Lucas is finally going to release the original unaltered Trilogy on DVD in Sept. Of Course its going to be limited time thing, cause god knows everyone loves the newer ones better and these probably won't sell very well. He's just being the bigger man and putting it out there for the fans...ASS!

I'm in such disbelief. I would not believe it if it was anywhere but on the official St*r WarzzZZ website... yet here it is. Amazing. Simplay amazing. I can't wait.

Rama · « **Reply #2 on:** May 04, 2006, 12:06:08 AM »

Despite my bitchiness towards Lucas, the sell out, I'm pretty happy about this too. And none too soon the Original Trilogy was starting to look like Michael Jackson's face.

Evil Monkey-Tom · « **Reply #3 on:** May 04, 2006, 12:13:28 AM »

I will proudly own both.

Honestly I'll prob just make my own cut of the DVD, slicing out the special edition Greedo scene and adding in the original. That, and perhaps returning Boba Fett's voice would be all I would change. I thought I would hate the new Emperor scene, but I really didn't.

Chopper Face 69 · « **Reply #4 on:** May 04, 2006, 05:56:08 AM »

I may throw out the new discs but I'm really much less upset about the rerelease now that the original is going to be available again. It just doesn't matter how much it's butchered so long as we can just choose not to watch it.

Anyway... does anyone see George's name anywhere on that press release? Hm...

I still believe Lucus stole the idea of St*r WarzzZZ from someone. He might have even killed for it.

blanktoe · « **Reply #6 on:** May 04, 2006, 12:25:08 PM »

I can't justify owning or buying 4 copies of the same damn movie. I don't know if George Lucas is a marketing genius or a hellspawn sent to earth to bankrupt fanboys.

That was Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

For you suckers who paid for the first DVD release, each movie comes with the 2004 special special edition and the original theatrical version.

Just thought I'd rub it in.

Haha. Yeah. I've got a bid on for the bonus disc from the 2004
set (why are we calling it 2004?) which is at this point the only thing from that that I could ever care to watch.

Wondering how the picture quality will be. George said that there were no good versions of the original movies out there on film which I assume to be crap. Still I will assume there will be little work done to restoring the original movies as all that was put into the new versions which, although I hate them, really look spectacular.

Overall I am not too phased by the 2004 DVD release, except the pinkification of Vader's saber. But the cleanliness made me exasperate.

Of the OT, I already own the original versions on VHS, the remastered orginal versions on VHS, the special editions on VHS and the 2004 special special editions on DVD.

Will I buy another set? Of course not.

Chopper Face 69 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 04, 2006, 05:30:40 PM »

Hayden Christenson's ghost and the Gungan cheering "wesa free" were what really did me in. In retrospect it really doesn't matter though.

Evil Monkey-Tom · « **Reply #14 on:** May 04, 2006, 06:24:22 PM »

Ah, yeah, another thing I'd cut out when I'd make my own version of the DVD.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #15 on:** May 04, 2006, 06:57:03 PM »

"weesa Free"...

Never noticed that, Kodak...

Chopper Face 69 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 04, 2006, 07:20:33 PM »

I like to imagine it's not Jar Jar but... yeah it's pretty likely it's him.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #17 on:** May 04, 2006, 08:03:04 PM »

I like to think that Jar-Jar was on Alderaan when it blew up...

Evil Monkey-Tom · « **Reply #18 on:** May 04, 2006, 08:24:45 PM »

I don't. I wanna think Vader cruised down to Naboo when the Empire took it over, and personally beheaded him. Then he let the Jawas skulfuck the head. Yeah, that's great.

Rama · « **Reply #19 on:** May 04, 2006, 11:28:00 PM »

Jar-Jar spent his time after episode 3 teaching the Millenium Flacon's computer how to communicate. He then died one tragic night when Chewy got in the mood for frog legs.

Evil Monkey-Tom · « **Reply #20 on:** May 05, 2006, 12:31:14 AM »

Would you really wanna eat him?

Rama · « **Reply #21 on:** May 05, 2006, 01:21:03 AM »

No...but I'm not Chewy.

Ha ha!

There's something else for you to save up for Merla. "Limited time." Bah. Just like the damn Disney vault.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #23 on:** May 05, 2006, 01:07:52 PM »

I HATE the goddamn Disney Vault...

When I finally felt like buying Toy Story 1 & 2 after their initial DVD release, they closed the vault on them...and when they re-released them last year, I no longer gave a shit...

spooie · « **Reply #24 on:** May 05, 2006, 06:42:40 PM »

They just put out a new trailer for the original Trilogy...

You should be thankful the Disney vault is saving you money.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #26 on:** May 06, 2006, 01:04:56 AM »

Yeah...I'll drink to that.

B E C K · « **Reply #27 on:** May 06, 2006, 01:15:03 AM »

See. And to think the money for that drink could've gone to such gems as Bambi 2 and Cinderella 912.

MegatronYES · « **Reply #28 on:** May 06, 2006, 01:17:17 AM »

The only things that bug me are........ the goddamn Greedo-sho0ts-first-and-misses-at-point-blank-range-instead-of-trying-to-collect-on-the-bounty-that-he-was-there-to-get-Han's-head-displaces-itself-looks-unprofessionally-done scene, and three that should have been improved upon that were not, the rancor, the slimy sewer thing, and the frame skip when Luke turns on the saber that once belonged to Anakin. I mean, why spend all this time on stuff no one even noticed before, and not fix stuff that's looked severely dated for well over a decade?

B E C K · « **Reply #29 on:** May 06, 2006, 01:26:06 AM »

Because those things were apparently part of Lucas' grand imageomG~~!!!1111
