NOOO! Jar Jar to appear in Return of the Jedi DVD

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

I just hope the Star Wars DVD's has the scene on Tattoine with Biggs and Luke, either back in the movie, or with other deleted scenes. DVD is the perfect place for it.

I've wanted to see that, and the scene of the sandstorm before leaving Tatooine in RotJ for a while now...

This infuriates me. I am a massive SW fan, I like it more than any other franchise. The Gungans part is fine by me, exposes more of the vast aliens of Star Wars to the newer audience.

But putting that whiny brat Hayden's face? Now that is just wrong. I mean, the whole magic of that original scene was finally seeing Lord Vader's face, and seeing all the damage battle over the decades had done to it, what the countless Jedi slain in the purge did to him. But imposing HAYDEN????


Evil...

Though I do agree to not liking the Hayden's face thing...I have to wonder how easy it will be to tell that its still Hayden by that point.

That pretty much sums it up for me, too. Gungans...eh, but why change Vader? I think that might actually bother me more than the changes to the Sarlacc Pit, or "mini-Jabba" mincing around Solo, or Greedo shooting first... Ugh.

Hopefully RotS will at least be more like AotC, and not at all like TPM. :\

I've found that Star Wars fans take their Sci-Fi very seriously, and do not like it when people make fun of their movies. One lone exception - Jar Jar. Seems that he's considered fair game.

Are they replacing Shaw's face when Luke removes his helmet as he is dieing, or when he appears in astral form at the very end?

Not that I support it, but in astral form you can make the argument that Vader/Anikan would appear as he did prior to turning to the dakside. Gaining back his humanity, but in the physical form he would still be all disfigured and look like Vader (Shaw).

Regardless I still don't like that George is changing the movies around as he so desires.

Aside from Han shooting first, i really dont have any problem with the additions. If i were lucas i would simply release the redone collection as I please but give the option to view the original trilogy as they were when they were released.

That'd be ideal, but somehow it seems unlikely.

I think when Willow flopped.



(Curiously, Lucas wrote a sequel to that movie as a novel, but you would never know from it, because it never mentions "Willow" anywhere on the cover or blurb. Depressing book, too. One of those sequels, like Alien 3, that I hate, because it turns a happy ending into a sad one)

Willow was actually not bad, IMO. Madmartigan was pretty cool. I read the first two of the novels that are sequels to Willow....and Willow doesn't appear, because he changes his name.....and then I think he dies...though I'm not sure...it's been a while. He goes through major personality changes.

My only gripe with the original of the original trilogy is that you can see the dowel rod of Vader's lightsaber in the fight with Luke. But that stuff above is just ludicrous.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Lucas is a brilliant sfx editor, but he's one of the crappiest directors ever to sit behind a camera.

I personally think Lucas' ego and his own legend got to him.

Why did he *have* to write and direct the new ones? Didn't have have someone else, Ivan Rietman or something, write Eps 5 and 6? They had far superior dialogue.
