⭐ Star Wars' 50th anniversary in 2027 ⭐ | Your hopes and expectations (if any)... — Page 32

One thing I can think of is it will be nice to sit down and watch a restored original trilogy if we get a physical release. And for the first time since 1997 not seeing Hayden Christensen in Return of the Jedi. That will be worth it alone.

Even better reverting Jedi Rocks and Victory Celebration and going back to Lapti Nek and Yub Yub.

And it will be nice to have the experience one wanted in 2004 but was denied, the ability to watch the OT without prequel added things. Prequel intrusions. Restore the dialogue of Clive Revill and Jason Wingreen. Bring my shuttle line restored. Get rid of all the cgi Millennium Falcon shots. Cgi X-wings. in the original film.

Remove Greedo shooting.

Make sure Vader does not yell noooo, like in 2011.

Remove blinking Ewoks on Endor, and cgi door at Jabbas on Tatooine. Restore the original Krayt dragon call of Obi-Wan. No rocks in front of Artoo.

Don’t hire whoever did the deliberate creative decision soundmix on the 2004 dvd.

The life of a hair is difficult; sometimes we’re in a film for 50 years, and other times we’re fired and digitally erased, robbing us of our moment to shine on the big screen…

*Since 2003. Sebastian Shaw wasn’t changed to Hayden Christensen until the 2004 DVD release. Same goes for Clive Revill, Jason Wingreen, etc

If you go back and read the whole thread it’s pretty obvious none of the changes are being included. Pure original 1977-1983 versions of the films.

I meant Seb Shaw was last seen in 1997 and not since. I realize Hayden was added in 2004. Glad to see it’s what everyone wanted since like the DVD format began. No alterations just the original films.

Now that we’re finally getting the original and can relax a bit, someone should do a fan edit with the objectively WORST possible versions of everything, just for fun, kind of like the opposite of Hal 9000s custom SE’s.

I’m talking ‘97 Jabba, Luke’s ‘97 scream, Vader’s pace destroying joyride, Jedi Rocks, rocks infront of R2, Ben’s 2011 yell, the ‘97 entrance shot of the speeder with the awful pink tint, but also use the original speeder shot with the orange blob underneath. Keep every matte line and composite from the original release, use the most flawed shots from the original like the Falcon sitting in the hangar or the cardboard cutout rebels at the end, or the speeder shot after Luke says he wants to be a Jedi.
You could even make custom combinations of certain scenes. Like use the awful CGI Dewback scene but then keep the original sandcrawler miniature shot, or use the original Emperor but with the added dialogue, or Yub Nub with Hayden. Or worst of all, the ‘97 Greedo scene but with Macklunkey added in 😂

I think it would be very telling to put every single awful change into one version, along with all the flaws of the original, just to showcase how bad some things were all together at once

We could call it “The Holiday Special cut”

Sometimes, against all other possible explanation, you’re digitally added back in just to be yoinked back out again.
