Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!) — Page 248

Execute Page 66. >:)

I think I'm just going to read the novelizations from now on or listen to the radio drama's.  The brain's resolution is unlimited.

LOL. Acquiring Wookieegroomer's 1080p simply to have a record of the 2004 in high quality (broke down and bought the GOUT DVDs at $10 a pop at Best Buy a few years ago). Thank the stars for DJ, Harmy, Ady, ABC, puggo, and all the rest for keeping this piece of classic cinema alive

LOL. The Ep III novelization is also actually a pretty well-written piece of work

I guess i should clarify that i'll only be reading sw,esb, and rotj.  Maybe the Thrawn trilogy and splinter of the mind's eye. 

Splinter was boring. Heck all the old novelizations don't really do it for me, but if it works for you it work. Nothing has come close to Thrawn yet for me. Reading the X-Wing books now, which get progressively better. I think Allston is also clearly a better writer than Stackpole, and neither of them touch Zahn

He's been stalking me and quoting my posts for a few days. It's probably best to ignore him, as it's clear he hasn't made an effort to understand a very simple point demonstrated by Lucas putting prequel content in the originals, focusing the movie names on "episode #" rather than main title, etc.

I could very well ask this guy to prove that George Lucas only wants people to accept the prequels as part of the saga instead of liking them as much as the originals. Could he prove it? Nope. Hopefully this poster stops spamming the thread with his redundant, illogical statements and petty squabbling over semantics.

That's because he is Beast.

As long as we get our Original Theatrical versions alongside the Special Edition, Lucas can CGI Yoda wherever he wants.  But we all know that won't happen any time soon.

The best hope for us is to wish SW never existed in the first place.

Dude, shut the hell up, stop moping around this forum, and go download Harmy's or dark_jedi's preservations.

Jesus Christ, yes. Stop crying. It's not the end of the world. Star Wars as we want it still exists and is still awesome. It's just not official.

I actually preferred Stackpole myself. I could follow his action scenes better. Though the whole X-wing series is my favorite after the Thrawn books. This whole thing's driving me back to them after The New Jedi Order pretty much killed it. I have Zahn's new book sitting next to me right now.

Radio Drama wise, they nailed Vader turning on the Emperor way better than this crap. It actually gives me chills.

Mmm, maybe the action scenes were easier to track in Stackpole, but I found the action in Allston to be more interesting anyway? Dogfighting doesn't interest me as much as solid characterization and dialogue in this class of books, and Allston definitely does those better; every character in Stackpole's books sounds extremely similar and way, way too cerebral and in control (though he gets marginally better at this in the third and fourth books).

Is the NJO that bad? Is it not worth even starting? I tried to read Jedi Search a few months ago, and it was god-awful, piss-poor writing that I really, really don't wanna put myself through. If NJO is the same, I will not bother.

Quality of the image is incredible, yes, but it doesn't fix the fact that all of the colors are still terrible. No stars in the space shots, Yoda is blue, etc.

The Jedi Academy series seems to be hit or miss to some people. Vector Prime was good (I actually read it before the surprise at the end was publicized), Dark Tide was actually fantastic (though like I said, I like Stackpole and he develops the Yuuzan Vong well), it was Agents of Chaos that really sapped it for me. Took years to get through those books. Balance Point is where I am, which is shocking when I read that Vector Prime is like 10 years old. Though I hear those two are the low points of the saga.

So much has been spoiled now as it is (I know most of who dies), but I'll finish them some day. I hear Star by Star is incredible. I'd say at least read the first three and see if you can stomach AoC. They're not the worse Star Wars books I've read (that dubious honor likely goes to Planet of Twilight and the non-Lando segments of The Black Fleet Crisis), but they sure didn't hold my interest.

Here's the Radio Drama's take on the scene for those that haven't heard it (in a vain attempt to stay on topic):
