👽 Their is new effects, which are not crap, but they do look weird i got the silver version which looks good in wide screen and has any one noticed in the empire strikes back the emperor ( forgive spelling) is the same actor who played chancellor palpatine in episode 2 and that darth has no idea that he has a son until he finds out.

Yup, the man who plays emperor is Ian Mcdarmid, he also plays the emperor in ROTJ

All i wanna knwo if it is worth getting

Of course it is, even if you don't like the changes, having the trilogy the clearest it's ever been and having Empire of Dreams on special features is worth it alone.

Yeah that is logic but iv heard so much to not buy it and to stick with VHS

i got the DVDs 😛 and i gotta say its wayyyyyyyyyy better than the VHSs

BELIEVE ME

I got the DVD's as well, haven't sat down and watched them yet, but I've had them on while doing other things, and I must say, they are impressive.

The documentery is outstanding.

Vader knows he has a son, but not a daughter. He didn't know he had ferternal twins though, only a son. The story is much like Alexander Demua's The Man In The Iron Mask, when the King of France had twins, but to save the kingdom from separation between his two sons, one was sent away, and one inherited the thrown. In Star Wars, GL will use the same concept. He will most likely play to the notion that one of the twins will look like it will die in child birth. Obi-Wan explains it best in Empire.

👽 It was weird seeing Anakin at the end of return of the jedi, my dad is getting me to put the dvd on again and put that chapter on to see if it is him. I know it is him.

Yeah thats what my friend told me. That they put the Anikan from AOTC
I got mine today😄

I think it's really stupid putting Hayden Christiansen in there instead of the old man who was originally in there. That's so tacky.

I finally bought the Original Trilogy on DVD and, aside from the point stated above, I think they are fine. There are the changes that have been made... but they are changes that are understandable. I mean, the technology that is available now was not available then. Why not touch up "HIS" movies. They were fine back then, now they are better.

That was a kick in the balls, superimposing Hayden in there. There was no reason for that.

The DVD look fine and well restored. I love the picture quality. Is just the little changes that bother me. I, too hate to see Hayden Christensen as the ghost of Anakin in ROTJ. But what really hurt me was that the original victory song of the Ewoks was replace. Is just doesn't feel the same...

What the **** is it with you people and Hayden in ROTJ?! Aside from making perfect sense, it's for about 10 seconds out of a 2 hour long movie.

I can explain that...

Much as the fat blubbering git under darths mask in the '83 version of ROTJ was a little disappointing - he was nowhere near as unconvincing as the petulant whining cardboard standee performance of Hayden in the intelligence bludgeoning moron fest that was AOTC.

Seeing that lifeless unconvincing face grinning out of ROTJ is like Lucas coming round to your house, making you your favourite meal - then dumping a turd in it and still expecting you to eat it.

We can either eat his turd meal, or starve.

Thats why.

Also he looks confused, out of synch, and lost for those 10 secs. Seriously, Lucas is going mad. Did anyone notice during the final moments of ROTJ. The shot of Naboo? Is it me or did Jar-Jar had a tiny part in the movie? Why does Lucas keep imposing that un-funny lame Clown on us? Face it Lucas! Jar-Jar is only funny in your imagination, some of us hate that character!

Lucas likes changing stuff for the sake of changing stuff. He's a little options whore when it comes to his movies. I had no problem with any of the changes before that stupid hayden scene in ROTJ. Sooooo tacky and stupid.

First of all, why do you think he acted that way in the movie? Because that's how he was supposed to act, it was supposed to show just how immature and not responsible he was and how he wasn't in control of his emotions. Many people say he was too whiney and blab on about that, yet look at Mark Hamill in ANH with his " but I was going into Tashi station to pick up some power converters" line and complaining to Owent, that is just as whiney as Hayden in AOTC, but people just choose to ignore this because they want to bash the prequels.

How is it tacky and stupid when it fits the storyline better? 🙄 🙄

It doesn't fit the storyline better.

No - I want to LOVE the sequel/prequels. I want to roll around naked on them and giggle like I was in the POTC forum.

But they are shit, so i can't.

Luke begins as a whiny farmboy and by the end of the movie has begun to grow a spine and find his feet as the last of the jedi - hayden begins as a whiny pouting girly man and ends as - um... the exact same thing, except he's thrown a hissy fit and killed a few sandpeople.

The idea that this pissy little brat could bone Portman, far less become vader is a joke. I'm only eager to see ROTS to see him get his ass kicked.
