Thanks skyjedi2005,

This does answer all of the questions:

http://secrethistoryofstarwars.com/natureofthebeast1.html

      Marcia also kept Lucas in check by reminding him of the fundamental emotional resonance needed for a screenplay, in contrast to Lucas' more technical interest: "I was the more emotional person who came from the heart, and George was the more intellectual and visual, and I thought that provided a nice balance," Marcia says.      

      Mark Hamill remembers, "She was really the warmth and the heart of those films, a good person he could talk to, bounce ideas off of, who would tell him when he was wrong.” After a three year process of finally filtering and refining his ideas, Lucas had a script that was imaginative and human.

___

This was an eye-opener article and things seem clearer.

Lucas' was into more technical and visual side seems to me to fit the prequels which are all eye-candy and souless.

It also seems to me the Special Edition had edited out all of Marcia's warmth and the heart of the films. The Marcia Lucas edit of the oot seems to me to have a more epic and grander look and feel than George Lucas' re-edit in the Special Edition.

also Marcia could tell George Lucas that he was wrong which is something no one around him does or dares to do, these-days.

The George Lucas of today:

Do Star Wars fans have appreciation for the wrong Lucas?

    As a OOT fan, sometimes I think about the Special edition or the prequels and wonder What the hell happen to George Lucas?...  Did he go crazy sometime after 1983? Now, after think about for 11 years I think I have an answer...
"George Lucas has always been like this".
 George Lucas has always sucked...but, why are the OOT and the first Indy good?
The only answer I can find is Marcia Lucas (George Lucas' Ex-wife).

Marcia and George were married from 1969 to 1983 which are the best years of Lucas' film-work. Marcia was the editor of the OOT and even won Academy Award for Film Editing for Star Wars in 1977. After their brake-up, George's film work gets bad. I have to question if Marcia have a bigger hand in the OOT then just editing them. Did George talk to his wife Marcia about the OOT and did she give input? Did Marcia tell George what was bad in his ideas when he was working on the OOT?
       
George Lucas film-work after Marcia:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) (the first time George Lucas decided to make a prequel.) (even Spielberg said in 1989: "Temple of Doom is my least favorite of the trilogy")

The Ewok Adventure (1984)

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985)

Captain EO (1986)

Willow (1988) (story)

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) (which I like, but some do not like)

Radioland Murders (1994)

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Actually, the 2006 set specifies very clearly on the back of the DVD case that the theatrical versions on the bonus discs are letterboxed.

The 2006 so-called OT DVD Boxes state that their are the theatrical versions in letterbox format...

 But, In reality the 2006 so-called OT DVDs are not in letterbox format, their are in Windowbox format.

also the  2006 so-called OT DVDs  are made from the 1993 Definitive Collection Laserdiscs version and the 1993 Definitive Collection Laserdiscs version are NOT the theatrical versions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_changes_in_Star_Wars_re-releases#Pre-Special_Edition

2004 Star Wars SE disks:
    "Anamorphic" Widescreen (aspect Ratio: 2.35:1)

2006 Star Wars SE disks:
    Widescreen format "enhanced" for 16:9 TVs (aspect Ratio: 2.35:1)

Why did Mr. Lucas have the wording changed in 2006? Actions like this only show that Mr. Lucas was knowingly conning people.

Talk about having police raiding Lucas' house is absurd. That is going way too far, and it would never happen.

Search warrant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_warrant

A search warrant is a court order issued by a judge or magistrate that authorizes law enforcement to conduct a search of a person or location for "evidence" of a criminal offense and seize such items. Under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, most searches by the police require a search warrant based on "probable cause", although there are exceptions.

Searching Mr. Lucas' house for "evidence" in a court case about Mr. Lucas Confidence tricking people is "probable cause"

The search warrant is to find "evidence" which key to proofing the Charges.

You might be able to make a weak argument for false advertisment, but nobody will take this seriously.

Charging Mr. Lucas for pulling a Gold brick scam is not a Charge of false advertisment nor will a judge see it has a Charge of false advertisment.

