I disagree. Personally Lucas is not going to release the originals. I don't believe he will change his mind no matter what we do. So you might as well bootleg. It will give you your precious originals with picture quality much better then the VHS and many in anamorphic video. I agree with Jay that we shouldn't rip the 2004 edition. Personally I am buying the new DVDs and I can wait the month.

I think jimbo adds something this forum desperately needs: a strong pro-SE sentiment. It helps maintain a certain balance.

I obviously don't have the time to watch every thread unfold. I certainly didn't expect gay bashing to occur in a thread about a Mark Hamill interview.

Such behavior will not be tolerated here.

jimbo, your contributions regarding Star Wars are welcome. Your bigotry is not.

Consider this your final warning. Unlike your previous temporary "vacation" from the boards, this time will be permanent.


Sorry that is what I believe. It did all start with Hotrod and Luke making sick comments that I found offensive. I only tryed to explain why I found them offensive. Which lead to a chain of reaction with negative consequences.

It works better to watch them by release since that keeps most of the surprises and drama structure. But I seriously doubt many viewers in the future will figure that out.

The saga is meant to be watched in order. Personally when Revenge of the Sith is released on DVD I can't wait to have a marathon and watch all 6 movies and the Clone Wars cartoons in there story order.

Rebalscum how many times do I have to tell people not to diss Natalie Portman. She is beautiful and brilliant. Theres plenty unexpected. When we first meet Anakin he is as innocent as can be. If you never saw the original trilogy you could never guess that he could grow up to be so evil. No doubt the prequal trilogy removes some of the original trilogys surprises when watched all at once. Still it gives the saga a complete storyline. Just as watching the originals first removes most of the prequals surprises. If you watch all six movies in a row it will have its surprises.

What? How could he not know who the Princess was all of a sudden? Could he not see the hologram that well? Were his restraining bolts too tight? This freaked me out.


Its possible that he knew there was a princess on board but he didn't know what she looked like.

jimbo, Rebelscum: Heh, I never really pondered over this before, but your discussion kinda made me to. I can't remember were I read/heard it, but George Lucas himself once said that he wants people to think of his six StarWars films as one big film.

But I think you two are absolutely right. I am really a fans of the prequels as well, but when it comes down to it, they are really not designed to be watched before the classic trilogy, for they reveal so many informations that shouldn't be available for first time classic trilogy watchers (I'm thinking follow up generations here). So I think you two are right that they really don't work as 'one big film' when watched in the correct chronological order of story events.

Jimbo, you have to think about it from the point-of-view of people watching the movies for the first time and how the story works out then. If there are too many spoilers in there, all those great moments us StarWars veterans had during scenes like Vader revealing him being Luke's father will be ruined for them - now with the '2oo4 Editions' they won't even be able to avoid those spoilers by watching the classic trilogy first.

Much of the new stuff seems to be tailored for viewers who already have seen the classics a dozen times.


Technically he says "I know he is the spawn of Anakin Skywalker" technically if you have never seen Revenge of the Sith or any part of modern pop culture you won't know Vader and Anakin Skywalker are the same person.

(shamelessly asks for a free copy since father won't allow me to purchase bootleg Star Wars DVDs although they are rare exceptions)


Editing a movie for yourself is alright. Editing a movie and distributing it is stealing.

That surprise is going to be gone after watching Revenge of the Sith anyway. Who cares if it reveals this again in The Empire Strikes Back. While I don't like the censoring of the blaster hits those are so small and unnoticable I would consider editing them back in a waste of time. Wait a minute Episode 3 gives an explaination for the Hayden head. If Revenge of the Sith does say something that makes the Hayden head thing make sense then I might change my mind about this change.

Rebal Scum if you complain about the animation in the Jabba scene don't worry it has been fixed and looks much much better. Also this is the scene how it was originally scripted and planned so it belongs in the movie. Also about the Greedo scene it has been fixed to look much better. The scene is just as good as it was originally technologically but it was still better for Han to shoot first. Also I like the new Emperor change. Id rather have him be the Ian Mckain then an old women with Chimpanze eyes. It ensures better continuality with Return of the Jedi and the Prequals. Ian Mckain also has a cooler voice then Clive Revel did. The new dialog also enhances the scene. I love the new cloud city. I don't know why I ever liked Cloud city before. Its just better now. Totally agree with you on the Hayden head change.
