I want new stormtrooper voices, Lukes line of "I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her." removed, improved lightsabers, CG Tantive IV in ANH, improved general effects, Kashyyyk added to the end of ROTJ, and the audio in ANH fixed. By the way, I found this cool pic on the ROTS DVD of Ian McDiarmid shooting the 2004 DVD Palps scene:

From a certain point of view...

I know you not banned from T.F.n or S.W com I was joking that why I put the smilie there, I dont give a crap what version you like, but dont preach and say somethings horrible because you dont think it goes with your holy Saga


OK, I'll try not to, that is, if I don't find people doing the same to the version I like.

You are correct in saying it works on its own. It could have easily been one classic, standalone film, admired for all time, in the way of "2001" and "Blade Runner." But, he chose to continue the story, which was also a good thing.

You know, on a similar note, I think that it really would be interesting if, when Lucas finally releases the ANH deleted scnes, some of our fan editors edit in the deleted scenes for ANH to make it more of an "'American Graffiti in Space" as Lucas' friends once called it.

redbarron, I don't care for the 97' versions becuase they don't really add anything to the original films, IMHO. The Jabba in 97' looks horrible as well. Mainly, I like the 2004 versions becuase of the correct Palpatine in ESB, the new and improved Jabba, Hayden as Anakin in ROTJ, EXTREMELY good picture quality, etc. I just can't can't see how the 97' versions really improved upon the originals. That's the main differenc between me and many here. I have no OOT nastalgia that blinds me. I can see that the OT films are great, no matter what format, but do have the ability to be improved upon.

It is implied that it is my opinion. It cannot be proven that any SW film is better than, equal to, or less than, another SW film. But that sure doesn't stop statements I see abovce like "Star Wars - The original and the greatest, followed by The Empire Strikes Back ." How about those comments I hear around here like "The OOT is so much better than the SE's." Buy, they seem to push that as fact!

And I have that right. That's my honest opinion. ROTS is just as good as ESB, from the point of view of someone who grew up seeing them as one story. I saw them a lot different than most. As my introduction to Star Wars in 99', I watched TPM, then immediately afterwards, I watched ANH, ESB, and ROTJ. I gues you could say I was forced to accept them all, right from the beginning. What fascibnated me about Star Wars was Anakin's story, not Luke's. And my favorite character has always been Obi-Wan. Compared to him, Luke is quite weak and lacks depth.

Well, Cassidy, you were going on about cloning on a clone not working correctly in that galaxy. As the movies have proven, science doesn't always work in that galaxy the same way as it does in ours. Clones of a clone may turn out fine, and X-Wings may fly in the Star Wars galaxy, as it is fiction, and in a rictional world, anything is possible. Yes, we are talking about a movie. A fictional movie from a fictional galaxy/alterbate universe that doesn't always work like ours.

Have a good time Kev, cant afford the Pub tonight, so I have to put up with AdamwanKenobi ;


It was such a bad performance it wasnt a fitting end, and was not as good as Shaw's nice smile, which is now replaced by his creepy glare, thank god I have found ways to not see every fan-girls dream lover at the end of the Jedi

No, Mr. Bungle, I am not banned from TFN or the OS. I fit in very well there. (I sense more sarcasm.) And, as a matter of fact, I prefer the 2004 versions, and don't really care for the 97' versions. The 97' edition was crap, with a horrible Jabba, and incomplete effects. IMHO, Hayden did an excellent job as Anakin in ROTJ. I had always found Shaw to in fact be a little creepy and out of place. Here's the order in which I prefer the releases:

1. 2004 versions
2.originals
3.1997 versions

Because he simply unlocked my account. The catch was I was put under "double secret probation" with the message under my avatar changed to that for a while.

I ask you the same. You come here to talk and discuss the SW films. As do I. I can come here if I want to. I'm not going to question why you're here. I don't really care why. But, kev, fuck, you don't have to give a negative response every single time a make a post! The fact is, I REALLY don't like Shaw in the OT. Maybe as the dying Anakin, but not as the redeemed Ankin.
