People like to make lists. Let’s say Lucasfilm makes a compromised “original-ish” dvd of Star Wars, and said “this is the best you’re gonna get nerds, you can have a handful of 1977 shots back in the movie”. Basically they use the audio from the 2006 dvd and the image from the 2004 set. Color issues aside, and with the “extra” shots simply cut out (the Jabba scene, Greedo’s gunshot etc.) I counted 11 of the 1977 shots that I considered “must haves” to be reintegrated. These aren’t to make the movie cooler or better, these are just to eliminate the stuff that screamed 1997 the most to me. These are the shots I just gotta have:
1.Ben’s hut
2. Mos Eisley-the shot that had a dinosaur and a falling jawa pasted over
3. “How long have you had these droids?”-without the dinosaur walking in front of everything
4.Mos Eisley-entering the cantina, without roaring dewback
5. wolfman drinking
6.Death Star-Han turns corner, runs into 5 stormtroopers instead of hundreds.
7.X-wings take off from the jungle
8.x-wings approach death star rearview
9. X-wings approach, front view
10. S-foils lock into attack position
11. death star blows up
What am i missing? What are your must-haves? Remember this isn’t to make the coolest ideal version, just the most 1977-ish.
