its like waking up in the "Twillite Zone". I still can not get over this news.

You know of course that now that the world is going to end in August!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

No, we'll just have a heck of a time thawing out Hell.

I will absolutely buy multiple copies of this version.......IF the QC on this release is better than the previous DVD release. I think everyone should have a chance to see Star Wars in its original colors.

<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

Can you sue someone who owns the copyright to the character? Then again, "Han" could be a real name, so maybe copyright doesn't apply.

I can't believe they're actually trying to make a Han Shot First t-shirt! It almost seems wrong somehow. I expected a low-key, "Fine, we're giving you what you want... grumble" release. Instead, they're acting like we would if we somehow got our hands on the original footage and were able to release it to the public. A Han Shot First t-shirt is akin to them kicking themselves in the balls and making fun of Lucas's comment (which was just posted in a thread a mere few days ago) that he always intended for Greedo to shoot first. Was Lucas replaced by a clone?!

I just went back and re-read the starwars.com article out of sheer joy and noticed that it has been altered since the last time I read it. It now refers to the theatrical cuts as "bonus material" for the 2004 releases and no longer mentions the absence of the "Episode IV: A New Hope" subtitle. I wonder what it means, and why it was changed. Compare the version that Nanner Split has (thankfully) quoted at the top of this thread compared to how it reads now. Doesn't make much sense to me why it was shortened and changed.

So will it be a cleaned up version of the original films, or just a straight transfer?? If it's the latter, then there's still gonna be a helleva lot of guys still transfering the LD and whatnot round here!!?

LOL, I was just watching the '97 SE of ROTJ today and I was clamouring for that song at the end. Just to see Sebastian Shaw smiling back at me though was enough for me.

But tonight, I had an orgasm after reading that announcement. I feel a peace inside me - like a warm orb in my centre.
MTFBWY. Always.

* Yub Nub playing, people celebrating *

So I get out of the celebration, and look to the side, and there is Alec Guiness smiling at me, and Sebastian Shawn, finally back to the movie... And since Frank Oz is not dead yet, there's Richard Nixon there too, smiling, dressed as a Jedi.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

According to a statement on the SciFi website from a LucasFilm spokesman regarding transfer quality:

"It is state of the art, as of 1993, and that's not as good as the state of the art of 2006"

Lucas is still trying to declare victory though...

This new set of DVDs does not constitute "George changing his mind," Lucasfilm's Jim Ward told USA Today. "What we've always said is George viewed the revised versions of the films as the definitive versions."

My favorite line from the press release...

Yeah, must've stepped on Lucas's toes or something. I hope that's all it is, though. The pre-ANH title crawl would be awesome. I hope Lucasfilm doesn't short-change us yet again.

Can we mount some kind of StarWars.com forum campaign to make our voices heard? Doesn't look like the official site allows for direct email access to them, the dodgy bunch!

Why can't they release this in a boxset, though? We'll have to shell out $90 for this. Is anybody else annoyed by this?

I knew I'd find something like this without having to look too hard. From the starwars.com message board thread about this, amid a lot of positive rejoicing about getting the originals.

Orignally Posted by Lieutenant Wiggum Jansen[br]Who thinks the whining will stop here?

Personally, I think Lucas should have had the cojones to preserve his vision of the films.

Nevertheless, the extras have me $old too!! Of course. I won't ever consider these inferior versions to be part of the Saga, though.

You betcha I'll be cueing up Lapti Nek and Ewok Celebration just for giggles.

I'm glad for this DVD, the historical preservationists out there who love the SpEds and support the Prequels deserve it.
