Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)
Time

No, of course not.  It is maddening nonetheless, that's all.  :)

Here is an article by Mark Picirilli that incorrectly tries to tie Kershner, his death, and the Blu-rays together, as well as my response.  These guys need to be responsible for their mistakes.

The below statement prompted me to email him:

"Kershner, who died on Nov. 27, 2010 at the age of 87 at his home in Los Angeles after a three and a half year battle with lung cancer, surely would have loved seeing his vision come into homes as it was intended to be seen."

My email:

Mark,

The above statement is untrue.

The version that is coming to Blu-ray is unfortunately the 2004 DVD cut, NOT the original 1980, award-winning, Kershner-helmed version.  He questioned the additions and did not think they were necessary, as so many of us also believe.  We are facing a serious crisis in film history at the hands of George Lucas.  Since 1997, he has been oppressing, removing, and destroying prints of the original 1977, 1980, and 1983 versions of the Star Wars Trilogy.

We can really use the help of journalists such as yourself.  If anything, we need the CORRECT version of events to be told and spread.  There are so many people that still to this day DO NOT know what has happened and consider the 1997 and 2004 versions to be the originals.  Even documentaries and books about the originals mistakenly use images from 1997 and 2004 versions.

I urge you to take a look at these sites to show the truth and the real history of these beloved films:

For your consideration.

That Palpatine voice was really good.  Is Adywan still working on ESB?  He could get that guy to deliver Palpatine's pre-DVD lines in the Ian McDiarmid voice and dub them over the pre-DVD "monkey-eyes" Emperor.

 I like your thinking.  Anything to do away with the original voice in a convincing manner.  I don't want that scene to be one that I skip over when TESB:R comes out.

ATTENTION: Dayv needs our help
Time

You know what, Gaffer?

You are absolutely RIGHT.

I have been in a few life-changing situations to say the least, and one of the WORST things to ever happen to me was being accused of something I did not do, and being treated like a criminal before anything could be done or proven otherwise.

I did donate and Dayv refunded me.

That said, Dayv, and everyone involved in this, I apologize.  It needs to be left up to the powers-that-be.  Chiming in with negative comments does NOTHING for anyone.

Thanks for the enlightenment, Gaffer.
