The year - 2117. Conventional 2D and 3D movies have become more something of a curiosity - something from the previous century. Even state of the art holographic projections have gone the way of the 8-Track as now, for the last fifteen years, the standard is Full Dimensional Reality Entertainment (FDRE). Similar to the "holo-decks" of 20th century science fiction, FDREs offer a true escape from reality.
It was just announced last week by the CEO of Skywalker Corp, Darthaniel G. Lucas, that Star Wars, the 20th century films series, would be released to FDRE on May 4th, 2118. This new "special edition" will incorporate more of the wishes of Darthaniel's ancestor, George Lucas, which was left in a binding will agreement after his death almost 100 years ago. "It is going to be fantastic!" Darthaniel was quoted as saying, "Finally something that my family can be proud of- what George wanted all along".
When asked about releasing the original movies in FDRE, Darthaniel was quoted as saying, "I know there are a subset of fans who would like to see the VERY ORIGINAL movies as they were produced in the 20th century, but we want to stress, these were work prints and that all fans should be happy that these FDRE will be so close to the original story!" Regardless, the purists still complain, ever since 2069 when the last original actor was removed from the films, being replaced with a new and improved digital actor.
Mark Hamil IV, a representative of HAG (Human Actors Guild), was quoted as saying, "Film history is being erased as we speak. Except for the hidden copies on DigitalHyperDef or HoloHD [which were outlawed in 2014 by the DMCA], whatever winds up in FDRE IS the new history - despite what happened before. Do you know that there still people who refuse to believe that Rocky Balboa (Rocky movies I-XLVII) was NOT a robot in the original films? Unbelievable!"
