I know this is all old, but it really sucks that Richard Marquand is dead and yet an entire MUSICAL NUMBER and altered ending was put into the movie he directed. How come the DGA or some artist's rights group isn't more pissed off about that? (even if Marquand wasn't a member then, they get pissed over a lot less). And it doesn't matter that Lucas paid the bills, etc. He had a cow when the studio cut 3 minutes out of American Graffiti. Ugh, how can I still be aggravated by this? I thought I'd be over it by now. That bearded fruitcake.

If you notice ESB is the least changed cause Kershner is still alive. The original SW is Lucas's movie, so that has the most changes, ROTJ has the second most changes, and to me the most major changes, cause Marquard died in 1987. If you Marquard were alive, we would still have Sebastian Shaw........................

And i have a feeling Marquand would be fine with the musical number, especially since he already was shooting a musical number in Jedi to begin with (it was edited down because the technology was thankfully not yet advanced to allow filmmakers to produce such crap). Marquand was what we calla puppet director. ROTJ was always more Lucas' film than Marquand.

As for why does Empire have the least changes, I think it is because it 'needed' the least changes. It didn't have any musical numbers, earlier film techology, etc, and no contridictary references to the preqels (Anakin force ghost). Although Empire is seeing its fair number of changes, such as the poorly done Ian McDiarmid as the emperor instead of Clive Revel.

Oh and the DVDs from Nickelodeon were "Invader Zim." Nick really treated that show like crap. But at least they sucked up their pride and gave us the DVDs after they saw how mad us fans had become.

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

Lucas would make a good chunk of change if he released the OOT on DVD, no doubt about it. But his eventual release (because it WILL happen) of the OOT will not be for money. It will be due to pressure from the fans and the company, or his eventual death. But doing it for the money? No. Lucas has stated many times that he would actually loose money if he put it out on DVD (which is bull, but then again Lucas likes to make up crazy crap all the time.)

What the hell is Lucas smoking? I know it doesn't cost that much to release movies on DVD. If anything movies that have died in the box office have actually made more money on DVD mainly because of the turnaround. What he is thinking s that all the marketing cost and hype of releasing the O-OT would make him lose money. But the acual cost of makeing the discs should be nil. And we know he has nice clean versions of the O-OT without the additions. Not everything they release on DVD has to have a huge marketing push. A modest one will get the news out. Lucas if you release it we will buy. And tha's the bottom line.

Not to spam: But they're finally coming. This September.
We'll see how much these things really sell now, won't we. Of course, you have to buy em in a 2 disc set with the 2004 versions, but hey.
