In the TMZ clip with Kevin Smith, it is clear that he has not heard the Nooooooooo yell himself, yet.

If I was just told about how Vader yells 'no', I wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it either.

The problem to me isn't that he yells it. It is the way he does. It sounds way too campy.

Kevin Smith's opinion means nothing to me but I was hoping the guy would have asked him his opinion on releasing the originals, just to hear his response.

These look like bad lenses to me and not from the transfer. The 2004 DVD's were like that as well as the 2006 bonus discs.

I was thinking about why Lucas does this and came up with 4 possibilities. Which would you guys go for?

1. Lucas is unaware of the fan backlash against the constant changes.
2. Lucas is a perfectionist and genuinely thinks the changes make them better movies.
3. Lucas does it to spite the fans, just cause he can! If he didn't then he would at least give them a choice to purchase which set they prefer.
4. Lucas does it because he knows the fans will buy it anyway and then he'll be able to release the theatrical releases on BD in a couple of years and milk them for even more money (double dip).

Personally i'm going for a mix of 2 and 4

am having a nice chat with a fake George Lucas account on Twitter right now asking "George" why the changes etc. He swears the account will be verified soon lol

But what "if" it's him....

[Gardenofstone10]

I see George Lucas as have his own version of Twitter but really, he probably just talks to himself on it. Remember, reality just isn't good enough for him

A fork grating on a chalkboard does not sound better in 5.1 as it does in mono...

In many ways 2 is very hard to believe but the other three are even harder to believe: put me down for 2.

Do you really think that is a good way to promote that cause?

Digital sparks. Give. Me. A. Break.

[eleshai]

I personally think that he does that to show that he's the boss now, not Gary Kurtz or anyone else.
He wants to add every little silly details he ever thought about, just because he can. He must think he's improving his movies...
I'm okay with that, nothing can stop him now, I just wish he did it the way Scott or Spielberg did it on Blade Runner or ET.
The more I read this thread, the more I want to cancel my pre-order, even if here in France, I had a very good price for it.
I hope he will release a complete set with all versions in it.
I even dream that when there will be no more physical media, you'll be able to choose the version you want to watch : the 1997's intro + the 2011's light sabers + the original Ewok song (I'm 32, I was a kid then and I love them ^^)...

Really? They can take the time to add worthless digital sparks and reflections but they can't fix the lightsaber problems from '04? Some of this stuff has to be a put on it's so unbelievable.

There are sparks seen at one point in the scene but was it really necessary to add more? Were there actually people that complained about this "issue"?
Gotta love it...

[kristoffer]

Has ESB been color corrected? Does it still have the blue tinge from 04?

The lack of a PT leak still bothering anyone?

This still smacks of a cunning marketing ploy, leak a copy, get the fanboys whipped up (fanboys hate the PT, so only an OT leak will do), all the worlds news and media outlets broadcasting the release on the 16th of Star Wars on Blu ray for FREE and the masses run to the stores.

(I don't actually think this bit is true but....)and what if the leak was a deliberate pre-final copy. The guys on MF.com are reporting that the ISO files that have now gone up from the leak have been confirmed as NOT from the final release. The fanboys get whipped up again because ILM lied, they haven't changed every hair on chewbacca like they said, but then it turns out they haven't lied, the release is perfection, George appears on the Today programme and raises his right hand middle digit to camera and begins laughing. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That would be priceless.

I guess all will be revealed when we finally get our copies.

I don't know if anything has been changed in episode 2 or 3, I hope not, although I would have liked that non existant Qui gon Jinn scene in ROTS added in.

I found it for $10 at a pawn shop recently and traded it in on Amazon for $23. Maybe I should have waited to sell it.

I just can believe how great this looks! Although I would have loved to see the "Legacy revealed" documentary included in the set it absolutely brilliant. Can wait for the 16th to come!

Nope. Because the people who are "done" with this set really don't care a bit about the PT...and that includes the people who leak these things.

It seems the only people who are still defending George are the same people that can't wait to see the PT.
