I have no doubt that eventually we will get a cleaned up version of the original, unaltered trilogy. But this way, he releases the updated versions, and people without self control will buy them. Then, when offered the versions they really want, they will buy them again. More people will bitch, yet still buy, the current blurays than bitch and hold off. |

I remember back when the OOTs were released as "bonus" discs in non-anamorphic format, there was an e-mail campaign aimed at getting a rethinking of this. The canned response came back thet they are not part of George's "vision", and would not be released in any format other than the garbage 4x3 letterboxed transfers from LD. |

As for myself, I don't care how many times George Lucas re-releases the films. All I care about is whether I can get the versions I want in a high-quality copy.

re: Star Wars
I used to think that Lucas would release the OOT fully restored, but after seeing the sales of the BluRay set, he knows that fans will buy anything he puts out. Trust me, I was one of those people who boycotted the BluRay set (still haven't bought it), but in the end, it didn't make a difference as the set broke BluRay sales records (Lucas is probably laughing at fans like me). Lucas looks at the numbers and justifies in his mind that it would be a waste of time to release the OOT. The only way he was ever going to release the OOT the right way is if fans didn't buy the SE version and sales were terrible.
As I have said before, Lucas could physically take a dump on the movies and people would still buy them saying, "Of course they smell like shit, but they're still Star Wars!" |
re: Star Wars
He can do whatever he wants at this point. Working on a tip, I found HD conversions of the largely-unaltered original trilogy. That works for me. If he ever decides he wants my money, he knows how to get it.

Fans will be clamoring for a 'behind the scenes' featurette of that ;) |

re: Star Wars
^No way. The Original Trilogy consisted of 2 great movies and 1 OK movie. SONG OF THE SOUTH is fucking awful, except for the animated sequences, and those are few and far in between.

re: Star Wars
I meant in regards to bootlegging the film, as it is basically the only way to see it unaltered anymore, unless you still have a VCR lying around.

re: Star Wars
I remember this video store I used to go to in college had "editions" of the Holiday Special and Song of the South for rent. Never got around to seeing them, but I was surprised that they would do so.

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/52175...-george-lucas/ The RedLetterMedia website has a good two-part interview with "The People Vs. George Lucas" director Alexandre O. Phillippe, wherein he and the hosts of "Half in the Bag" discuss the Blu-ray release. Here's a link to part one: http://redlettermedia.com/half-in-th...rs-discussion/ |
re: Star Wars
A bunch of people who want the Original films remastered for Blu Ray should organize an "Occupy" Lucasfilm in San Francisco hahahaha

re: Star Wars
I've been meaning to drag this thread out myself: been wondering how people are liking this set? Are the deleted scenes all that or are there still too many missing?
I'm still kinda keeping my eyes open for a used set... |