Charging Mr. Lucas for knowingly conning people is a serious Charge and would be seen as serious.

also consumer activist groups and consumer advocate groups would seen it as serious.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_confidence_tricks#Gold_brick_scams

Gold brick scams involve selling a tangible item for more than it is worth; named after selling the victim a supposed gold bar that turns out to be gold-coated lead.

Hell, nobody will take US seriously when we have people on our side talking such blantant nonsense as this, and going under threatening names as "kill Lucas".

That name only shows the rage people feel from Mr. Lucas' scam.

_______________________________________________________________

The Court System is for up holding the Truth and that was this case is about. 

It not about getting money or even an "I sorry" from Mr. Lucas.

It is about the Truth and We feel that Mr. Lucas is not telling the Truth.

In Charging Mr. Lucas for knowingly conning people, We hope to learn the Truth which like I said the Court System is for.

In fact, We should not sue George Lucas, or Charge George Lucas for knowingly conning people.

The Thing is, We just need a good Private investigator to look into it because I said It is about the Truth.

I would not want to see George Lucas go to jail even those he could for knowingly conning people.

All I want is a box set of The real theatrical versions of the Star Wars films in "Anamorphic" Widescreen with a high-definition digital cleanup and a restoration job.

All the past Cons which Lucas pulled on us would be Forgiven if He only did this little act.

I am sick of the lies and tricks from Lucas , if a box set of The real theatrical versions of the Star Wars films in "Anamorphic" Widescreen with a high-definition digital cleanup and a restoration job came out on DVD, I would walk-away from posting on this site and never post about or think about George Lucas again.

It's not so much Lucas lied as he told us a half truth. Lynne Hale's email said "existing prints are in bad condition," which could mean anything Lucasfilm chooses it to mean.

From: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/mytwocentsa120.html#aswrant

"It's been reported previously that when Lucas went back to the original negatives of the Star Wars films in the mid 1990s, they were found to be in bad shape. Such bad shape, in fact, that had they not been restored immediately, the films could have been lost forever. So restoration is exactly what Lucas had done. Except that when he was creating the new 1997 Special Edition versions of the films... he cut the original negatives. So the original negatives of the theatrical versions no longer exist."

Also From: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/mytwocentsa120.html#aswrant
"If good quality original elements don't exist, where did Lucasfilm get that footage of the 1977 opening crawl that was used in Empire of Dreams? And how could it have been presented in anamorphic widescreen on DVD unless a new anamorphic transfer of the footage was done or was already available? So why then can't anamorphic transfers of the films be done now for the new DVDs? It makes no sense whatsoever."

Also Lucas once said he recorded over the original star wars negatives. So which is it ? Did Lucas recorded over the original star wars negatives? OR Did he cut the original star wars negatives? OR is just Lucas Lying? 

First Lucas said he recorded over the original star wars negatives which is NOT possible!

Then Lucas changed he story to that he cut the original star wars negatives which is dumbfounding and a big taboo in restoring films!  If Lucas was dumb and cut the negatives then He should be kicked out the film-making world, FOREVER!

The thing is Lucas did NOT cut or recorded over the original star wars negatives. He more likely has them and is lying.

the original star wars negatives were more likely restoration back in 1997 and back-up on computer. the original star wars masters are more likely in Lucas' own vault.  These original star wars masters were more likely used for Empire of Dreams and other things

This is why I would love for police to search Skywalker Ranch. If the original star wars masters were found by police, it would show that the 2006 DVDs were a con-job.   

I think the big question is if we have a case of lucas knowingly conning people.
Well, let's look at the Star Wars DVD releases.
____
2004 DVD Box Set of the Star Wars trilogy:
Here we have a four disk set (three movies and one bonus disk).

The green are too green and the reds are too red. Black levels are too dark. Very odd coloring of the movies in this set. Now, you may think what hell does this has to do with lucas knowingly conning people. Well, the thing is that it is a lead brick. This Very odd coloring is normal seen in poor cheap dollar DVDs. Go get a color movie from the Dollar Store and you will find that the color levels from dollar DVD are the same as 2004 Star Wars trilogy DVDs. The color correction of the 2004 DVD Box Set is really, really bad but lucas has knowingly put out a bad product (not just once but four times). Also the Box set is called the Star Wars trilogy, but has the Star Wars trilogy Special Editions. It being called the Star Wars trilogy without stating it is the Special Edition versions seems to be made to tricking people into thinking OOT.     
______
2005 DVD Box Set of the Star Wars trilogy:
Here we have a Three disk set (three movies and no bonus disk).

