Well it's seems that George Lucas is going ruin everything he touch now days once great is going down..

Hmm. All those "changes" seem a bit, odd. come on. Its bull****! And the Anakin footage seems faked to me atleast. His head moves too fast in comparison to the rest, indicating that the footage is from a interlaced shot instead of shot using film or digital film. and his reactions don't seem to fit with whats going on in the scene. But if all those changes are real, and that footage too, then... I shall be... Quietly disturbed. But for now, I shall wait and see.

They're replacing the dude who played Anakin with the younger version? How awful to edit the poor old guy out because he didn't 'fit'...

Is that the one where they make it good?

[IPAndrews]

More Jar Jars.

[Col. Fishguts]

maybe replace all the Gungans with CGI Ewoks ?

[Singh]

you know what..............im not even going to bother to watch this. my memories of Star Wars were good, I'd rather not defoil them with what they are doing now.

[Omniscaper]

The Vader unmasking still reveals a Sebastion Shaw and not a Hayden thank God. Its just in the ghost scene.

Continuity between the 6 movies, or a blatant COMMERCIAL for Episode 3 "Revenge of the Sith" placed in a KEY moment in Return of the Jedi. I think its the latter.

Why don't you guys just ignore him... I assume you have the originals on tape or on DVD or something... don't you?

There lies the problem, the original trilogy was never released on DVD. But every die-hard-StarWars-fanboi wants the original, untampered movies in hi-res-DVD-goodness.
And VHS is just ****ty quality

[Ghostavo]

I have video tapes with the 3 first (or are they last ) eps... It's not ****ty quality... If you think it is... well then... what do you think Lucas is trying to do?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Well **** you too then.

I'd written a long, balanced response to this, but the forum decided to bugger up when posting it.

you know, instead of changing the originals to fit into the continuity of the newer ones, why not just make the newer ones fit into the continuity of the older ones in the first place? it would cost a lot less and be a lot less work.

[StratComm]

Because that would actually make sense.  Never mind that the story that Lucas somehow thinks is most fitting completely screws over the old movies.  And besides, he has to come up with a way to get everyone to buy those movies yet again.  It'd be what, 4 releases of the same film, with the same potential audience?  He has to rehash it some or no one will buy the thing.

That's more or less what I tried to post. Along with the fact that there are already so many discrepancies between the originals and the new films, that any attempts to smooth the transition are a waste of time.

[Ghostavo]

Petrarch, I like you too!

Now, why won't Lucas focus on the project at hand (episode III) instead of making yet another rehash of a movie that has had more versions of it than one can count of?

[JR2000Z]

Do they have the originals on widescreen vhs?

I can just burn them onto a dvd....

[Omniscaper]

Doing that will just give you VHS quality DVD. You'll get the convenience of DVD with the lowres quality of VHS. I do like the idea of splicing Laserdisc footage into the DVD version of SW.

Yes, but then you could watch them on DVD and chuck out that old video player.......

[Col. Fishguts]

What resolution do Laserdisc movies have ? I never saw a LD player in real life.
