I know I'm not as well versed in episodes 1 - 3 as you gomer but I don't recall ever seeing this in the films. I know Nick Gillard explained in the docos that each actor had a different style but this was never shown in the movies as applied to the Jedi for the general public to see.

You're quite right, but that's like a child saying "I hit him because he hit me". Two wrongs don't make a right.

I thought you might want to be the better man in all this. The arguments keep going round and round with no resolution. Everything is becoming PT vs OT.

Besides I think it's safe to say that you are a lone voice. Your argument is becoming a little stale because it's the only one from your side of the fence. The opposing argument is a little different as it's coming from a few rather than just one.

I'm not saying give up, maybe just change the repetitious approach.

I don't think Lucas is actually meaning to deny that he -ever- thought about doing more than 6 films, I think it's just the story he was originally planning to take 9 films, ended up taking 6. So anything he came up for beyond episode 6 while the plan was 9 films got rolled into the 6th chapter, hence now that the sith is destroyed, Lucas hasn't come up with what would happen next.

In that 1999 Vanity fair article, he actually says the plan is no longer 9 but 6, which means at least at that point he was being up front about it.

I think when he says he never came up with anything for a third trilogy, he just means he never came up with a storyline to follow ROTJ.


Aren't you sick of posting these same few sentences ad nauseam?

I know I'm tired of reading them.

Whether you're right or wrong, though being just an opinion it's neither right or wrong, don't you think by now the people you are arguing the same point over and over with aren't buying it. If you fell it necessary to continually state your case, may I suggest you take a fresh approach because posting the same thing doesn't seem to be working.

That's reading into a 9 word sentence a little much don't you think?

How am I supposed to know what someone is really thinking if that's not what they are really conveying? I don't read minds, nor do I pretend to.

And what motivations does he have to lie? Well how about to end 20 - 30 years of speculation that was started by a young him.

People lie we can get over it. But people here are just a little frustrated that instead of just telling the truth like "You know what I've spent enough of my adult life on SW, I wanted to make 9 or 12 movies but now I'm over it, I've got nothing left to say" he has to lie and insult the intelligence of fans out there who very much remember what he has said in the past and even have the written proof.

I've read through all 30 pages of this thread over the past few days and I'd like to say good work Darth Editous.

I've found so many references to a Darth Editious out there in torrent land. Strange

I'd be interested in checking out the torrented xvid version, if anyone can help me out my PM's are on.

ORIGINAL STAR WARS TRILOGY OUT 09/2006 BY LUCASFILM

First time poster. Long time lurker, a real big fan of the work down here.

I'm really excited by this news. It really came as a suprise.

A question for you guys.

Just how faithful to the original theatrical prints do you guys want to see these releases?

Would it be ok if fx were changed/ and or cleaned up like for the SE and 2004 releases? Eg Matte lines/boxes digitally removed, fixed snow battle and Rancor scene, Vasoline smudge from under the Landspeeder removed etc.

Or do you want to see it in all it's original glory?

I'm all for a digitally cleaned print with the above "improvements" made. Am I crazy/wrong?

I'd prefer it if the left the lightsaber blades unfixed. We all know how wrong they got it on the 2004 dvd's. Are the people here who want to see them redone?

I'd like to hear your opinions on this now that we know we're offically getting an O-OT release on dvd.

Edit: I'd just like to add that if the new transfers are subpar then yeah we will always have OCP's hardwork to enjoy. Thanks Man!