Here the con starts becoming clear. Here we have the same DVDs as 2004 with the same bad color errors. Now, lucas put them in a new box which has OOT art work on it. Once again It being called the Star Wars trilogy without stating it is the Special Edition versions and Now it has new OOT art work. All of this really seems like lucas is knowingly conning people into think these are the OOT.
_____
2006 DVDs of the Star Wars trilogy:

Now here another case of lucas is knowingly conning people.
Just like the 2005 DVDs, the 2005 DVDs are Once again It being called the Star Wars trilogy without stating it is the Special Edition versions and it has new OOT art work. The new Con is that these DVDs have the unaltered original theater versions. The thing is that it is NOT the unaltered original theater versions, but is the 1993 laserdisk versions with the original Episode IV opening scroll taken from a 1977 print. Fans have asked lucas for anamorphic Widescreen unaltered original theater versions of the Star Wars trilogy, but lucas knowingly con people by releasing non-anamorphic 1993 laserdisk versions of original theater versions. The DVDs boxes state that they are in widescreen, but the con is that it does not state that the Special Edition versions is the only anamorphic version in the set. The boxes states the Special Edition versions are enhanced for 16:9 TVs and the proof of the con is here. What did lucas use the word "enhanced" and not the word "anamorphic"? This seems to be only to confuse people.

-------------
I ask you: Why did lucas use the word "enhanced" and not the word "anamorphic"?
I ask you: Why did lucas not use the words like anamorphic and non-anamorphic which make it easy to know that the two disks are not the same?
I ask you: Why did lucas not just sell the non-anamorphic 1993 laserdisk versions of original theater versions alone? 
I ask you: Why does lucas keeps releasing the Same DVDs with New artwork almost each year?
I ask you: Why lucas keep releasing DVDs (2004 dvds and 2006 dvds) with Errors and Bad Quality.

--------------

I think police need to search Skywalker Ranch to find if lucas has been telling the truth or lying about not having the original masters of the unaltered original theater versions of the Star Wars trilogy.

----------

In the end of the Case of Lucas knowingly conning people could put Lucas behind bars.

I choose the Canon of the novel the good that men do over These are the voyages because that episode was crap and moore should be ashamed.

I share these feeling with you. The good that men do is a good novel and These are the voyages is a FU to the fans of not just Enterprise but all of Star Trek.

The Real Pocket Books Continuity which tries to be in Line with the films and tv series and is still not canon, well at least it was not canon until JJ got his hands on things.

skyjedi2005 also said:

I'm not jumping to conclusions But i imagine Hunter6 is going to say that the screenwriters of the jj pic are going to plagiarize stuff from the pocket books novels.  This might sit okay with cbs paramount who own pocket books, but what about the work for hire authors getting their work stolen? Like if they Lazily cobble together other peoples work they should not have a job in writing at all.

Well, JJ said that every thing is canon including the novels. I really thing he is saying that to protect himself from Fans yelling about the non-canon things in his film by saying that there is no non-cannon. I never thought about it as protect from being sued too, but now I do. By say that every thing is canon including the novels, JJ maybe trying to make the novels apart of trek history which cbs paramount owns, by do this JJ takes power from the authors suing him. Now, JJ and his Writer could say that they did not plagiarize, but were useing trek history.

One is the thing I hate about this new Star Trek film is that the idea of the young adventures of the enterprise crew was thought of before and Rejection back in 1991.  http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_First_Adventure

Star Trek 6 was going to be Star Trek: The First Adventure about the young adventures of the enterprise crew which JJ's Star Trek is now about . The thing is that Paramount Pictures, Gene Roddenberry and the regular Star Trek actors hated the idea which means Leonard Nimoy hated the idea of the young adventures of the enterprise crew, now Leonard Nimoy is in JJ's Star Trek which is the same idea. I question how much is JJ and his writers going to plagiarize from Star Trek: The First Adventure.

