I've been patient. But this keeps coming up. Someone bashes the Prequel Trilogy and everone accepts the opinion as fact. So it's dull and souless now. Yay. Half the reason people think the prequels suck so much is that people who's ridiculous expectations weren't met continue to say things like this about it until it is just accepted as fact. Annoying. Ok. My rant is over.


Did anyone notice that one of the pictures on the fake "Episode Seven" page had Earth in it. I wonder if that was intentional.

Boycott Special Edition DVD's - I know you can do it

Hi again,

I don't think you have done the math I just did. If I remember right, the DVD set is going to sell for around seventy dollars US. If just the people who signed this petition decided not to buy them, that is a loss in gross sales of over $4,200,000. I know that is probably what George Lucas spend on mineral water for the year, but that is a significant amount of money, and businesses like to make money. If only the people that signed this petition wrote a letter to George Lucas and an e-mail to fox video, maybe they do the math too.

Defeatist thinking leads to just that, defeat. Even if a boycott and letter writing campaign were unsuccessful, those of us who really do want to see the orignals on DVD are are only thirty-seven cents worse off than we were. But at least we will feel like we did something about it other than finding reasons not to do anything about it. What have you got to loose?


I'm not being defeatist, I just being realistic. The truth is that there aren't enough people who care about which version it is to make that much of a difference. Besides, I think Lucas is ashamed of the OV.

But more importantly, it isn't that big of a deal. I mean is it really worth getting illiegal copies of the movie just to see Han shoot first? The Special Edition is not the end of the world. Somepeople are over-reacting and a boycott wouldn't help anything.

It would've also been nice if perhaps a little dialogue revealed some sort of back story as to why Fett was somewhat "obsessed" with Solo. (After all - they had to have some past history together as only Solo and Chewbacca called him "Boba Fett," but everyone else knew him as "bounty hunter."


Boba Fett (bounty hunter) + Han Solo (smuggler with large bounty on his head) = 'why Fett was somewhat "obsessed" with Solo'

Han refers early in tESB about 'that run in with the bounty hunter on Ord Mantell' only contribution in Empire was following the Falcon to Bespin and leading the Empirials to Cloud city, Vader and his troops did the rest , then Boba Fett acted as a courier service delivering Han to Jabba, even Greedo could have done that!

- in ROTJ he didn't fare much better in the skiff battle, (fair enough he did shoot those cool ropes at Luke) but it didn't really slow Luke down by much, and then a 'BLIND' Han Solo accidently hit Boba's backpack while his back was turned, causing it to misfire and launch him into the Sarlaac Pit' and I don't care what EU says BOBA NEVER ESCAPED FROM THE PIT.

-granted Jango did manage to hold his own during his battle with Obi-wan Kenobi on Kamino, but it didn't take much effort for Mace Windu to lop his head off, and to top it all off he couldn't even assasinate Padme, he had to hire another bounty hunter to do it for him.
The only thing that the fetts proved in the movies was how clumsy they were.


The Bounty Hunter on Ord Mantell was IG-88, the droid bounty hunter.

Boba Fett appearantly survived the Sarlaac with help from Bossk. I don't know the details, I've not read that book. I have heared that Fett is in the NJO books towards the end.

Yeah. I've always wondered why the Fett's were such a big deal. Although Mace Windu was much stronger than Kenobi. (In an episode of the Clone Wars, he defeats an entire droid army without his lightsaber.)

All movies and other items that are sold have what manufacturer's refer to as the SRP or MSRP. This is what the manufacturer sees as being the ideal price. Almost never holds up once it's on the shelves. Usually just a bit lower. The SRP on the Simpsons sets are about US$45-50 and they have a pretty common shelf price of US$35-40.


Good. I was getting worried there for a minute.

First of all, a boycot is serious overreaction. The special editions weren't that bad. In fact I wouln't give a flip about Star Wars if it wasn't for the SE. And they are fixing the stupid changes, appearantly, although it's reported that Greedo still shoots first. Which really was a stupid change.

Second, a boycot will mean nothing. We have sixty thousand signatures on this site. I doubt half of them would even do the boycot. I don't think thirty thousand people not buying the discs will mean anything when millions of people will buy them world wide. If I have the money I intend to buy them. Yeah. That has allready been said hasn't it.

Star Wars Trilogy 2004 Release

if you read the first paragraph in that article tell me what you see?

Quote
Fox Home Entertainment have revealed some new details on the Region 1 DVD release of the Star Wars Trilogy due to arrive in separate widescreen and full screen editions on 21st September 2004 with a retail price of $69.98 each. The four-disc sets will present the original trilogy with digitally remastered THX Certified transfers and new English Dolby Digital 5.1 EX Surround mixes alongside the original English, Spanish and French Dolby Surround tracks.


well i think its about time you guys got rid of the name DVDTimes and called yourself worst feeliing dvd site in the world because guess what dipshots?
its not the "original trilogy"!!!!!

!!!!
what the shell is wrong with these people?
do they have their heads so far up their butts that they don't notice the difference...

im not even gonna continue with what i was gonna say cuz this is the like 100th time ive seen a site reporting this release as the OT...

tell someone start a thread where we can just post links to other sites calling it the OT...
i guarentee we would have over 10 pages in less than a week



Remeber, by "Original Trilogy", they mean "A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi" as oposed to the "Prequel Trilogy" TMP ATOC and ROTS.

It has nothing to do with the version. It just means that they aren't the prequels. I assume your probably intellignet enought to figure that out on your own, but just feel like complaining about the changes anyway.

Here's a game that might be under the radar for a lot of people. I havent played it myself, but I intend to.


Astro Boy


Also Metroid Prime 2Echoes This year Metroid and GTA will likely battle for Game of the Year again, but this time Halo is thrown into the mix.


Shiny Samus!

Along with the potential sleeper Paper Mario 2 . All of the three previous Mario RPGs have been excellent

Paper Mario 2


And that doesn't even take into account PC, N-gage, or cell games, allthough the latter two are unlikely to ever get a GOTY.
