I'm not giving them another cent until they release the movies individually and in a boxed set.


The funny thing is that this is exactly what I've been theorizing they're up to. Well, I guess it's more that I'm hoping it's what they're up to, especially if we're ever going to see the OT get the Blade Runner treatment.


LOL This is funny. We're actually hoping Lucas treats Star Wars as well as the director of Blade Runner treated his movie, despite what Lucas has done in the past. I'm not holding my breath.

I would also hope that George realizes there are those of us who saw the prequels on the big screen and would like the '99 cut of TPM. I'm willing to give the omission of the 35mm version of AOTC a pass, even though I never got around to seeing the DLP projection. I lived just barely within walking distance of the only theater in the Commonwealth of Virginia that was showing AOTC in DLP, but I saw AOTC on 35mm at Union Station in DC on May 16th and it was more than a month before I thought "hmmm, maybe I should see it in DLP." But by that point they'd already switched it out for the DLP of Scooby-Doo.


I just checked the list of differences on Wikipedia. I must really have not been paying much attention the movie because I don't remember those things being different. The only one that kind of sticks out is the pod race sequence being longer on the DVD than in theaters. The bad parts are still bad though :P
