and please jimbo since you are such an intelligent person when it comes to things like this... give us some arguments against it...
as you said in your post...Quote
there are just as many arguements against it.
so go ahead and indulge us with your ideas... i cant wait to hear them...
and as for Lucas not caring... thats fine... i dont give a shit what he thinks either..
the guy has ruined the only movie for which he is known...
i think thats punishment enough for him...
as to Stale Elvis, WELCOME TO THE BOARDS MAN!
Glad to have you here!
i totally agree with everything your saying...
what im kinda curious about is if the people who did work which was not shown in the SE are still given credit in the credits...
get me??
i've gotta check up on both the OT and SE credits and see if anyone is missing..
Alright the main arguement against it is that the original versions are work prints. Lucas could release five or six versions to show how the movie evolved or just show the final version. As for the original work being replaced its not the first time that happened in movies. You ever hear of deleted scenes. Often an actor or character will make an appearance in deleted scenes and then be deleted. How is this different. Its something that happens with just about all movies. Plus very few of the Special Edition changes actually erases original effects. For example in Hoth snow battle deleting the matte lines around the ships isn't destroying the original work. Those were never meant to be shown. Also the rings around the ships didn't cover up any of the exsisting work on the explosion just added to it. The most of the so called replacing is effects that are just bad. For example replacing those model dewbacks was great because frankly I didn't even know the original dewbacks were suppose to be creatures. Or replacing the white bloob ships with detailed digital models.