I do think some borrowing is o.k. like star trek: Enterprise useing the concept Enterprise design from the Star Trek The First Adventure idea to based the NX-o1 on.

USS Enterprise concept from Star Trek The First Adventure:

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Image:Star_Trek_The_First_Adventure%2C_USS_Enterprise_concept.jpg

The thing is that the writers of the new star trek (Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci) have cross the line of just borrowing to flat out stealing in the past. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts:_The_Clonus_Horror#The_Island_suit

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci should have been laughed out and kick out of hollywood for stealing so much from a movie so bad it was on MST3k. But NO!, they are handed Transformers, Star Trek and now Superman.

Lucas and Spielberg both have allegedly commited grievous Plagiarism and got away with it.

It can never be proven in court but Star Wars is probably the biggest piece of plagiarism ever produced. And this not according to me these are not my theories.

Many unauthorized Biographer or Website has discussed argued these points.

Most of the source authors Lucas mined for Star Wars were Alive at the time the film was made and received no compensation.  People Like Frank Herbert and Isaac Asimov.  alas for the passed away authors who could not protect their works like Edgar Rice Burroughs.  Not Sure if E.E. Smith was alive at the time but his works were plundered wholesale as well.  A case could be Made of Liberally Borrowing from the works of Professor J.R.R. Tolkien Like Lord of the Rings and The hobbit specifically. 

He borrowed from Kurosawa but that score was settled when he helped raise the money to get Kagemusha made.  Just like he supposedly gave money to the JCF or Joseph Campbell Foundation. Joe Campbell's book the hero with a thousand faces is also Very much used in Star Wars.

 

I love Star wars... but, yes it is one of the biggest piece of plagiarism/borrowing ever produced.

I think the prequels are more so then the OT. (To me, the prequels are like Ben-Hur meets Metropolis... but, badly)

the Lucas of today is a picker of the dead too.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_sources_and_analogues#Literature :

          Since Asimov's death in 1992, the Star Wars cinematic universe has gained new Asimov-esque elements

The thing which pisses me off about Lucas is that Lucas takes from many things, but then he is so sue happy on others which takes things from star wars or seem like they did.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica#Battlestar_Galactica_.281978.29

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Lucas+sues&btnG=Search

Lucas is smart in his plagiarism/borrowing, he plagiarism/borrowing from many things and mix them, unlike Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. 

A telling thing about today's Lucas and Spielberg is that they are friends with J. J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

actually star trek XI was supposed to be a fan movie. but fans got together and raised enough money to hire a director to make the movie. personally i think it'll be good. as for the whole cbs deal, i hope they realized the mistake they made and bring trek back.

This is not true about star trek XI.

The truth is that Fans got together and raised to make a 5th season of Star Trek: Enterprise.

Star Trek really drove itself into the fround with Nemesis and Enterprise. With the cancellation of Enterprise we saw a world without a current running ST TV series for the first time since the long gap between TOS and TNG. Nemesis, though set up with an ending that demanded a sequel, always had an air of being the last one to it, even in its advertising. After Nemesis, we all knew it would be a very long time before we saw another ST in the cinema. After Enterprise, we knew there would very likely never be another ST tv series again.

Nemesis was not set up with an ending that demanded a sequel and it was clear that it was the last TNG-era movie. The next movie planned was going to be about The Romulans Wars set around the time of ST: Enterprise.

Star Trek: Enterprise was bad in the 2nd and 3rd seasons, but the four season was started to turn it around (just like most star trek shows). The fact is that Star Trek: Enterprise did just as well as past TNG-era show like DS9 and VOY.

What really caused the cancellation of Enterprise was CBS buying out Paramount. 

The United Paramount Network (UPN) started with Star Trek (UPN's The first telecast, the two-hour pilot of Star Trek: Voyager). 

Once CBS was set to take over of Paramount, Star Trek: Enterprise was canceled and Paramount Television released all The four seasons of Enterprise which seemed fast (all The four seasons released in one year).  also The Romulans Wars movie plans were canceled. allot of people who worked on Star Trek for the past 18 years were fired.

after 18 years of non-stop run Star Trek was dead.

After CBS took over Paramount, they started on new projects like Indy 4 and a new star trek movie with a "younger cast".

