Yeah, it broke records. Star Wars has a ton of fans. Many who don't mind the little changes.
I'm still holding out for an ORIGINAL trilogy for release. If it never happens, I'll just stick with the DVD versions that had the original cuts as special features.
Okay, one thing that really bothers me about ROTJ (apart from the horrible NOOOOOO's) is that....
...
VADER'S LIGHTSABRE IS PINK IN A LOT OF SHOTS!!!!! OMG.. if you can make Ewoks blink, you could at least FIX WHAT'S REALLY WRONG IN THE TRANSFER TO VIDEO!!!! OMG.....
Just be thankful there's not a sub-forum on here for every release thats been altered or changed.
I don't know... I've checked out the website link thats broken down all the changes and the only thing I agree with is making pictures or effects clearer or more detailed. The other stuff, the actual scene/dialogue or environment changes I'm not a fan of and I'm going to just avoid this one completely.
I enjoyed this set, although it does have it's faults as mentioned above. some things get fixed or retweaked but then they don't fully fix the light sabers, i'm really surprised they fixed the wampas arm but then still leave the face the same when it first attacks Luke (it has no horns and doesn't even look the same as the one in the cave, maybe it's the female?)
6 or 8 years from now he will release them again probably in 3D if that is still going (i hope not) with more tweaks, that is why i decided to get this one, just in case he decides to add some of the other deleted scenes like Luke and Biggs on Tatooine (which sucked) or the some of the other ones that were deleted for a reason cause they did suck.
The only ones i would like to see reincorporated would be the prob droid that quigon splits in half, Maul and quigon fight on the ship platform, the slightly extended fight of obiwan, quigon and Maul.
Anakin and padme on Naboo interacting with her family, (just one of the scenes), and one of the formation of the rebellion in EPIII
They should also redo the wampa face as i said above and redo the superstar destroyer hitting the 2nd death star to be more grand.
By the time we get a copy of it with the sabers the way we want he will add something else that will suck, that is why i got this one.
We can always wait to see when he dies if anyone else will take over and release the non tinkered with movie.
Speilberg had said he regrets making the changes to ET so there may be hope for Lucas.
