Winner! Piss on Lucas' hack ass. <pats LD Classic SW set>
the only thing I find odd about the rerelease of ep IV, is that they added all these fancy CG dinosaurs and storm troopers, but they leave the 'egg box' flyby of the deathstar, and the shitty explosion.
Surely they could have completely redone the death star attack in CG (at least the external shots) - look how gorgeous the x-wing flyby was.

Will, it's getting really, really, really, really old. We know your opinions on the PT. You've drilled it into us countless times in EVERY star wars thread. So stfu about it.
As far as the OT DVD release goes, yeah the only problem I really have is the boxed in fighters over a black space drop. I realize it's possible to adjust the tv settings so these are almost invisible, but in some scenes they just really blatantly stand out. I'm surprised these weren't fixed.
The green lightsaber doesn't bother me as much since it only stays that color for a couple frames and then slowly changes back to blue. Just blink a few times and hopefully you'll miss the huge goof up. :lol

Colorization, kinda like a special effect, is it not?
I just think if young George saw what old George is doing, he would kick his ass. But thats just my humble opinion.
What the hell's wrong with the re-colorization of the films? Return to them the same vibrancy that was seen by the people that originally saw them.
So they get some of the colors wrong, but it's better in spirit then watching faded ass film which isn't like the original anyway.
As for the improvements in the old star wars... well, really, the whole series is pretty rubbishy. The cool things are just the settings and designs and darth vader... the prequel trilogy didn't really introduce anything in the way of cool stuff, so that's why it loses completely.

Do you guys really not see the difference?
If Trent Reznor put some doo wop backup singers into "Head Like a a Hole" and supresses all original recordings (not technically possible but for reasons of argument), that is his right. You may not like it (as many people, including myself, do not like many changes in the Special Editions) and that is your prerogative.
If TVT Records or insterscope did the same thing, that's fucked up.
Go Go Ackman!

I am amazed on how people can be easily frustrated on stuff they think the filmmakers owe to them.
Personnally, I think that Ep 1 was ok, 2 was pretty good and 3 was the best of the first Trilogy. As entertainment values go, I felt my money wasn't wasted with these movies.
OMG the lightsaber is green! :lol Damn I love these forums.

well in one of lucas's original screenplay/scripts for RoTJ he has a side note about this about how Yoda is so moved by Anakin's change and redemption at the last minute that he absorbs his essense when he does and brings him back as a ghost for him

and not for nothing but Return of the Jedi was the worst out of all 6 of the star wars films
if anyone bitches about Hayden's acting and then has the balls to say RoTJ had good acting they need to lay off the crack, Carrie Fisher delivers one of the worst performances in a major motion picture ever in that movie, and fucking ewoks don't get me started on them, people hate on Jar Jar and then love ewoks, I would pay money for the next set of Super Special Amazing editions to have even more ewok death scenes

Harrison Ford is just terrible in Jedi too. You can tell he's just mailing it in. By the time that movie came out he was starting to become a big star and you can tell he really doesn't want to be in the movie much.
speaking of inconsistencies... i think im the only one who is perplexed by this:
In Return of the Jedi, Leia is talking to Luke about their mother "she was kind but sad" etc etc (thus his lead in to "you are my sister") and Luke goes on to say "I have no memory of my mother." (meaning that she's the sibling that grew up with her mother while he was tossed to other people)
But since Padme died, that would mean either A) she was talking about her step mother which would make that scene completely pointless (ie who gives a fuck if her step mother was sad?) or B) Lucas could explain it by bullshitting the force "uh the force made her remember her mother blah blah"
Anyone else notice this or please explain to me.

:lol Fisher's performance in Jedi is fine...oh why am I bothering, you're actually defending Hayden's acting(he did improve in EP3, though...). Also: Ewoks don't speak, therefore Ewoks >>>>>>>>>>>> Jar Jar.
P.S.: The whole saga has mediocre acting, especially the 4 films directed by Lucas, I wonder why...

ohh please Fishers performance is far far from fine, none of them even tried with return of the jedi it was like all of them were just reading their lines off a teleprompter
no ewoks make annoying sounds and noices instead of just speaking, how shitty was the troops the empire sent that fucking teddy bears stopped them

I disagree, Episode 4 has some of the best acting in all of them IMHO.

I should kill myself becuase of this horrible, horrible atrocity. No, seriously.

Really? I thought the acting in ANH was fucking horrible, especially Mark Hamill and (I might get hanged for this) James Earl Jones. The tone of voice and the way Vader speaks in ESB is SOOOOO improved from ANH it's not even funny. Ditto for Hamill. A change in the director's chair can do wonders.

I never saw ANH, ESB, or RotJ.
Sadly, when I see them this week, they will be the DVD versions so I guess I'll be missing out.
Maybe I'll get to appreciate them more.
Frankly, I don't give a shit, because I have no idea what's going on in this series. Hell, I completely forgot everything that happened in Episode I.

Totally agree on james earl jones actually. He sounded very.. i don't know. Like upper class royalty giving a thrashing to everyone. Starting in his low voice and hitting the high at the end of sentences. It just sounded so weird, and wasn't Darth Vader. ESB he rocked though.

I just noticed this when I went looking for the green lightsaber in the ANH DVD. I didn't think Vader sounded all that different or bad in Episode IV, but then I watched the scene when the dude is filling Vader in after the search of the Millennium Falcon. Vader says "Did you find any droids" in a gay English butler accent. I've seen this movie a thousand times, and that line never jumped out at me before as weird until now.

He certainly could have learned it from the Emperor in the twenty years not chronicled on film. The ability to become a ghost is never specified to be a power of the Light Side, and even if it is, Palpatine claims to be a master of all sides of the Force. Maybe he is.
Anyway, this is not an issue with the SEs only. Old Anakin appeared as a ghost in the original version of RotJ as well.

two pages and not a god damn screen cap? Come on guys.
Anakin was the chosen one..his gift was the ability to become immortal. Qui-Gon's gift for finding the chosen one was the ability to become immortal, in which he teaches yoda and obi-wan.
Becoming a ghost is only possible through the light-side. The sith never had the ability. Palpatine lied about it.

No, but it wasn't an issue until Revenge of the Sith implied that it was a skill that would take a great amount of time to master. When it was just the OT, it was no big deal. Force users disappeared upon death and could come back as Force ghosts. It just came with the territory.Jonnyboy117 said:
Come to think of it, did we ever get an explanation why Qui-Gon's body didn't disappear when he died, or hell, all Jedi except for Obi-Wan and Yoda? If this is related to the Force ghost skill, why wouldn't Qui-Gon's body disappear?
Bah, regardless of whether you enjoyed the prequels or not, you have to admit they've introduced an absolute shitload of inconsistencies with the way some OT events unfold or even arrive to being.
Please tell me this is stupid speculation and not a real explanation from somewhere. That's dumb as fuck. What, the Force spoke to Qui-Gon and gave him a new skill for discovering 'the Chosen One'? Bah.btrboyev said:
