That's really disturbing if they've banned your IP for no apparent reason. Have you tried looking at it from another location, like a starbucks?

Just tried it from work... I'm not banned from there.

Well, that's just weird. Why on earth would they ban you? I don't think the PG has ever been talked about over there...

Don't you guys get it?  George just has his finger on the pulse of the fanbase.  He knows how much everyone loved the "Nooooooo!" from Revenge of the Sith.  It was a worldwide phenomenon with websites devoted to it and everything.  So he decided to give us all what we wanted by putting TWO more of them into Return of the Jedi.  When he re-re-re-re-releases them in 2018, there will be at least five occasions of "Nooooooo!" in every single movie.  And you know that part at the end of the credits in The Phantom Menace that was originally Darth Vader breathing?  In 2018... it will be a "Nooooooo!"

I'm getting great ideas for a little montage... Take classic endings, and then put in the "Noooo noooooooo!!!!"

Casablanca: Humphrey Bogart sees Ingrid Bergman fly away... He then belts out "Noooo, NOOOOOO!!!"

Godfather Part 2: Michael Corleone is sitting alone, reminiscing about happier times. Final shot: the camera dollies towards his face..."Noooo! NOOOOOOOO!"

ET: Elliott watches his alien friend fly away... "Nooo! NOOOOOOOO!"

(man I'm just getting started!)

Please tell me it's Harmy pulling our legs.

Not this time, buddy. And I say that sadly. On the other hand, to be honest I'll never watch the Blu-Ray versions as they are, so sound changes don't bother me whatsoever because we have many talented people here who I'm sure will be able to fix these things absolutely seamlessly.

Now, the Ewok eyes, that's fucking creepy. The idea is pretty good to be honest (for a SE that is) because the Ewoks look awfully fake and this will make them more alive. But the execution is not that great, it really does make him look creepy.

That's right, it's great that one of the most iconic prequel moments is finally getting the respect it deserves. I suggest the "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!" is added to Star Wars when Vader loses control of his TIE.  And then to ESB when he enters the Hoth hangar and the falcon is just leaving, or after Luke jumps, or both.

Seriously this has to be George just giving us the finger.

 

I quite believe it is just that from a psychological point of view. People disliked the prequels. "Nooooooo!" was a rightful target for mockery of the PT and its varied, numerous faults. Lucas is butthurt by these things, which is why he drastically reduced Jar Jar's role in AOTC. He hears the fans. He listens to them. He may not do what they ask for, but he hears them.

So, adding "Noooo!" twice to that crucial scene is Lucas' way of telling fans they're his movies, he can do what he wants, and you're going to buy it anyways. I'm not saying that's his literal intention, just that it could be a subdued psychological driving factor.

Take something the fans hated in the PT and put it in the OT. Remind them that they're his movies and it's all supposed to be one saga of Darth Vader. "It's poetry, it sort of rhymes." Diminish the work of more talented directors, writers, and producers so that your fingerprint on the entire saga is clear in every scene and every frame.

That "No" isn't true. It's impossible. You'd think if Lucas always intended Vader to say "no" HE WOULD HAVE HAD HIM DO IT BEFORE NOW.

Search your feelings, L00k5, you know it to be true!

Seriously you guys, no one else saw the bump and set?

Also, the Luke yelling while jumping/falling that was out->in->out.  That could have been done in 1980.

Maybe as the Death Star explodes, Michael can add an echo-y "noooo!!!" in the background (in both SW and ROTJ).  And the CGI folks could add an angry-looking giant CGI force ghost of Hayden's face filling the screen, leering right at us.  That would be cool.

Was that...a sports reference?  From xhonzi?

 I'm pretty sure it's a joke reference.

But how can we be sure?

This topic title is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it.

Just found one of the alterations done to Episode 4

I made the preview tiny just in case people don't want spoilers. Just click on the image to view

REALLY? That's pointless. Beyond belief.

How did he get back there?

Um... seriously?  Besides what bkev said about pointlessness, I'm having a hard time figuring out how R2 would even fit in there in the first place!

EDIT:  Oh, doubleofive beat me to it.  But, really, I guess we now know what they spent all those years working on.  It wasn't fixing the 2004 mistakes.  It was making hundreds of little alterations for the sake of making alterations.
