Seems they had some color quality issues

Just found this out as I was watching the DVD.

[Taristin]

wtf are those little things in the bottom right corner?

[Flipside]

It's the chess pieces in the millenium falcon, however, the way they are coloured, they look more like the Muppet chorus line

[WMCoolmon]

Luke has a damn nice Lightsabre.

[Ford Prefect]

That's what she said.

[phatosealpha]

I assume you mean the incorrect coloring of the lightsaber?  I'm pretty sure Luke's ANH saber is blue.

[Grey Wolf]

Exactly. He doesn't get a green lightsabre until the very end of The Empire Strikes Back, after his father's (and his hand) fall from Cloud City.

[Ford Prefect]

He had the best opportunity to kill Vader when he gave himself up on the Endor moon. All he had to do was build a trick lightsaber that opens at the wrong end, then when Vader turns it on to inspect his son's magnificent handiwork, he BBQs himself.

@Ford

Err.... as far as the "intended" version goes... I'm not watching it. Everything I've heard about it just makes me sadder and sadder...

[Carl]

errr...maybe the special atmosphere in the millenium falcon turns green when it's heated by something as hot as a lightsaber.

[delta_7890]

Or maybe Lucas just ****ed up big time.

[Bobboau]

no... NO!!! Lucas  is God!

Same here.  I have the original VHS versions; that's good enough for me.

[Cobra]

lucas didn't do it, it was the restoration.

Mongoose: The VHS is all you want? you have no idea what you're missing.

[Carl]

yeah, like all the dinosaurs he added!

[Grey Wolf]

I wouldn't have gotten the DVDs if my VHS copy wasn't on its last legs. I'm just generally not impressed by the changes, especially the truly pointless ones.

[Cobra]

my VHS copies are in mint condition.

how can you say that about the changes? the special effects and ships don't look as crappy, and all that other junk.

[Ford Prefect]

But... but... his schwartz is green!

[Grey Wolf]

Let's see, negative changes from Episode IV:
-They ruined the Krayt Dragon roar that Obi-Wan uses.
-Mos Eisley is now populated by retarded looking dinosaurs.
-Replacement of the wolf man with the wierd reptilian thing (the wolf man, though cheaper, looked better)
-Greedo still shoots
-Gratuitous Boba Fett shot at the end of the Jabba scene.

Advantages would be the nicer color quality, with Luke's training period excluded, the lightsabres, and the Biggs scene.

On the ships, I'm sort of ambivalent. They look better, but in some scenes they just seem a bit off.

[Cobra]

you..are...an...INFIDEL. if you like Episode IV, you wouldn't want the scenes and additions cut out.

the old krayt dragon roar was crappy, the new one was better.
