Well on my new system 1 channel mono comes out just the center speaker

This is unfortunate

just like it is supposed to

Not necessarily. But obviously, given that this is the case, it makes 100% sense for you not like the mono-mix.

 

Also, you may want to use periods sometimes. I am really not sure what some of that post meant.

I see your point none but if we start demanding the "original" version of the end credits, while the other one was also made in 77 and is pretty much the same and definitely doesn't effectively change the film in any way, we would be totally playing into the cards of those who claim we are lunatics.

I actually believe that if there were two different versions during the original theatrical run, the most true original is the one that was most widely seen.

I agree with both points wholeheartedly. It's a thing to note, but not care about in terms of that hypothetical future release.

Complete Comparison of Special Edition Visual Changes
Time

To be fair, I'm not sure there's ever been a community so focused on the differences as to bother with the credits. Not that the credits aren't a part of the film, but they are the part people find the least interesting/important. So I'm not surprised no one's documented this before...

but I'm glad it's happened.

What would I have done to Jedi?

 

Nothing.

 

It is fine as is.

Agreed. This thread is unworthy of OOT fans.

Indeed!

I find it hypocritical that fans here curse Lucas for changing the OT,yet have no problems with introducing hypothetical changes of their own!

A lot of people here aren't so much upset with the changes existing as they are with the changes being the only version available.

Spielberg comments on digital alterations to his films

I'd say it's a mix. I'd say the one that really got me was when the lady walks into the bus-stop panel. I would have never guessed that it was entirely greenscreen.

This quote is undeniably true

theprequelsrule said:

acting without any sort of frame of reference (i.e. against a blank green screen instead of on an actual set) does not encourage good performances by your actors. As CGI gets cheaper we can expect less and less use of actual sets.

but I wonder if actors aren't getting better and better at it? Or directors?
