What Special Edition changes (if any) did people like?
Time

RicOlie_2 said:

There are so many amazing changes I loved, I don't think I can list them all!

In ANH, it was wonderful to see Han fire only in self-defense, making him seem less like a bad guy! That added such depth to his character and showed there was really good in him all along.

The Jabba scene was also a great idea! Not only do we get to see Jabba extra early so we don't have to wait so long to see him in ROTJ, but the important dialogue from the Greedo scene is reinforced and repeated so that we don't forget that Han has to pay Jabba lots of money. That is important for ESB and ROTJ, otherwise people would probably forget why Jabba wanted Han. But not only that; the new Jabba was created with pristine, state-of-the-art CGI and looked just like the puppet!

The ring around the Death Star explosion really added power to the scene and was so much more satisfactory than the old, pathetic one which really looked like a model blowing up (but now it doesn't because of the ring!).

I also really loved the nice blue tint they put over everything, as that added so much colour and atmosphere to the movie.

Also, it looks like Obi-Wan wears lipstick a lot, which I think is a clever nod to the transgender community, showing Lucasfilm's acceptance of all people in the fan community.

In ESB, I was glad to see that the wampa got more screen time. The poor guy hardly made an appearance originally, but now we get to see him eat, confirming our suspicions that he actually ate the tauntaun. With its previous ambiguity, we didn't know what happened to the tauntaun or why the wampa took Luke, but it is all put to rest for once and for all (for all because that crappy original original trilogy is gone now).

I was pleased to see that Boba Fett's stupid voice was finally gone, and replaced by a real actor. The new one sounds like he's half asleep, which works really well with Fett's character, since it shows that he is bored and is so cool he doesn't even care about what's going on.

Vader's new line replacing "Bring my shuttle!" is so much better. With the old line we were left wondering, "Where is Darth Vader going? Will the people on the Star Destroyer be sufficiently prepared for his arrival?" Now everything is clear and we don't have to worry about it anymore.

Another change that I liked was the new Emperor/Vader scene. Now we don't have to deal with Clive Revel and Elaine Baker and we have the handsome Ian replacing them...and with brand new dialogue that explains things better for the fans!

Hoth looked really did look cold with the new blue tint (everything else looked cold too, but whatever).

In ROTJ we are treated to an all new music video called "Lappy Neck" or something like that. The talent and CGI displayed in the video was so good that I think they should go back and replace Star Wars with a musical saga, replacing all puppets with CGI and adding a whole bunch of new ones who can pop out from behind trees and stuff and sing (I can see it now: Star Wars: A Musical Hope followed by The Tenor Strikes Back and Rehearsal of the Jedi and preceded by The Phantom VocalistAttack of the Notes, and Remix of the Sith).

I also love the new ending! Now we get to see Naboo and see that our beloved Gungans are OK and we can finally dispel the former notion that the collapse of the Empire was actually spread out over a long period of time. Now we know that everybody was happy as soon as the Emperor died, so the Empire couldn't have been that bad after all, giving us more sympathy for the Imperials when we watch the movies again.

Perhaps best of all is that we get to see the tender young Anakin Skywalker, with the appearance of our beloved protaganist from the prequel trilogy, whereas before that scene was a "Who the heck is that guy?" moment, which detracted from the emotional impact of the scene. Now we see more clearly the tender love between father and son as young Anakin sheepishly smiles at his son and all former misunderstandings fall away. What better way to end the saga?

Overall, I am glad that Lucas just added a bunch of stuff without changing the story and keeping all the continuity errors and other stuff intact. Even better, it is really noticeable so that we don't miss any exciting new stuff and we don't get the original and the special editions mixed up.

May your midichlorians multiply and good luck come on the backs of rontos!

Okay, after reading this, either this thread is being turned in to a farce for the amusement of some or this RicOlie_2- is a sock, or both. 

Reason being, I have NEVER seen anyone in this forum THIS nice and pretty over the Special Edition Trilogy (especially with all the mentions of puppets and musical Star Wars) ........ EVA.

I think I'm going to be sick ...............................................

Superman IV International Cut (see Booshman's posts) (Released)
Time

I noticed while watching the Superman IV LD rip that there was a brief view of the LD volume levels being viewed, then it disappeared, it would need to be removed if it were to be a source for an edit.  Other than that, it was a decent cap @ only 4GB size.

Thanks for sharing.  It was a real treat.

Sorry to bump this thread, but does anyone know if there is a Cinema DTS disc for Rush Hour 2?

Thanks

I will take a look around DJ ..... if I can obtain it, I will.

Thank you, hopefully there is one but who knows? I just hope the HDX video looks as good as the retail BD's for 1 & 3, I still cannot believe part 2 is still a no show, and for this long even.

1 more thing, do you know if there is one for this movie, now don't laugh lol, Bring it On?

DJ, I have acquired "Bring It On" but I am still working on Rush Hour 2.  I obtained Rush Hour 1 & 3 but those are not what you're looking for.

Cheers!!!!

Whoa, now that's great news! funny no love from the Cinema DTS CD's for Rush Hour 2 as well lol.

