Seriously, why can't some people leave well enough alone. Just makes me think of that south park episode.

hahahahaha

I hope one day I can build up a huge, loyal fanbase and then just fuck with them for the rest of my life.

27+ years on and he's still shitting all over Marcia Lucas' hard work.

Oh for FRAKS sake!!!!

To be honest, this sits in between the CGI Jabba the Hutt in A New Hope and the Hayden Christensen insert.

Only mildly offensive.

I think it's just him admitting there's no way in the world he can figure out how to write parts 7-9 without completely ticking off the entire universe.

a handful of the new changes for the blu-rays have purportedly leaked onto the youtube:

DarthVader's added NOOO
CGI Yoda in Ep I replacing the old doll used
Blinking Ewoks
Obi-Wan screaming away the sand people
Yet another Greedo/Han edit

reading some comments, i found this:
"People who alter or destroy works of art and our culture for profit as an exercise of power are barbarians" - George Lucas, 1988

As I've said once or twice before, I think George is definitely out to fuck his legacy over before he kicks the bucket.

I'm okay with CGI yoda in episode 1. because episode one is shit regardless

satsugaikaze · « **Reply #10 on:** 06 Sep 2011, 01:54 »

Holy shit the Phantom Menace Yoda was pretty atrocious.

There is no way Alec Guinness could have yelled like a horse being punched.

Total BS.

J · « **Reply #12 on:** 08 Sep 2011, 18:35 »

i can't confirm this, but apparently the reason obi wan dies in the first one is because george couldn't figure out anything to do with him in the third act. alec guinness told him to kill the character because it would provide an emotional punch for the audience and show how serious the situation was.

years later he allegedly admitted the real reason was so that he wouldn't have to read any more of george lucas' dialogue.

*sigh*

And once again, these edits are now the new "master" versions. Congratulations, there is no way of finding the unedited versions of 4-6 outside of VHS and Laserdisc.

JD · « **Reply #14 on:** 08 Sep 2011, 23:35 »

I assume you could torrent the somewhat unedited ones.

Something tells me that Lucas goes after torrents like a hungry carnivore and slaps DMCAs on those uploaders/seeders.

you can't keep a good torrent down.

in a similar story but with a better outcome, Spielberg has admitted he was wrong for making the changes to ET and will be taking out those walky talkies he put in the movie and give those FBI agents their guns back.

Well at least one of them is learning from his total fuckups.

And I was about to try and prove everyone here wrong by saying "But Lucas released the second standalone DVDs back in 2004 that clearly state both the theatrical and remastered versions are included!"

But apparently it is the re-release version, alongside the 2004 version. So you've got Star Wars circa 1997, and Star Wars circa 2004. Now we've got Star Wars circa 2011, and all we want is what hardly any of us actually SAW to begin with (I've certainly never seen the "originals").

I just want to know why Lucas is suddenly making Vader all aurally emotive. Pretty sure that killing the Emperor scene was good enough without saying "No" twice. Its ridiculous enough in Episode III, it doesn't need to be in my favourite Star Wars movie either.

Lucas just make the fucking TV series already and leave the films the fuck alone. You want to do with $1 million what you usually do with $20 millioin? Simple - scale it down, cut half the CGI shit, use some models and/or puppets (you used to be fairly good at that shit) and just get on with it instead of looking back at things that don't need changing.

RAGE LUCAS RAGE

PA predicted this shit back in 2004, and I thought they were joking...

Clearly they are future master time travelers, and I should pay them more attention for planning my life.

They've been right about George's potential madness more than twice. But as you said, whatever.

The trouble is, they keep letting him outta the padded cell.
