The biggest  thing I hate about the added scenes in ANH is that the '97 CGI sticks out like a bantha in a ewok cannibal party. I mean, some of the poorer quality '77 shots are fine as they were all made with the same restrictions of the time. But when you add poor-quality CGI stuff in to the film all suspension of disbelief is lost.

Oh, and this site proves you the DVD's aren't quite that high-quality as you would think:

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.

...buh? Those aren't DVD changes. They're the special edition changes. I still have the VHS boxset of those.

i have the first revision, the one where they just added new misc scenes and cleaned up some stuff. From '98 or somthing.

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

What can I say? I like the classic Star Wars, which, although a B-movie in every sense of the term, was a classic and well-done B-movie. The additional special effects and additions distract you from the actual storyline and clash with the original film.

Ransom, to tell you the truth I don't really care where the changes are from. I just honestly don't like them.





And Han shot first.

[Unknown Target]

I have the VHSs - which are probably worth something by now, but anyway, if you want a DVD Star Wars experience but don't want the horror of the "Intended Version," just get the anniversary edition Star Wars

And anyway, does anyone else think that Lucas is trapped in the 1930s? The guy is too busy paying "homages" to all the old Buck Roger shows (which are absolutely **** if you've seen them), with all they're multicolored rayguns with big rings around the barrel, than to actually make something cool.

I think you will find that the Light Sabre luke is given is the last one that Anakin will lose before constructing his own under the Emperors tutelage. You may see some sort of explanation in Revenge of the Sith. Wait and see what colour Anakin's schwartz is and see if was genetically passed on

And you leave Buck Rodgers alone, the show may have been crap but the babes were pretty damn fine for the time

That guy needs help.



































Who volunteers?

Cyan. It's even stranger that Anakin used the exactly same lightsabre in Episodes II and III, but it's BLUE.

[Mongoose]

Right on, Sandwich.

Edit:  Look at that X-wing model he's working on.  Imagine that thing in the Star Wars mod.

Maybe, but he's such an excellent artist I can forgive him

One thing that really disturbs me is that the entire starfield has been replaced. Seen left at top is the starfield on the DVD, below is the starfield seen on the Definitive Edition and Widescreen Laserdiscs.

There's only one fix - repainting the entire starfield, star at a time, by hand.


This was truly maddening. I didn't take the time to count as I was doing the painting, but there were tons of stars at various sizes. It took two solid days, but in the end, it lines up star for star with the original plate.

"ah, i see your schwartz is as big as mine....let's see how well you 'handle' it "

if you're talking about me, thanks mongoose.

Darkwarrior's would actually make it into the SW TC, though.

[redsniper]

he wasn't talking about you Cobra, sorry.

[karajorma]

Seems Lucas' "Intended Version" is just a bit off

Judging from the prequels Lucas' intention was to make a vibrant universe and then cock it up. Looks like the DVD is doing what he intended.

[WMCoolmon]

I dare someone to put that X-wing model into Freespace 2.

If I remember correctly, the model on the site is the low-poly version. The high-res version has much more bevelled edges. Yes, he's a pro

[WMCoolmon]

...

I double-doggie-dare someone to put the high-poly version into FS2.

And then use Bobb's animation code to make the S-Foils move. :devil:

And make R2 a BFRed turret.

[redsniper]

so once we're done scraping our molten processors and video cards out of our computers what do you want us to do?

[Cobra]

uh, whose Xwing are you talking about? the guy who's working on the restoration?