CBS-Paramount hired J. J. Abrams (oddly on the same day, the shill web site: trekmovie.com started).

then CBS-Paramount fired all the people who worked on startrek.com just two weeks before chrismas.

It really seems like the Viacom owned Paramount ended and killed star trek before CBS took over which has made CBS-Paramount had to made "The New Coke of Star Trek" called J. J. Abrams' Star Trek.

Do we have experts here to answer my question? If I want to see old books/comics/movies that contain "prototypical" Indy, what should I look for?

The main "prototypical" Indy is H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quatermain.

also Rudyard Kipling's The Man Who Would Be King and HP Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness.

skyjedi2005 said:   Indiana Jones fans and star wars fans had their childhoods raped by Lucas and Spielberg, lol.  Just wait til next year when Gene Roddenberry rolls in his grave and the trekkies childhoods are raped by jj abrams.

Once again skyjedi2005, I share your feeling on things.

JJ Abrams is pulling a Lucas. 

JJ Abrams and the writers of the new star trek (Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman) are friends with both Lucas and Spielberg.

JJ Abrams even met with Lucas to talk Trek (not Roddenberry's family or good people who work on and know star trek).

I am both a Star Wars:OOT fan and Star Trek:TOS fan. I'm in a double hell.

Just look at this (the ibridge from JJ's Star Trek):

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4164654080/tt0796366

Trek fans rip on Star Trek: Enterprise, but Star Trek: Enterprise designs was way more true to the canon of trek. 

The writers of JJ's Star Trek (Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman) wrote The Island which stole from The Clonus Horror which was on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts:_The_Clonus_Horror

Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman are known for bad writing and steeling some movies.

Also The JJ's star trek movie has a so-called fan site, but is really a shill just like TF.N called trekmovie.com

I have been banned from both TF.N and trekmovie.com just for saying I did not like things about the star wars prequels or the JJ's star trek movie.

When I talk about star wars being gay, I talking about Gay subtext which allot of great movies had in them (like: Ben-Hur, Spartacus, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Lawrence of Arabia, Rebel Without a Cause and so on...).

Ben-Hur, Spartacus, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Lawrence of Arabia, Rebel Without a Cause are some of movies which Lucas used for inspiration on the prequels and the star wars saga (1997-today). Lucas is a film-buff and would have known about the Gay subtext. Lucas more likely wrote it in the prequels and you can see it in the GL's star wars saga (1997-today), specially in the Anakin and Obi-wan story arc of the prequels and the 2006 SE DVDs.

Lucas (of 1997 to today) presents The Star Wars Saga: A love story.

Learn how a man lost the man he loved to the darkside and how they found their love once again in the afterlife.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bUChEdTosY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bUChEdTosY

Star Wars at it's gayest historical point?...

R2-D2 and 3CP0

Anakin and Obi-Wan in the prequels and the SE.

Darth Vader and the Emperor in the prequels and the SE.

The Stars Wars Saga (NOT the OOT) seems to be Allegorical Tale of Coming to Terms with Homosexuality, but I do not care.

The G-canon Star Wars of today is more likely gay, but who cares.

The real question is which movies in Hollywood movies are not gay seeing most people who work in hollywood films are secretly gay.  

Now, if you mean Star Wars at it's WORST historical point: then that is 1997 to today and more likely into the future.

We should sue George Lucas. 

George Lucas has become a con-man and I do think that there is more likely some thing in the law in which a someone or a group could sue George Lucas for con.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_trick

A confidence trick or confidence game (also known as a bunko, con, flim flam, gaffle, grift, scam, scheme, or swindle) is an attempt to defraud a person or group by gaining their confidence.

I think in a court of law The '05,'06 and now the '08 DVD releases would be seen as Confidence tricks a.k.a scams.

The '06 dvds with the bad non-remastered transfers from old laserdisks is something taboo in mainstream media (specially coming from Lucas and ILM)  and most people who work in media would more likely call it a scam. 

This seems to fit the The '06 dvds: 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_confidence_tricks#Gold_brick_scams

Gold brick scams: Gold brick scams involve selling a tangible item for more than it is worth;    

I did NOT write this topic about a 70's/80's just For Indy 4.
I work in Media and have studied Digital and Video all my life.
This set up works for all DVDs and HD.

