Well call me Jar Jar

I am not too worried on the quality of the Blu-ray release, I am sure that they will be quite fine.

The quality of the Blu-ray release will be just fine I am not worried about it at all.

Me neither. If they're any better than the DVDs, they'll be worth my money.

what are you on?

his story and image was so large that he decided to break it up into 2 initial acts, then finding it was still too big he cut it into 3.

He then decided to do the OT purely due to special effect restraints as the PT trilogy was not possible at that time as the Clone Wars and the fall of Anakin were just not possible.

Star Wars A New Hope was possible for the image he had for it, thats why he started there.

Some people on this forum just dont have a clue and yet they call themselves FANS!

You don't have to be an expert to be a fan.

I thought he started with Star Wars because he didn't have everything else planned. He made it up as he went along. I thought that the thread had already provided pages upon pages of evidence to support this. Including old GL interviews that contradict his later plans for a six-episode saga.

He started with Star Wars because that's the story he wanted to tell. After that, he started thinking of expansion. I don't think it had much to do with effects.

The ORIGINAL TRILOGY is done there will be no porting that sorry craptastic crapfest that it is to blu-ray so GET OVER IT! GEEZ.

The special editions are here to stay so deal with it and MOOOOVE ON.

The special editions did not take anything away from the ORIGINALS it added to it.

This is lucas's vision not yours and, if you can't handle it than you don't deserve to be called STAR WARS FANS, that's all you people complain about (HAN SHOT FIRST NO GREEDO SHOT FIRST) who gives a S**T get over it talk about beating a dead horse.

NONE of you could do any better, none of you have the artistic quality that lucas or anyone that works for him has!

You people are in the minority on this cause for every 1 person that hates the special editions there are 3 people who like it not good odds HUH!

You people are a bunch of whiny spoiled brats that don't deserve anything that the creative genius that is lucas has to give us!

So go ahead hide your pain and stick with the 2004 dvd ORIGINAL VERSION!

COME ON FANS COME AND DEFEND YOURSELVES WITH WORDS!

PEACE OUT.

Well, this post sounds like it was composed by a mentally-challenged 5-year-old.

But, what else should I expect from the guy claiming to have "inside info" on the Blu-Ray release, and then posting things like other people's custom covers and other images that are readily available on the internet.


Oh, by the way, this recent post of yours completely contradicts some of your previous supposed "inside info" that you were "sharing" with us:

OH this sucks HAN SHOT FIRST. NO GREEDO SHOT FIRST it's burning me up sooo bad that i'm gonna hate the special editionshttp://www.cynical-c.com/archives/bloggraphics/40.jpg

THANKS LUCAS!! THANKS FOR RAPING MY CHILDHOOD!!

I always get a kick out of the stupidity of some people judging a movie cause of that.

When the blu-rays come out we will see what else they complain about!

1. Do you honestly expect that he would be able to predict (decades in advance) the response to something that hadn't even been written yet?
2. Especially when he didn't accurately predict the response to the 1977 movie?
3. He didn't choose to start at Episode IV. The decision to make Star Wars into "Episode IV: A New Hope" was applied retroactively a couple of years after the film was done... not a decision made in advance of filming.

According to what I've read, Lucas originally imagined Star Wars as a 9-part story. He started with the "middle act" because he thought that was the most interesting. But it's absurd to think that before Star Wars was released that he knew that Episode I would not be well received, especially because when "Star Wars: A New Hope" was completed, he thought that it would bomb (as you note) - which is why he "escaped" to Hawaii with Steven Spielberg during the premiere and had to be called back to California when it was the big unexpected hit.

Years before it was decided to proceed with the PT, I had read somewhere that Lucas actually wanted to release the remaining six parts in this order: Ep I, VII, II, VIII, III, IX. Before I read that, a friend of mine who is in the film business always thought that Lucas was going to wait some years after the OT, then produce sequels (not the PT). According to this friend's own idea for the story, in the sequels, Luke would continue to lose more natural parts of his body and eventually become mostly machine, like Vader. He thought the clue to that progression was when Luke lost his hand in ESB.

IMO, there was nothing wrong with the broad story outlines of the PT. It was the specific execution, plot illogic and inconsistencies, pacing and story arc, lack of actor direction, poorly written dialog and concentration on the special effects above all else that harmed the PT. Not that everything in the ESB and ROTJ was great, but from the results, Lawrence Kasdan greatly improved those scripts. Lucas should have used him (or someone like him) again on the PT.

For the people who have been reading this thread, they will "complain" over how all of your "inside info" was completely wrong. Actually, they won't be complaining... they'll just be laughing their asses off about how wrong your "info" was.

Do you think if i did have insider info that i would plaster it all over the internet lucas would have it taken down in a heartbeat and i would be out of a job.

Wow, just yesterday I thought Starkiller was the most obnoxious douchebag on this forum, well congratulations Starkiller, because now YOU'VE been officially dethroned (and in less than 12 hours). This forum never ceases to amaze me.

I agree with you. The PT could have been really astounding if he swallowed his pride a bit and hired a screenplay writer. Lucas is a great Producer imo and honestly, should have stuck with that through the PT. He is an okay director but honestly, he really could have picked ANYONE to direct the films (not many would have turned the chance to direct any kind of Star Wars film down). Could have been amazing movies, but instead they are just okay.
