I recant my earlier apology.....if you all want to be gullible, be my guest...but I will continue to grill morons like this who are just here screwing with us.

Sour grapes much?

You obviously don't get what I said. Raul there could name of any of a half-dozen restoration artists. Richard Harris, Bill Hunt, etc. Do you really think someone who hasn't even officially signed onto this project and is still in talks is going to release something as potentially explosive as that, especially given the fact that the Limited Edition films were released last week? And your whole argument essentially boiled down to "give me a name and we'll know you're telling the truth". That proves absolutely nothing, other than the fact that the person exists, and yet you still use that silly and illogical statement.

I just get picked on cuz I'm so venomous....which is all right. Somebody's gotta do it....


Don't you DARE try to act like a victim when I call you on something. I read Scruffy's post, and although I do agree with most of what he's saying, I don't think someone will even allude to a project as sensitive as this (not to mention it's still in a pre-planning stage).

As I said before, I have suspect feelings about whether a person is telling the truth or not, especially on the internet. Anyone can come on and make up some cockamamie story, but you always have to remain somewhat neutral about it. I didn't "come down on you" for going after someone. I came down on you because you called me an idiot, and then you try to rationalize with some bull excuse about being "venomous". You have never met me, and you never will meet me, so don't you EVER talk to me like that, do you understand? I came here for a lively discussion with other users, not to have a pissing contest with a 12-year old. Don't even bother mentioning my name again, because I don't want to hear it.

As to the subject at hand, I've been waiting a while to buy any release, and if I have to wait another year to get all the movies in one fell swoop complete with all the bells and whistles, so be it. I don't have a blind allegiance to buy every single product that Lucasfilm churns out. I waited ten years since the Faces release, and I know that the Saga set is where my money is going, regardless of whether it has the OUT or not.

Even if I gave you my sources name that won't help you. I have given you all the information I have. The prototypes for the 2004 DVD boxes are being considered for the 30th Anniversary. The SE are going to get their FINAL definitive changes and the OOT is being restored and will be anamorphic as part of the sets. Beyond that I can provide a few more tiny specifics. I don't really have anything else right now that would satisfy you for proof. I have said before that I will give you more info as it comes to me. If you don't want me to post anything else about the DVDs I won't. I guess being excited as a Star Wars fan and wanting to share with originaltrilogy.com isn't enough



Is there an echo in here? We have heard all this before.

But I was wrong about that too.

Someone somewhere would complain about Beru's voice being different than that "magical opening night" they remembered.

Bet on it.


Lucasfilm could try including both versions of Beru's voice. That might help. In any case, anamorphic transfers are not asking a lot. If these discs had been good anamorphic transfers, then there would have, of course, still been legitimate complaints, such as the multiple audio tracks, but it would have at least met industry standards. That's right, Star Wars fans will always have criticisms. But you know what? Lucas decided to create the SEs and the PT. That's fine. But these are the consequence of attempting to bury the originals. He's brought this on himself.
The only one really effected in any detrimental way by the people who always complain about Star Wars are the complainers themselves.

Lucas could possibly put a couple audio tracks on there, but there there would be other things to compalin about that I haven't even conceived yet. It's like playing whack a mole, and a not very fun game of whack a mole at that.

It's no skin off his back if he can't please everyone on the planet. As long as he pleases more than his fair share, he's golden.

So that's the new standard of proof?

Hay guys, the 30th Anniversary Box Set of Star Wars will contain a tiny vial of Anthony Daniels's blood, which Lucas has been slowly collecting and freezing since the 1970s. It's not impossible!

Sure you can, I'm listening. Just give us some more insight on your contact. Don't have to mention any names. What does she do? Who does she work for? What is her official title? etc...

Then send it to us via PM. Anything you can transmit via telepathy you can transmit via the internet. And I've seen some things on the internet that are probably impossible to transmit telepathically.

No shit. We all understand that. You'd have to be pretty stupid to not realize that.

Lucas knows if this 30th Anniversary isn't perfect the payoff isn't going to be there. My source is related to a Lucasfilm employee. Understand that the 30th Anniversary is not that far away. The information I have provided you has been well known throughout LFL for quite some time. I guess nobody on these threads really pays attention to marketing and George's strategy. IT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE FROM A BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW.

If you understand 20th Century MARK then why are my statements so unbelievable? If eveybody here knows Lucas they way they THINK they do I have given you a very plausable 2007 to consider.

Hello to everyone,

after having read almost the whole thread, I think I should say something.

Some of us do behave like little kids in the Kindergarten. I always thought, that there are grown-up people here, but it seems to me, that the fire of youth , gets some peoples mind clouded. Or, as Yoda says: Told you I did; reckless is he.

OK , to get one thing straight: I am a fan since 1978 when Krieg der Sterne came out here in Germany. Now I am 40 ys old and have an 7 year old boy, who follows his fathers footsteps

To Raoul 2106: I understand your point. I do really wish, that all your words hopefully come true. I wish sincerelly, that you are not the fool who is dazzled.

To all others: Yes, this is www. Some information should be considered with criticism. This is breaking news. But let us all cool down and do not harm one another with sometime to harsh wording. Let us wait and see: Patience!

To Zion or any other moderator: Please close this thread. I do not think that there will be further new info, instead I fear more insulting and infantile behaviour.

One last word to Raoul:
Until there is further, neutral proof, thank you for this Information. Please hold back until you have further , more "substantially" news. Never mind, I wish, I really do wish, all this might come true. And time will show.

Don´t let us forget: Star Wars is mostly having fun. It is worth arguing, but not for any cost

May the force be with us ........ and some of Yoda´s wisdom.


Greeting to the World from Germany

Why don't you be so kind as to specifically state the proof. What is it you want? I mean I could give you my source but since she is not a lucasfilm employee and doesn't want me giving out her name I think that would be wrong. Also. I have no problem posting new information as I get it. I believe I have backed up my words with specifics and adult reasoning. The bottomline is everybody here is free to believe whatever they want. I can lead a horse to water but I can't make him drink SO WHATEVER!

crazyrabbits.....

First thing.....Bill Hunt is NOT a preservation artist. He's an online reviewer at best. Pull your head out of your ass and get your shit straight.

Second thing....you didn't call me on shit....so don't pull that fucking crap on me. PISS OFF!!!

The rest of your post is idiotic shit...let me make it clear for you....SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Keep thinking you're in a pissing contest with a 12 year old and you WILL get pissed on.

Moron.

Raul how is LFL going to get round their statement when they said they had no plans to restore them, and are they gonna claim that George is now being generous because all they have gone on about is them not being his "vision" so they cant put the effort to restoring them, how are they getting round this????

I don't think that's really neccessary. So what if this guy is just spouting a bunch of crap?

And so what if most of us don't believe you Raul?

Come next year the proof will come out. Until then we have you saying you know what you are talking about, and the rest of us saying: "Really? That sounds too good to be true".

This particular subject has run it's course.

Cable-X1 You dim witted SOB... You people need to refer back to my earlier post. I already explained how LFL will get around what they already said about the OOT. Remember they have pulled crap like this before.
