OT DVD Credits

I noticed upon viewing the DVD's, particuallary The Empire Strikes Back & Return Of The Jedi, that they never gave credit to the actors that were added for this DVD release.

IE:

Ian McDiarmid as the Emporer in ESB.
Temuera Morrison as the voice of Boba Fett in ESB/ROTJ.
Hayden Christensen as Anakin's Ghost in ROTJ.

I know that if I were added into the Original Trilogy I would want credit where credit is due.

Do you think George just overlooked this or if it was done on purpose, and if it was done on purpose...why?

Discuss.

Probably some kind of actors union anal rules. Or maybe he just couldn't be bothered adding them.

credit where credit is due?

they shouldn't be in it in the first place 😛 😉

Perhaps not Hayden and Temuera, but I think McDiarmid should be in ESB.

i noticed it too. like it or not they are in the movies they should get a credit.

The ESB credits even included Clive Revill as the Emperor.... ???

guess they totally overlooked.

Dunno, maybe the wanted to keep the original credits in tact. It's rather odd though.

I noticed that too, and now I'm pretty sure these DVDs were a bit of a rush job.

Fancy that, the LAST bloody movies to get a DVD re-release and they still arent finished.

Some day, some day.

Why would you look for soemthing like that?

Indeed. Lucas keeps saying films are abandoned, not finished. 😂

Well I think he should abandon his SW films because in trying to finish them -- or improve them -- he's only losing fanbase. I for one hate Lucas for his so-called improvements. He's managed to turn 3 great films into pieces of crap.

then why do you post in here all the time? If you hate him so much shouldn't you be moving on to something better?

the credit issues probably have to do with screen actor's guild rules. they really hate Lucas and are the primary reason why Gary Oldman will not play General Grievous.

wasn't that lame? I can't believe Oldman didn't have more balls about the situation.

I.... was going to comment, but I forget what. But hopefully, one day, these films will be completed. If the few errors weren't made in the current release, I'd be happy. I don't whine about the changes he made, they're his films, so whatever. As I said earlier, the storyline is completely intact, at least Leia didn't turn into a shemale or the Emperor didn't say "Weeeeeeee!" when he fell down instead of "Ahhhhhh!".

It's not that bad. Some changes are quite good. I can even watch the Rancor scene without cringing now.

i read that they are coming out again in 2006 on a format called laserbit
all six of em

according to lucasfilm, the release of the "ultimate" or "archival" addition, they will not be released until 2007. That's what an "insider" said on a site I was on, I can't remember where I read it, it was in the begininng of September... and it wasn't that freak supershadow either...

It wasn't? Then I doubt it's reliable... 😉