Yes, DVDs and HD have a great clearer picture then video, but you also lose more things with DVDs and HD, then with Video. 

DVDs and HD is killing visual media just look at most DVDs or HD:
Blast out Colors,
Too Deep Blacks,
Skin tones are not natural,
and sharpness levels too high.

Look at The Raiders of the Lost Ark DVD.
If you think this DVD is how Raiders of the Lost Ark looked in The movie houses in the 1980's...you are wrong. Yes the film clean up is good and the clearer picture is good, but the color levels are bad like most films of today. One thing is the blasting yellows, reds and Too Deep Blacks level. Raiders of the Lost Ark was not made to look like this. Most older films are mess-up by DVDs' and HD's  bad color levels. 

Sluggo, you seemed to have only looked at the topic title and posted based on it, not on what I wrote. 

TV SET-UP AND DVDs: for the best picture on your TV.

Two weeks ago I changed the color setting on my TV to make the picture look like it did in the 70's/80's (tone down colors, less black levels and so on). I hate the setting of DVD and HD with the blasting colors and too dark black levels, too much reds and yellows and so on. The 70's/80's setting made dvd watching better.

    Then I got the Indy 4 DVD and decided to use the normal TV setting and not The 70's and 80's setting. The film had super blasting colors and blinding blasted whites levels. I switch to my 70's/80's setting and It was great. It looked like an old Indy film. I do not know why film-makers today think super blasting colors and blinding blasted whites levels are so great.

     The 70's and 80's setting in the best thing for watching DVDs.

Step 1: Try to remember how films color setting looked in 70's/80's or watch an VHS tape of an old 70's/80's movie with "outside sunny scenes".

Step 2: Put in a dvd of a movie from the 70's/80's and set the color settings to match. (tone down colors, less black levels and so on).

Tip: Make flesh tones look real flesh tones. (A lot of DVDs have too much red.)

Go try it and have fun.

I said Rage "against" George which means release your Hate about George and so on...

I DID NOT say Fave for George.

This is for lucas-bashing and not lucas-licking

This is the place to release your HATE about George Lucas, TF.N, all the other Lucas suck-ups, the SE and the mess-up things Lucas & the Lucas-whores have done to the OOT and fans.

THIS IS A PLACE FOR LUCAS-BASHING

special editions are nothing but a personal fan edit by george lucas to satisfy himself and should never been released or allowed to supercede the classic versions.  Nobody would care if he released the oot in a real restoration. Instead we get 1993 laserdisc bonus discs.

Right on!,

     all of this is so true.

this is dead-on about Star Wars right now,

also it is true about allot of thing in the world today, the same s**t over and over again. 

Rehashes, Reboots, Remakes, Revisions, Repackaged, Rip-offs and so on...

-------------

that picture of Heyden-Vader shows how wimpy Heyden-Vader is.

thin weak arms that are padded with foam, big over-sized shoulder armor to make him look bigger and did you know Heyden-Vader had to look out the mouth-piece to make him look taller.

Man, I am so bored with GL and his BS.

Well, time to go look up old 1976 to 1986 star wars things and Fan-made things, on-line because that the only way I will see something I had not seen before which are good.

Lucas could have just added CGI Yoda in TPM only, but No!
Lucas could have just re-transferred TPM only, but No!
Lucas could have just fix color errors of the '04 SE only, but No!
Lucas could have just added deleted scenes from OT only, but No!

Repackaged Number THREE!!!!!
Lucas is the dumbest person in the world!

It seems like the EP of The Simpsons in which Mr. Burns has Yes-Men all around him which all say yes to Mr. Burns' bad ideas and lie to him. I live in the bay area and have heard about Lucas hiring only Yes-Men who kiss his butt and now I see it maybe true.

Repackaged Number THREE!!!!!
COME ON GEORGE!!!!!
STOP THE MADNESS!!!!

Do fans need to boycott all Star Wars Items?
Do fans need to picket outside Skywalker Ranch?
Do fans need to flood Skywalker Ranch with letters of hate?
Do fans need to form groups and call media outlets to report about these things.
What will stop this Repackaged Hell?

