"Yipee!"

Funny, but that reminds me, that's how the Death Star should explode. I actually being serious here, I the Death Star would explode, it would cause a Praxis effect from its trench. Sorry, a little off topic rant.

Just like Lucas couldn't/wouldn't secure rights to Flash Gordon, we need an exciting new franchise to get behind (and it won't be from Cameron either). I'm optimistic that can happen, but I think it will be "underground" global phenomena rather than overground corporate shilled-to-death. The Matrix came close IMO, but no cigar.

I don't think I agree with you about Cameron.

Think of it this way: Sci-fi epic is released, becomes a must see event by pushing visual effects to the next level, and it ends up being the highest grossing film of all time. Critical reception is mostly positive, it is nominated for many Oscars including Best Picture which it loses, but many people don't believe in the hype. Granted, the film builds much of its content from pre-existing properties.

Now stop. What film have I described? Star Wars. I know many dislike Avatar, but Star Wars wasn't a sacred cow when it was released either. Now I'm sure most of you discovered Star Wars when you were kids right? Well I doubt you could find a kid that has seen Avatar and didn't like it. Also, Avatar 2 and 3 haven't even come out yet. So we should wait before we pass too much judgement. 

As a side note, I think everyone should be looking forward to Avatar 2. If you've seen Aliens, Terminator 2, or, hell the Empire Strikes Back, you should know what kind of movie we'll get.

I'm actually glad I read that blog post. I don't think its funny at all. Seriously, think about it: Lucas must have some reason for adding the NOOO!, believe it or not his goal isn't to rape people's childhoods, its creating his own vision of these movies. Now don't get me wrong, I don't like the change at all or the idea of revisions, but I don't approve of laughing at that post. Lucas had a reason for changing that scene and in all honesty I believe that that post, in trying to figure out why Lucas made the change, probably came up with the actual reason Lucas changed that scene. Hell, that post wasn't even defending him. So really, let's calm down here.

For ANH, go for Ady's Purist edition. As for the others, I don't know.

I would say I'm for your new rendition of the DS on the grounds that it looks AWESOME.

Have you thought about adding in a scene where Vader flies to Coruscant and sees Palpatine at the end, right before the ceremony, maybe using footage from the end of EPII when Dooku flies back (but obviously changing up the shots a bit)?

I just feel that if we're suggesting changes, something that I feel is somewhat missed in the OT is more of the Emperor and Coruscant. 

Just thinking this: what if the lightsaber duel in ROTJ had been on Coruscant? 

It seems to be down. Actually its seems all of Hal 9000's prequels are down, but this is the one I want to watch the most. I personally loved ROTS when it was released, there were only a few little things that nudged me in the wrong direction. It seems like Hal 9000 has changed the movie to exactly what I would have wanted it to be. I would greatly appreciate if it were put up again (and maybe the other two for reviewing/curiosity's sake).

Looking at the other posts here it seems like the problem came up before. I don't know if it had been fixed or if it hadn't, but either way there down now. Thanks.
