George supposedly crunched the numbers on what it would cost to restore both versions when he was preparing for the DVDs, but Fox pushed him hard enough that he decided to rush out a cheap transfer of only the SEs (hence the Lowry project). That’s coming from the Steve Hoffman Forums guy that worked on it. That may just be his way of explaining why the work was so subpar, but sounds legitimate since George was so adamant about waiting until 2006 to release Star Wars on DVD at all.

Actually the Original Trilogy was released on DVD in 2004. Which I have to say is the first time I had watched the Original Trilogy since VHS/TV in the 80’s. I remember being shocked when Luke said “Clone Wars”.

I hate it. It’s technically a better movie than The Force Awakens. But I think this new Disney Star Wars is ruining the Original Trilogy for me. I’m getting sick of Star Wars.

The prequels are terrible movies. And I even knew that back at the time even though most people seemed to love them at the time. But the terrible prequels never RUINED the Original Trilogy for me.

But I hate these new Disney Star Wars movies that they are actually ruining the Original Trilogy. I just don’t even really feel like watching the Original Trilogy anymore.

I hated The Force Awakens, and was really hoping they’d redeem themselves with The Last Jedi to kind of make up for it. But no, they’ve ruined the Luke Skywalker character and turned his Lightsaber into a joke prop.

I’m just really disgusted. I really wish Lucas had just stayed on and overseen the new trilogy like he did with Empire and Jedi.

I didn’t like they were bringing back the original characters, but changed my mind expecting to get some bad ass Luke Skywalker Lightsaber battles, etc. But no, we didn’t get any of that. Just Luke acting like a joke tossing his Lightsaber into the trash and drinking the milk he squirted out of a tit and went fishing.

I think I’m just not caring about Star Wars anymore. i.e. not worth the effort anymore.

I hated The Force Awakens. It was not just a terrible Star Wars movie. But also a terribly put together movie in general, i.e. story not making sense, editing and directing. But really hated the story. I’ve watched The Force awakens like 4 times, and I cringe the whole time. It actually makes me a little sick to watch it.

The Last Jedi I think it “technically” a better movie than The Force Awakens. But is a terrible Star Wars movie. I hate the story and now I know when Mark Hamill said he didn’t like what direction they took Luke Skywalker in.

They tried making Luke into a Yoda character who goofed around. But it was just terrible.

The worst thing is I love the original Luke Lightsaber. And in The Last Jedi, Luke just tosses it away like he’s in an SNL skit. They didn’t just ruin Luke’s character, but now when watching the Original Trilogy, I’ll never get out of my head of Luke just tossing that Lightsaber like in the trash.

I surprised how they apparently killed Snoke. I was thinking he’d be like the Emperor in VI and copy the themes in VI for Episode IX.
