To all those who support, or semi-support this release: YOU ARE PART OF THE FUCKING PROBLEM. The only way we have a chance of getting a proper release of the OOT is to refuse to purchase these films if they do not include it. If nobody bought these blu-rays, Lucasfilm would be shitting themselves and would release an...

You know what, fuck it. George probably wouldn't release the OOT just out of spite. Apparently the last time he viewed them publicly he was wincing and cringing when watching it. He fucking hates them because he has no fucking taste in good fucking movies anymore. TPM, AOTC, ROTS, Indy 4: they all point to this asshole's complete fucking idiocy, lack of restraint, and love for shitty and fucking unconvincing CGI.

So yes, go ahead and buy these for your oh-so-precious deleted scenes.

 

LMAO! So Spence, myself, Adywan, and others here at OT are the problem because we are still getting this Set? man I really have some things to say but I am sure I will get banned, some people!

Say it!!!!

Believe me I would like to, some people just type some of the DUMBEST shit.

I think THX1138 would have sold better with both versions and it still didn't matter to him. People buying/not buying this thing won't affect him unless it was millions, enough to make this box a flop, which won't happen.

I'm very skeptical of the idea that any boycott will send a meaningful message to Lucas, as the number of people who will buy the blurays is just too big.

I suggest a new strategy: Rather than focusing on "Don't buy the Blu-Rays because the changes suck", focus on "Wait to buy the eventual Original, unchanged release".

1. Hopefully has just as much of an impact, revenue-wise (however small that may be)
2. Focuses on a positive "Wait to buy" rather than a negative "Don't buy!"
3. Sets up the expectation of that as of yet unpromised release.

Well I do not think either approach will work, because of what you already have said,

"as the number of people who will buy the blurays is just too big."

It's a real shame people are still buying these JUST for the deleted scenes. I mean, they'll be on youtube the next day. And aren't they bad quality?

I know boycotting this release with achieve nothing, but come on. I want the deleted scenes as much as the next guy, but I'd never buy this crap.

I support fan editors picking this up... but it feels bad man =(

Maybe I'll pick a set up in a charity shop in time for when the fanedits using sections of them come out so I can download them with a clear conscience.

I won't get them directly that much is certain.

1. Wasn't there a rumor that the stormtroopers have been re-dubbed by Temuera Morrison? I didn't catch any dialog changes yet, did you?

2. OT A/V quality issues

I don't get it how people can find this release to be of good video quality. I could only think of the increased resolution, that let people buy this like there is no tomorrow.

The good thing about this is: for the next bluray release Lucasfilm will have to think of something else to get 'general' people to buy it.

General viewer don't care about colors, don't care about lightsaber colors, garbage mattes, small cgi-enhancements, audio changes.

Damn it, I found the answer myself: it will be 3D experience. So no need to fix anything, not even for the next blu ray release. :-(

The only hope is a single-movie release with OUT in HD as bonus.

So I'm the problem because I'm a Star Wars fan and am looking forward to purchasing the blu-ray set?

I get why this site exists, and I agree that George should release the Original Trilogy in good quality. He really should. But me buying Star Wars stuff is not part of the problem. The petitions won't work, boycotting the release won't work, and not buying a Commander Rex ultimate silver plated action figure will not work. Lucas has to decide to release the movies as they were, and he doesn't want to. That's the "fucking problem" as it was so eloquently put.

Can I just enjoy my Star Wars stuff in peace? Can't we all just get along?

Very nicely said Spence, and I agree.

The real problem is you people who saw these movies in the theater. 

...and enjoyed themselves. Look what's become!!! Theee Horrrorrrrr.

Okay, this thread exploded over the last couple days. I've simply skimmed over each page, I'm not gonna read each and every post on the last 15 pages.

My reactions:

-Jabba's Door - first off, why did they add this? Secondly, it looks terrible.

-The blinking eyes - so now they've actually created a continuity problem as the ewoks don't blink in the ewok movies.

-Han's de-freezing: You have got to be kidding me! Just like Jabba's new door, it looks terrible. What was the rationale for this anyway? It's almost as if Lucas is ashamed of the early 80's optical effects that don't gel with the look of the prequels, so he's just slathering it in bad photoshop.

-Obi-Wan's ridiculous howl: I'm not gonna lie, that literally made me laugh. Freakin' hilarious!!!

I'm sure there are more "surprises" yet to surface so I'll just leave my comments at that for now.

Yet.

You're absolutely right, and by that regard, we should actually have the Ewoks speaking English in ROTJ, since they do that in the Ewok movies. And they should CGI in 100% more Wilford Brimley. Who should blink.

all I can think of is that tweet Katie Lucas put out:  Haters are gonna hate, but, in the end, they're still going to buy it.  That's the (up until now extremely accurate) impression they have of us.

You're right.  I just cancelled my pre-order.  I hope I didn't just throw away my $40 gift certificate I used in the process.  But I just have to prove that spoiled brat wrong.

That short is 11 minutes and 38 seconds.

Speaking of the motif of 1138, I would have thought they could have added one to ROTJ.  Why does NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! have to be the theme when there are so many other threads running through the film, like the 1138's or the 327's or the I have a bad feeling about this's?

Sebulba's going to say "I have a bad feeling about this" 1138 times in 327 seconds.
