This doesn't have a topic yet why?
Dispite George's best effort to rape this beloved franchise dry i never get sick of watching Empire Strikes Back (It's far better then Return IMO).

I often wonder how "Return" would rank if Harrison Ford got his way and Han Solo died at the end.

Well if i had my way Han would have died back on Mos Eisley when Greedo clearly shot him first.

And I wonder how Return would have ranked if Spielberg had directed it, like he should have.

For the re-release, all of the guns the Stormtroopers had will be replaced by walkie talkies.

I was irritated when I bought the Star Wars trilogy on DVD and in Return they replaced Anakin's ghost with Hayden fucking Christensen. That's not fair just because he turned evil and shit that he gets an eternally young ghost while Obi-Wan Kenobi is forever Alec Guinness.

I thought a LOT of the DVD changes were retarded. Empire's my favorite as well and for them to add the conversation between Vader and the Emperor explaining Luke being his son. . .unforgivable. Although we all know the facts, in this movie it was supposed to be a "cliffhanger" of sorts.
"How I originally intended it to be". . .bah fuck-bug.
Also in changing Boba Fett's voice and the spirit as you've mentioned. . .all changes that piss me off. Goddamn Lucas. . .not even offering the "real" versions anymore.

Yes, Boba Fett is now voiced by Temuerra Morrison (Jango Fett)
I guess since he's a clone n' all. . .Phukkers.

Goddamnit, I try not to think of that shit when I watch the original Star Wars. In my mind Boba Fett is still a caucasian. I'm not racist, it's just how I've always pictured him in my head.
Okay, I'm a racist too.

Man there goes another check on my list why the new versions sucks ass. Thank god I still have the originals on VHS and have stashed away replacement VCRs.

11-11-2008, 04:04 PM
Replacement VCR's? That is plural as in you have stashed more than one VCR?....Because in teh appocolypse you will be able to watch poor quality movies, yeah for you!

They may be crappy quality but at least it is the original Star Wars in all its glory!!!
or you could just buy the dvd versions that have the original unedited trilogy on the second disc...

My DVD versions only have the edited recreated crap. The whole set was poorly put together. Only a single sheet of artwork inside with the chapter names for each DVD.

I hate that Lucas keeps rebundling this shit...Come ON!
It always makes me laugh when people BITCH about the lack of "artwork" that comes with a DVD. Why the fuck do you care so much about artwork? It's a movie for fuck sakes, you're not buying a collection of paintings.

I wasn't aware they're released those. Lucas swore never to make the originals available again as they're not as he'd intended. Course the bastard is full of lies.
....and corporate sperm. . .

On Blu-Ray. The prequels edited because they weren't as Lucas originally intended. The technology just wasn't there.
I'm actually surprised to be seeing Clone Wars coming out on Blu-Ray before the actual movies. I understand it's a piece of crap filler (read: long pilot episode) but still. . .

I am in the same boat Skybase. I had to have a look and sure enough they are available although I am not going to purchase the set again since I already have 4 copies of 4-6 already.
Skybase
11-11-2008, 04:17 PM
I'm right near there. And honestly haven't been totally happy with ANY of the collections. I'd just expect so many more special features as well. Guess that's just cuz Lucas treats them as such epic creations himself.
Blu-Ray releases (when they finally come) had BETTER take full advantage of the technology. I expect to see a shitload of special features, and new updates frequently. This would be my final purchase of the movies, as much as I hate to go buy them yet again in the first place.

I bet YOU don't even know what you're talking about most of the time.

It was a piece of crap...They tried to make a kiddie movie, my 6 year old loved it. I was squirming in my seat, trying not to throw shit at the screen.
I have no intention of buying them again, regardless of how awesome the Bluray set may be

Me neither and the only reason I purchased ep. 1-3 was so I had the whole collection. Maybe when I have children they might enjoy those three otherwise they sit on my shelf and collect dust.

I paid money too see Clone. I knew it wasn't gonna be pretty but geeez, you CAN make a childrens movie that adults could enjoy (ie Pixar) but they stooped so low with that FUCKING baby Hut they rescued... it was horrid!
I liked 1-3. Fuck all you haterz. Y'all create something better or STFU
and who's fucking brilliant idea was it to give anakin an apprentice?

Oh that's right. .I'd forgotten.
I also forget that Lucas used to be a decent person.
Ziro was originally going to speak Huttese (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Huttese). George Lucas (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/George_Lucas) stepped in and specifically asked for Ziro to sound like Truman Capote (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truman_Capote).

There's some pretty cool fan DVD shit out there if you're a total SW nerd (like me). There's actually some super-dedicated nerds working on cleaning and enhancing the original versions frame-by-frame to create something much better than the non-anamorphic laser disk transfers that Lucas tried to pass of to people as the unedited versions. Other people have created edits using both the new versions and old versions edited together or laid on top of each other. There's also edits of the new trilogy that are much better than the ones Lucas made (albeit it's like spraying polyeurathane on turds). There's even an edit of Ep 3 where they super-imposed Qui-Gon's ghost into the end and pieced together soundbites from Liam Neeson, among other things. It actually looks somewhat professional.
Skybase

I may have to look into this sort of thing again. I loved some of the old Fan movies I'd seen. so fan edits would probably be quite interesting as well.
