I don't think it's changed, at least not since the first star wars movie. He wasn't much involved in empire strikes back and he wanted ROTJ to be pretty much a mix of ESB and a kids movie; "Movies.com: Us fans bitch and moan and gripe whenever George Lucas starts messing with Star Wars again, but is that something effects…
What about 5.1/7.1 sound? Closed captions? Alternate audio tracks (languages)? Video artifacts? Bandwidth usage? Lol, media war fight. Also keep in mind that not everyone is super broadband bound for net-streaming an HD movie. You certainly can't pull this streaming digital HD movie preaching onto Australia for example.…
Greevar, question: if seeders get a discount, and leechers have to pay extra, then who pays a regular amount? edit: by the way, i fall into the catagory of; i don't currently own a star wars box set and only have one movie on disc. i would have liked to have gotten the full set on blu-ray, just to have the set. but if he's…
Yeah there is so many plot lines that take place after Jedi. The new Jedi Academy, the cloning of the emperor, Mara Jades plot line, Han and Leias' kids. My god there is a lot of choices. I honestly can't blame Lucas for retiring. I love Star Wars. Hate a lot of the changes but in the end it is his baby. It's his choice to…
@almighty_gir: I'm pretty sure Lucas has considered remaking the OT ;) I can relate to how your kid and his friends feel though. When I watched the prequels I didn't feel any nostalgia or connection to the OT at all, it just felt like a different universe altogether. Has anyone seen the Ewok movies? To me those movies feel…
i've had at least 3 different versions of Star Wars on VHS since the 80s and they've all had different soundtracks. Aunt Beru having a totally different voice, dialogue changes ("it's secure"/"the doors locked"), SFX changes, and so on. i think it's ace that the films are still a living thing after nearly 35 years edit -…
Sorry for the necro but here are some news; http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/magazine/george-lucas-red-tails.html?_r=2&pagewanted=all "Im retiring, Lucas said. Im moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff." "Lucas seized control of his movies from the studios only to discover that…
The pre-1997 changes were very small - such as adding 'A New Hope' to the scroll at the beginning of Star Wars (1977). Other small changes were in the editing (straight cuts instead of wipes/fades, and vice versa), different Tie Fighter sounds, etc. The 1997 Special Editions changed characterizations - Greedo Shooting…
I'm pretty much convinced Lucas is trolling at this point; these new additions are so unbelievably bad. Maybe he's getting back at his fans for all the prequel hate he's gotten since 1999. At least these tweaks will spawn an new series of hilarious internet memes for us to laugh at. The last version of the films I bought…
Not the only one. I'm so sick of star wars, and all of it's spin offs, they could replace all the actors with talking assholes and I couldn't care less. I don't mean anything against the fans of the series, I've just had this whole thing spoiled for me by having to live with a super fan. The originals were fantastic, and…
