Original Trilogy: Bad Stunt Directors?

That's why I'm in favour of Lucas shooting some new stunt footage to spice up the Obi Wan/Vader fight, for a future DVD/Blu-ray release (he needs to keep throwing bones to the fans, doesn't he?) Just insert it after the first sequence when Obi Wan starts backing down the hall, and parallel it with the foursome making their way to the Falcon. Obi Wan has his hood up; it would be easy to shoot a stunt person from behind, and wheh they have to, CGI the face of Alec Guiness on the front. They don't have to be as athletic as the PT - just give it more flair.

No way. Lucas needs to stop meddling with the OT, the remastered versions were bad enough.

Well, since he's already 'meddled with it' ( a curious phrase to describe a film you created & own), what is more changes going to do at this point anyway?

....Answer - he'll make more money.
Because people will still buy despite all the bashing. 😉

People will buy any crap he releases. Just don't let him touch the OT anymore. He's got to come to grips with the fact taht he made it in the 70s and that it was historical. It doesn't get more historical by tampering with it and non of his latest movies will ever reach that status. Simply because they are not in that league.
