why? It's as if every star wars forum I join, I find you at. And I can't believe... I've known of you and your pt-loving for an unbelievable 7 years of my life. Damn.

Who are you?

Lucas?

JediRandi,
MeBeJedi is right, why do you waste your time in a forum which has a mission statement and a purpose that you have no interest in? I don't go into your midget on horse porn forums and criticize your love for said porn, why would I? I also don't feel the need to criticize your collection of naked Lucas paintings, why would I waste my time?

Another knee-slapper.

More deflection - you just can't face the fact of how retarded your presence here is, or else the need of your ulterior motives overwhelms your embarrasment.

"Edit-boy", LOL. More proof. Must feel good to go around peeing in other people's cheerios, eh? Not much else in your life going on, right?

Or maybe you just can't find any boards that would want you, so you are stuck with posting at boards that want you the least? That must be it.

"And you use the word "boggle" in darn near every post. Take a break from editing Jar Jar Binks dialogue and edit "boggle" out of your vocabulary. "

Ironically, that word, and its continual use, was borrowed from your new-found boyfriend, Gomer. Make sure to give him the heads-up on its usage (after giving him head, of course.)

And yet you come to boards where you know this sort of thing goes on.

You are not here to contribute, therefore you are here to troll, therefore no respect for you.

Cry all you want about it, but you bring it all on yourself when you bring it to these forums.

It's like going to a leper colony to berate all the lepers. It boggles the mind to understand what sick satisfaction you get from coming here and reading the posts of people that you don't like, and then acting so abused when people respond to your negative posts.

GET A FUCKING CLUE!

I guess you were thinking that that was civilized. Nice try.

"nobody really "knows" each other. I just think its more fun to go back and forth a bit."



Your idea of "back and forth" sucks, and you seem to "know" about people who make fan-edits. See how two-faced you are? (Just like Gomer, I might add.)

Your accusation is aimed directly at me, and I'm supposed to give a shit about your opinion - especially on a board that is rife with folks who make or enjoy such fan edits?

You are soooooo in the wrong fucking place, it's not even funny.

Boo-hoo. Shall we go through your post history, too? Such a memory...

The difference here, Randy, is that when people bitch about something in the PT or complain about a change in the OT, they aren't told "Shut up and accept it. It's part of Lucas' grand vision. It's the way it's suppose to be. If you don't like it, go away". We're not constantly praising or complaining about every little thing and even the people that are doing that aren't told to "shut up and go away".

I use to read some of the forums on TFN. Any dissenting at all was met with harsh criticisms of how you can possibly be against anything the "almighty Lucas" has decided to "bestow upon us lowly individuals". I'm sure most of the TFNers are more than grateful for the substandard DVD release, assuming they even want it. I'd bet most of them don't care for it at all since it's not remastered so "it looks like crap". "It's his movie. He can do whatever he wants to it and we should be grateful that we're getting anything". And they just keep on slurping it up.

BTW, I like Star Wars too. The OOT. Not the PT. Not the GOUT.

Okay. I read everything Go-Mer said in the Try to take it easy with the Lucas bashing thread. I didn't have a problem with any of that either. Make no mistake, I think the prequels and SE suck. But I don't have anything against people who like them, especially if they have nothing against me and even go out of their way to find points of agreement with the tone of this forum generally.

" It boggles my mind"

It's funny how often you are boggled. I think it's really indicative of something. Many things, actually.

"if anyone cares to read back through his posts in this thread, they'll find that most of what he says is pretty reasonable"

Let me assure you, everything he says is exceptionally tongue-in-cheek. While he may seem very "neutral" and "reasonable", his true feelings are anything but. He's simply learned how to type "under the radar." That being said, even TF.n grew tired of it, and he has been banned for it. Just give him time.

Please don't let him fool you. I have a nice list of quotes from another time when he was banned, and will be more than happy to show you his true side when I can access them.

