I heard from a friend that there would be a complete Star Wars box set released on 25 May 2007 for the 30th anniversary. One thing mentioned was the scenes removed from Episode III with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.

I did ask my friend where they heard it and the response was "the internet somewhere."

Can anybody confirm this?

maybe Elvis Presley

Or Jim Morrison....

All rumors so far, number, all rumors.

George Lucas really plays us all for fools, doesn't he?

He knows we'll all buy the DVD's when they first come out.

Then he purposly leaves scene out of Episode III, knowing he'll release those scenes on the new DVDs. Because he knows we'll all buy them again.

Damn him

Yes...

Major contributions here....
"Damn him"
"Yes..."

Do you really need to encourage spam?

Do you really even know what spam is?

Apparently not.

I count useless crap that doesn't contribute as spam.

Off-topic nonsense is considered spam. On topic nonsense isn't

Indeed


Try it 132945... "In - deed"

Lucas = sly fox?

Wow, no one cares. For 2 reasons. 1) That isn't what is considered spam, and 2) Actually no, the first reason is good enough.

I thought the Obi/qui scene wasn't even shot to begin with............................actually, what the fvck are you talking about man???????????

That was supposed to be a Yoda/quigon scene wasn't it???


Grab your friend by the nose and upper lip and tear his face off for being a compulsive liar

Neeson was never filmed after TPM, so taht scene doesn't exist I think.

Then you agree that it's spam?
Because I don't see how "Yes" or "damn him" are on topic.

Off topic nonsense is NOT spam...

Because I don't see how "Yes" or "damn him" are on topic. It is on topic. It may not have added anything substantial to the conversation but it didn't change the subject.

No, it isn't. It's.... off topic nonsense. Spam is neither on or off topic.

man i aint shelling out more cash for 6 movies i already have. ill just download the scenes cause it is bs that every few years they re-release it.

It's all we have, Piru.

Well I guess will see.

Yup

Deleted scenes are nice, but I would like, for the eventual super-de-dooper set, to have everything spliced together.

Not just the cut scenes, but the cut *parts* of scenes, the trimmings of scenes that were cut because they were too long.

I've been reading the "making of" book on ROTS, and there sure were a lot of them. They hacked off lines at the beginning, the middle and the end of scenes.

This wouldn't be the "official" film or anything, just an enlongated version of the movie.

I doubt ROTS'd be very interesting though. Usually stuff is cut for very good reasons.

They cut all kinds of stuff out of ROTS, the whole Anakin->jealously thing, thinking obiwan and padme were an item, etc.

Look, there's only so many times we can re-buy these movies. What's blu-ray gonna do, seriously?

If they somehow thread each and every bit of cut dialogue and patched it all together for all 6, it would be very interesting.

I do agree cut out stuff is cut for a good reason, but I want to see these because I'm a fan.

Fair enough... but I hope it's worthwhile. Coz if it isn't it's gonna be kinda disappointing. Besides, everything is blue screen so all you'd see are the actors. Dunno if taht's any good. I doubt Lucas will release unfinished footage anyway.

Maybe he'll go back and refinish effects and such like they did for the 7 deleted scenes in TPM?

Very expensive.

Made up by enormous profit Lucasfilm would gain on a set containing all restored deleted scenes and other extras.

Sure. But he'll get the money anyway, why would he spend money on scenes he didn't like?

Lucas cuts waaaay to much tho, phantom menace was kinda shitful cause lucas cut all the character developement out of it. Sometimes I think that he should have been a mohel....

lucas does everything fer a reason ....lucas is a genius so says supershadow...lmao!...somethin like that....i wanna see qui-gons ghost...thats it for my expectations....the rest is all up to ss........LOL!!

SS rides again?

I would just want to see Yoda talking with the ghost of Qui-Gon. That's it.

So it's finally time for the super duper re-re-re-re-release of Star Wars, huh? Great...I look forward to avoiding it.

