I don't think that subject has ever come up before.

This is the closest we've come to any kind of 'official' confirmation about changes. An 'emperor hologram' figure from ESB is being released with the new classic wave of figs. Ian's name is mentioned, and that figure and small picture on the packaging sure doesn't look like the old version!

Also of note is the phrase "The rebel that destroyed the Death Star - Luke Skywalker" I wonder if that is one of the revised lines for that scene? Interesting, and kind of exciting! Two months to go...

Force.net reports that Boba Fett's voice has been changed to reflect a New Zealand-esque accent. Bobba's voice in the OT was awesome.

Yeah I don't like that at all. Wasn't it close enough to Temura Morrison already?

tfn will report almost anything related to Star Wars. That being said, do you really care that much? The guy had what, 5 lines in the whole trilogy? One of which was "What the.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!" before plummeting to his death. (Yes, DEATH. Don't parade that EU crap that he was able to claw himself out of the Sarlacc Pit BS). That's really going to ruin the movie for you?

actually...more importantly, the little picture on the box is the same one that's been floating around the web of the new Ian in Empire.

I say -- the more changes, the better.

1. Some of them may actually turn out decent. That means that down the road I can create a "bboisvert cut"... with the best from all 3 (or whatever) versions.

2. The more he screws with these movies, the more "regular folk" are going to notice, and complain. Eventually, it's going to get to the point where people don't recognize these as the films they loved. Again, the more changes he makes... the greater the chances that the original trilogy will show up again one day.

Hell, I honestly hope he sticks Jar-Jar into one of 'em. That'll get Joe Sixpack up in arms.

Yes, because everyone knows you're The Biggest Star Wars Fan right?

Just post your staple copy-and-paste Luca$ slam from your Archive and be done with it.

Chrisedge · 07-15-04, 02:16 PM

At first I was bummed I bought the Special Edition DVD-R's, Then I traded for the Original Trilogy DVD-R's (I own both verison on Laserdisc, so...), Looks like my purchase of these DVD's will be yet a quite different 3rd version.

My feelings are that they are going to be new movies enjoyed by new fans. Fans of the old movies (and I am one of them) are out of luck.

Nah, it'll never get that far. He'd have to completely digitally remove the orginal actors and replace them with aged versions of Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, and replacing Billy Dee Williams with someone like Jamie Foxx or Will Smith.

No it won't. About the only people it will upset is us "fanboys" and maybe film historians. J6P couldn't care less and probably won't even know anything's changed!

emhello · 07-15-04, 03:10 PM

I am hoping for a Jar-Jar appearance in each movie in the trilogy!

I still think Lucas should add a bunch of rappers to the films so they appeal to this generation. just imagine the possibilities; you could have Eminem as Luke, you couls also have the 1st ever dual role for Busta Rymes when he replaces both Chewbacca and Lando. "use The Force mutha' fu**a!!!".

sorry for the rant. I just wish he would remake the films if he hates the way they are at the moment. leave the originals alone and call them the bastards of the Lucas family.

Unless he's killed in Ep III, I expect Jar-Jar in a Naboo celebration scene at end of ROTJ

Fok · 07-15-04, 04:09 PM

I don't care what changes he makes to the O.T, as long as Jar Jar is not in them.

Bang on.

This isn't the film I watched 12 times in 1977. Star Wars isn't being released in September. Some ungodly creation called A New Hope is, with a Microsoft-ian version number (I figure we're around 4.3.10.1874 by now). "Be sure to install Service Pack 2 in 2004 everyone".

It's really sad. I'm as big a Star Wars fan as most, and watching that trailer doesn't provide a single moment of excitement for me. It's just sadness, knowing that one of the greatest films of all time will never see the light of day again. Slowly, the tapes and vcr's will break, the laserdisks and machines will die, and all we'll be left with is this Bizarro version, passing itself off as Star Wars.

I still say if this was some nutjob "improving" classics like Gone With the Wind, Casablanca or Citizen Kane, everyone would be up in arms. But because it's Star Wars, nobody gives a damn.
