Fact remains that if Lucas had intended things to be that way, he would've filmed it with a stand-in younger actor for Anakin at the time.

I totally agree but...I am only 17 and became a Star Wars fan when I was little. First movie=ROTJ taped off tv. First toys=flea market old figures. I collected all the figures from 1995 on but stopped around Episode I. I look at TPM and AOTC as entertaining movies at the time but subpar SW films now and I could give a damn. I may not have seen the originals when they were released in theaters but I saw them before the butcherng that was the SE. I have been a fan since I can remember and have liked almost no other franchise save Indy, Star Trek:TNG and Batman. I'm a purist in my own way that wants everyone happy.

Boba Fett is a clone of some random aussie-sounding guy that got his head cut off? Lame. There's no way in hell I'm listening to that assholes voice in ESB DVD Edition. Fucking stupid.

"Luke's" scream was just as bad as Greedo shooting first to me. It completely f'd up the scene and was just plain goofy. I never saw ESB:SE when it was released so when I saw it on video it was ridiculous. I mean, maybe if it was Mark Hammil's voice going "Never!!!" it would've been tolerable...What am I saying, leave them alone!!

Oh there's no question we'll be seeing more releases. Especially if a new format is released in the next couple of years (Blue-Ray or something?). When III is released on DVD, we'll have the Saga set...only $150.00 made out to Mr. Lucas. I was just thinking, how about releasing the original versions as alimited release exclusive to Fan Club members? Hmmm...

AOTC had hardly any darkness and WAS childish. The scene in that droid factory is like a gigantic video game level (which I actually read in several reviews), Yoda fighting, the horrible dialogue... But I don't feel like arguing about the prequels with you. It's obvious where your faith lies.

That's one side of the argument. In fact, I read that abysmal IGN review of the trilogy set and essentially the EXACT same thing you just said was there. Hmm...

Anyway, like I was saying. There are three sides in this battle:

The OT Purists:

"The originals are the real versions! SE sucks!"

The Lucas Fanboys:

"George Lucas is the artist of our time, man. These are his works of art and he can do what he wants with them..."

And of course, the Non-Alligned:

"Well, I liked the SE, some of the changes weren't that great. but I think the original versions should be released too..."

Where do you fall in?

Meh it's only 25 bucks. I'll get it just to watch my favorite scenes that haven't been tampered with (save by Lowery). Bit I really want the new game, Battlefront.

Great stuff...

I'm still deciding whether or not to buy the DVDs. It'll only coast me 25 bucks at Best Buy and since this is all we're going to get, I might have to succumb. That bastard.

Yeah yesterday was a rare day that they showed the Indy Trilogy. Original versions too, not repaired DVD versions. I think they'd benefit from using the DVD versions though as they could broadcast them in high-def.

Episode III will be the Revenge of the Shit. Will it be darker than Empire? Most likely not since Lucas is at the helm. Considering the kiddiness of I and II compared to the OT, I'll say it'll be PG. Lucas lies all the time. he's just trying to stir discussions like this up. ; )

It was just as obvious to me as if they were to change what he sounds like after Luke strikes his shoulder (now he truly sounded like a monster there). The "Arrrggh!!" was also used in that awesome Energizer Bunny commercial after his lightsaber loses power. But then again that commercial also had the original Emperor in it...good times.

The original Emperor was awesome. Creepy, mysterious...

The new version looks like a French guy named Maurice who sells balloons.

Anyone else think the newly added Anakin in ROTJ looks like a Backstreet Boy? Does this mean he, Obi-Wan and Yoda are American's newest boyband?

I always wondered why the Special Edition poster for Empire had ROTJ Palpatine on it...too bad the finally-added version looks nothing like he does in ROTJ.

I loved the original Emperor. It was one of my favorite scenes in my favorite movie. Go figure.

They kill of hordes of Stormtroopers who could just as well be guys underneath that were drafted to the Imperial military that didn't want to but were forced into it. The Death Star could've been stocked full of these kinds of guys and the Alliance blows it all away...

Han killed a bounty hunter that was pointing a gun at his face and making threats against him. He knew there was only one way out of the cantina: through Greedo. If he didn't act first, Greedo would've. That's how it use to be anyway.

Sci-Fi sucks in the U.S. They rarely show good movies. The good ones are hardly ever on. I don't like the shows. But it use to be much better. If this channel represents Sci-Fi today, I guess I'm not much if a Sci-Fi fan...

I seem to remember Sci-Fi use to play the original versions of the films a long time ago (perhaps even in Widescreen?). My question is whether or not they can play this in the future...

All I've seen SW broadcast on is TBS (SE) and Fox on occasion (i.e. before AOTC opened). I'd really like to see the original versions on Sci-Fi (Hell, I'd like to see anything SW on Sci-Fi).
