Good point! Sorry about that!
And Frink, that hasn't happened to me in a long time. Good job.

You want the thread where S_Matt called us all idiots and left the forum.
Jerkwads, Frink. It was jerkwads.
As for the ESB-preference... I dunno. I think the Asteroid Belt sequence is fantastic, though I acknowledge that a lot of that is John Williams.
For Narnia!
Close the blastdoors! Close the blastdoors!
Wait this sort of feels like a diversiiiii...
Nah, I'd rather hear everyone's opinions?

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.
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.

I see that Tolkien and Lucas could shake hands, altering their earlier works to account for inconsistencies with their newer works. Sneaky little hobbitses!!!
This is actually really common practice in the world of books.
Well. Never....mind.
You just keep saying things that I've only ever seen on reddit.com, and it confuses the heck out of me.
Never mind....
TV's Frink said:
tl;dr either way.
;-)
True.
I have long assumed you're a redditor.
Just so you know, Danny, the accepted practice is to switch in and out of quotes
Something someone said
My response.
I never knew Bossk had avid fans!
Try to think about how Vader would have to be holding his sabre for the 2004 version to make sense.
Can someone explain the glow thing? Is it just the missing sabre blade?
Oh, just black shoes. TOMS, if that matters, but they're just black.
As for accuracy, see http://www.rarebricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/lego-jango-fett.jpg for a reference. Both sides of the torso taper the whole way.
Those are pretty great, although I do think the minifig torso is a little more tapered than you're showing it to be.
Also, if you can do one of me... I look like my picture? Light-brown/tan pants, red shirt with the coca-cola logo in Arabic, perhaps?
It's just not sexy enough.

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.
I watched the whole thing and I missed it too - It's kinda subtle... which a good thing, I think.
What seems like the normal fun and silliness to us looks flaming to them. What looks like a really great and serious RP board to them looks pretty silly to us.
We're from different internet-cultures.
To be fair, the anti-GL vitriol around here does get ridiculous. But only sometimes.
As for the RP boards, it's because this site is full of old fogeys, and that collides poorly with innocent youths with fandom aspirations.

And in the past, people used whale-oil lamps. Things change.
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?