Maybe the true fact is Star Wars' soul is Dead and has been for years.

All we are getting are Re-:
                                 Re-packaged DVDs
                                 Re-painted Action figures
                                 Re-hashed stories (see Prequels and EU)
                                 Re-writes of history (see SE)
                                 Re-lease of the same movies.
              
Re-, Re-, Re-, Re-, Re- and did I say Re-!

Is there another movie which has been Repackaged on DVD three times with out some type of remastering or new version as one of the Releases?

Lucas is the dumbest person in the world!
No one will buy these repackaged sets!

First, Clone Wars is bad and Failed

now Repackaged Number Three

Are we entering "The Fall of Lucas Era" 

God, I hope so!

1. that Australian DVD Site had the same posting in 2007 too. theforce.net once again posted the same rumor.

2. from reading posts and other things on-line 5 to 3 weeks before TCW, the writing was on the wall about TCW. It was going to fail.

Most Fans and non-fans were not into seeing TCW. 

Lucas and his crew would seen the writing was on the wall about TCW just like many people saw it weeks before it came out. 

Hell, Lucas could have known back in June about TCW more likely failing but it was to late to pull it or change it. 

You know Lucas was hoping for a Pixar like hit with great reviews and high sales.

If the box sets are real (packaged or not), I think it is damage control.

I feel that only change will be a CGI Yoda in TPM and some new game demo and new game trailers. Fans know GL has changed the puppet yoda to CGI in TPM. if this is just a repackage of old sets then fans will not buy it. TF.N-like fans will not buy it too. but if TPM has one change like a CGI Yoda in TPM then TF.N-like fans will buy it. if this is just a repackage of old sets then it is also a repackage of old game demo and old game trailers. You would think GL would throw in a Force unleashed game demo or game trailer.
if this is just a repackage of old sets then Lucas would have to be the dumbest person in the world (2nd only to TF.N-like fans).

this is 2004 once more,

the '04 dvds has been repackages two times now....

GL and his crew would have to be the dumbest people in the world, if they think people will buy a third repackage.

If this is another repackage and no new changes, then GL may start to lose fans and money.

I have a feeling that the Prequel Trilogy box set will have new changes like TMP cgi yoda and so on...

I have been hearing for the past three years that GL and his crew are working on changes and it is four years after the '04 dvds.

GL and his crew have already said that they have release one too many times and the 30th anniversary box sets were held back.

I do have the feeling that these are the 30th anniversary box sets

Gaffer Tape says:

Yeah, I agree. I mean, just take a look at the marketing for the previous DVD sets. The press was huge for the '04 release because it was the first time Star Wars was on DVD. Then you have the '05 release. Did it get any press? No, because it was the '04 set in a different package. Then with the '06, it got plenty of attention too for several months because of the fact that it had the "theatrical versions." Now, aside from these pictures popping up a mere few months before the release, have you heard anything else about them? No. The pattern that has been forming indicates that this is simply another repackage. If it had been anything big, it would have been hyped up the wazoo.

I think that is all true, but The Clone Wars is the thing now, who knows about next month.

The Clone Wars is been marketed like Prequels. GL and his crew were trying to made Prequel-like money off The Clone Wars...

but then....

The Clone Wars failed and people do not like it....

so, maybe GL and his crew are now falling on plan B.

Plan B: to release the new versions of the Prequel Trilogy and the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD.

think about: one week after The Clone Wars failed, now like magic we are hearing about new box sets.

think about 2: GL's The Clone Wars Christmas sale plans are gone, now like magic we are hearing about new box sets.

The Newest butt-burger from George Lucas is the force unleashed. (The project was created with the direct input and guidance of Star Wars creator George Lucas.)  This will include Lucas ripping money from pocket with a game, a game guide, a novel, a graphic novel, a webstrip, a toy line, a reference book, a Miniatures set, and RPG supplement.

The Force Unleashed also called T.F.U. is true to the F.U. part.

The Force Unleashed is a Matrix rip-off with a Chosen One Hero with super-uber powers like Neo in the  Matrix. Once again George Lucas rewrites star wars history.