What makes you think it's gonna be super-duper?

the biggest let down on the last rerelease was the sound mix. I mean whoever did it must have seriously been swigging old crow, and i mean both the enhanced and original dvds that were released last fall. Whenever i watch the three i have to screw around with my sound settings cause i swear i've heard 78's that have better engeneering.

Sw was a relatively low budget film at the time.

Supposedly the six movie set has been delayed due to slow sales
of the untouched OT films. Seems they went to the well too many times....

Yea, that would be great and if Yoda and Qui-Gon redeemed Dooku in death, so that he came back to the light, That would be awesome, it would be the best scene ever.

I don't understand...

According to The Digital Bits.com's rumor mill, Lucasfilm was surprised by the weak sales of the untouched OT. Now they're considering holding back the super box set for a year or two until demand increases.

This could be wrong and an announcement might be made at Celebration IV but it seems odd that there's been no info out there....

It is rather...

And the untouched OT was the last one with the original releases right? Well, what did ya expect? Only die-hard fans would by that, like me. Now, if they had released the SE and the original OT, that might have been interesting...

Didn't those three have both versions? Original and SE?

Did they take into account they just released the same damn movies a year prior? Even I, the star wars fan, only want to own so many copies.

That's what probably surprised them.
They think fans will just buy anything that's out there and now they know better.

I'd still like to see this nearly mythical box set released for the 30th Anniversary,
so hopefully there will be something at Celebration IV....

No, original and last DVD version.

I bought it...

I am not sure I would buy this if they came out with it, I mean, I have enough copies of the OT, they would have to have something pretty worth while with it to win me over...

I bought it too. The new menu's were nice.

How many box sets of the same movie can you buy, i don't like the new ones, especially because of the changed music at the end of ROTJ and there is some other stuff as well, the best one is from 1997, because they added Corusant.

I bought three sets of SW OT on video: full screen, wide screen, SE.
I have TPM and AOTC on VHS, and on DVD, plus I have two sets of the OT dvd... So I'm sure I can buy another one.
THe only thing I don't have, is the laserdisc.

I have the 3 PT(1, 2 and 3) on DVD, and the one from 1997, the 20 year anniversary. I wont buy the new ones, because of the changed music, replaced Palpatine in ESB and Hayden Christensen in as ghost in ROTJ.l

I'll buy anything, I'm stupid.

Aren't we all...we have given Lucas so much money

Yup... Well, not all of it is bad though.

True, there has been some good out of it...and some bad, I won't mention the SE

Which is still better than the DVD version.

I want an original un remastered normal original version of the OT, like what you would see 30 years ago

That was on the latest DVD release. The original releases.

Really? I haven't seen them yet...I should look, because I would definately buy them

They came out months ago. They have the latest DVD release on them and the original unmastered theatrical releases. Adn with lovely moving menus made from the orginal filmposters.

Oooooh...sounds nice

Unfortunately those weren't released everywhere, they never made it to Norway. So I am hoping for a 6 movie box.

Were they released in Canada?

Not in Norway???? Very strange... I'm sure they made it to Canada though. The US had a nice tin can to go with it. Of course, I don't have it therefore.

How come you didn't get it?

Because I don't live in the US and I didn't feel like spending twice the amount of money on a set I already half own and which is in the crappy NTSC video format.

Alright, good enough reason

Lucas will be sad.

Unless you buy two of them so queeq doesn't have to buy his

I bought a set... just not the tin set.

I didn't get the tin set...

Did you get the normal set then?

Good, Lucas will be a happier man now.

Ya think?

Soon he will have enough money to make Howard the Duck2, this is all of his master plan, he only made SW that would make money for him, his dream has always been making 9 episodes of Howard the Duck.

Aha!!!! Another mystery solved.

Now for the mystery of how Jar Jar was able to survive all the way until Episode 6...

Isn't it obvious, he is Sidious master and told Sidiou what to do, Jar Jar controled evrything, he played the Jedi foor fools, he is the most evil character ever to be created.

oh

I should have known!

Didn't you get Lucas' grand plan?

And they say i am slow....................wait, what wore we talking about again?

Indeed.
