I can't believe people are judging a future (a year off still?!) bluray release on some screen caps from a documentary! There's every chance they - the makers of the documentary - grabbed what was available AT THE TIME when making it. Wouldn't surprise me if Lucasfilm are going through the films in order, or at least prequals first as they'd need less work than the originals in terms of bringing them to bluray. They're probably working on the originals now which is why they had to use the current transfers in that documentary.

It's not over till it's over, and a lot can happen in a year.......!

To pronounce you know what the new bluray transfers will look like from watching a documentary is pretty far-fetched IMHO and more than a little reactionary!

 Awww...how idealistic of you.

If you don't think the films from this set are done at this point, you're kidding yourself.

...and how very paranoid of you.

To be honest I'm done with this place - it's no longer fun to hang around here as an old-school fan. Very cliquey and utterly obsessed with fault finding, even to the point of ripping apart a set that has yet to be released and is a year away.

Enjoy your nit-picking folks (cue smart ass retort or oh so funny facepalm gif or animation from the usual suspects). I think I've just had enough of it all for now, the changes to the OT, AND the constant whinging too... off to read the news and get things back in perspective.

Clear skies!

Too late for a Dawson gif?

Why is everyone looking at me?

:p

Yeah, it's not fault finding, its just the realistic expectation. Maybe some stuff will be fixed like the lightsabers, but overall what we saw in 2004 there is no reason to doubt will be seen again in 2011. You don't need to throw a hissy fit over this, wow. It would be foolish to give Lucasfilm the unwarranted benefit of the doubt considering the previous decade of home video releases.

Lucas deserves no credit and no benefit of the doubt. the man is a worthless piece of shit. An out right LIER.

I truly believe  deep down Lucas hates star  wars. Maybe he blames  star wars for losing his wife marcia. Who knows. I personally believe his ego took over.

I have a 1996 entertainment weekly  where Lucas says he has no intention of directing episodes 2 and 3.  After episode 1 got bashed so bad he probably figured he had to redeem himself so he stepped up to the plate again and  struck  out.

His ego will not let him admit   his prequels which he did on his own SUCK. He hates the fact that the film that gets the mos praise episode  5 he  pretty much had NOTHING to do with. He now sees the entire franchise  a something that has ruined him name and reputation and uses it strictly has a tool now to make more money.

What?

You know all I hear on the internet from some star wars fans is GL is a lair and they call him names that I can't even say. Why? He created star wars and the prequels of star wars and the speical editions did'nt destroy the series but then again some fans think that way and I have no problem with that it's their opinion.  GL is not a bad guy so don't rip fans who support GL and LFL. And lastly insted of signing a petion to get the original cuts of the ot on blu-ray and complaning about it do something about it.  Petitions don't work and are not effective. We need another way to do it.

What can you do though? Lucas owns the legal copyrights. There is no legal recourse. You can try to change United States law to force a copyright holder who lawfully purchased said rights and who is also one of the main artists behind the films themselves to have their films wrenched away from them--but considering those things, this is not likely to go over well and would possibly require ammending copyright law and the US constitution. Not going to happen easily, and not going to happen period with all the more pressing matters the US has on its hands right now. The only real recourse people have is publically pressuring Lucasfilm to do so, if not for commercial profit then at least for their reputation. If you have any ideas, I can assure you we are all ears. But as you have not been here very long, let me assure you: we've looked at this situation from all angles. We simply have no rights in the matter.

well said Zombie84 and you make a lot of good points. Here's 1 idea write to LFL and nicely ask to release the original cuts along side the SE's on blu-ray.

Leaving aside your contention that Lucas is a "lair" (he has one, but he isn't one, unless there is an evil parasite inside him somewhere), isn't it obvious why people dislike him here?  Yes, he gave us Star Wars.  But he took it away.  I guarantee you if he just released the original movies in good quality, most of the complaints would melt away.

But you've been told this over and over.  And every time, you say something like "good point" or "well said," and then you come back a few weeks later and make the same lame points again.

"Good point" in 3...2...1...

GL is not a lair and he is not a evil person why can't you guys get that. The special editions are his perfered versions of the films I know some people don't like it but he is the filmmaker and he can release his films which ever why he want's to and I am ok with that as long as the original cuts are release along side them. 

This is like arguing with a wall...

Anyway, I already said he's probably not a lair, but how is that relevant?

GL is not a bad guy it's just that not all some fans think he is.

 AHHAHAHA ,Kenkraly2007  thats a brilliant idea why didnt know one think of that before?, when we say please release the original theatrical cuts we can put PLEASE in caps and he will not be able to refuse.

 Yet again you back up Lucas and Lucasfilm 100%, im still convinced you are Geogre Lucas or someone from Lucasfilm.
