It might. When 2007 rolls around, Rick McCallum talked of how they were planning to release all past Star Wars specials/making ofs/TV work, etc. This would include the complete Droids/Ewoks animated series, which I would also like to see on DVD.

Myself, I want the holiday special on DVD so bad, I asked Leland Chee at the OS if he can put a word in about it.

However, as a 21st century viewer, I find the newer version a little more captivating, so I vote for the SE in this case.

I do wonder, however, why everyone seems to hate Vader's "NOOOOOO!!!!!" so much, but forgets about Luke's equally ultra-cheasy edition of it in ESB.


Luke's no in ESB = A kid that finds out that this guy in a big black suit is his father. Was in charge of the Stormtroopers, thus is responcible for his Aunt and, Uncle's death's and, a whole lot more deaths. He also, killed Obiwan and, didn't stop Alderan's distruction. He also, was going to kill him and, his friends without giving it a second thought. Until he had a conversation with the Emperor that made him decide to try to lure him to the Darkside. Oh, yeah and, before he told him he thought, he was the killer of his father.

Darth Vader's no in ROTS = After killing a whole bunch of people and, turning to the darkside. Then, thinking Padme turned against him. Force choked her and, was suprised to hear that he killed her....

Luke's no seems a lot more justifiable to me then Vader's... Though when I watched ROTS in the theaters I half expected an evil laugh from Vader.




Vader's "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" is VERY justified in that all of the evil acts he commited, all of the people he killed, the entuire reason he turned to the dark side in the first place, WAS TO SAVE PADME's life. And then, he is told that in this very anger, he killed her? I think that is quite the justified "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Read Mattew Stover's novelization, which gives a very in-depth look into his mind at that point, and gets into his feelings and the exact situation he was in.

that made me think of something. Vader/Anakin doesnt help his son until he sees Palpatine using the Lightning on him. Think maybe he realized that way back in the day when he was turned to the dark side, that maybe he didnt need to jump in to help out palpatine by cutting off mace's hands, think maybe it was just then he realized he was duped into 'rescuing' palpatine, who really didnt need to be rescued. hence why he decided to stop palpatine from zapping his son and toss him down the shaft.

just a thought.

Exactly. And it was a brilliant way to tie the PT and OT together.
