The Final Editions

What do you expect to see in the "Final Editions"? I for one would like to see Jimmy Smits with loads of makeup in ANH before Alderan is destroyed.

That would be cool, as the Death Star approaches, do an establishing shot of Aldera and then as the beam is launched at the planet, everyone looking up in terror.

Though I think it's a really cool idea, I have my doubts that Lucas will do any further "enhancements" to the OT.

Not even fix the Rancor scene?

No EJ, not even for that.

Just cos you haven't got a life doesn't mean Lucas is missing one....

In the Rancor scene, do you think Luke just made a lucky shot at the door switch or do you think he force threw that rock ? It didn't look like he used the force (and I know "there's no such thing as luck"😉

NOt sure, actually was anyone else surprised that he didn't fix that scene when he had the chance during the production of the Special Editions?

It does stick out. Seems od that he woukld not sort out such a galringly bad bit of matte/stop motion work.

Yes, I was surprised they didn't fix it. After all, I could have cared less about the musical scene, although it was funny this way, but the Rancor is like the most horrible site.

And then they talk about fixing the matte lines in the snowspeeders, which you could hardly see, and they leave this ugly Rancor. Weird.

It was probably a time thing. They took a long, long time on those new FX shots (as we all know, the new Han/Jabba scene took forever...).

So all the time for the ROTJ remake went into the musical scene, which probably means that GL, in his funny little directorial way, thought that putting an amusing scene into the movie at that point was far more important than fixing dodgy effects.

I'm sure there were a lot of better suggestions that any one of us could have told him to do when re-making ROTJ. But we probably would have ended up yelling at him. Remember, he just doesn't think like us. The evidence for that is compelling.

I would like to see, in the Final Editions, more than seven or eight TIE Fighters coming from the Death Star. Lways struck me as odd, that.

And an Empire Strikes Back ground force on the same scale as the Trade Federation army.

Yeah, but if you look at that Jabba amd then at the Jabba in Episode-I and in Episode-VI the Episode-IV "enahncement" does kinda suck too....

It's too thin, the face is all wrong and it's too darn small.

Yes, I saw that. I dug it when the SE's came out, but not after Ep1. Jabba in Ep1 looks very much like he does in ROTJ, but he's a lot smaller in ANH SE. And he does look weird, I agree.

I was almost expecting the Episode-I Jabba to be a worm, as some young Hutts are descibed in the EU.

Yes, 😂 , so did I actually. Well not a small worm, but smaller than he was in ANH. Guess the ANH Jabba just came back from a Spa and lost some major weight.

I think we all know that the reality of it was that the SE's were a test bed for the technology Lucas used to make Episode-I. 🙁

I thought the conversions of the Bespin scenes were very good.

Bespin was awesome. I agree. And I like ANH SE as well. Great job well done there. I think ANH was the only one really in need of a SE, though.

Well I thought in ROTJ when they're going from Jabba's palace out to the Sarlaac pit was horrible. If you look at the figure walking across the sail barge, he looks like a cartoon character. Yeesh. 😘

AND the tarzan yell made by Chewbacca when him and the ewoks are swinging on that vine DEFINATELY should have come OUT !!! 😘 😘

Ah never mind the Tarzan yell. It's done.

The tentacles from the Sarlacc Pit were nice though.

I think they did a better job with the building and robotic additions to the SE's The organic ones weren't so well done.

The dewbacks in ANH SE were pretty good. IMHO OC. So were the CGI Stormtroopers.
