Okay, about this blasted scene again, somehow it always comes back to just this one scene. While we were busy checking the original versions we completely missed all the other, often rather fake looking, changes GL made to these films. I mean how many X-wings is a small rebel outpost meant to have???? Originally maybe two dozen, digitally all of a sudden they have more X-wings than there are TIE-Fighters in the whole first film.
ESB goes on with this farce when running through Cloud City all of a sudden nearly every wall has become a window. Continuity is definitely lost here due to the fact that the backdrops were not coordinated properly and thus are just additions made GL just for the sake of saying: "Look I've changed more than just the models, I've added a completely new backdrop to show that it is necessary for me to release these films again."
This, of course, is not a quote.
Somehow GL seems to think that artistic license is more important than what the fans feel. Having bought the the trilogy box set on DVD, I proceeded to watch the documentaries. Here it is clearly stated that if it weren't for the fans making such a big deal of all this before Star Wars was even released, there would have been no incentive for people to go and see this film. Therefore Star Wars is not solely the artistic property of GL but, I would say, that the fans have more rights to decide about the fates of these masterpieces than this genius that seems to have gotten too used to the idea of being called a genius.
George, get over it. Not all your films are brilliant but you do have talent. Don't waste it because you want to be the spoiled brat that has to have it his way because he sees it like that.
Of course, please don't get me started on my views of the PT.........
