I like it, Luke, and I'm trying to picture it in a Hyperspace-exclusive trailer right now...'First we screwed you over when we charged you $50 a year to see generic behind-the-scenes footage of Episode III, but that's nothing compared the total anal rape your wallet's going to suffer when we give you STAR WARS: THE SUPER-SCREWING-THE-CUSTOMERS EDITION!' It would also probably feature a snippet from a documentary showing footage of fans placing money at the base of a George Lucas/Buddha shrine on Skywalker Ranch, or something like that....


LMFAO!!
that was smooth...
i can already hear the deep voiceover of "'First we screwed you over when we charged you $50 a year to see generic behind-the-scenes footage of Episode III, but that's nothing compared the total anal rape your wallet's going to suffer when we give you STAR WARS: THE SUPER-SCREWING-THE-CUSTOMERS EDITION!'

once again... very nice!!

The SUPER-SCREWING-THE-CUSTOMERS EDITION!

Watch! Greedo shooting Han Solo first, not once, but five times, while Solo whines and begs for his life!

Watch! As the whole gang sings "We'll Meet Again" at the end of Revenge of the Jedi!

Watch! A stop-motion claymation Jabba acting with a CGI Han Solo in a never seen before scene in A New Hope!

Watch! The sarlacc pit now sings with Rick Moranis and Steve Martin, as in Little Shop of Horrors!

Watch! The new and improved trilogy with comentaries by the master creator George Lucas: "Hahaha screw you, hippies!"

Now available for a whole lot of money you should be spending by paying you bills!

Watch! As Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader put down their lightsabers for a rousing chorus of "Why Can't We Be Friends?"...
"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia'."

Real news on the front is theforce.net has confirmed that Naboo has been added to the end celebration in Return of the Jedi.

Yeah, I just read that too, Jimbo. Here's the complete snippet from TFN regarding what information they know, or believe they know for certain:

'SW on DVD: Long Lead Press Day
Tue, Jun 22, 04 06:46:52 PM EDT

'According to our sources, Lucasfilm hosted a press day today for long lead publications like magazines and international papers. The focus of the day's events were to give them an exclusive preview of the Classic Star Wars Trilogy on DVD. The official 4-disc set debuts in September with online and short-lead having their preview sometime next month or early August.
'While we've yet to hear anything substantial about the days events as of yet, this post is just to let you know that people out there have now seen Star Wars on DVD, they've witnessed some of the changes themselves and we'll all know soon enough all of the intricate details of the release. So far we believe we can confirm Hayden being added to ROJ and Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor in the Trilogy. Naboo is also included in the ending celebrations and there's another pass on Jabba in ANH.
'More as we hear it!'

And here I was starting to wonder if I had jumped to conclusions on the Anakin thing, but it looks like I didn't. Buying my copies off of Rikter seems like a better idea all the time.

It sure can! Monty Python is universal, and that's why I love it so much.

anyone else find it funny that the Death Star was barely recognizable by ben and the gang in ANH when the tractor beam gets them....
however it can be seen from Endor, Cloud City, Tatooine, Corrusant, and now Naboo...

lol Lucas just doesnt think does he?

You're right, Luke. I hadn't thought of it before, but it's true. I can understand it being seen from Endor, since it's orbiting the moon, but everybody else seems to know immediately that the Death Star II has been destroyed. I mean, come one, Lucas! It's not like everybody would've been free of Imperial control the evening after it was blown to shards.

Bullshit. The death star wasn't seen from any of those planets. Word that the Galatic Empire had surrendered is big news and would travel very fast. Thats a very stupid complaint.

Not the strongest complaint, I'll give you that, Jimbo. But the news just seems to have traveled a little too fast to be feasible, and the only other option is for them to have actually seen the blast (again, not too feasible). Luke's comment had humorous irony to it.

They did not see the blast. Hellow in the Star Wars universe they can travel accross the galaxy in a matter of weeks. Therefore news this important could easily travel that in a matter of days. Official one of the dumbest complaints I have ever heard.

Now we have six confirmed changes

1. Fixed Lightsabers - We can see this in the trailer. This is a change that really should have been made in 1997. Thank God its finally being made now.

2. Change in Emperor hollogram - Creates better continuality with Return of the Jedi and the Prequals. I personally like this change.

3. Fixing Jabba- many complained about the old Jabba animation looking fake. I am glad it has been improved

4. Naboo in celebration - Creates more continuality and is a good change.

5. Han and Greedo - Yeah Greedo still shoots first. But the scene was modified to not look so technologically bad. I still like it better in its original form.

6. Haydens head is now Anakins Ghost - I hate hate hate this change. I signed the petition after hearing of it. It ruins continutallity, it is disrespectful to the memory of the original Anikan, and it creates a plot hole of how Luke recognizes him. I have nothing against Hadyan please God leave that scene alone.

ROTFLMAO! This still gets me every time!

This is most certainly not in the trailer.

And, BTW, absolutely nothing has been confirmed yet. Just because you see something at theforce.net does not mean it's confirmed. These changes are heavily rumored and perhaps likely, but not confirmed.

Greedo shoots first? Not in my DVD player.

Hello these are from people who have seen the DVDs. Yes these are confirmed. If the bits says there confirmed there confirmed. Yes I could have sworn the lightsabers looked improved in the trailer.

Nothing is confirmed unless it's from Lucasfilm. But post some links anyway.

As for the sabers...

Alright forget it I was wrong about that but I would bet my life that these are not exactly the same as the 1997 editions.
