The incomparable number 490, December 2019.

Welcome back everybody to The Incomparable.

I am your host, Jason Snellan.

And in this episode, we're going to do something a little bit different.

I kind of considered this the sequel to the episode we did when Disney bought Lucasfilm,

which was a long time ago now, but the incomparable has been around for even longer.

And that was a fascinating episode where we kind of couldn't believe it, and they announced

that they were going to do new Star Wars movies and all of that.

This is kind of like that, and now we're not going to actually talk about a particular work, but I do want to talk

about Star Wars.

And I want to specifically talk about the problem of the original trilogy and its very many

different versions.

And I want to talk with my panelists about what we think might be the right

way out of this predicament that Disney and Lucasfilm and Star Wars and movie lovers find themselves

in where there is not one version of some of the most influential movies of the 20th century.

So we're going to talk about what Disney could do with the original

Star Wars movies. And anything goes, I suppose, but I just kind of want to talk through all

the issues involved here. And if we want to list, this is not a grievances of the special

editions draft, but if you want to mention your grievances, it's fine. It's almost

festivus. I'm going to let you get out your titanium pole and list your grievances.

Joining me to talk about what Disney might do with Star Wars are the following wonderful people.

You heard her laugh. Kelly Gamont, hello.
