I want the SE and fix or add some other things while they are at it in all 6 movies.
Episode 1
Add the sith droid that quigon destroys.
Add the little extra footage of the final light sabre battle.
Add the pod racer getting hit in the head with the fly.
Take out anakin fixing the pod with the magnet in the race.

Episode 2
Add the scene with anakin and padme at her house on naboo. (I think this was a very good scene and shouldn't of been deleted)

Episode 3
Add yoda landing on dagobah
Add one scene with the formation of the rebellion.

Episode 4
Take out greedo shoots first
Fix the color of lukes saber on the falcon

Episode 5
Redo the face of the wampa when it hits Luke. To actually have horns like the one in the cave.

Episode 6
Redo the super star destroyer hitting the death star 2.
Maybe take out Hayden and put back sebatian? Im still on the fence with this.

And/or since it's bluray make it so you can pick what deleted scenes you want incorporated into the movie.

And don't forget that they have to fix Vader's pink lightsabre in ROTJ.

Yes definatly fix that plus the boxes around the ties in all movies.
I had Ti really turn down the brightness ob my tv to get rid of the boxes.
Hopefully with the blurays I can turn it back up again.

We better. Nothing beats an unboxed Tie.

I think it would be neat if they added in that scene in ROTJ with Luke assembling his light saber amd giving it to r2. That would make the rancor scene make more sense cause why wouldn't he just whip out his light saber?

They might... I dunno... You know Lucas likes changes.

And I don't think it adds much to the Rancor scene. once R2 launches Luke's lightsabre, we know why he didn't whip out his lightsabre.

True but anything extra that is neat is cool in starwars

I dunno... they will put the deleted scene on the BD. And that's enough for me.

Deleted scenes usually weren't deleted without reason. Often putting them back in doesn't make the movie better. I think Gladiator - Extended Cut is a good example. There were some great scenes deleted, but once they're back in, it makes the movie less great. No wonder Idley Scott refers to the theatrical as the Director's Cut.

That's true alot of them are deleted and were for a reason but some are just taken out for time constraints. Which I think is for the most part silly especially if one scene amounts to 30 or 60 seconds.

That was interesting but there was another link in there where the person was analyzing some of the shots where to notice something you would have to pause the film and zoom in. Films are not intended to be watched like that.
Even in rots there was one scene where anakin and obi wan miraculously switch sabers back and forth. Originally during the fight they intended to get them switched and fight with the other saber bit they took that scene out.

Thought of another change to episode 5 put bobas original voice back in. It was more menacing. Either that or get temu to rerecord it to be more in tone with the original voice tone

This are serious changes. They were made to match the PT look,. but it ruined the original look of the OT. This has nothing to do with frame by frame checking a film. The whole look has changed from the (at that time) palish, documentary look to the saturated look of the PT. A shame.

Changes or mess ups?

The other link inside that link is the one I was referring to with the frame by frame analysis on a fee shots you can see a wire? And a shadow of the wire. But for me the only way to see it would be to pause and zoom in. That was all I was saying.

Oh yes, you're right of course... As if a wire is such a shame? Theye didn't have CGI then and were able to pull off great illusions.

As for changes or mess ups? They're not so much messed up (except for the greenish and pink lightsabres) as radically changed from the original look which was fantastic. Now it looks ordinary.

Untouched is impossible

One day... after Lucas dies...

If Orson Welles can go to his grave with written, legally binding instructions that no one can mess with Citizen Kane (Ted Turner had the video rights then, and was well known for colorizing B&W films at the time), then we can be assured that Lucas will go to grave with the same guarantee that Star Wars only exists in the form he wants. This battle will never be won.

Perhaps... but there is a difference. No one is tampering with SW, we just wanna have the one he released once and made movie history and tons of money with and used to establish his own Empire. Why can't we see the picture that made him who he was.
Citizen Kane was released as Orson saw fit at the time and didn't want anyone to tamper with it. EVen though even that movie could from a perfectionist view use some slight corrections, like the long tilt shot from the stage to the rafters... you can see the insert where the ropes are faily loose, there were from a model. Something that could easily be fixed nowadays, but Welles doesn't want it. And rightly so. It's history, we wanna see it.

This why it would be the time to incorporate every thing in the bluray. If you want the original cuts then great or at least without some of the major changes like greedo shoots first or jabbe in anh. But you have to admit the other changes are quite small and it's not as if they jump off the screen at you.
But I do believe the could and should allow the viewer to put in or take out any scene or deleted scene and create their own star wars experience.
