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

[Kai Lord]

Okay maybe not, but close enough:

But even more exciting (or depressing) information that came out of the convention were the copies of the Star Wars Trilogy DVD Collection (due September 21st, as if you weren't aware) that were making their way around the convention to those in the know, with connections, or sticky fingers. So for those fearing (or hoping) that Lucas would again make extensive changes to the classic first three movies in the saga, you will get your wish. Everything from less readily apparent changes - sound effects to the color of a lightsaber - to more substantive additions, including Ian McDiarmid (the evil Emperor) replacing Clive Revill in The Empire Strikes Back, to Anakin Hayden Christensen's face (badly) added to the body of Sebastian Shaw at the end of Return of the Jedi, or a chorus of cheering Gungians (or whatever those Jar Jar things are called) also tacked on to the finale of Jedi, will be found in the new DVDs. Sigh...but find out for yourself when the set reaches a galaxy near you this fall.

At which point did Lucas start hating us?

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)

Ahhh god... I just want to watch my favorite, old movies. Why do they keep changing?! I don't care if the s f/x are dated, I just want to watch my three favorite, old movies.

Screw you Lucas

 

[Michael Morris]

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.

Oh well. I gave up crying over SW a long time ago... just after Greedo shot first.

Lucas should just leave the movies alone. I loved SW. The movies coming out now are now SW, but SW 3.2.1.1bis.

Leave 'em alone, George!

I can just picture George Lucas sitting in his office, thinking "Well, since the fanboys are going to complain no matter what I do, I might as well give them something to really bitch about!"
