Finally ordered Blu Rays of original series
Time

Yes, it’s just the OT. It won’t have any special features, I can live without it. Can someone point me out to a site that shows what they added to the Blu Ray masters of the OT? Besides vader saying no a few times before lifting up the emperor.

Edit: I don’t know if this is complete but wikipedia has a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_changes_in_Star_Wars_re-releases

Wow, George Lucas has even been altering the prequels. I knew he made changes here and there such as Darth Maul getting cut in half but there were alot more changes than I knew of.

I probably waited too long cause I don’t believe it has any special features besides commentary. I would have liked that and also the original versions. I bought those dvd’s years ago but I no longer have my collection from then. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the movies again. Now I don’t have to wait for someone to buy the tv rights for them in the US or for them to come on Netflix. I never seen the Blu-Ray versions of the movies. Looking forward to the terrible extra no’s in ROTJ.

SW Tech: Why is Darth Vader scarred?

I think one of the old-EU explanations was that the Emperor purposely didn’t allow Vader to be fully healed so that he would always carry the pain and scars of his failure in order to better keep him under his heel.

I could see that. He’s completely servile to the Emperor in the originals. However, it really takes away from the character if he has the ability to regain his old appearance, but his boss is like, “No, pretty much destroyed the Jedi, ensured my domination of the galaxy, but you failed to kill Obi-Wan. I’m withholding plastic surgery from you.” I’d like to think the reason he holds a grudge towards Obi-Wan, is because he suffered irreparable damage from him, turning him into a monster. Even if his wife had still been alive, he’s disfigured and trapped in a walking respiratory device.

So if that whole suit is a respitory device, why is it so big? Remember in the prequels they stick something the size3 of a pencil in their mouths and they are able to breathe underwater. Did they cheap out and buy Darth a old one or something?

How can Traitors Glass weapon stand up to a light saber?
Time

I been wonder how TR-8R’s glass electric weapon on his gun can hold off a light saber. I thought Light Sabre’s cut through anything but other light sabre’s. I’m pretty sure they used themt o cut through metal doors and stuff in the prequels and those robots were sliced apart in one swing. So how does TR’s glass weapon thing not get sliced in half when thier weapons meet?

George Lucas discusses letting go of Star Wars

If only this interview was from the early-to-mid '90s. That way we could have been spared the SEs and gotten a PT & ST which were faithful to the EU (which was still pretty decent at the time, KJA aside).

I kinda doubt if Disney bought LucasArts then that the prequels would have been made. Not enough demand for them and people wanted the sequel trilogy all along. Of course there would be no JJ Abrahms at that time so who knows if the sequel trilogy would have been any good.

Which is considered canon, the Special Edition or GOUT?

The OOT ending of ROTJ didn't make sense anyway. Why was anakin suddenly a normal guy instead of bald and pasty white? I don't mind most of the retcons of the Special Editions so I hope they follow that.

 By your reckoning then, why wasn't Obi-Wan just half a person?

 That was a deleted scene where obiwan was cut in half. Officially obiwan turned into a force ghost before the light sabre hit him.

It's prettty stupid, he saved him so he's at the point before he became evil right? That's why he gots normal color for his skin and normal body parts? But for some reason he's aged. Did Luke somehow create an alternate timeline or something?

Perhaps it'll be established that the OOT will be the prequel to VII and the EU will be the sequel to the special edition.
