Blue Ray is a new medium which is cartridge based, it's DVD's written and read with a blue laser instead of a red one, this allows for higher quality picture and sound, and a lot more storage space. it's considered the leading next-gen video recording medium, along with HD-DVD. the first device to use blue-ray, before commercial discs and disc players will be the PS3
I GUARANTEE that GL will be completely re-doing the OT as I had mentioned earlier. And Darth Jello-- you're right.. they will more than likely be on Blue Ray or HDDVD-- the two competing formats which are said to hit the markets the fourth quarter of 2005 (I work in a video store-- read that on one of our pamphlets).

😘 Ummm...yeah. NO! S aying that is really narrow-minded. REALLY NARROW-MINDED. All the star wars movies have been geared towards kids. ALL OF THEM. When they came out they were just fun movies for the kid in all of us. There is a slightly better plot in the OT, but the PT has it too. I'm sorry thirty years haven gone by to elevate them to the societal classics that we term them today. Everyone holds them in such high esteem all the time. The are often JUST AS BAD AS THE PT. But to say that that is for videogames, its all rediculous. Its a different time. Its not supposed to be the grunge industrialism that we saw in the OT The PT is supposed to be lighter and happier because THAT IS WHATS GOING ON! there is no Empire, there is no rebellion. But then the CLone Wars happen and send the Dark Meter way up to 100 in this episode.
sorry, but "geared towards younger kids" absolutely DISGUSTS me.
But Hooray for Blue Ray. That tech is sweet.

Highly debatable. Surely kids were an important part of the demographic, but it was not solely intended for children. It made reasonable concessions for the 'kids in us', but the deep plot was geared toward a more mature audience. In the PT it's the other way around. TPM is a classic example of a film that is geared toward children, with slight concessions made for the older fans. That plain sucks.

No...nowhere near as bad. Lucas was more focused on telling a good story back then. It's a little too early to say that he's given up on that notion yet...after we watch ROTS, then we'll decide.
But to say that that is for videogames, its all rediculous.
Well I'm sorry if you don't understand the economics...it's all about money. Video games, toys, and other merchandise are an integral part of the George Lucas empire. These things have moved more to the forefront, whereas they were more secondary back in the 70's. Go watch one of the documentaries in 'Special Features' disc of the OT collection to learn more about merchandise.

Yes but there is a way to present these joyous times without having to include characters such as Jar Jar Binks and tons of other alien races. More should have been done to improve dialogue, improve chemistry between actors, and accomplish a lot more plot-related tasks rather than go nuts on the CG.

Nothing I can do about that.
Why add anymore ghosts to ROTJ? Luke wouldn't know them at all.
He only knew 3 Jedi at that point. He'd look over to the other ghosts and he wouldn't know who the hell they were.
That's a terrible idea.
Only Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Yoda, & Anakin were able to do this anyways. Qui-Gon is not needed in the OT as the fact of Luke doesn't know him, never heard stories about him, etc.
Anyways...moving.
No there should not be any more Ghosts, but HELL YES they should re-do the OT with updated CG. Considering how much of movies these days are CG, I think they could make the thing look amazing.
Consider how great the plot lines are in the OT, and then add to that some good special effects. It would really allow us to enjoy the movies again. I find when I watch them now, it is just too low budget to fully get into it.
Updated CG is not only possible, but definitely needed.
