I would want a Original Theatrical Edition as each film was released in '77,'80 and '83(with no episode 4 in front of SW for example) as a piece of history. They should be warts and all. All that should be done is a restoration of the original work with no changes.

Then you can have all the funky special editions, enhanced editions, ultimate editions, archival editions and definitive editions.

My Wish List:

Films:

Completely restored theatrical version w/ NO effects touchups(I want that blob under the speeder) For historical purposes.

Fabled Rough Cut version

Lucas' Archival Edition

Enhanced version: w mattes fixed and little touchups and tweaks.

No FX version: sans all opticals w/ branching between the other versions (cept rough cut) to get idea of work involved to complete the film.

Fan Cut Version: able to pull from different versions of the film, including deleted scenes, to create your own cut of the film. With space available on DVD for this....but need PC to do it. Each disc would be imprinted so each disc could not burn a fan cut.

Deleted Scenes

Isolated Score w/ John Williams commentary

Isolated Sound Effects track w/ Ben Burtt commentary

Commentaries:

1: Lucas and Kurtz.......together at last.

2: McCallum and Lucas....on Archival cut

3: Lucas and editors on rough cut

4: Joe Johnston, Dennis Muren, Dykstra, Edlund, McQuarrie, effects track

5: Harrison Ford, Fisher, and Hamill.

6: Behind the Masks track: Daniels, Baker, Mayhew, Prowse, some of the Cantina creators who also performed as the Cantina band: Rob Bottin, Doug Beswick, Tippett, Rick Baker(!!!!) and Tom St. Amand....maybe some of the little folks who played Jawas.

Various versions of the screenplay

McQuarrie art gallery

Storyboards w/ branching to film versions.

ILM's work featurette

Sound of SW featurette

Marketing SW featurette

Various documentaries

New featurettes.....show impact of film on industry, the phenomenon, on filmmakers, etc.

Stills gallery....chock full.....basically every picture(lol)

Trailers, TV spots, posters, etc.

No jimbo is right. Episode 3 Anakin is an innocent little kid. Forget that he sliced and diced a bunch of geonosians and slaughtered women and children tuskens. He's not evil......he's just misunderstood.

What a shit*y change.

If lucas wants to get that idea across, why not just put pre-tusken slaughter Annie in there? Or Jake Lloyd?

Lucas is just cramming these films with changes for the sake of now.....and claiming some higher purpose for them. How disingenuous.

I think Lucas is making this all up as he goes along...
why do we have so many pointless characters...
they could have used major characters in these scenes to help further develop them...

and who the hell is Si Bibble?
LOL


I agree. AOTC made that clearer to me than anything. And Episode 3 isn't changing the "superfluous characters" quotient.

Luke, those are actual lines from the film! LOL!

The PT condescends to kids where the OT talks up to them.

I've always thought Panaka and Olie should've been the same character.

Idea: Preserving the 1997 Special Editions of the Star Wars Original Trilogy on DVD-R

My first Star Wars on video came on BETA and was recorded off of an HBO presentation of the film in, I think, 1980. May have been the first cable broadcast of the film, not sure.

Then I bought the ESB and ROTJ from CBS-FOX VHS in the mid-'80's. Then came the '90's P&S, the '95 THX set, and then the '97 SEs.

I also have the '92 Definitive LD Boxed Collection.

MORE CHANGES!!! (for the 2004 OT DVD release)

Galahad, hey we all have our own childhood memories. I'm sure you look back on your SW memories as well as I do.

Bossk, I know about the Jawas. lol. Mine all ended up capeless too.

The only OT-era carded figure I have is a POTF Vader.

I have all the original '95 line carded.

You wouldn't have a problem mixing OT-era weapons with the new ones though. Every figure in the new line has a blaster and a bazooka. They sorta went overboard in the weapons department IMHO.

Are all of them carded?

I think at one time I actually had a vinyl-cape Jawa....either that or I'm just attaching my recollections of OB1's to the Jawas.

The missed opportunities I had to buy a ton of those figures carded......4 for $1.00 at Grand Central in 1979! I still remember that and only bought a couple......played with them until their arms went wobbly.

Boba Fett was added into the film by ILM for the SE. He was played by former ILMer Mark Austin.

They shot him against bluescreen and then composited him into the scene.

Fett's first appearance was for the Holiday Special. He was also offered as a special order figure by Kenner around the same time. It first came with a firing missile from his jetpack, but when a few kids were hurt by firing missiles from Battlestar Galactica toys, Kenner stopped production of the Fett firing missile figure. It was never available to the public.
