Star Wars DVDS

[Bill Lumbergh]

My better half picked these up for me yesterday. I know Lucas fucked with the movies when he re-released them in 97', but he has fucked with them even more now! Dialogue is changed for no reason, voices are changed, fake looking special effects are thrown in just for the fuck of it music is changed etc. . Isnt it bad enough that this geek has released those two atrocious prequels on the world?!:confused:

[Rikk]

I was psyched to get these DVDs. And there were cool things in the documentaries. But yeah, it does suck having the fucking movies tampered with even more! I mean, Hayden Christensen now playing the father in JEDI? Just fucking stupid.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Yeah, I was totally pumped. They are still cool to have on DVD..... but man leave well enouggh alone......I agree about the Hayden Christensen thing. There was no purpose in changing some of the dialogue, voices(Boba Fetts).........at the minimum he could have included the original versions as well. No?

[MAX]

Shut up Bill!!! LOL!!!

I picked it up after work today. I haven't watched anything except the Bonus disc and I'm loving the documentary. My son, who is almost six LOOOOVED the new "Empire" BTW!!!

[Bill Lumbergh]

I watched Empire with my oldest son just this afternoon. Still my fave movie of all time..........but man some of the gay ass changes!!!! My son was entranced for two hours though, which was cool.

Are we throwing Fug's aliases in the Pen this week?

[Bill Lumbergh]

The documentary is fucking bad ass though, I agree. Fucker.

I can't believe JEDI was supposed to be directed by Spielberg! I didn't know that. And I didn't know that Han Solo was supposed to die in JEDI!!!

[MAX]

I still love the first one the best. I'm definitely going to make hoagies or order pizza and watch the original STAR WARS on Saturday night with whichever family member wants. Most likely it will be with my son. This is what makes owning a stellar home theater room worth the $$$!!!

I'm probably more excited than he is!!!!

Yeah, Ash is my favorite. Let's give him a whole history and everything........"Ash was a meth addict, who grew up on the streets of Cincinatti........his mother was a tranny, his Dad was a lab experiment gone wrong.........Coming up next- Wolfman shows Ash how to play "hide the pickel" ".

I think it was a contract dispute between Ford and Lucas. They werent sure if Ford would do Return.

[Rikk]

Fascinating stuff. EMPIRE will always be my favorite, but with the original a VERY CLOSE second. JEDI is not nearly as good as the other two, IMO. It has its moments, but the magic just isn't as strong for me.

Oh, and here's a pic for the SHEEP PEN, come Friday...

What....no caption?!

[Rikk]

That picture is ASH, taken just before "he" got a new identity before crossing the border into Mexico. Damn pesky Mexican border guards fingerprinted "him" and found that it was actually FLABBY THE HUT.:(

Throw stones now and although I havent seen JEDI since the Special Editions a few years back, I fucking like the ewoks. They are cute little bastards.

There, a pompous jock asshole like myself admits it. I fucking choke up when they blow up the one little guy and the other one cries. I'm a pussy like that.

Hey now!!!

Don't be rippin' on me favorite trilogy of all time.

I liked some of the changes, like removing the eyebrows from Anakin in Return of the Jedi. Great stuff!

Hey 'Ham, it's my fave of all time too. Some of the changes were decent, like the Emperor sequence in ESB. Some(like Boba Fetts new voice) were gayer than shit.

[Matt White]

All I want is to be able to buy "A NEW HOPE" on DVD. Nothing changed, nothing added, except the directors commentary.
I tell younger people that I work with how the FIRST STAR WARS is my favorite, and they look at me like I'm NUTZ! Its hard to explain, how much of an impact that movie made. They don't realize all we had back then was the cheesey original Star Trek & Space 1999, which I ALWAYS hated!!!
I tell 'em that my favorite part in all the STAR WARS movies is the beginning of the first one when the STAR DESTROYER flies over head in pursuit of the rebel ship. I know what it felt like for KEITH RICHARDS when he described the first time he heard ROCK AND ROLL. "I went from seeing the world in black & white, to sudden and vivid TECNICOLOR!!!!" That's what 1977 was for me!!!
AMEN!!!!

DAVE OR THE GRAVE BABY!!!!

And before Spielberg it was David Lynch:

For Return of the Jedi (1983) David Lynch was originally approached to direct. Lynch stated that he thought creator George Lucas ought to handle the directing chores.

Mezro...my god would that have been incredible...Dennis Hopper as Wicket...

[Mezro]

George Lucas can do whatever he wants with his films.

While I'm not a big fan of all the changes 75% of them are improvements.

Mezro...Empire Strikes Back rules...hold on...I need to peel a mynock off my hull...

Well then by that rationale, I dont want to see you bash Ed and Al when they make more shitty music and continue to destroy the VH name.

Star Wars was created by George. If George wants to change it that is his right. I would like to see him make the originals available though.

Van Halen was created by DLR, ED, Alex and Fatty. The 4 of them must be involved or it is not Van Halen.

Mezro...I get your point though...making Greedo shoot first was the dumbest move ever...

Hey my friend dont get me wrong, these DVDS are fucking amazing. I just think some of the changes were not needed.

[Bill Lumbergh]

IMO all he had to do was include the originals as well, like they did with the "Alien" box set.

I agree; many were not needed but some were. Fixing shitty special effects from the 70's/80's keeps the films fresh and vital.

Mezro...looking for the changes is kind of fun...

