Even if only half the people who want Star Wars on DVD buy it, it's still enough to break records, Jimbo.

We have no way of knowing how many people didn't buy it because of that. All we know is how many did buy it. So you really can't tell.

I'd be a hypocrite if I considerred the MagnoliaFan edits to be my "true" versions of episodes I and II. But I'd sure be interested in seeing them.

Heck, a DVD quality of a 'Phantom Edit' type deal where they are edited by someone wish similar opininons like me just might be my new official version.

My download of The Phantom Edit was taken from VHS, so it looks like crap. So i'm excited about this whenever the torrent is up.

That is a poll about the Star Wars DVDs to the general public. This was not on a Star Wars site or anything.

I was surprised to see so many people not going to buy it (general public) because of the changes.

But this is good news I suppose.

If they had called it 'The Clone Wars' it would make Luke's line "You fought in the Clone Wars?" in Ep4 sound weird.

Like he was referencing the movie.

Hmm...

it certainly seems this isn't a half assed job like the 97 SE was.

When the set starts to look appealing, I always remember that all the crappy SE changes are still there. And the desire is instantly gone.

Sure Jabba looks better, but I push for not having the scene at all.
Sure Naboo looks good in the celebration, but I push for no galactic celebration at all.
Sure Greedo shooting first looks better, but I push for Greedo not shooting at all.

Hayden as a ghost sucks.
The new Emporer sucks.
The new Boba Fett voice sucks. (WTF?!!?! NOOO!!!)
You'd have to be crazy to want to change the lightsaber effects in ESB. WTF did they possibly find wrong with them??

All in all, I am neutral about this. By default I revert back to only having the O-OT on laserdisc transferred to DVD. And I'm happy.

God bless Rikter.

*sighs heavily at the Hayden ghost thing*

I can't say I have a strong opinion, seeing as I've completely given up with an official OT related ANYTHING anymore.

I have my Rikter TR47 set (albiet with minor errors) and I've satisfied.

The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi

Well, screw that.

I'm a little worried about the ommitting of the Leia's Mother line in ROTJ. If that won't prove that his vision is changing, I don't know what will.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a long time Star Wars fan. That is why I don't want the DVDs. The Special Editions are not Star Wars that came out in the seventies and eighties. And it isn't completing a vision. He changed his vision. While there's nothing wrong with that, trying to erase what has been out for twenty fives years and replacing it with something new, in my opinion, is. Would it kill you to release both? Everybody wins!

Does anyone know if from now one you must have a subscription to BOTH Insider and Hyperspace, as in not one without the other?

If so, I'll get really mad and cancel my Insider subscription as much as I'd hate to do it. I don't want to be a Hyperspace member.

Yes I put another comment in too.

I think the moron you refer to is "te113" or something like that.

Well I'm gonna be gone for a week so keep up the good work for me over there at the OS.

(And if the Mods start getting mad at you, post in the SE vs. OT thread where they can't do anything since that's what it's for:

The TR47 discs courtesy of Rikter that I have are a vast improvement over my laserdiscs.

Not becuase of the laserdiscs themselves, but because of the old worn out crappy player I have.
