Awesome, I reached the end of the thread again!! :D

On topic discussion: What are the odds of a disc replacement program for ROTJ?

Again, whats annoying here is that once R2 is out, the rocks that were covering him are gone.

Makes you wonder why we haven't seen TPM, doesn't it? At at least I wonder.

Maybe R2 blasted it to Mos Eisley.

Please tell me those "No's" added to right before Vader picks up Palpatine are fake. That scene was PERFECTION and always gave me goosebumps. Now it is utterly cringeworthy. I will accept Hayden at the end of Jedi and Greedo shooting first if it meant that Vader's redemptive moment was left alone.

Ewok eye blinks? New Jabba door? Ruining a once perfect dramatic moment? And yet, the one thing that is glaringly obvious and most people were praying for, consistent lightsabers, has been ignored yet again for this release. Lucasfilm's actions are mind boggling.

You can clearly tell that when R2 is out of the cave (bottom pic), the rocks above his left leg are CGI.

We would need to have a ANH disc replacement program just as desperatly, if not moreso to get those saber and matte lines fixed like they promised they'd fix.

Most people want the Original Trilogy, so the groups working on these rips will release the OT first, before worrying about Episodes I, II and III. I'd expect rips of the prequels to hit later today.

Well, it just donned on me, Lucas probably made these changes so we would all talk about that instead of *****ing about the fact that he didn't give us a new transfer..

Sadly, the odds are about as good as, say, getting the UOT on blu-ray before Lucas kicks the bucket. :(

Or his daughter for that matter. Double :( :(

There are three sets available, the rips could just be from someone who only had access to the OT set

Zero. This is "Jedi" as Lucas now sees it.

Please, please, please I hope the rumours of the "Nooooo!" in RotJ are not true. I think this would be the worst of all Lucas' changes for me. I agree with the above quote that this is worse than Greedo shooting first and Hayden at the end of Jedi. Oh man I hope this is not true.

Had been talked about at length in hear since the sets were aunnnounced

I fear Star Wars under Katie Lucas. Her father refuses to the listen to the fanbase but Katie Lucas? She outright loathes anyone who says a bad word about her father and trashes them on Twitter. She is far more vindictive of a Lucas than her father.

Expect the worst when George kicks the bucket, Katie holds a clear grudge against those who trashed her dad.

The 1 star negative reviews are flooding onto Amazon.com:

They've shrunk our favourite droids to increase the scale of the shot. It must be the Rancor's entrance or Hutt's must really get big....

Because the original version is sacred. :rolleyes:

Remember what that soldier played by Forest Whitaker says in Platoon: "I don't know, brothers...but I'm hurtin' real bad inside."

There's no logical reason why changes like "No" should hurt the trilogy anymore than the myriad of other ridiculous changes.

And yet...and yet...

I have to believe this is a joke. It plays like a joke. A very cruel one.

And that Krayt Dragon yowl? It resembles a sound I made dancing on top of a parked car in my underwear on a moonlit night few weeks ago.
