Hopefully (And if we no Lucas like we think, that means it's unlikely) the DVDs will be recalled and FIXED!

Geez. I defend the changes until release date and then EVERYTHING else messes up on them.

But then, I havent watched the DVDs through yet, because of school and homework. So I can't say for sure if mine have these problems.

I have also always thought that midichlorians were a good explaination of why droids can't use the Force. In fact, I am surprised that it hasn't come up in an explanation of why the Yuzzhan Vong arent in the Force.

And it is obvious that there is more than one view of the Force. Some Jedi, like Vergere, don't even believe in the Dark Side.

But inferiority doesn't mean that it sucks.

The Wind Waker is inferior to Ocarina of Time, but TWW doesn't suck.

Funny stuff.

I saw that. It is funny when cynics eat their words.

Yeah. And now there are some new ones. Luke's lightsaber is now teal in the Falcon, when he trains with the remote. I can't stand the lazyiness of ILM. I'm about to recommend a boycott my self! Not because of the changes but because of idiotic mistakes like that.

I ask again, did someone not proof these DVDs before launch?

If you're considering buying it, know that it isn't the travesty that Justin and Willy made it out to be, but I could've been done better. Some of the cleanup is way overdone, like I said before, and Jabba's lighting is still off.

But the quality is excellent.

I've been in school and therefore unable to sit down and watch the movies, but I have scanned through ANH and Jedi for the changes. For some reason my enter key isn't working, so forgive the lack of paragraphs. First thing I noticed was that everything is really freaking shiny. from Vader's helmet to 3pO, the lighting enhancement is way overdone. The Greedo scene looks marginaly better, but now Han shoots over the table rather than under it. The angles on many of the Blaster shots are still off, and this one stands out as particularly bad. Now for Jabba... Well.. I Don't like him. The lighting is severly off, and the texturing makes him look almost furry rather than leathery. Motion and interaction-wise, he's an improvement over the 97 version, but it still isn't quite right. And yeah, Luke's saber in the Falcon is mint green. Also, in Vader and Obiwan's duel, there is a very annoying yellow flash every time their blades collide. Uhg... As for Jedi, (I havent exammined Empire yet), The removal of the Eyebrows and Inclusion of Naboo are fairly seamless and quite welcom for continuity purposes, IMO. But the additon of HC as Anikan is a different story. I understand the change, and wasn't hating the concept of the change. But the executions is not what I expected. In the original version and SE, Yoda and Ben look to their right and the camera pans left to show Anakin's ghost fade-in overa period of a few seconds. In the new version, Hayden fades in very quickly, and then Yoda and Ben look over after the fact. Again, I don't hate it... It will just take some getting used to.

I don't see what Bush has to do with Enron and Haliburton.

They execs there and at Haliburton maid there desicions and I serioulsly doubt that any president would encourage their behaviour.

Except maybe Clinton, except for that he is a bleeding-heart liberal and there fore opposed to large businesses.

After convincing my father to purchase the DVDs last night, I sat down and watched some of the "Bonus Material" disc while doing my homework.

Watching the trailers I noticed two things: Trailers back then were really cheezey, and...

In the trailers for Revenge of the Jedi and Return of the Jedi, Luke's blade on Jabba's sail barge is blue.
Why is that? was it that way in the TE of the movie, or was it just early shots that were changed before the release?

It would be easier for one to edit that shot out in the 97 version, since they fire at the same time in the DVDs.

Luceno did write TUF. But I wish Zahn did. It would be fitting for the man who started the EU to finish it's most extreme story yet.

But Shane Dix and Sean Williams are hardly dolts. The sucessfully wrote a Trilogy without chapters, and that is only one of many Trilogies they've written together.

Force Heritic two is my favorite book since Traitor.

Dude, the before and after captions are labled wrong. The before is on the 2004 version of Jabba, and the after is on the 1997 version of Jabba.

Though I convinced my father to purchase the set yesterday, I haven't been able to watch the movies yet. I did see a bunch of the extras, though. Good stuff.

Maybe, but I doubt they would vote for someone with values like Bush either. Corrupt people would, I think, tend to vote for corrupt people so their own corruptness (is that a word?) is overlooked--maybe even encouraged.

I agree. Lucas isn't capable of doing it all, and has too many stupid impulses to have such absolute control over his projects.

But not Tarinteno--The last time I saw one of his movies I actually left the theater and went to play Time Crisis in the arcade.

I just finished force heritic Three. Good book, but I have to say I liked FH II better.

And I think in someways you-know-who changed too much when she solved her problems. SHOES!?!?!

And also, a certain annoying son of Han Solo seams to have reverted to his pacifist ways. Which sucks.

It seems like the new ESB hologram is too old. He looks younger in RotJ.

And that is really bad that they got the lightsaber color wrong... DID SOMEONE NOT PROOF-WATCH THESE DVDs before sending them out onto the market?

If they did, I doubt a bunch of hicks who drive a car called General Lee with a Rebel Flag painted on the hood. (BTW, you could find some humor if you aply an alternate definition of "hood" to that phrase) would vote for one as liberal as Kerry.

Just my opinion. I've never really been a Duke's of Hazzard fan. Before my time.

I wouldn't be so sure about that Jimbo. I think This movies Darkness Quotient comesdown to doing Greivous and the death's of the Jedi's right. Mace Windu's death would kind of lose its edge if it is immediately followed by Jar Jar saying "How wude!" I know that was an extreme example, but think about it. Remember all of Threepio's bad puns during the Geonosis battle? And Kit Fisto's dumb smile? If Lucas can avoid his stupid impluses long enough to make a dark film, then RotS should rock.

And also, we don't know that Padme dies. It would be unlikely because she has to live long enough for Leia to have memories of her.

It isn't really the plot of the prequels that needs tweaking.

It is more just bad diaglogue and wooden acting. Which is why Palpatine/Sidious scenes rock. George Lucas ought to be less of a control freak and let someone else write the screenplay and direct. But it's too late for that now, considering that ROTS has allready finished shooting.
