Imperial Intelligence stopped giving a damn when real Stormtroopers were subbed out with CGI versions. They felt slighted so they declared war on the Lucas camp as well.

You're right: if I were to assume the role of ISB officer, I should play it Putin...

Actually, we should ask ourselves the question: is our childr.... errr - I mean, can we treat this whole "fixing the classics" trend seriously? Doesn't it look to you that movie makers behave like a kid trying to rubber out stupid answers in a test after it was checked and then pretend that these were the original ones and the score was too low? I can understand that our civilization speeds up the "replacing old with new" process, but shouldn't it only apply to technology and not to movies? Doesn't it mean that they treat us all as the "common popcorn munchers" who can't see through the bells&whistles of the flick and see some other aspects of it, like the plot, acting, conveyed message etc.? Next time they're gonna "upgrade" other films, aimed at more demanding viewers, using the "lowest common denominator" so that they appeal more to a wide audience. So expect some sex, teen-humor, high-paced action and pop-music celebs to be added into "Schindler's List", "Passion", "Casablanca" ( "Play it again, Eminem..." ),...

And no, it wasn't supposed to be funny...
I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

Well, if it was a democracy, I'd say he has my vote. Alas...

I've never heard a better analogy in my life. You are so dead-on.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I'll wait and see what kind of crap they done to the film before I buy it.

If it is too severe, I'll just buy a laserdisc from Ebay.






Isn't is sad that I'd have to do this?!

My stance on revising fan edits.

this can be good for us or bad...

good - if releases both copies of the film.... he can do it for this but not star wars??
bad - if just one... again he screws his fanbase

It's intentional; it produces the desired effect.
