Oh, and did anyone else catch Star Wars - Empire of Dreams on A&E last night? Great documentary! It's the 2 hour doc that will come with the DVD release.

I also heard that Lucas replaced all blasters with walkie talkies.

I did, it was quite good.
I didnt realize that Lucas was not the director of the last two movies.

Yup, I saw it. Liked it so much I watched it twice.
I especially like the concept art created to sell it to the studios.
Wish I could get my hands on some.

Btw, if I'm not wrong, I think the special on A&E only showed about 3/4 of the entire documentary, so there's more to see on the discs.

Alright, let me clarify something.
The DVD will have:
A) Original untouched version
B) Special Edition (fucked) version
C) Newer Specialer (fuckeder) version

Cool.

Are you sure? Cause I havn't heard this.
OFFICIAL SITE mentions nothing of this.

Are you asking for clarification on what the DVD will have? Because it's C. There are no other versions in the box set. Your only choice (?) is widescreen or fullscreen.

I think it's funny to see all the people who shouted that the image was fake, when we now know it's horribly, horribly real.

I was just about to say the same thing. :lol:

You know, I've never had a serious problem with any of the changes Lucas made until this one. When I found out about this one, I was actually upset about it.

Then I read some person's reaction to it after he watched the DVDs and he convinced me that even THIS change is OK.

Nonetheless, for those of you who want the ORIGINAL versions on DVD.....it's out there....if you know where to look ;)

ok another subject.. granted they remixed and redid the ending or RoTJ .. the death star goes up.. bam cheering and WTF!!?? all over the galaxy even on cousaunt they are pulling the emperors statues down?

ok granted news travels fast but wtf.. that planet was doing good granted the emperor was a bitch and a half.. the other pep in charge would hold that planet in an iron fist for as long as they could.. damn i miss my ewok dance mix party at the end..

oh and yeah.. they will replace ani's head with a younger one at the end.. sigh go search starwars.com too many have the answer..

If you play with anything long enough, it will break. George, put the movie down and back away before we have to play with you long enough.

aarrgghh! Its not a fake after all.

When is a classic not a classic? when Lucas gets the mess about with his old films.

Also does anyone think that he will release the orginals, ever??

please say he will.

Note to self: Confirm Sources of Information as Being Valid.

Yeah, Lucas still sucks ass and didn't release the non-fucked versions.
Looks like I'm sticking to LaserDisc.

I was actually more upset to have the Ewok's "Nub yub echop nub yub" song omitted than the Anikin edit. When I was in school, marching bands would play this and break into the song. It totally kicked ass. Now... gone. :(

I loved that song, as well.

Rrripppp! Excised right out... :|

i dont like the changes that much either. what sucks tho is the temura morrison voice over for boba fett. i always liked the original voice. lucas should've been making the prequels to fit the old trilogy, not the other way around.

No, I didnt realize they removed THE song... Bastard

I'm reading this thread and realized something. The DVD's have been out for a few weeks now. Haven't bought them yet. Honestly not sure if I will. I still consider myself a huge Star War fan but I can't bring myself to like the last two movies. And I absolutely detest the changes to the originals.

Oh well, at least I can still look forward to KOTOR II.

Even though we were good fans and put him in the lofty position he's in today, he doesn't care what we say. He'll do it HIS way. Bastard. Nice way to return a favor ; butcher what we loved.

Yeah, that's been changed since the Special Edition theatrical release. It's my least favorite change of al the changes made to the original trilogy.

hmm,maybe it is real,but i don't thin so.i don't think that episode 3 will take place on endor.by the way:does anyone know when the first teaser for episode 3 will be released?

A full trailer will be released in November, hop on over to www.theforce.net for a description of what to expect, obviously there are heaps of fucking spoilers, I'm talking huge shit if you know nothing about Ep3 thus far.
