If Lucas had wanted to keep the surprises of the movies when watched in sequence then Yoda could only be mentioned, not seen, and Anakin turning into Darth Vader couldnt be shown.

I saw ESB in 1980 and the surprises were the highlight of the movie--I expected Yoda to be some austere bearded guy on a throne in the swamp and the Vader revelation was a real shocker.

Anything was possible--Darth Vader could have been around from the start of the movie (wouldnt that have been a surprise?) and Anakin Skywalker fights Vader  before Obi Wan  and Vader gets severely wounded or seemingly killed..and then after Anakin's defeat we see Darth Vader reappear(him having taken the name and persona of the character after the Emperor fixes him up). I hated the Prequels--so any change is ok with me. lol

And I also expected that General Kenobi would have been out of the jedi order and some kind of mercenary wandering Jedi fellow when he encounters Anakin. He did say in SW he didnt go by the name of Obi Wan for a long time...

 

And I expected Luke to be on Dagobah as an infant..

 

 

Yes yes yes yes yes. Love all of this.

An idea I had before seeing Ep. III was that Padme would go into hiding with Leia on Alderaan. Then Padme would be killed unknowingly by Vader in Ep. IV when Alderaan is destroyed. But I guess that would tie in too much with the original films and give more importance and weight to a scene in a movie George doesn't like anymore.

Sure! But as you can see people here want to remove leia's lines from the movie. So if they have a "vision" it will be welcome to any other edit attemts or to be noted as reference idea for those who likes these ideas.

Ah, I'd missed that...

Carry on!

vaderios said:

And all these might work on an other edit.

Ady will not change any of these for any of the reasons you mention.

You can continue the interesting dicussion at ESB and ROTJ wishlist topic.

But, if I understand correctly, there isn't really anything to change. Vader wanted Luke to kill the Emperor so Vader could become the new emperor, Luke would become his new apprentice and they would then "rule the galaxy as father and son". The Emperor wanted Luke to kill Vader and become his new stronger, younger apprentice- "now, fulfill you destiny and take your fathers place at my side". That was all already there.

WOW, this is a blast from the past, I actually ended up doing my own version which I prefer better, as a matter of fact we will be watching this in my house very soon, Halloween approaches.

Mine was called Halloween: A Night of Terror.

Do you have your edit online? I'd love to see it!!

I think everyone should take a deep breath and calm down. So Muddy annoyed someone. Big Deal. He apologized even. It's not like he slashed our collective tires and put gum in our hair.

I was ready for this dumb response and here is the correct reply

IF you dont have the appropriate display device to view these encodes/transfers, then what does it matter to you? You are the same person who cries that the OT isnt on Bluray but yet dont even have a Bluray player or HDTV.....

Edit: Next time, please understand my posts before you respond with a obvious dumb answer. If you have an older TV, then the GOUT is perfectly suited for such

Ha. Calm down guy. I didn't "complain" about anything. My set up is more than capable.

CompMovieGuy said:

With all do respect Chewtobacca, this is 2010
You should as well as most people on this board should have a TV/monitor that will accept/do 1:1 pixel mapping

Yeah Chewtobacca. It's 2010. Poor people don't exist anymore. Shesh. Get with it already.

I said GOOD DAY!

dark_jedi said:

I am sync'ing the original theatrical audio to the Blu-ray, and it will be in DD 2.0 & 5.1, this is my Star Wars break.

It's looking like I might have the 5.1 audio done tonight.

Muuuuusstt.... Haaaaaaaaaavvve.....

Send.... more.... paramedics.

dark_jedi said:

In the meantime I have actually been finishing up the SE V2 set and now my new Return of The Living Dead project LOL.

WOAHwoahwoah!!! What's this about a ROTLD project?!

No, I wouldn't.

Hoth-Nudist said:

Another thing I hate is Luca$ admitting that TPM and AOTC were just "filler" films.

Where can this quote be found? I'm not doubting he said it, and it's obviously true, but I'd like a reference so I can show people.

shanerjedi said:

I dont like the idea of bloody stumps and squirting blood for the Endor battle.

But I do like the idea of ewok ferociousness. Basically like going from Teddy Bear to pissed off Grizzly Bear.

 

 

 

That's what I'm sayin'. No need for arterial spray, just make the ewoks seem like warriors.

TV's Frink said:

Why?  If you don't have him in the movie, why do you need to show him leaving?

Agreed. And having no trace of him makes it seem like more time has passed between then end of Empire and the beginning of Jedi. Fett dropped off the frozen Han, got his money and then went on to the next job.

Darth Lars said:

The cat analogy is a good example!

I would like to see a pack of ewoks tear an Imperial stormtrooper to pieces like a pack of pirhanas. Use their numbers, size, teeth and claws to their advantage in a feral frenzy. Not so cuddly any more. More blood and gore!

Thanks! And I agree with you as well!

I Like the "traps" the ewoks set to destroy some of the walkers (same goes for the trap that captures our heroes). It shows they know how to use the resources that they have and makes them seem like they know what they are doing. But the silly/cutesy stuff makes them seem incompetent. Cut out the silliness, and add fangs to the open mouths and angry emotives to the eyes and presto! The Rebels are helped by competent, capable creatures instead of stupid teddy bears.

captainsolo said:

Why didn't Han come back a little earlier so that numerous Rebels didn't die? Why didn't Wedge or other pilots strafe the TIEs or maybe even come in behind them and box them in?

Because this is Star Wars and there isn't a single battle in the trilogy that makes any sense from a military view point.

Harmy said:

 

I really like the fangs and such on the ewoks. I have no problem with the ewoks looking cute while calm, most creatures do, but when in battle they should be made to look like ferocious creatures who can hold their own. Take my cat for example; when he's happy he's absolutely adorable. When he isn't? Different story...

I thought of this when I was very young, but it's never bothered me. That article jumps to a few conclusions without any proof. Who says Han had a clear shot to take out Vader? I'd say he obviously didn't or he would have done so. Luckily, sneaking up on and shooting the fighter he DID have a clear shot at did the trick.

Jaitea said:

I'm sorry, they look just like woodlice (slaters) to me!

Why are you sorry about that?

Great pics!! I Hope they are helpful!

...you've GOT to be joking...

Just look attentively, I tell you it's a fake.

Of course it's fake!

Sevb32 said:

It's slightly thinner, helps give the speeder the illusion of a little more lft. Never been a big deal to me..

Yeah, I can see it now. Still looks better..

005, great work! I love the comparisons.

And D_J, thanks for all the work you've done. Can't wait to have this set!

Love it. Thanks for sharing.

I like how they managed to erase a big part of the speeder in the process of "improving" this shot. ;) 

I'm not seeing it...
