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.

Corn on... the corn cob!

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!

Ooh, I'm jealous! I'd love to perform some orchestral Star Wars one day...

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)

probably the 20th anniversary? I guess we can expect this every 5 years..

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

This is still the movie I have seen in theaters more than any other. We were THAT hard-up for new content after the post-ROTJ fallow years. Shit, I thought THIS had some rewatch value to it.

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.
