Come to think about it, without the PT, you can still argue the validity of that revelation.

I like how Lucas was worried back in the day how Kiddies would take the reveal.

And a Psychologist told him that any kid that couldn't handle it would simply assume that Vader was lying.

Not the exact quotes. But it is interesting to note how Lucas worried about stuff like that even back then.

To throw my hat into the rating ring:

1.) ROTJ. Never had a problem with the Ewoks, and I don't undestand all the hate really. Yeah, they are silly, but they are eons better than Jar Jar. I must of seen this 10 times in the theater with my dad, I was 8 in '83.
2.) Star Wars. I was 2 in '77 and this was the first show my folks ever took me to, I don't remember it obviously.
3.) This was tough, but ESB. I know this is the best to many, but over the years, I've come to find this movie kind of drags on to me, I don't know why. My 6 year old loves this movie, it's her favorite SW.
4.) Could of been 3, but RotS. I thought this was on level with the originals. It was crammed and things were rushed for time, but it was great. I still don't buy Anakin's turn, but oh well.
5.) AotC. Parts of this one drag on too, the dialog is bad, the whole "love" story of Anakin and Padme is a disaster.
6.) Phantom Menace. Remove Jar Jar and you still got that kid left! I enjoy most of the scenes with Neeson and McGregor though, and the end Jedi battle is great.

I don't buy that. Considering Luke Skywalker's whiny as hell... especially in ANH.

And doesn't even have the backstory to support it. He just was an ungrateful brat. Owen should have smacked him around.

I am aswell, i must watch it ASAP....i guess everyone has atleast one "big" movie they haven´t seen.

And regarding how i got it..i made a sweet deal by smoothtalking someone. Got the full set for 30$. But even with that price i dont know how im gonna catch up with all the releases that are coming in sept/oct.

In the 9/11-9/17 Target ad, the Complete Saga is listed for $79.99.

I dunno...Obi-wan's kids would be pretty strong with the force too...

It never even crossed my mind that Vader might be lying. He said "No, I am your father." and I totally believed him. I never had a doubt he was telling the truth. Am I the only one?

Jurrasic Park and Titanic here.

I hear good things though.

Can someone who ordered the complete saga on the USA version of Amazon tell me what it says for the expected delivery date? For me it's saying September 27?? I ordered it on January 6 with prime 2 day shipping. Delivery date should be the 16th but it says the 27th for me?

I searched my feelings and knew it to be true.

You can bet that Amazon will pm and lower their price .

[Beast]

I can't really think of any major films that I haven't seen yet. Not any that I really want to.

I haven't seen Thor or Green Lantern yet. But that's only because I missed them in the theaters.

Question, and I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but has Lucas ever made changes to the prequels that made it worse, (whereas CGI Yoda is a good change)? If he hasn't I don't see why he wouldn't make changes over the years. He'll never think it's perfect as a whole.

He's changed and tweaked the Prequels as well with each release. But most people don't tend to complain about those.

I hope we hear some news soon about what tweaks AotC and RotS recieved for the Blu-Ray release.

From the DVD Release:

[Show spoiler]Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace DVD Release

Sebulba's subtitles during his enraged talk with Anakin originally read, "You won't walk away from this one, Skywalker... you slave scum!" For the DVD, "Skywalker" was removed from the subtitle, since Sebulba does not actually say Anakin's last name in the scene.

Watto's celebratory cry of "Sebulba!" is removed.

The podracing sequence is extended. Such enhancements include a scene with Anakin facing off with Gasgano, Anakin losing one of his engines, only to recover it, and more.

The air taxi sequence is reincorporated.

Orn Free Taa's human aides are replaced by Twi'leks.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones DVD Release

Several speeders were removed from a shot during the Bounty Hunter pursuit scene.

New dialogue was added to the scene where Anakin confesses to the Tusken slaughter.

After Padmé falls out of the gunship on Geonosis, a clone trooper asks if she is all right. Her alert response of "Yes" has been changed to a more realistically groggy "Uh-huh."

Anakin's mechanical hand now holds Padmé's hand during the closing wedding sequence (this was originally included in the DLP theatrical release of the film, but not in the 35 mm film version).

During their duel on Kamino, a shot of Jango Fett headbutting Obi-Wan is removed from the UK version of the DVD.

Jedi Coleman Trebor confronts Count Dooku on the lookout balcony during the battle of Geonosis. Trebor is instantly shot dead by Jango Fett. The following shot shows Jango twirling his blaster pistol before slotting it back into his holster. In the theatrical release, this was a solo shot of Jango, but the widescreen version of the DVD has Count Dooku in the foreground, smiling as Jango twirls his pistol.

Moments before Mace Windu decapitates Jango Fett, sparks and a slight puff of smoke from Jango's jetpack can be seen, signifying that his jetpack malfunctioned.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith DVD Release

Despite Lucasfilm's official statement that there were absolutely no changes made to the theatrical version of the film, the November 1, 2005 DVD release of Revenge of the Sith had one slight change from the theatrical cut. In the scene where a shot transitions to Anakin crawling up the lava bank, the original theatrical release used a wipe effect from the shot of Obi-Wan and C-3PO in the cockpit of Padmé's ship leaving Mustafar to Anakin's mechanical hand grasping at the volcanic soil, whereas the DVD instead uses a straight cut from the Padmé's ship shot to Anakin.

Luke whines about 5 times in ANH, and it seems believable as a teenager who wants to rebel, not an emo who broods and sulks all the time.

Totally agree! I don't get the hate for the Ewoks. I actually really like them. But I must say they are the weakest part of ROTJ, yet they are still awesome. It's just that everything else in ROTJ is even more awesome!
