Still doesn't make sense at all.

This recent release makes perfect sense. Lucas has no love for the OOT. He's said so and everything he's done from 1997 up to now fits into that, even this release. I would have been amazed had this been a full restoration, but we got a shoddy release. Nevertheless, it falls prefectly in with Lucas' dislike for the OOT. Why should he do a turn around and release it next year? It doesn't fit in with what he's said and what he's done. Everything he's said and done falls into that dislike for the OOT, so he is being consistent.

I think it's more likely that Lucas released this edition to 1) get us to shut the hell up and leave him alone about it and 2)curb the bootleg market. That's it!!! There's no reason for him to give the OOT a second thought now that it's out there. Now he can put out his newer SEs which all fit his original vision in one big set and that's it.

Everything up to now makes PERFECT sense. Lucas releasing it again remastered next year doesn't make sense at all.

Those within the company that don't support this are the ones who were behind the restoration artist for the upcoming OOT release.

Not following you there.....please elaborate?

Problem is....I'm not going to buy it again on Blu Ray or HD DVD.....those will be backward compatible with DVD, so I'm not buying it again, no matter what's included on it....and I don't give two shits about HD.

Raul.....what does your source say about Lucas' actions?

Is it generally known among the LFL employees that Lucas is like this?

Precisely what I was thinking too.....but it's just so BLATANT. If it's for real and he does put out the OOT totally remastered and all, I'll buy it, but I'm NEVER going to buy another SW product again.

I can understand the need to make a buck and even milk something dry, but this is just plain craziness...

Lucas will make a lot of money.....but he's going to lose a lot of respect and a lot of older fans in the process.

Come on!!! What about the statement on the official site saying that this will be the "first and only time" these versions will be available....

Yeah....obvious bullshit, I know....but why all the games here? Doesn't make sense....

Lucas agreed to the substandard release to fund the restore effort. He declined any money going into the current release.

This is flat out bullshit!!! Lucas has said before that it would take a few million a piece to restore these films. I highly doubt this release is going to be able to fund this. A LOT of copies of this have to be sold to come up with that much money.....

The print is being cleaned and primed by someone who has a love for the original trilogy perhaps even more than Lucas himself! The SE's are being "altered" again to fit with the prequels. Yoda is now CG in PM. The biggest change to the Special Editions that I am aware of right now is that HAN SHOOTS FIRST. Lucas is caving on that since that seems to be everyones major gripe with the SE's. The OOT will feature a new commentary track from the restoration artist working on the print. Giving in depth detail about the process and what it took to convince GL to allow the restoration to take place.

This is too good to be true....and probably is.

Bullshit.

Honestly, I think Lucas's track record of lies speaks for itself. If you don't believe me it doesn't matter. I know that next year the reason for originaltrilogy.com will be gone. Those prototypes were expensive and they are good enough for the 30th Anniversary. Right now the only queston is if we are getting one big set or two sets. Lucasfilm is currently leaning toward two sets in an attempt satisfy the fan base.

Are you supershadow

Wouldn't surprise me....

GUESS is the key word there, everyone. Keep that in mind....

Bogus.

You know what when the 30th Anniversary set comes out it will be interesting to see what it will look like.

Dude....quit jacking with us. Share it all or shut the fuck up. What's your source on this? This could be some fan made wankfest, so you better cough up with something good. We've seen far too much of this bullshit on the net already...

You know....I LOVE the OT, no matter what anyone says.

And I HATE the PT, no matter what anyone says.

That's really all that needs to be said....what I like, others may not like and what they like, I may not like. It's all up to the individual. Arguing this is over and over again is getting retarded.

You know...I agree.....it was so huge back then and everyone liked it that who would want to give it a bad rap.

I would like to see some actual press saying it's bad from back then.

All this crap about bad acting and such is hooey anyway. I don't think there's any bad acting at all. The whiny Luke stuff is crap anyway...cuz look at how Luke turned out in ROTJ. He was badASS, man!!! Maybe he was SUPPOSED to be whiny and all.

I just don't see bad acting at all in the OT. Nothing cringeworthy like in the PTs.

It's just a lot better than the PT.

I don't include the SEs......they don't exist to me anymore.