Sometimes, it takes a bit.  Now that I've got 1 & 3, finding 2 might be a bit easier.  Hopefully.

I will let you know Bring it On is decoded.

 Then why is it wrong to "practice homosexuality?"  What if your religion says you should?

If homosexuality is as natural as heterosexuality then why does one need to practice being one or the other?

;)

 You used a winky, implying a joke, but of course one doesn't have to practice one or the other.  Read the thread title again.

If both are natural functions ..... one need not practice or have a religion to tell them to ... because it comes naturally, but I think you already knew what I meant.

Project Index: Star Wars Preservations <em>(last update 29th Oct '17)</em>

^This has fallen by the wayside.  Last attempt was a disc by Rikter, maybe 2006...

There was that "Laserman" disc that went out to people who donated to the cause.  I was one of those that received a disc but I have since added other more recent artwork found to it.  I'm not even sure of the actual size of the folder anymore.

It gets a bit tedious trying to fill separate requests of specific artwork people want although I have tried to fill some.

Maybe I'll have to sort through what I have and create an ISO for upload somewhere.

^ 'Polish National Catholic' that sounds serious! Some beautiful churches in Poland (Krakow anyway) btw.

I notice alot of people like the "Hate the sin but love the sinner" quote when it comes to homosexuality. Personally I think it's because it's a nice way to tell themselves that they aren't really prejudiced against gays.

But let me give an example of "Hate the sin but love the sinner" and see if anybody thinks it sounds right? If somebody were to say...

"I don't hate Jews, infact I love Jews.. it's just people who speak Hebrew, pray in Synagogues and who celebrate Hanukkah that I really hate".

Sorry but that ^ would be totally unexceptable and makes no sense whatsover! So why is it exceptable in respect to homosexuality?

Crazy I know, but true.  Now toss in the Christian Science and they ended up with an agnostic child, go figure.  I'm not even sure if agnostic would be the right description because my main belief is just that I am a part of something much larger than myself.  I cannot put a name or face representation to it as most religions do in regards to their own faith.  I just know that I don't hate people.  I personally may not like how they do some things compared to how I may do them but I don't use that as a way to judge myself being better than them.  We are only human.

Isn't it funny, how some/much heterosexual guys spitting hate onto gay couples, because of their "sexual abormination" love drool watching lesbian porn flicks?

I can happily say I don't watch any porn.  BTW, I know plenty of gay couples that do the same to heterosexuals ....... so I guess it's sauce for the goose.

Mine was a serious question. Sucking a cock isn't natural, but feels great!

Okay, you like it, that's fine.  Does everyone else have to like it because you say it feels great?

Oddly enough, some heterosexuals and some homosexuals like forcing their opinion on others just because they might think theirs are better than yours because "it feels good" to be the way they are.

I'm not telling you not to get blow jobs, if you like them, have at it.  There are probably ton's of fetish's out there that make blow jobs look like a walk in the park.  I don't need to concern myself with people's private business .... it's private for a reason, as is mine.

You guys are still twisted .... LOL

I am not in to incest because it's nasty like anal sex

 Of course, what constitutes "nasty" always varies from person to person.

Maybe dangerous or harmful are more politically correct terms. 

 Dangerous? Harmful? Who have you been dating, sister?

Seriously, that's like saying you don't like pudding, despite never having tried it, because you think it tastes like excrement.

Ridiculous.

From a medical perspective, the anus is a designated exit, not an entrance to a pleasure cave

from a medical perspective the appendix was designated to digest grass...

  And since I am not a sister or gay I fail to see the relevance of your colorful comparison.  If you like it, great .... that's your choice.  It doesn't have to be mine just because you say I need to try it before knocking it.

My, you really are humourless and as bland as a puffed rice cake. I'm not saying you should necessarily try it. But if the people who practice it say it's pleasurable, and you've never done it and you say it's painful... well guess what I think my comparison still stands. Maybe little Billy doesn't like Brussels sprouts, maybe he's allergic to them or something. But if he just goes "eww" and doesn't touch his plate I don't think his judgement should be marked as anything but balderdash.

To each his own is all I'm saying.  I wouldn't try it just because others say it feels good.  If other people enjoy it, that's okay.  Not eating food because one thinks it looks gross and putting ones penis or finger where they know feces exits the human body are far from close comparison.  LOL

I only brought it up because Ric did...and if you put the sex aside like he seemed to, I can't imagine why there would be a problem with any two adults in a romantic relationship.

I support incest in cases where both parties involved are in a mutually consentual relationship and there is no history of coercion or abuse between them.

There, I said it. May the mudslinging/accusations of closeted incestousness begin.

I am not in to incest because it's nasty like anal sex so I don't have anything to contribute to the kind of responses you might be looking for with this statement.

Bad puns and jokes can come off that way to new members.  Borderline spam, huh.  I wonder what over-the-line spam looks like?  Maybe it comes in a torn cardboard box instead of a can .....

 A good rule of thumb is to lurk for a while, and get the feel of a forum. I did that for months before I ever got the nerve to post here.

I was actually being a bit sarcastic when I said it.  Innerweb never translates that well .....
