He gave it to you..... just not in "non-anamorphic" blah blah transfer.

And if they sold well, they'll be released again, hopefully the way people want them... that was actually a time when you needed to buy SW DVD's...

Where does the sense of entitlement come from? The "he owes us", "we never asked for a SE".... he doesn't owe you nor does he need your permission. And before you say "I bought tickets, DVD's, plastic toys, lollipops, etc." Nobody was/is holding a gun to your head. Stop buying and see how many DVD releases there are.

2004 ESB DVD Version: Luke does not scream when he plummets from Vader on Cloud City

I guess were still waiting for that final vision that Lucas couldn't achieve back in 1980

yup, you'll be waiting for another DVD release just like everyone else.

Then you'll bitch about it.

Again.

As I said, Go-Mer often gets into arguments where he and the other person simply post nonsense and this usually seems like it is because Go-Mer can't let people have a differing opinion and because he enjoys it when people are frustrated with him. It's childish but not worthy of banning. Web forums that police everything to an extreme are lame. (Besides, if the other players didn't take part in those conversations they wouldn't go as far as they do.) He offers a different opinion to discuss and I think that's generally a good thing, even if we end up with a lot of off-topic threads.

Are you serious? Go-Mer can't let other people have differing opinions? wow.

That 1999 statement is prefaced with:

The long-standing perception has been that the complete Star Wars saga is a 9 film cycle, and after Episodes I through III were finished Lucas would move on to Episodes VII, VIII, and IX, resuming where Return of the Jedi had left off. "That's really not part of the plan AT THIS POINT, " he says. "When you see it six parts, you'll understand. It really ends at part six."

When he says he never came up with seuqels for the 6 movies as they are now, he's talking about the fact that the story always ended with the Sith being vanquished. Originally, he was planning that resolution to take place in Episode 9, but he decided to cap it all with Episode 6.

In 1999 He's talking about sequels to the story he has now, which ends at episode 6.

Back then, he was talking about that same story taking 9 films.

Go-Mer is the best poster on these boards...

Oh you edited. You're just trying some trollish bull shit.

I'm saying you've been a "basher" of the PT for quite a while. If you "throw the PT in the garbage"... why continue to talk about it years later?

How else am I going to tell people I threw those shitty movies in the garbage for the one billionth time?

It is what it is, George Lucas' poorly written Fx tests. He even had Anakin fighting Greedo in Phantom menace in a deleted scene. that's the kind of thought process that went into the making of this trilogy. The man has changed and doesn't take this shit seriously anymore. so why should I take those films seriously. *shrugs*

*throws PT films in garbage*

Feel free to keep posting about them on every SW message board you can find though!

Why would I do that?

Are you saying you've stopped talking about how much the PT sucked on SW message boards?

Do you often post on message boards related to the work of a "complete hack"?

Oh, I'm around!

Serioulsly, though... there was plenty of worn looking vehicles in the PT. Slave 1, the Jedi Starship.... the only one that was "clean" where the silver Naboo ships, but a Queen with a filthy beat-up ship doesn't make much sense...

That's very true. None of the vehicles really had the personality of the ones in the OOT. But then Lucas made the bizarre decision to make everything in the PT clean and new, going against the look that set Star Wars apart from other Sci-Fi movies that came before. I think the lack of personality goes hand in hand with that decision. The craft that we fell in love with felt like they weren't from a 1950s "visions of a utopian future", they felt like they were functional and had a relationship with their owners. Particularly with the Millennium Falcon, which looked like Han Solo had added to it countless times, making it faster and tougher. The two of them had grown together.

Where do you get that from? Go back and look Attack of the Clones.... the clonetroopers and the vehicles are all dirty and worn.

I don't even pretend to understand how the Academy awards work. They have always struck me as pretty arbitrary for the most part.

I'm not saying everyone hated the classic trilogy. I'm just saying it was criticised for the same things the prequels were.

It's not like all of a sudden people were saying Star Wars had lousy writing, acting, or relied too much on special effects when the SE's/Prequels came out.

To me it's interesting the way a lot of us overlooked the bad acting, horrible writing, and heavy special effects for the originals, but won't give a smiliar pass for the preqeuls/se.

Right on.

Somehow SFX that involve a computer are teh Suxxx, while SFX in the OT are overlooked completely.

The OT is looked at through the Rosiest of Rose-Tinted glasses.

They’re great flicks and I love ‘em to death… but people forget shit like Carrie Fisher going in and out of British accents during the same scene. If that stuff happened in the PT you wouldn’t hear the end of it.

Nevertheless, Hamill and Fisher are akin to Brando and Streep apparently.
