I was gonna say that too. That and the AR seemed a bit off. Of course I don't have the equipment to verify these things, just from looking.

Even the Gobstoppers beat me by ten years. I wish I could try some of those because they sound good, especially the Oompas. My parents always say that candy used to taste better in the 70's before it was extremely mass-produced.

The Planets by Gustav Holst.....i know he took a few parts directly from Mars and maybe Jupiter....maybe. Good music either way and some of it could possibly work into a prequel theme.

As for the PT music, I think I like TPM the best. It sounds so much different from the OT music yet still seems very Star Wars. TPM is such a distance away from the OT that it seems like a completely different story by itself and having very few themes cross over in the score makes it more interesting. If I remeber right, besides the title theme, only the force theme, the sith theme and a quiet rendition of Vader's theme show up in TPM. All the rest is new, interesting and very different like the movie it'self and soon the whole PT.

I'm tired so it may seem like rambling.

EDIT: I'm retarded and missed the poll on top. Deleted half my post because of it. JW>>>>>>>HZ

My parents were also nice in not giving anything away when fisrt sat down one boring summer day with these rather old looking tapes. It was around 1994 or 1995 when I was in maybe 2nd grade. When the reveal came, I had no clue about it. I never heard much about Star Wars in my life before that to really care. I was totally screwed up because I'd never been presented such a downer movie ending in my short life. I never actually thought he was lying about it because it just seemed to work for the story (which probably comes from first watching all of them on the same day with ANH still very fresh in my mind).

But now a whole new generation will have these movies shown to them I-VI and unless they are totally unable to pay attention for the PT (thanks to it being too complicated and disjointed for the average 6-7 year old) then the Vader reveal won't strike them as anything special, just another thing that you know but Luke doesn't (because it's not about Luke right........).

The n64 ushered in the joystick era. The PS came out with dual-shocks a year or so later and every console since then has been primarily joystick oriented (for obvious reasons posted before this). I kinda (read: fuckin') hated the n64 controller. I mean, not really while I had and played it, but in retrospect. It musta been a hell of a lot easier to design something comfortable and logical than it was to design that thing. I hate how Nintendo seriously tries too hard. They sacrifice quality of game playing just to be unnecassarily unique....IMO of course.

I find it kinda game specific. Some just seem smoother with the joystick because they were made that way. Obviously all the best games (NES, SNES, Genesis, old PS)use D-pads. I play those more these days than newer stuff so I like D more.

It's almost like those sites where you can view a picture at 360 degrees....except EXTREME!!!! I still think that it's a little bit too ambitious. I mean, sure people take lots of pictures, but finding enough pictures from all the right angles to make the thing smooth sailing to use would be so near impossible. You'd almost have to have gruops of people out everywhere taking pictures of things for hours from all angles. But still, I hope that I can see it for myself someday if they can make it work.

I wish they had another video showing just some awesome examples of places they've worked on.

I had whatever Darth Maul one was biggest. It was the best of both worlds, I could use one or both. But like almost all random children lightsaber fights, it was fun but retarded looking. I'm sure I'm not the only one that knows that you can really get into lightsaber fights and more than once my parents thought me and my brother were beating the hell out of eachother with big plastic sticks. But really, my fingers were the only thing to ever get hit and keep hurting.

Now just kinda go with me on this one. It popped into my head at work very randomly.

What if Star Wars, being the relatively independent film that it was at the time, tanked upon it's release? The second I thought about it, I started imagining how my life, in whatever way, would be different. Granted it would most likely become a cult classic of sorts but imagine all the things on each of your lives that would be different. Imagine if there never was:

an Empire Strikes Back or ROTJ - sequels possibly, but nothing in the vein of the actual sequels and probably really not good

Revisions - this site wouldn't exist, few of you would know each other, GL might have possibly moved on to become a respectable individual

EU - very very few books, games, toys (this seems unimaginable to me)

Prequels - meh...

No fighting for a decent DVD release of this film. It would get standard treatment (for an old cult classic with no real demand)

I know I missed a lot of things here. Let's try to get a list going of what things in your life or the world would be significantly different if SW flopped and history was changed. (this is also why time travel disturbs me)

ummm....discuss?

I'd like to hope that this is one of the RARE exceptions. The last thing the net needs is another "Star Wars" film that consists of little more than a bunch of overweight, pale-faced "Jedi" running around the woods in bathrobes and acting out storylines that make the crap that my friends and I used to do in our backyards as kids look like Shakespeare.

That's the spirit...................

that and it was pg-13 and had boobs....any horny teenager could get a massive ship sinking and boobs...all in the same movie.

...but on topic, I actually think that originally he was only intending these to be his "special" versions....as the moniker would suggest. Only in the back of his mind was he thinking "I wish I coulda done this shit back in the day." When they did so well in theaters (we all did our part here) he obviously thought people liked these versions a whole lot (when really most just wanted to see any type of Star Wars on the big screen) or at least didn't care he made changes.

So basically, I think he made the mistake of thinking everyone that saw the movies in 1997 in theaters really enjoyed the changes, or at minimum didn't mind, and therefore went forth with the "original vision" BS that he could now claim.

Just a thought tho....there are prolly articles that prove me wrong...but I don't have the time.

I just wish they'd tilted the shot so you'd think more like like it's crashing into the DS2 instead of falling onto (which it wouldn't do) it (which it wouldn't do). But it's has to be played down for the little kids cuz they don't understand space and it's physics well.

BTW, I'm not saying they intended to make the shot look like it's falling, it's just seems to have turned out like that because of the angle.

To me personally....I don't think it's the end of the world. I perfectly well see where you are coming from so don't get mad at that. It totally astounds me how they clearly have the original crawl transfered to digital because of EoD. Why they simply didn't matte it to the lame 4:3 letterbox and edit it in to the LD transfers makes no sense. It's a rather simply thing to do compared to going in and digitally making one up or whatever they did.
