The point is WHY he did it.

I mean if it's a few frames why did he alter it in the first place? Answer me that.


Same reason they did the same thing in Who Frammed Roger Rabbit. No good reason. Its stupid and wrong but if its not detectable its not worth caring about.

"The digital version of the film is on this DVD, but there are also some additional, minor changes. You're going to have to figure those out for yourself"

That proves me right. Its called reading. Its a nice thing to do. The digital cinema version included sparks out of Jangos jet pack and a scene of Padme grabing Anakins hand which were not in the film version. The added line "To be angry is to be human was not in the digital cinema movie"

Those are only a few frames. Be honest if you don't watch it frame by frame would you even notice. Plus Bobas voice hasn't been confirmed yet. Theforce.net admits there not sure. I honestly loved Bobas old voice and would not want them to fuck with it. Also I like the celebration sequence. Also the dance sequence was originally intended. It was attempted. Yeah it sucks but its nothing compared to several garbage that was always in Return of the Jedi. Ewoks beating clones.

Originals not lost

1. People who prefer the originals are prequel haters. Those who prefer the Special Editions are prequel likers.

2. Fans of the original trilogy have done nothing but bitch at Lucas and then ask Lucas to repect them. Its absolutly sick. After how wonderful Attack of the Clones was I can understand Lucas's frustration. There is simply no pleasing these people.

3. Releasing the originals in the same pack would result in either higher price, less extras, or both.

4. The original versions are work prints in manys mind. Why not release ten versions to show how the movies evolved. Or just show the final version.

Those are the arguements

He was always planning to release the movies on DVD. Making him release something earlier is completly different then making him change his mind on releasing something at all. There is a chance but like the bits says it will be on his own terms. No fans will ever convince him to change his mind. Personally I highly doubt he will ever release the originals but I will egknowledge the possibility. Don't hold your breath though.

Can you possible hear the line "Jabba this is your last chance. Free us or die." and not get a smile on your face.


The free us or die part is one of my favorite parts of the movie but its to flawed to be fun. Seeing Yoda fight was fun as hell. More fun then anything before.

You assume that all Star Wars fans support this effort. I assume a large percentage support the effort. I have one of those signatures. But you must be realistic.

so i guess its not too much to get excited about...


Now what is it. Now that the Jabba animation and Han and Greedo have been fixed what about the 1997 Special Editions is there to complain about. The only thing left is the new Hayden head. I am finally on the same bout when you guys. I hate that change to death.

Read it again it clearly says "Tell you what... if this pans out, I don't mind either of these changes. Better still, I'd eat a whole freakin' herd of Bantha if Lucas would just restore the Han/Greedo scene in A New Hope so that Han shoots first again. Anyone care to join me? Cross your fingers, folks... and fire up the barbecue pit"

It never says Lucas has restored the scene. Also Lucas has at least modified the scene to not look so technologically bad.

What has been referred to in the past as the 'ultimate editions' has centered either around that rather long and superfluous fan-boy wish list that circulated last year or the actual official release planned for later this year. What you are thinking the 'ultimate editions' will be is nothing more than a fan-boy rumor that is being perpetuated by ignorant fans like yourself who believe anything they hear.

BTW, since you put so much stock in what the digital bits say, they have also reported that the Han/Greedo scene would be restored to its original glory. And we all know that's won't happen.


Actually the bits pleaded for Lucas to restor Han and Greedo scene. They never actually reported he would. That was just a request. Also such editions have been reported for a long time. Just about every Star Wars source has pretty much made it sure that new versions are coming. Heres your link

First example of lightsabers could be the result of remastering but the second example is far too different. It is definutly a fix. The hallway is also definutly changed. Making the death star bigger and therefore improving the shot. The death star explosion looks like the only difference is better remastering for the DVD and no other change. I wish the french trailer included shots of the new Jabba animation the bits promised but I guess we will have to wait for that. Yes the lack of fixing on the blending is disipointing. I still have hope for the Racor.

The Attack of the Clones DVD also contains a change. It addes a line "To be angry is to be human" and then "I am a jedi I know Im better then this" This line was not in any theatrical print. In my opinion it improved the scene. Like most of Lucases changes.


I am new to these boards, but I thought I would like to point out one thing about The Attack of the Clones dvd.
These lines were in the Theatrical version shown in cinemas which had digital projectors. The version available on dvd is one of the versions shown in cinemas so it was taken from a theatrical cut and was not just added for dvd.


Not true. That line was in no theatrical print of any kind.

The original ewoks song sucked. I am glad its gone. Not that the new one is much better. I also really hope that Lucas fixes the Racor lines. It makes no sense that he left those in tact. That would have been one of the first changes I would have made. No word on whether this has been fixed but it is a definute possibility. There are rumors that it has. In my opinion the biggest problem with the Special Editions is what they didn't change.
