Batman - the 60's tv series.

when i was 3 watching tv before i started school i had to go to my cousin's house cos my parents were workin and my sisters and brother were away at school.

I can remember watching Return of the Jedi VHS at his house a few images like the sarlaac scene i can remember. The one i really remember is that the Monkees the tv series used to be on and i'd watch it too.

Uh, isn't that the only reason to release *any* home video? I mean, the filmmaker already created their work and it played in cinemas.






Actually, I am almost dreading this release. Cuz it's going to be a slipshod job and we're going to be disappointed with it.

I know I'm sounding overtly negative and it seems like I'm whining just to whine, but we've gotten less than steller releases from LucASSfilm that should have gotten royalty treatment (SW DVD release).

Sorry, I know I sound like a whiney fan, but if he's not going to put effort into it, then we're not going to get something that is the best possible release of the films.

Sad, really.



Well put, LucASS will never please us and give us what we want.

Ultimate/Archival Editions of the OT

Personally I would hope that there could be a Ultimate Boxset of the OT with a lot of bonus features and deleted scenes hopefully the blu-ray release in 2007 or 2008.

New scenes and some special effects and a few changes to the OT (as long as there good) might be added to the OT. For Example "Emperor and Vader in Coruscant in the end of ANH, Fett escaping the sarlaac in ROTJ....

And of course the one i really want is the Theatrical cuts of the OT released too.

Does anyone think that Ultimate Editions should be released with some new scenes and some bad special effects fixed? and you can post some of your ideas of the movies and what you want done with them.

Why such hate on the OT DVD set?

When It comes to Greedo shooting first, I do not mind. It makes Han Solo look like a bigger badass I think. It is like Han never flinched and kept his cool then killed Greedo in just 1 shot. Han shooting first just makes him look like a jackass who is not calm and cool and does not do well under pressure, IMHO.

Well it makes him look like a lucky son of a bitch but i would have him shoot first anyway cos his character changes later on.


Having Padme die in ROTS Is also a good thing I like, If you watch ROTJ and listen to what look has to say about his mother, then you will understand more.

Well agreed.


Jedi Rocks is kind of cheesey, but It does not take away from the story so I do not mind.



Lapti Nek must be put back.


My only real problems with the DVD set is that The Lightsabers look dull and need to be corrected, The DeathStar battle in Episode 4 is the only thing that actually needs CGI. I mean come on lucas, if you are going to use CGI..add X-wings and Tie-Fighters duking it out. I also would not mind the Intro sequence in Episode 4 being CGI, The flames need some work on, along with all the laser blast in Episode 4 & 5.

I would correct the lightsabers no doubt, add more Tie fighters and Y-Wings to the Death Star Battle would be good.


Things I ask for in the next edit are for more Music to be placed into Episode 4 (some of the scenes, even in 1977 to me just seemed so bland)

Imperial March and a possible "Battle of the Heroes" could be put in.


When the 30th Anniversary comes out, it would be nice to see Episodes 1 - 6 to be like this.

Episode 4 has more music (John Williams is the best music composer next to Howard Shore)


Yep like i said before.


Possible scene in Episode 4 with Palpatine disolving the senate on Coruscant (it would be a short scene, so if he could do it with as little CGI...that would be great because I know the herdy fans would flame this great film to no end if it had tons of CGI, I would like to see CGI though)

No, as a huge Ian McDiarmid and Emperor fan I always wanted this to be put in but i have finally decided NO!. It slows down the pace of the film, Tarkin already mentions that the Emperor has dissolved the Senate making it reduntand. Sidious/Palpatine was a huge head and main character in ROTS and would be quite strange for him not to appear in A New Hope and it's really artistic. After ROTS you only see him in a holo in ESB and you finally get to see him in ROTJ and what has become of him with his grotesque appearance after 20 years.

What I would add is a Vader and Emperor holo at the end of the film in Coruscant where you see obviously Palpy as a holo and they discuss the Destruction of the DS, Tarkin, Obi-Wan.


Flame me all you want for this one...but I wanna see Qui Gon at least. If your gonna have HC..why not throw in Qui Gons crazy ass..now its a party. After all...Qui Gon did trigger alot of this stuff in STAR WARS.

I too want to see Qui-Gonn in ROTJ, but only when Luke turns around you see him making eye contact with Obi (Alec not Ewan!!), muppet Yoda and Hayden.


In Episodes 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 Either add a Puppet Yoda to all scenes (of course except the fighting scenes) or a CGI Yoda. I want Lucas to stick with 1 version of yoda that seems to AGE over the course of thing, not look old, young, old. If he wants to use his Mitichlorion BS..then use the CGI yoda. Using CGI is alot easier to chage dialogue with, than with a puppet (DUH) And possibly add Talk of Qui Gon or Mace or something.

Well i would CG Yoda for the PT, but not in the OT!

ROTJ Should end showing the JEDI Ghost after it shows the rebels and landos absurred clapping dance, since the series did start with them.

But the Rebels and the gang are the ones that brought peace and destroyed the Empire, Luke Skywalker has finally destroyed the Sith which the whole saga was about, Why show the ghosts????


I think after the 30th Anniversary EDIT, Lucas should no longer change the films. Hopefully he will have them to the point he can watch Episodes 1 - 6 and be content with himself.

Yep, agreed.
