<strong>The &quot;EditDroid&quot; Trilogy DVD Info and Feedback Thread</strong> (Released)
Time

Thanks for the tip, but I was able to find only covers to the trilogy and the bonus discs, but I had them already ( I completely forgot they're at the discs in the DVD-ROM sections :) ). I am personally searching ONLY for the cover of the mono-mix version. A low-res version can be found in this thread 

 

 

but the link to the high-res version is dead . But thanks anyway

Are you sure you didn't see the Biggs scene in the 1978 documentary?

I don't think so, because in the documentary you hear and see very little of it. My memory includes the entire scene and all of the dialogue.  If it really was never in any theatrical version, I must have seen it in an out-take somewhere else.  But honestly I can't imagine where.

You people won't like what I'm gonna write, but ...

 

The Biggs scene was for me always a part of the movie. And I mean ALWAYS. I had a 100th generation bootleg copy with Polish (?) voiceover, a copy recorded from German TV, and a copy recorded from Czech TV, and I'm 100% sure the scene was in at least one of these copies. (I also remember a short handshaking scene between Luke and Wedge/Johny D / Red 2 after the "that's impossible even for a computer" conversation.)

I never understood why various websites claimed that the Biggs sequence was new in the special edition , I always thought that they only edited it (I remember it being longer). Since I have thrown away my VHS bootlegs after I bought the SE VHS tapes (yes, I was a fool) I couldn't check it, but you can't imagine how shocked I've been after I downloaded the EditDroid bootleg DVDs and noticed that the scene is missing !

And I have NEVER read ANY SW-comics in my whole life, and I have heard the radio drama just once, many years AFTER I have seen the SE

Why we hate the prequels at OT forum.
Time

The Phantom Menace - I remember repeating to my self "What the fuck is this" the whole time I've been in the movie theatre. I couldn't understand what's going on. Simply a lot of things happened and none of them left any emotional impact on me.

In other words, I didn't care about the characters. The only things I DID care about were - how will Amidala look when she gets bigger tits, when will Anakin and Jar Jar die, why does Liam Neeson look like a crappy actor, why is Yoda in the movie ?

I still don't understand that movie. Too many things are happening for no apparent reason. This movie needs a complete re-edit. Add a scene how did the Jedi get to Naboo, drop the Gungan city, add the waterfall sequence, drop the podrace, etc etc etc.

 

Attack Of The Clones - the only movie from the prequels which I REALLY like. It has many illogical parts, many plot holes, and the love story was way too long, but it was a fun action movie just like the original trilogy. I still like it.

 

The third one (I can't remember the title right now) - I would call it "colourful shit". I remember it was "red". The only SW movie I didn't buy on DVD. I remember only how I hated absolutely everything about this movie. Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible editing (where the f* are the rebellion scenes ?), terrible CGI ... and especially terribly written scene where Anakin turns into Darth Vader

A friend of mine is going to let me use his CS4, so I should be able to do some video color correction.  You would even be able to send me the files to work on, I guess...

 I wish the subtitles weren't burnt into the image...

They are player generated on the more recent edition.  Problem solved.  :)

Fantastic!  We just need a couple people fluent in Klingon to record some dialog for us!

I have two right here at my house now...

Two people fluent in Klingon?  That's freaking sweet.

Just freaking :)

Come on guys, I just came back from lunch :-)

We figured anyone who takes a lunch longer than two weeks gives up the right to be ill. ;-)

 I know... and I thought I had good benefits at work.  If he gets a 2 week lunch, how much vacation time does he get?

Not enough to be honest :-)

Well I DO understand what are you guys trying to tell me, I just don't agree :-) I definitely want to watch the stuff in chronological order.

So then, would you prefer that movies with flashbacks be re-arranged into chronological order?  Would that improve, say, "The Sixth Sense" ?  Because that essentially is what a "prequel" is... a flashback on a larger scale.

I WANT to watch it in chronological order, is that really that hard to understand ?

They're prequels, so they have to be watched before the original trilogy.

Hmm, then it seems like you're unaware of what the term "prequel" means.  It's a pre-sequel.  It's a sequel that, chronologically, happens to take place before the movie it is following.  Therefore, like any other sequel, prequels should be watched after the movies that precede it. 

Indeed. Watching the PT before the OT is totally wrong. I don't think there's any need to watch any Star Wars stuff in any special order except the original three films in their original forms. Anything else you care to classify as Star Wars can be watched in any order you like, because none of it matters. Except don't watch the PT before the OT, because that's Lucas's bullshit canon.

 

Well I DO understand what are you guys trying to tell me, I just don't agree :-) I definitely want to watch the stuff in chronological order.

 

Anyway, as I wrote in my original post

What is the correct way how to watch all Star Wars stuff, when I want to include

  • the 6 theatrical movies
  • the Droids animated series
  • the Ewoks animated series
  • the 2 Ewoks movies
  • the Holiday Special (yes, I REALLY want to watch it :-) )
  • the Clone Wars animated series
  • the Clone Wars CG movie
  • the Clone Wars CG TV show

 

so any reply recommending to watch only the original trilogy is absolutely useless, but I hope you guys at least had a fun time :-)
