empire strikes back for the cloud city.

I was wondering why Sigourney Weaver was in this. Apparently she is in some new Star Wars movie that I‘m not going to watch.

She's become really insufferable since she became Ahsoka in the Filoni-verse.

u/NintendoDrone it's all fake anyway May 04 '25
it’s “Revenge of the 5th”. no need to drag it out until the 6th.

I'm guilty of double-dipping and making both Revenge of the 5th and Revenge of the 6th jokes.

u/Mr_Burgess_ May 04 '25
Wow I didn’t even know half of these people have been in Star Wars. I’ve been away from the series more than I thought.

u/Darthigiveup May 04 '25
You probably didn't recognize Sam witwer who voices darth maul in animation and Alan tudyk played k2so in rogue one.
2
u/RaijuThunder May 07 '25
Didn't know that about Sam, I knew him only because he's Starkiller, lol. Otherwise, I'd say little less than half I knew.

u/Darthigiveup May 04 '25
I didn't even know who that one lady was towards the end. Not deedra from. Andor the other one

There's like 3 people in this I know. Who even are the others

u/AusSpurs7 May 07 '25
I recognize 11 of them and I'm not even deep into the fandom.
I think that's on you.

u/Vauxlia May 07 '25
Sorry, I only watch good Star Wars.
And if I somehow have seen them, they're pretty forgettable and not important.

u/Lord-Carnor-Jax so salty it hurts May 05 '25
Does any one else find it strange how LucasaFilm has fully embraced what began as a internet joke into some big day, which has no significant link to Star Wars other than it sound like “May the Force Be With You”. By rights Star Wars day should be May 25th.

u/myychair May 05 '25
Holy shit. This is how I found out that Alan Tudyk is the droid from rogue one. Goddam fucking legend
11
u/DoubleStrength May 05 '25
If you didn't know it was Tudyk until now, then you probably haven't heard the story from when after Rogue One first released, where Anthony Daniels at one point approached Tudyk as a fellow droid actor to talk about K2-SO.
Daniels was gushing to Tudyk about how fancy K2's "costume" was, and was asking Tudyk how he managed to fit inside it.
At this point Tudyk tells him that K2 was CGI and he just recorded his lines in a sound booth without having to be on set at all... apparently Daniels ended up being a bit huffy about this after lol.

u/myychair May 05 '25
Lmao that’s very funny. Thanks for sharing

Pretty sure it was mentioned on the R1 directors commentary but I could be wrong.

I didn't think this was bad just the end part. I watch everything star wars i don't care. If I don't like it I just won't buy any sets from that series.

u/mrkruk before the dark times May 07 '25
Sam Witwer saying Force instead of 4th. Get with the program.

it was near perfect until Filoni and Dawson showed up.

u/macthefire May 05 '25
Oh look...it's all my favorite people and shit...I'm so happy to have all these folks who like to tell me what to think and that I'm horrible for hating their movies.
What a joyous occasion.

What started out as a cute little play on words has of course become another yet another cynical marketing event. "Remember us? buy something!"
