OT Special Editions to have USA Roadshow Summer '16 — Page 7

I wish Jango’s head fell out of the helmet when Boba picked it up.

…I don’t think Boba Fett is that sentimental. Not my Boba Fett, anyway.

I don’t know about you, but my Boba Fett isn’t a clone.

The blink and you’ll miss it shadow of his head falling out of the helmet after it was chopped off was seen in AOTC though, so it was empty when Boba picked it up.

Just the shadow? I swear I remember seeing the full head when last I watched it. That was about a year and a half ago and me and the friends I was watching with were hysterical from actually sitting through that movie, so my memory could be wrong.

Clearly. The ban can’t come soon enough.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

I HATE TO ADMIT WHEN A HUMAN IS SMART BUT HE KNOWS WHAT HE CAN GET AWAY WITH AND WHAT HE CANT

Too bad. He deserves it way more than IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer, coltonlolz, and Wario64

EDIT: Not that they didn’t deserve it.

I always assumed that the suit and Slave 1 were inherited by Boba, but Lucas got the colors wrong because he forgot to watch the original trilogy before filming the prequels.

I used to think perhaps it was Jango’s suit but the colors were starting to fade or something

I never cared. Not even back when I was younger, dumber, and enjoyed the prequels.

I think people who defend the 97 either do so out of nostalgia (if they were young when it came out or first saw the movies on a 97 VHS or something) or just because it’s older and has also been superseded by subsequent versions. Therefore it has some of that “I can’t have it, therefore it’s better” appeal due to its unavailability.

i am in the camp of those who first saw the 97 SE and that was all i saw for years. so yes, for me it is very much nostalgia as it was the only version i knew for a long time. if it was the first version you saw, i think you would feel much the same would you not?

You can’t fight nostalgia, or convince someone that they shouldn’t have it.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I agree. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it. If you like the 97 knock yourself out. It doesn’t hold any special appeal to me since I to this day have never actually seen them in their entirety; I started with the OOT on VHS and the first SE I saw was 04, so the 97 kind of seems like the worst of both worlds from my perspective. But I totally get why it wouldn’t to someone exposed to SW for the first time through the 97 SE. None of us would be here if we weren’t nostalgia nuts in one way or another.

I grew up with the 1997 Special Editions (they were a gift for Christmas one year after having seen the unaltered films at least once each beforehand) and watched them so much so that seeing the Originals years later was really weird, and it’s still a bit jarring now for the pan in the ice cave on Hoth to not show the Wampa.

That said, I don’t really have any nostalgia for the Special Editions.

I think the idea Lucas was shooting for in Attack of the Clones was that they’re the same suits, but repainted a few times and missing some parts by Empire. The Reek on Geonosis puts a dent in Jango’s helmet in about the same spot as Boba’s is dented (despite Jango’s being a dent and Boba’s looking more like blaster damage) and Boba’s armour has a silver base colour, which I feel is a bit of a silly idea.

They “retcon” this, I assume, in The Clone Wars where Jango’s helmet is destroyed in a certain episode (I won’t spoil anything though).

In the EU they have scenes where Boba replaces damaged parts of his armour with other pieces from a collection, which makes sense to me considering the differences between Empire and Jedi.

For the record, I’ve noticed the shadow before. I was just saying I wish… 😄

I haven’t seen that episode. Aurra Sing’s cameo in TPM made me think she would be in AOTC, but that never happened. Now it feels like a billboard for an action figure. I wonder if George lost interest in the character?

I thought Zam Wesell would be a bigger deal too. (Why does Jango need a third party to do his dirty work?) She’s in the movie just long enough to have the heroes chase after her, drop an important clue, and die.

Her scenes were commercials for the Coruscant Chase toys.

At this point I would even go see the 1997 SE, because all the real stupid shit didn’t go down until the 2004 release, that was the first time the theatricals and the SEs weren’t on an even playing field quality wise.

You’re not the first person to say something along these lines but I must say I just don’t get it.

All of the really stupid shit was there from the start (Jabba, Greedo [both of which got better in later versions], ronto and other Mos Eisley shenanigans, Luke screaming [removed later] ESB star destroyer bs, Jedi effing Rocks, sarlacc, etc.).

All 2004 added was new Emperor, new Boba, and new Hayden. Buuuut who really cares about new Emperor (some might call it an improvement), new Boba is pretty much the same as old Boba (I know I’ll get shit for this but it’s true), and Hayden is weird and doesn’t make sense but Shaw never made sense either.

People hate 2004 because it adds PT elements and everyone hates the PT. Buuuut they’re really nothing compared to the stain that the original SE left.

All the bad changes in 1997 combined (there are not that many that are bad anyway) cannot match Hayden insertion in terms of badness.

Hayden is probably my least favorite change, but the 1997 SE was already beyond what I could handle, so it didn’t make much difference.
