Star Wars BluRay changes

Sign in to disble this ad
George Lucas must stop his incessant tinkering of these movies everytime there's a new release. With the BluRay release this month he's done more.
The worst?
Darth Vader's 'Nooo!' in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (ACTUAL Blu-Ray Clip) - YouTube

yup...he added another NOOO!!!!! for Darth Vader, this time in ROTJ.

A funny read on the Star Wars movies

The guy is a master milking the most successful science fiction series of all time.
People want "new" crap when they buy dvds and blue rays and other re release formats, why else would you buy a blue ray copy of star wars, scar face (admit it scar face is one crappy movie), ... ET, killer clowns from outer space or some similar movie filmed on what is now lesser than a camera I had on a cell phone 10 years ago?

For the extra garbage that people think they care about.


Play on George... play on

Saw that and hate it. I wish he'd leave it alone.

I agree with everything here except the Scarface and George part.

I wish you hadn't pointed that out. Now meeting Skunk Baxter at the gas station has lost its meaning for me.

Didn't Peter Jackson do the same thing with "Lord of the Rings"? He added like 30-40 minutes of new footage after he released the original versions on DVD so people would run out and buy the "extended" version.

Except that footage makes it better. Not so much with the Star Wars franchise.

Am I a bad bad person in that I dont mind having little "extras" like this thrown in? Cripes, I've seen Star Wars so many times that when there's something different about it, it's like putting on a old familiar pair of pants and finding a dollar in the pocket.

Yeah, I would tend to agree if it was better, but the last batch of 'edits' went beyond the inconsistencies, and into stupid little animated skits (thinking of the dinosaur things on Tattoine). But when it's worse, it's like putting on an old pair of pants only to discover that they're too small, or there's a hole in the crotch.

No, you're not wrong in that per se Relic, but when it's blatant changes to existing well established footage, like completely replacing footage and dialogue between the Emperor and DarthVader in Empire and Jedi because it has to tie in inconsistencies poorly written into and created by the inferior later prequels, that is where it chaps my butt. And superimposing Hayden's head on Sebastian Shaw's body at the end of Jedi is unforgivable, no matter how you try to rationalize it.

I am all into adding old footage, like Jabba in the Hangar with Solo in Episode 4, (even tho the "fix" of Han stepping *over* Jabba's tail was weak)...

I hate Lucas so much. Stop ****ing with perfection *******. I understand he wants to make some cash but seriously get a new idea. Also stop touching great stuff you once did. You screwed up Star Wars with your crappy prequels and you screwed up Indy with that damn crystal skull...
