So, I figured out a way to make my official 2004 and 2006 SW DVDs look way cooler; I took the inside leaflets and simply placed them over the horrible photoshop mess of the original covers:
Ah, mine don't have those! At least not the last time I checked. Oh wait, yes they do - thought they were on the back of the official ones.
They weren't terrible. Just implausible at best and sometimes out of place.
I'll say it: it does seem rather sexist. Especially with the chain around her neck. But she does still kick everybody's butts in it!
(That didn't sound right.)

Did Lucas intend the Jedi to be so stupid in the prequels or is Lucas himself actually as stupid as they are?
Well, he is an ageist jackass who thinks "old" methods of filmmaking (silent, B&W, 2D) are inferior to "modern" ones (sound, colour, 3D), so I doubt he's the sharpest crayon in the box.
I think he was born with a large portion of his brain missing. I think he was too stupid to even come up with the original star wars film (remember, he just wanted to rip off Flash Gordon).
Actually, I - this might sound idiotic of me, but I'd put it down to senility. The fame went to the poor man's head and he tried to dumb down what made it so popular. Either that or he tried too hard to appeal to children....

This. The idea did cross my mind at one point.
How much is this going for again???
Star Wars Trilogy Arcade, I'd have to say. Rogue Squadron II and Trench Run come a close second though.
Famicom Star Wars also deserves honourable mention, if for its campiness.
Because of that execrable song at the beginning and Hayden's ghost and the NOOOO! That's why it's so bad! I can forgive the blinking Ewoks, but everything else is too far!
Let's see, I did consider these....
I thought... "this isn't the way I remember it".
Frankly, of all the alterations, ROTJ has come out the worst, by far! I mean, when the "Jedi Rock" bit came on I was like "MAKE IT STOP!!!!!! MY FACE HURTS!!!!!!!" And all the rest of those new things!
First of all, kudos on this fantastic work; I gave it an A in one of my reviews!
But maybe there's one little thing I want to point out... that digital "humdinger" glitch has gone unchecked - I'll show a picture, see what I'm talking about:
I assume it'll be fixed for the HD version...?
As I see it, this restoration represents a simpler time, back when I'd sit down at my grandparents' house with a pack o' Butterkist and watch the original movie on my VHS tape... although that was the 1981 version, it's probably a little different... but still, it's as enchanting as I remember it! This is the version we've all been waiting for, I think!
Actually, I kind of doubt Disney will re-release the GOUT. As I see it, they can be pretty stubborn. Besides, they probably think we're doing alright for ourselves anyway.
What, Garrett got banned for selling his work!? That's not the Garrett I know. I mean I know he got on Margaret French's bad side, but... this?!

Yoda communing with Qui Gon could be "restored" with nonsensical Liam Nesson dialog?
Suddenly I'm thinking of "They came from Mars, not from God" from The War of the Worlds: The New Generation.
Looking at this, I'm thinking - Darth Vader shouting "No... not into the pit! It BURNS!!!" as he picks Palpatine up and hurls him into the Death Star's reactor shaft..... the two no's sound similar.....
Yeah. I've got a weak sense of humour. ._.
Any chance of me getting a mirror link to that poster montage used for the Definitive Collections? It appears the one at scifi.pages.at is out of commission.
Very good; thanks for the information.
Excellent! :) I suppose it's not region-locked then or anything.
Never mind; got the NTSC ISO. Will it work if I burn it to a DVD and play it in my DVD player?
I know, but I really have no idea how this newsgroup stuff works... hm... is anyone willing to send me a physical DVD copy?

Where can I get my hands on the PAL version of this fan-edit?
It's on Usenet (alt.binaries.starwars). Enjoy!
Oh no, do I have to get it from a newsgroup???
Hi there!
Where can I get my hands on the PAL version of this fan-edit? I've been having trouble finding it; all the torrent sites are blocked (at least for me). Also is there a PAL version of the Purist edition too?
