I'm going to send him an email and explain to him exactly how UNdemanding we really are. ALL we want is for three of the the greatest, most influential films ever made to be released (in their original forms) and given the same DVD treatment that any Pauly Shore movie has.


Looking back over that site I didn't see an email address. I guess he doesn't want anyone telling him what he can shove into what place.

Ah jeez, if Luca$ completely erased the Star Wars movies and replaced them with a still of a pile of dog shit people like Whiner would be trying to cover his ass on that one too.

"Ah, well, you see, First there was the poop, then the poop evolved, until what we had was the Star Wars universe, everything exploded and became poop again. Thus sayeth Master Lucas."

I got close to the source at Celebration 3 though....was going to confront Lucas face to face in the Q&A they had there, but they closed it down when I was only two people away.....AND......they were screening questions.

Besides....like we're going to get a straight answer out of anyone at LFL or Lucas himself.......


Oh, they were "screening questions" huh? Don't worry about it my friend, with the question you were going to ask you never had a chance.

Where in this statement is it implied that you know Greedo never fired a shot, let alone that you know a damn thing about what you're talking about?

You know, Greedo's always been one of my favorite Star Wars characters, but ever since the special editions everyone's been whining about him shooting first and missing, and now he's changed into a one-dimensional character who misses all the time just because you people can't accept the fact your precious Star Wars movies were changed.


If you want people to take you seriously and understand what you're saying then you should learn how to talk. Taking your tongue out of Lucas' rectum may assist you in achieving that goal.

You do know that Greedo never shot at all don't you? Or did you never see the original trilogy?

I bet you're a young kid who thinks star wars came out in 1997.

This stuff doesn't bother me. There is always going to be someone who looks at us as worrying about this stuff too much. I love the OT movies, and I do what I can to get the movies put out in the right way they should be, but that is all we can do. Don't get mad if someone jokes about us needing to 'get a life', cause it is a hobby to all of us who enjoy it, nothing more nothing less. The difference is our hobby's creator has totally dissed us so we have to be a bit more vocal about things. People have always looked upon SW fans as goofy or weird in one way or another, even in the OT glory days, but I have never let that ruin my enjoyment that I feel they are missing out.

What I am trying to say is that I am trying to not get furious anymore of this stuff, and just do what we can, and so be it. Lucas is a jerk, and the O-OT set in September is what it is. I will keep fighting and won't give up, but I am done being bitter, cause Lucas has already lost a lifelong fan. Just read my sig.


It doesn't make me furious or anything. It's just that a lot of people are expecting the general press to be in an uproar when these low-quality discs come out. I mean, sure, it's just one article, but I thought it'd be interesting to point out the kind of information that some people will be getting.


I wouldn't consider this guy the general press, more like a soap box writer who'd be better off working on the Jerry Springer Show.

GEORGE LUCAS KILLED BY CRAZED FAN

George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars universe, was killed sometime between 12 and 3 last night. His body was found in a trash dumpster behind the offices of Lucas Film Limited. He suffered several lacerations on his face, and his body was covered in bruises. An autopsy has yet to determine the exact cause of death. Jay Sylvester, webmaster of a popular Star Wars forum, was arrested several hours later in connection to Lucas' murder......



My God! This is shocking!!!

The "original crawl" on the new DVD is NOT the original crawl! Screenshot inside!

This is what I've been fearing ever since it was first announced. That they were simply going to paint away the "Episode IV: A New Hope." And sure enough, every worst case scenario comes to fruition. Okay, so I'm definitely not buying these releases. If the picture quality had been shown to be halfway decent, I probably would have bought it. Had it just been them relegating it to the second disc as bonus material, I most likely would have bought it.

But this, this is the one thing I absolutely refuse to tolerate. In their initial press release, that was one of the things they originally touted. I knew there was a reason to get suspicious when that paragraph mysteriously disappeared for a few hours. This is just flat-out lying. This isn't even lying due to minds changing or business practices changing. And I refuse to cater or give my money to a company that is clearly lying. Obviously the footage exists! It was on Empire of Dreams for crying out loud! Wouldn't it have been easier to splice the original crawl in rather than paint out the "most offensive" element?

I'm sure most people won't be able to tell the difference. And I'm sure George and his Merry Men will be snickering about it. "Coming soon! The original theatrical cuts! Or close enough that you George vision-haters won't be able to tell the difference! Nyah-nyah!" Well, suck on this, George. You are not getting another red cent from me until you actually start producing quality products and stop lying about the less-than-quality ones you are releasing.


Ah, but then everybody would notice how superior the picture quality of the crawl is in contrast to the rest of the film. Luca$ being met with a barrage of complaints, would then have no choice but to restore the rest of the footage, and we all know he doesn't want to do that.
