wow. so totally forgive me - yeesh.

sorry that my post bugs you - I wasn't making a request (file formats, additions) just asking what I thought was a decent question related in part to the "princess/captain" change noted in a previous post above.

when i first saw the film at 4 yrs old, no it didn't bug me... no more than "there'll be no escape for the princess this time"

yet if the films are "the primary source of all known information about the Star Wars universe." why change the above line? was the film wrong??

like I said sorry, I wasn't trying to attack you. You make a good point about the "princess/captain" change, but the difference is although it is obviously 'correct' it doesn't make much sense based on other information provided in the film, and no it probably didn't bother me the first time but it has started to do so.

or why change the blue rebellion insignias in the breifing on Yavin 4, or the fact that Greedo didn't blink in the original, or any number of changes (which I LOVE) about this edit

i'm just grateful that adywan is doing this edit

there are many changes that I like in this edit and many which which I think are unnecessary, but I too am grateful to Adywan for the work he is putting in.

perhaps you missed this part of the post: "If not, no prob... just one of those lines that's always bugged me." I should have clarified with this caveat: "...just one of those lines that's bugged me since about the 80th time I saw the film on on VHS and found out (through a Lucas licensed product) that this droid was called R5-D4"


I guess this is where the difference of opinion come in, rather than the difference bugging me, I just find it amusing that they obviously didn't pay much attention when producing the licensed products and rather than just admitting they were wrong they have propagated loads of theories as to why Luke was wrong.

- I'll just keep my well intentioned questions to myself and stay a lurker until I see the final edit.
strike that - I'll just keep thanking adywan for his work.
you are entitled to thinking me daft, as I'm entitled to not liking that original line.

peace


please don't stop posting on my count, I was a bit harsh but really I was just trying to share an opinion, i don't think you daft and your opinions are just as valid as mine. To be honest my opinion matters very little as this edit will never become the version of Star Wars I watch, as i just don't think there are this many things that need changing.

But in the end the only thing that really matters what Adywan himself wants to include.
