I never thought of it that way. You just brought my happiness level up. I guess there may still be hope.

Who else had a part of their souls die when they saw this? I mean, c'mon, where's remastered original versions, to say nothing about Blu-Rays.

Despite the coolness of the box, I'm not getting this sad set. Heck, I ain't getting anymore Star Wars DVDs until the originals are made to look their finest.

Star Trek Remastered never affected the plot, only enhanced it.  They tried to fix mistakes and redo the space effects, not make the Gorn shoot first.  Sure, some of the motion is pretty bad, but overall I think STR worked out rather well.

 This is probably going to get me killed, but did Star Wars SE really change the story that much? I always thought that the stories were the same, it was just some of the effects.

The change that irks me the most is the change from a classic: (from Empire)

Luke: (after R2 got spat out by Dagobah monster) You're lucky you don't taste too good.

to the standard and less fun:

Luke: (after R2 got spat out by Dagobah monster) You're lucky you got out of there.

That irked me more than Jabba in ANH or Greedo getting the first shot.

That's not a Special Edition change, though. Both of those versions existed pre-SE.

 I still didn't like it. It was listed on a comparison site, so I thought it was a SE change. Still my least favorite.

Schneblin (CA USA) - See all my reviews    INTERIOR: REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER -- CORRIDOR The angry Darth Vader stands amid the broken and twisted DVDs of 2004 versions of Star Wars. IMPERIAL OFFICER: The new version is only a poor copy of the laserdisk, and it's only provided as a special feature. Vader squeezes the neck of George Lucas, who struggles in vain. VADER: Where is the original film? What have you done with the 1977 theatrical release? Vader lifts General Lucas off his feet by his throat. VADER: What have you done with the anamorphic widescreen? LUCAS: The original negative is in too bad a shape to make a better copy. VADER: If the original is in such bad condition, how did you make the 2004 edit version? The Dark Lord begins to squeeze the producer's throat, creating a gruesome snapping and choking, until Lucas goes limp. VADER: Commander, tear LucasFilm apart until we have a true version, and make sure it has the original 5.1 SOUND!!

I laughed when I first read this (I don't mean to offend George Lucas) and I knew you guys would appreciate. I bet one of you guys wrote it. :)

With all this talk about the remastered Star Wars, I haven't seen anything about the opinions about new CG shots for E.T. and all the new CG shots for the original Star Trek and some shots for the first Star Trek movie.

E.T. was well done, althought I could tell which shots had and CG E.T. head and which kept the original. At least the original was availiable with the SE for a while.

I never saw the first Star Trek movie until the SE came on DVD so I can't comment on it. The SE of the original series was pretty good. Some shots were less than stellar, but the original Star Trek was never ILM material (pun intended).

What are your thoughts about the E.T. Special Edition and the Star Trek Special Edition (both series and 1st movie)?

The change that irks me the most is the change from a classic: (from Empire)

Luke: (after R2 got spat out by Dagobah monster) You're lucky you don't taste too good.

or even like this...

with all the different versions, so if someone doesn't like the changes the director made, they still have the original on another disc? The special part is that Ridley Scott didn't like the original version, yet he's still putting out with his Director's Cut. George Lucas, if you're reading this, I know you prefer your new versions, but please, put out the originals like how Ridley Scott did this release of Blade Runner.

Who else would die if Star Wars was released like this?
