iv been a starwars lover since year zero, but i only ever saw it on tv. they were sacred moments, you couldnt pause it or leave the room or barely blink. i took ages to get into dvd and never realised till i thought about buying it that it wouldnt be there. i remember the horible feeling creeping over me.
obviously i miss the cleaned up effects, we should all be allowed OT like that, thats just basic ongoing preservation that happens with all films over time. Biggs and luke was good, and thats it, although i must admit i'm a sucker for that wonderful shot of the falcon rising from mos eisly hanger but it aint important.
i just dont get this guy, he must have films hes sentimental about and wouldnt want changed, so why cant he empathise with our plight?
when i first heard about TPM being made, my first stupid thought was "BRILL! hows he gona make that fit?- its a prequal , so he'll have to revert to old movie making skills, modles and so on so it looks in keeping." (imagin if he really took an insightful sort of aproach like that)
it seems to me budget limitations can do wonders for films because it forces greater creative talent and development into other areas of a film if somthing is not achivable making it a better film overall, giving it longevity like SW had.
i spent months in shock related denial after the wishy washy phantom menace, i kept telling people i thought it was good. it must have helped my heartache. untill one day i gave in and was honest with myself.
did anyone just think they'd had a funny turn in the cinema when they saw greedo shoot first? i really thought it was my mistake. even after i saw all the other changes i never thought about that scene again untill i bought the SE on video.
and does anyone know what his obsesion with ring explosions is? i thought they belonged in star trek. i have a suspision he nicked it, in fact wasnt there one in star trek 6 or somthing?
my 3 fave explosions are:
1. Deathstar 2 reactor core (internal)
2. shield generator
3. OT Deathstar (surreal)
for a while there i thought i was alone. Phew!
"I'm sorry i dont think i understand"
DVD set, then the wars can continue. The set comes out next month guys; this is the calm before the storm.
