Original Trilogy Dvd Se Se
HAS EVERYBODY READ ABOUT THE SUPPOSED SPECIAL EDITION, SPECIAL EDITION OF THE MOVIES THAT WILL BE RELEASED IN SEPTEMBER? SO FAR, LUCASFILM IS REPORTING THEY ARE THE SPECIAL EDITIONS, BUT WHAT OF THE REPORTS THAT THE DVD EDITIONS WILL BE MODIFIED TO FIT MORE SMOOTHLY WITH THE PREQUEL TRILOGY?
IF YOU HAVENT READ ABOUT THEM YET, YOU CAN CHECK THEM OUT HERE:
http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/tfn.cgi?storyID=22710
THIS IS PROBABLY BOGUS, FANBOY NONSENSE, BUT IF LUCAS EVEN MAKES SOME OF THESE CHANGES, I THINK IT WOULD MAKE THE ENTIRE SAGA THAT MUCH BETTER. WHEHTER YOU BELEIVE THIS RUMOR OR NOT, WHICH ONES DO YOU THINK WOULD "IMPROVE" THE OT, ADDING GREATER CONTINUITY TO THE PREQUELS? WHICH DO YOU THINK WOULD MAKE THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY WORSE?

Dude, less capslock.

Rick Mccallum has said that Lucas has been tinkering with the OT continuously, especially after the SE. Plus the fact that EP I and II have gone mysteriously out of print as of 12/31/2003, I think is further evidence of an upcoming archival edition. The only other positive proof I can think of is that a guy I nkow who manages an indie store cald Box Office Xchange says that he's got two release dates from Lucasfilm. One in september, and one in May 2007

at this point, the only things that really bother me (and I think at least some of you will agree with me) should be changed. specifically-
Episode I-reshoot Bail Organa's scenes with Jimmy smitts and add them back in. add all the deleted scenes back in.
Episode II-add anakin's chace through the rescue party graveyard back into the movie, finish the space battle and add it back into the movie, add back all the deleted scenes.
episode III-whatever deleted scenes apply
episode IV-retouch all the lightsabers, especially in the obi-wan/vader duel, get rid of all the english text and numerals, rearrange the soundtrack (already done), fix CGI Jabba, redub the troopers with Tem Morrison, let Han shoot first, add whatever deleted scenes apply
episode V-smooth out the Walkers and Taun Tauns, refilm Palpatine with Ian Mcdiarmond, rearrange the soundtrack (may already be done) redub Boba and the troopers with Tem Morrison, add the deleted wampa subplot back in, add any deleted scenes that apply, resynch luke's lips and back in the original "your lucky you didn't taste good" line in the artoo gets swallowed scene
Episode VI:redub the troops and Boba with Temura Morrison, fix the rancor, show boba with no helmet at least once (ala infinities-ESB), add all applicable deleted scenes back in, especially vader's confrontation with the red guard, rearrange the music (may already be done ), get rid of the splotches on palpatines head, add the prequal planets to the fireworks show-Naboo, Utapau, Aquilia, Geonosis, Kamino, Kashyyk (and maybe the clone war planets-Illum, Muunilist, Mon Calamari, Dantooine, and Rattatak?), finally, add episode III hayden Christiansen to the ghost scene, Sebastion Shaw looks nothing like Anakin at all, same goes for the death scene-maybe...
There, that's really not much, is it? a lot of it is fixing technical glitches.

OT DVD Details
Hey all,
Some almost confirmed details for the OT boxset are up at www.darkhorizons.com. Some cool details, but the lack of deleted scenes surprised me since they've been released on CD before...
And that new shot of McDiarmond as the Emperor in ESB looks great!

have you thought about the possibility that some of those scenes are back in the movies?

That pic looks soooo fake. It looks like they took someone in a crap rubber mask and placed it in the scene instead. The original emperor in that scene is so much more intimidating. I hope it's fake, I really do.

Don't you think its good continuity though?
Hey, as long as they're not putting that rasta frog in the OT...

I personally could care less about continuity. The original emperor looks cool, and I never knew the difference until I came to these boards. It's one of those nitpicky things, like the english writing in ANH, that you guys like to attack when it's fine how it is.
Just give me the originals Lucas, please?

it will be the SE but it'll include some work that lucas was unable to complete earlier due to Fox rushing him with deadlines. things like the lightsaber glitches and palpatine's spotty head in ROJ should be fixed. some new stuff like the afformentioned emperor could be added as well. and that pick does look real.
in case anyone is wondering, the original emperor was an old woman with chimpanzee eyes superimposed on her with Clive Revell's voice. More creepy if you've had a few hits before the movie.

i read an interview with GL and he said that the SE was the final product, finaly completing them the way he wanted after 25 years, and that there was no need to go back to the original versions. he said that they were old and outdated and the new versions were crisp and clear, thats why he likes them so much.
