Well, maybe tomorrow...

And yet he is 'redeemed' when he murders someone worse than him- ostensibly to save the son just minutes earlier he was laboring mightily to kill himself.

Does it really matter who shows up at the end, when the philosophical underpinings of it all are so full of horseshit? To argue it from any point other than wanting it simply for nostalgic reasons, makes any discussion look kind of foolish. No personal offense meant, as nostalgia, and historical reference, are as good a motives as any to want the original. But the fact that Lucas was goaded into making an issue of the original title (Revenge of The Jedi) and changed it, and then years later expended resources to make sure Greedo shot first because of the wrong message it might send to impressionable kids about one of the heroes- that all that is ultimately in the service of a six film saga about a (mostly) remorseless thug getting into Jedi Valhalla from one good deed at the end (which of course involves him having to murder someone else)- is quite bonkers.

I won't even begin to get into the fact that throughout the six films, the emualted Jedi are all clueless, stupid, despotic, easily duped, and ultimately (even at the end of jedi) weak and ineffectual- and that the only way the biggest villain of the saga can be vanquished is when another villain offs him. So kids, the big moral lesson to be learned here is- try to manipulate someone else into doing your dirty work for you. That way they have to make all the sacrifices, and you get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Remember kids, that's the Jedi way. And don't do drugs!

So what if you aren't getting the original without the extra stuff. You already have them on DVD and VHS and bottom line you will buy this anyways.

How many people here have read the original novels If you had you would know those scenes were always meant to be there. .

And what about Lord of the Rings and Avatar? If the Peter Jackson and James Cameron decided to only release the extended version in the future would you gripe about that?

People are griping (myself included) about releasing only the bloated extended cut of Dances With Wolves on Blu-ray.

Notice how no one is bitching about Avatar, Blade Runner, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, and the Alien series bluray releases, or ET, Lord Of The Rings, and Legend on DVD. That's just a few examples, there are many more.

Hopefully the droid control ship deleted scene makes it to the set in some capacity.

Gee, now I wonder why no one's bitching about those? Oh yeah, because they cared enough to also include the original theatrical cuts.

Dunno about Legend tho. You mean that Tom Cruise flick?



No, I won't!

no offense but...if they were deflecting the shots in that hall wouldn't there be a HUGE ASS chance that the placement of those Jedi would most likely kill the people in front of them. The idea is neat but....the execution of the placement of those Jedi is bad. If they had a a unified front moving along that hall that'd work.

Right before my birthday too. That's gonna be nice. And showing up right around the first year anniversary of my dad passing away.

Heh, he kept me home from school when I was 9 to go see ROTJ opening day.

Nice timing. Very nice timing.
