I do. There are the sane ones that are asking what the deal is...then there's the fanboys saying that said people are just out to find problems with DVDs...

That's why I never post there. Today, on the main page was a selection from the board, a topic about the new DVDs where someone said something to the effect of "When I watched ROTJ, my neighborhood must have heard me shout NABOO!" What a loser. Fuckin assholes.

The "Alert My Star Destroyer..." line sounds nothing like Vader (it wasn't James Earl Jones...). You'e forgetting the DVD changes, but they're minimal compared to the SE so thats ok. Anyway, the worst change IMO was changing Vader's "ARGGGHH!!!" when he's knocked off the edge of the Carbon Freezing Chamber to "EHHH!!!". It just sounds stupid, especially since Vader makes the same sound like 15 seconds before. You can still hear the "ARGGGHH!!!" when Vader gets pissed right before he cuts of Luke's hand, but it sounded better when he fell. Now it sounds like some old man yelling "DAMN!!!"

So what are they trying to say? When your Jedi spirit appears, it only looks like it does BEFORE you become a backstabbing bastard? I am not a hardcore fanboy of all this, just a more than interested viewer, but does this just seem like a shameless plug for Episode III: Kill all the motherf#@in' Jedi...twice?


Yes, but that's also what the whole SW Trilogy DVD Bonus Disc is...

Now thats fucking crazy. Come one what about the new Mos Isley, expanded cloud city, new wampa, new sarlacc, matt line deletion, improved Yavin shots, improved lightsabers, new Biggs scene, and the deletion of that horrendous ewok song. Plenty of really awsome changes that make the movie better. For every bad change there are 50 good ones.


It's Eisley, Mos Eisley. The "new" Sarlacc is just a penis sticking out of the pit. It not only looks dumb, but the sounds it makes are pretty lame. The Ewok song was not horrendous. I would rather listen to Elmo sing at the end of Return Of The Jedi than hear that lame Yanni-sounding shit. The whole end is stupid (WEESA FREE!!!) now, it's completely out of place. Cloud City, the Wampa, Yavin and Mos Eisley didn't need to be enhanced or expanded. I'm sorry you apparently disliked the original versions so much that you feel these changes were absolutely needed - I didn't. Now you can keep preaching the word of Lucas and bitching that a penis looks better than just a pit with teeth and tentacles and that sort of shit...or you can just accept that I don't really like the Special Editions. I didn't need it, many of the people on this board sure as hell didn't need it. I guess that's the difference between us. Now that you've seen the SE, you'd never go back to the Originals would you?

Oh, and the new Mos Eisley ruined one of the better scenes in ANH where the Stormtroopers stop the landspeeder. Now, a Ronto blocks our view (Lucas originally never intended to have us see the troops approach I guess), that floating droid thing annoys the hell out of me by making noises during one of the better lines ("We don't need to see his I.D."), and it all ends with another Ronto...it just feels so fake.

The thing I can't stand about Lucas is how dull and boring he is. He's devoted a lot of time to these films and every interview he's just a complete bore...he says the same mindless crap, laughs like he's actually funny and generally acts like an ass. And then there's the hideous audio commentary he does...

"This, uhhhh....scene...uhh..sort of....I was going for sort of a more, uhhhh...different sort of approach, uhhhh..."

And then he'll pronounce the character names wrong.

Whatever. I had no problem believing the Ewoks could take out the ground troops. They'd proven time and time again they sucked at everything. Look at all the shit they did: the logs were ingenious. And you clown have you forgotten how the rebels took out the walkers on Hoth?? They used friggin tow cables and tripped them. The Ewoks did more with logs then just trip the AT-STs. They sent them flying at the cabins, remember? Friggin ingenious. And tangling up the Speeder Bikes with rope... it showed that primitive creatures (by your definition) could take out the "advanced" forces. I always loved that lesson...

The Gungans on the other hand showed that creatures could have advanced technology and still suck.

Jabba could've shifted over beforehand so he could walk around...somehow. I don't know, I just think the whole scene should've stayed on the cutting room floor. The Anakin ghost change sucks major ass. It not only looks stupid (he looks like a complete jackass), it is just retarded. But regarding Luke recognizing him...he is a Jedi and they do have those force abilities. I'm sure he could sense his father's presence. On the same topic, removing Anakin's eyebrows was stupid. I mean come one. Even if Anakin gets his face burned in ROTS, technology keeps him alive, why couldn't it regrow his eyebrows??

Leave the goddamn Ewoks alone. They're better than anything that has come out of your precious prequels. Said prequels have ruined the end of Return Of The Jedi. I came to accept the Yanni-sounding shit-ass music that replaced the Yub Yub music...now I have to look at fucking Gungans cheering and Anakin looking like a complete jackass next to REAL Jedi. Goddamn you.

What's terrible in Empire is simply the new Emperor, Boba Fett's new voice and what was done in the SE, if you didn't like those. But would it have killed em to get James Earl Jones to record that line that was added in the SE?? Empire's my favorite movie, it always will be. I have to sit through some pretty retarded additions and changes, but in the end I still love it.
