Can't believe it still bothers me. It's like getting upset because a dead relative's corpse has rotted a bit more.

ways loved Vader's wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin's ghost. What a ****ing shame.

Wasn't going to buy them anyway. Not even going to watch borrowed copies now. The only thing I'd buy is the original, original three on blu.

I'm hearing some rumblings about supposed audio additions to the original trilogy on the Star Wars Blu-Rays. Is this a hoax? Suspect it is.

Guess he just got himself written out of Red Tails 2 - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Didn't he star in "PAUL" recently - this dumb movie with that annoying, badly done CGI-Alien!?! Laughable!

That won't change my love for Star Wars one bit.

I would like to know why Lucas chose to add that to the redemption scene??

Why's that? This isn't some silly Lucas vanity side-project, it's the only version of the movie I can buy. Lucas deserves every bit of scorn he gets as long as he continues to willfully antagonize fans of the films.

Good for Pegg, not many high-profile movie industry types would dare burn that bridge.

How is this the only version you can buy? Don't you have the DVDs? Why do you have to have the Blu Rays, besides the fact that this is blu-ray.com?

Because he can

Obviously he meant the only version on blu-ray.


Why do we have to have ANY movie on blu-ray?
Because we love them and we want to see them in this era's format.

and this format in particular has been marketed towards film preservation types and/or people with a hard on for home theater tech.

Which creates a perfect storm of disappointment in this instance.

I am a huge Trek fan and do not own them on Blu as they look like a DNR mess, yet I am no less a Trek fan for it.

'Star Wars' Blu-Ray Controversy: Has George Lucas Crossed The Line?

Fox typically makes the screeners available on the week of release .

Seems like some are selling their George Lucas knee-pads... others are bedazzling them.

As I've stated before...

I am so proud to have made THIS thread, and have had my Pre-Order since JANUARY... but I for one am really disappointed in seeing someone take something that WORKED for over 30 YEARS and now try to "Sync" it with three prequels, just to get a solid story told in six episodes is just CRAZY!

Maybe we should all just sit-back, wait, and see what REALLY doesn't hit the NEW cutting-room-digital-floor. I have a feeling that many may cancel their orders just to hear from others what was newly added or adjusted, and then from there see if they are willing to fork over $90+ for a Box Set that can possible disappoint an entire generation of fans.

I for one am thinking of doing just this... maybe I'll continue my pre-order, view the "Changes" and decide from there if I really want to keep this Box Set

BTW : The DARTH VADER "NOOOOOO" (supposed) addition to ROTJ is... TRULY TERRIBLE. The less said at that moment by VADER the better.

Having DARTH VADER say anything makes DARTH VADER less of a SITH

Shame on you LUCAS if this is true.


EVERYONE KNOWS... CORRECTIONS IS ONE THING... ALTERATIONS IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THING

Celebrity berating of George Lucas:

Famous Star Wars fan Simon Pegg has been tweeting all day about the changes. He's particularly angry about the change to Vader's redemption saying "Always loved Vader's wordless self sacrifice. Another ****ty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin's ghost. What a ****ing shame."

Pegg went on to berate George Lucas for his frequent altering of the loved films: "I wonder if George Lucas will ever replace himself with CGI. He should do. He's a muppet."

I have "recently" become a Simon Pegg fan, and without him knowing (of course), appreciate his take / loyalty for the UOT and are too suprised that he would come out and say / tweet anything that hasn't been proven, yet stated everywhere in our digital world as we know it, over and over and over again.

I'm still skeptical but I'm hoping that what we've seen or heard would be accounted for as "fake" or if "real" would be added to only a "Special Features" disc and not a finished film product.

I believe that if we don't hear from Mr. George Lucas by SEP 12th (1 Week Away), maybe during a "Grand Premier / Blu-Ray Release" (like the one done for SCARFACE) then, by then, at least half of "Middle Earth" will be begging / cringing / praying on their knees in hopes for the best

Uh oh. He's going to start binge eating again. We'll have "fat" Kevin Smith back

I have not cancelled my pre-order and I'm not going to just because of the changes. It's star wars on blu-ray after all.

and?

Who said anything about being more or less of a fan?

There's a few films that scream home theater. A few films everyone thinks of when you think of "spectacles" for the home theater.

T2, Aliens, Jurrasic Park and the Star Wars trilogy.

These are the films that got a lot of people into home theater to begin with. Of course people with home theaters want the very best looking and sounding version of these films in particular.

I'm not saying any other film or franchise is less deserving. But of course these films are going to bought in mass by the home viewing public.

I find it hard to believe you are not just being coy. This seems like a pretty basic understanding of anyone remotely interested in home theater. It's why we have blu-ray. It's why we had Laserdisc as long as we did.

I'm not even voicing an opinion on the changes. I'm simply saying, it should be obvious why "just stick with the dvds" is a bitter pill to swallow for people whom are both huge fans of a films theatrical presentation and modern home theater equipment.
