This confuses me. I don't understand why it was necessary for the new wipes to start at a different time if they were using the original negative. Did they just say "eh, close enough"?

I just think they're really boring movies. The only hatred I have towards them is due to the fact that I associate them with the whole OOT vs. SE debacle.

If the SEs didn't exist, I would probably just think of the PT as a bland and inoffensive footnote in SW history- like the Ewok TV movies.

I saw ROTS once theatrically in 2005- that was the last time I've watched any of the Prequels in their entirety.

Whenever one of them airs on TV, I'll watch a minute or two just to torture myself.

I actually watched a few minutes of ROTS on Spike a couple of weeks ago- and I had absolutely no memory of the scene I was watching.

Quite a difference from the days when I would try to catch every HBO airing of SW in 1983, even sneaking downstairs in the middle of the night, careful to avoid the "squeaky step" so that my mom wouldn't hear me. ;-)

I'd heard that Lucasfilm employees weren't paid very well....

I hope they at least get an extra Christmas bonus for this. ;-)

The 70mm of empire and jedi had different takes in the dialog for some scenes.

I have a very unique experience regarding the Star Wars films, and that is this:

The Star Wars Holiday Special was the first Star Wars film I ever saw.

Also, GL adopted 3 children, and MJ adopted 3 children.

(And no, I don't buy the story that MJ's 3 kids were his biologically).
 

 Well at least one of MJ's children has vitiligo, so it's not entirely impossible.

....GL and MJ have a lot more in common than people realize:

Am I the only one who, upon first seeing the title of this thread, immediately thought it was a call to reform regarding the official Star Wars website?

 Funny you mention that.  The first time I came across the thread, I thought the exact same thing.  I thought to myself, "Why does StarWars.com need saving?  Aren't those bastards rich enough?"  Then of course I read the thread and had a "d'oh!" moment.

If it's sourced from the GOUT then how can you know? The whole question was whether the GOUT itself was missing something.

Tobar said:
Going back to the Han/Greedo scene. I was looking at the two on youtube and the gout is missing that shot but it's there for the SE. So did the SE add a shot (where they make Han dodge Greedo's blast) or is the gout missing something?

I don't like the ropes, either. They're even less plausible than Han hanging by his toes (they had time to tie ROPES around his feet?)

Ha- I knew that it had to be Red Velvet cake before I even clicked on the link. Very popular in the Southeast.

I see your "Luke & Leia" and raise you "The Dark Side Beckons" (begins when Luke is hiding from Vader toward the end).  Phenomenal.

I'd say ROTJ is a veeery close second to ESB for the best score of the originals.  That's one area in which it certainly isn't lacking.

There are people on here who love TPM because they are young enough to be nostalgic for it.

The same goes with ROTJ.

But if you brake the film down, look at the art design, the writing the acting, the attention to detail, even the score, ROTJ is the weakest film of the OT and set the scene for almost everything wrong with the PT.

I was not let down in the least.

I was 12 when it came out and I saw it on opening day, and 2 or 3 more times that spring/summer.

Even with all the anticipation and hype, I loved it and thought it was a worthy conclusion to the trilogy.

In your experienced opinion(s) of what is available at this moment, which release is the very best in picture and sound quality?

Your name rang a bell but I couldn't remember why.  A simple forum search reminded me - you like to complain a lot.

It not only looks like Mark Hamill's face- but it looks like his hands as well.

I don't know how HK can say that was "not Mark", especially since Mark says he now remembers shooting the scene.....

It's like a car crash with 10 witnesses, and 10 different reports of the accident.

I think he just likes wearing the costume, when he's home.....

.....alone,

.....without the codpiece.

;-)

Wow, that was random! :-P

If you decide to do this, be prepared for a backlash from diehard George Lucas fans, and by that I mean those who love all the 2004 Special Edition changes, believe that Lucas really did have a vision in mind all along and basically can do no wrong.

I'm not aware of any boycotting laws in the U.S., but I've already vowed to boycott the set, and I will not waver!

If the set includes any must-see deleted scenes from the OT, then maybe I'll rent, but that's as far as I'll go for Darth Lucas this time.

I'm always seeing familiar-looking people when I watch British TV shows and movies (mostly on PBS), and after a while it dawns on me that they were baddies in one of the SW films.

I wish he'd given up after 1983. No way would I sacrifice ESB and ROTJ (or Raiders).
