So is Lucas planning to release some uber DVD set with all 6 movies? Cause I have yet to pick up any of the Star Wars films, original or prequel and one whole set would be nice.

i think so, a prequel set, to compliment the original trilogy set and then a set with both within.

 

[BojTrek]

I think the Shak-Ti (spelling?) death scene would have made Grevious a better enemy and a reason for Obi-Wan to chase him down.

I think the Yoda landing scene would have added closure and dispair to the character...

Lucas sucks... I really hated these prequels... I have said it before and will say it forever... ALL PREQUELS SUCK... It is history we already know...

He should have done sequels with Luke, Han and Leia and made them in the passion of Star Wars and Empire Strikes and not kiddy like Return of the Jedi and Phantom Menace...

God Lucas sucks!

Hey! It's Lucas! Of course he will release one big set! Anyting to cash in. Probably won't be this year though. He'll wait to cash in next year so he can get double the sales of Revenge of the Sith!

Seriously though, can't wait to see some of the additions to the DVD. These look nice. Hpe there are more. I'll buy Sith when it comes out and then I'm done. Well, at least until the HD-DVD versions!

 

[DarienA]

Sweet a shot of Dagobah!

And you know reading the book Grevious is painted as this great Jedi killer... it should would have been nice to see that IN the movie so you had a better idea of how good he's suppose to be instead of just watching him flail and spin the blades... Darth Tyrannus would not be pleased with his showing against Obi-Wan...

What's going on with Anakin and Obi-Wan?

In the first picture, instead of giving up and being taken to Grievious they used their sabers to cut a hole into the deck and fall to the deck below. Which is filled with fuel, that's the 3rd picture. I totally forgot that they cut the fuel scene from the movie.

And nothing blew up? What kinda fuel is it?

 

[tedtropy]

Space fuel.

 

[Silent Death]

Well that was part of the scene. After they fell into the fuel. Anakin was about to ignite his saber and cut them out and Obi stops him and tells him they are standing in fuel, if he starts his saber it will blow them all up. Anakin does his "Oh sorry Master, routine," and they proceed to find another way out.

No sex scene, no buy.

The molten metal wouldn't have ignited it?

Oh wait. Right. Star Wars prequels. I answered my own question.

This is like bitching about the fact that almost any car shot in a movie blows up...

LOL...it sure looks like Anakin and Obi are frollicking in the pool.


Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

 

[eLGee]

:lol

 

[Dead]

These are re-inserted in the movie like the previous DVDs right?

 

[Geek]

If his scene wasn't written around the fact that lightsabers would ignite the fuel, it wouldn't seem so silly.

I'll stop trolling Star Wars prequel threads starting NOW.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

For The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, the main movie is on Disc 1, and the deleted scenes are part of the Disc 2 content. The exception I can remember is a short fly through part of the city after arriving in Coruscant in Episode I was put back in the movie.

 

[acidviper]

This is not the epic movie you were looking for. Move along.

 

[Zensetsu]

Yeah, Grevious was a complete badass in the clone wars cartoon mini series thing, as anyone who has seen it can testify.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

That FUEL effect looks extremely bad, It's probably an unfinished shot.

 

[typhonsentra]

Yeah, but it's not water anyway.

 

[El_Victor]

Yoda, why you bein' a playa hata, you know I must confront lord vader!

But Luke, not ready are you.

 

[Error Macro]

FORCE KISS

Where's the Qui-Gon Jinn Talking to Yoda scene?? Come ON!!

 

[DrForester]

Liam NEson wouldn't have anything to do with the rest of the prequels apparently.

AICN ripped them off from http://www.millenniumfalcon.com/ and claimed they were from some site called scifi.net.

Where's the Qui-Gon Jinn Talking to Yoda scene?? Come ON!!

He refused to record the dialog. Lucas wanted the scene so bad he had Ben Burtt record the dialog and attempt to modulate the audio to sound like Neeson, but it wouldn't work.

http://www.millenniumfalcon.com/ also posted an image of the CGI Yoda that they replaced the Stoned Yoda puppet in Episode I with, but AICN was too stupid to steal that as well:

neeson refused? why?

 

[ManaByte]

neeson refused? why?

Because he doesn't like any of the Star Wars movies. The only reason he did Episode I was so he could say he worked with Lucas.

[VistraNorrez]

I don't know if I believe that, because when 2 and 3 were in production, he always hinted that he might return.

