Apparently the Changes to the Star Wars Trilogy DVD Make It Shite.......
 

this from a recent message board:


To lead off with, Jar Jar Binks makes his way into them! Migod.......what a major brain fart on Lucas' behalf.


So for those fearing (or hoping) that Lucas would again make extensive changes to the classic first three movies in the saga, you will get your wish. Everything from less readily apparent changes - sound effects to the color of a lightsaber - to more substantive additions, including Ian McDiarmid (the evil Emperor) replacing Clive Revill in The Empire Strikes Back, to Anakin Hayden Christensen's face (badly) added to the body of Sebastian Shaw at the end of Return of the Jedi, or a chorus of cheering Gungians (or whatever those Jar Jar things are called) also tacked on to the finale of Jedi, will be found in the new DVDs. Sigh...but find out for yourself when the set reaches a galaxy near you this fall.

I'd already written off getting the DVD set when I learned it would be the "special edition" only (I'm clinging to my original VHS set), but these changes are ridiculous.


It's like putting a cherry on a shit sundae.
Actually, I think its like putting shit on top of a ice cream sundae. Because the product untouched is pretty good. But with the added bonuses, it quickly drags down into the gutter.

Everyone should atleast be happy that Jar Jar doesn't appear in the Indiana Jones DVD's!

Ok here's something I don't get. They're putting the face of Hayden Christensen on the body of the Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi. Will they also be putting the face of Ewan McGregor on the body of Obiwan Kenobi in that same scene. Why would Anakin's ghost be a representation of his young self while Obiwan's ghost is a representation of his old self. Same thing goes for Yoda.

Lucas is a moron. There are so many thing he could have done in Episodes I and II that would have made them better. I don't see how he can make changes like this and not see how moronic it is.

wow, looks to me like Lucas fucked up yet once again........

way to go George! :thumbsup those DVD's sound burnworthy, and not my cashworthy.

Thats caring to much about a movie.

Probably because that is the age that Anikan turned to the darkside. So before then, he was still a true jedi. Obiwan was a true jedi all throughout his life until he died. Same with yoda.

hahaha! yeah that would make me want to stab my eyes and ears with a pencil.

Leave it to Star Wars fans to complain over what probably amounts to less than 2 minutes of footage.

:)

Hey, In some galaxy far far away, all those events are really going on. And I am sure that they are happening in the same order that we are seeing them in.

Its two minutes of footage that mess up the Return of the Jedi ending alot.

fuck Star Wars nerds (yes, I'm one of them)
fuck it all, I'm still buying the trilogy......

Good answer! (See sig)

Dude you are crazy. I cant believe I even read all that.