It boggles my mind that you "Gay for Lucas" types are wasting your time here. You have visited the home page right? You do know that this entire site is dedicated to the preservation of the OT right? Stinky had a pretty good idea with that ship in the bottle thing, but I think an even better solution would be for Randi and Gomer Binks to start a "Gay for Lucas" site of their own. There you could frolic in the fields of Lucas' genius, and setup weekend marathons where you all get together to watch the six different versions of each film. You could also swap Jar Jar memorobilia and have contest to find how who loves George the most. That would be really cool, www.GayforLucas.com

Wow, that says it all. Your mind must be constantly boggled. Now I'm being serious, you really should start GayforLucas.com.

There are numeours places, on this website and others, which prove that that statement is false. Even if it is true, there are still ways that the OOT could be restored. Lucas just won't let it happen.

Zing...Man you're quick. Why don't you and Go-Mer-Tonic go back to your home on a-hole island.

Wow, you're sort of a dick huh.

I don't know if I personally would call it hate, as much as frustration. I always thought that I would be happy once Lucas releases the OOT on DVD. He could redo as much as he wanted, as long as he gave us the OOT. I never thought that he would end up releasing such a cheaply done rip of the laserdisc masters, that isn't even anamorphic or anything. The man who brought us THX, and that was the best he could do? Oh, well. I guess it could be worse. We got something, and I didn't think that would even happen.
As for the prequels, yes, I don't think they are nearly as good as the OOT. ROTS was good, and I actually thought that Phantom Menace was ok, once I started ignoring Jar-Jar. Attack of the Clones was awful.
If you liked the prequels, check out some of the edits that have been done by the members around here. Magnoliafan did a great edit of the first two, as have some others.

What's happenein JadiRandi?

So is saying I have a pea-brain considered "criticism" around here? Or am I devaluing the word "hate" in this case?

Originally posted by: Go-Mer-Tonic
Well it was at least nice to see that there are -some- others here who aren't all about hate.

Originally posted by: Mike O


You're entilted to a different opinion. But what are you saying? That the treatment the the OOT is getting is OK?

Originally posted by: MeBeJedi
LOL...I love how JediRandy comes here just to read posts and get his panties all in a bunch.

Someday, he'll learn that he isn't going to make a difference here.

It's not really a theory; it's right there on starwars.com. If you have eyes, you can see it. And no one said LFL did; Lucas did.

They are not conspiracies, JediRandy; they are lies and deceit exposed. I have personally seen the source files Lucasfilm claims don't exist to produce restored OT discs. The denial of their existence is a lie; as is the idea that financial and talent resources aren't available for a proper restoration. (I'm one of dozens of people who offered to donate state-of-the-art post-production services and facilites completely gratis to see it done.) The idea that the imagery in the 2004 DVD is superior is as laughable as any side-by-side comparison can demonstrate, only a few hundred of which are documented on my site. The revisionist nature of the entire history is well-documented, and disputed by no shortage of people involved in the creation of Star Wars.

None of us know exactly why this has always happened; probably never will. Probably financial, in some way that doesn't make sense to us, shy of some lynch-pin piece of data. But the evidence for a "conspiracy," if you want to be so X-Files about it, is overwhelming. In the end, there are just too many of us, with too much material and expertise, too many inside contacts, and too many privileged sources to make the idea of a deliberately substandard release anything less than fact. In fact, even Lucasfilm is aware the images are substandard: they're deliberately posting compares on the StarWars.com site to show you how shitty the OT DVD's you just bought are.

Frankly, I don't care why Lucasfilm takes the position they do; I already have my own Star Wars vastly superior to anything they've put out. But in the interest of preservation, accuracy, and love for the trilogy, I'm not going to turn a blind eye to the deficiencies which are patently obvious in these transfers. I'm not going to pretend it's okay for Luke's lightsaber in ANH to be green, or Obi Wan's to be purple, or all the glows eaten off the laserbolts. I'm not going to pretend it's okay that the audio in the surrounds are fipped left-to-right. I'm not going to pretend it's okay that the 2006 DVD is grainier than a pre-93 laserdisc transfer I've had sitting on my hard drive for years. I'm not going to believe the source files for a proper restoration don't exist when I've seen them with my own eyes.

If you honestly can't conceive of any of the myriad reasons - financial, artistic, or personal - for why all of this has gone down, then I don't know what to tell you. It isn't particularly hard, nor uncommon a set of potential motivations. As far as conspiracy theories go, it's about as boring as it gets.