And where did you hear this whole modulation Neeson thing. I wouldn't put it past Lucas, but come on, no way that would work.

Neeson wouldn't even say "Anakin, Anakin, NO!" for Episode II. Lucas had to use dialog from Episode I for that.

The modulation thing came from someone who leaked just about everything about the movie before it came out and I've personally met him and he does know what he's talking about. Lucas tried the modulation thing because he really wanted the scene in the movie but Neeson completely refused. The modulation worked with the teaser trailer where they made Hayden sound like Vader.

"Because he doesn't like any of the Star Wars movies. The only reason he did Episode I was so he could say he worked with Lucas."

7/12/00 - Liam Neeson told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica (reprinted by JediNet) that, although he won't be returning for Episode II, there is a very strong chance he would be for Episode III, though no details were given. For an idea of what that might entail, think of Sir Alec Guinness in Episodes V and VI.

As far as what was reported around Ep III it was a contractual dispute between Lucas and Neeson. Sorry fella, but your insiduh is wrong!

Towards the end of Clone Wars cartooons Grevious briefly faces Windu, who crushes his chest if I remember right... I assume that's why he's got his persistent cough in the movie and why he's considerably less formidable.

Actually, the only thing LFL said publically about it was "scheduling conflicts" and that was from Rick "Oompa Loompa" McCallum.

There's a difference between doing publicity and showing support for something rather than doing additional work. Politics compels people to make public appearances, but has no bearing on whether or not they will work with somebody again.

Most of the people in the Vanity Fair cover hate Lucas. If people think that the cast of Star Wars is all cozy with George, then I've got a BatBoy for you to try and catch.

Even Rick McCallum went on public record siting scheduling conflicts...

Additionally, Lucas wanted the scene so bad, he even had Ben Burtt do a VO and try to modulate it to match Neeson, but it just didn't work.

Look I don't give a shit what anyone else believes, but the truth is, even if Neeson was stuck in the mountains of Tibet for 6 weeks, he still coulda phoned in the VO. Besides, those lines are five hours of studio work AT BEST.

I really hope you're right, but from what I've been told by folks around town, is that Neeson's been doing the "publicity thing" only, and that he has no interest in further working with Lucas.

the bottom line is this:

Lucas tried to have Ben Burtt record the V.O. for that scene, because he desperately wanted it in the movie. No amount of digital modulation would work, so Lucas had it chopped (official Steve Sansweet quote).

This debate has nothing to do with running time choice. Now with Lucas wanting to cater to fans and having the ability to drop any amount a change on this very crucial V.O.


There's only two simple scenarios as far as I see:

Official Rick McCallum statement: Liam was busy and his schedule didn't permit the ADR session.

Result: Liam's voice will appear on the DVD, reincorporated into the film.

Unofficial: Liam has no desire to work on Star Wars again, either due to lack of interest, or dislike for Lucas and/or the franchise.

Result: No Qui-Gon as portrayed by Liam anywhere on DVD

Towards the end of Clone Wars cartooons Grevious briefly faces Windu, who crushes his chest if I remember right... I assume that's why he's got his persistent cough in the movie and why he's considerably less formidable.

Yup.

Can you provide a link for any of that?

 

[soundwave05]

You know, I didn't like Episode I either, and I can understand Neeson being dissapointed with the movie (apparently he didn't have much fun filming it either) ... but to not come in record 30 seconds worth of dialouge is just so fucking petty on Neeson's part.

The other thing I don't get is Neeson apparently was willing to fly down to Lucas' ranch for the Vanity Fair Star Wars cover magazine shoot last spring, but he couldn't record a little bit of dialouge? Jeez.

I dunno, but I think that's really low on Liam's part.

 

[Tritroid]

Dagobah being included rawks beyond belief. It SHOULD have been in the theatrical.

As far as the Qui-Gon scene goes, I personally believe the way they portrayed it came off seriously bad and more like an after thought than anything else. It was way too: "Oh, by the way". Even if they had a different actor than Neeson doing the voice I wouldn't have complained. At least it would have been something.

 

[ManaByte]

McCallum spoke about "scheduling conflicts" with Neeson in the Star Wars Insider magazine, IIRC (or it could've been Hyperspace). The "scheduling conflicts" was that Neeson was on a glacier in Iceland filming Batman and couldn't take 30 minutes to pick up a phone and say a couple lines of dialog.