[Warham]

Don't worry Lumbergh...when the Ultimate Collector's Edition Super Deluxe DVD Sextrilogy Set comes out in 2007, I'm sure they'll include the original versions of the classic movies.

LOL!!! The movie would have been a brilliant 4-hour psychodrama about a young man that falls for a singer that has a baby that won't stop screaming. And Lynch would replace Fisher with Laura Dern and Hamill with Harry Dean Stanton. "I am your father, Luke." "Great. Now get me a drink."

Awesome!

I loved the first 3 films, and I hate the last two that came out.

For one, This thread is the first i've heard of that Haydon fool playing the father.
I have thought since the training battle between Luke and Vader on Yoda's planet when Luke cuts Vaders head off, and Lukes face was inside, that Hammil would be the perfect person to play his father in this last film coming out. He's old enough now that it would work, oh well.

And the thing about Han Solo dying was Harrison Fords idea, but Lucas dissagreed with him. Ford is one of those hard to work with actors, but he's good enough to deal with it i guess, lol.

Oh, and i never cry at movies, lol. Cat don't play that.

I must say, after reading some of the comments about the discs i am a tad hesitant to buy them now.

[Warham]

Don't be hesitant Cathedral. They look spectacular!

[Hummarstra]

Can someone explain this hayded christianson thing? Which movie on the new DVDs did Lucas put him in and what scene???

Totally agree !! Ive got my own cinema room happening.
Its a very cool thing. Last great movie I watched in my
own room was Terminator 3. I had a few old mates over
for the weekend. We cranked it up, Ive seperate 200 watt
amps for the front/ centre and rears, plus a 200watt
active subwoofer..

Nice Sony projector and 120 inch 16:9 screen...
Plus the comfiest big red lounge I could find..

Bring on the popcorn !!!! :D

[Coyote]

My friend's got the original trilogy and the S.E. original trilogy. First taped from TV, then bought from a store.

He now appears at the end of "ROTJ" with Kenobi and Yoda, instead of the old guy under Vader`s helmet.

I`m sure he would have changed that as well if he could have got away with it.

What did you all think of the preview of "Episode III"?

I wasn`t crazy about it until i saw the Vader suit in the preview.

The I thought "Whoa, this is a Star Wars film" and am looking forward to going to see it now.

Even though the story will be pretty contrived.

Forget some of the shit I typed. I just watched the first STAR WARS yesterday afternoon on my home theatre, full-blast. And I fucking loved every minute of it. I've seen that film more times than Hagar's sung a bad song. And I was totally excited during every scene.

The quality is great, the documentaries are amazing. I'm going to sit down and watch EMPIRE this evening after getting some more homework done.:)

[Warham]

I don't think the story is contrived at all. The story has been the same since day one.

[MAX]

Hey Rikk,

To answer your question, I fully agree. It's just the pussification of the characters and to be more P.C.

I've yet to see E.T. so I dunno but I read about that. I haven't seen E.T. since it was first released. I loved it but I'm a pussy and chose not to watch it and blubber in front of my kids over some fucking raisin looking alien.

I'm such a hard-ass, jar head but I am such a pussy when it comes to that shit.

[Mr Badguy]

Finally got `round to watching "ROTJ".

Pity he didn`t take that fucking stupid beak off the sarlacc.

Maybe next time?

Fuck... I liked Boba Fett's voice. This DOES mean that he'll factor heavily into the next movie. He ended up on Geonosis without a father or a ride so I presume Count Dooku adopted him and nutured a nice blood fued against Mace Windu. Thoughts anyone? Warham I know you can add something to this...

[twonabomber]

far as i know Boba Fett is not in Ep 3.

[DLR_EngineRoom]

Just like BOBW, people will eventually regret purchsing the StarWars DVD set because when the last prequel has finished it's run in the theatres, you just know there's gonna be a massive DVD collection with ALL of the movies included, plus TONS of extras. And in every second hand shop you'll see VH's BOBW, Van Hagar CDs and the original Star Wars DVD package that was just released.....

[Mr Badguy]

That`s a bit cynical.

Do you really think George Lucas would try to sell us the same films for a fifth time?

I can`t believe that!!!!!!

You and I both know that we`ll buy them for a fifth time.

[twonabomber]

i don't have all of 'em. last set i bought was the original trilogy, fullscreen VHS, non special edition.

Hate to say it but you are right on every point there....

[bueno bob]

Well, my take as an original Star Wars fan from back in the day...

Fett's voice was redone by the guy playing Jango Fett in Ep 2, so the flow is a bit better. I actually like having Hayden show up at the end of Jedi, because the guy that was in their originally would NOT be an older Anakin Skywalker...their looks were about as opposite as possible...

I wish Greedo wouldn't shoot first! Adding that was just a bad move all the ways around, but erasing Luke screaming down the shaft in Empire (that he added for the special editions) was the right thing to do.

Furthermore, I fucking LOVE the prequels and think they FUCKING RULE. And YEAH, like I said, I was an original Star Wars fan, saw all 3 of the original trilogy in the theater.

Boba Fett will only be about 13 at the time of Ep 3, so, rough guess...Dooku or somebody dropped him off on Mandalore, where he's learning the art of bounty hunting from somebody, other family or whatnot...his role in Ep 3 won't be great, if it even exists at all...

Cant wait for May :)

Then who kills Mace Windu? Boba has a great motive. Boba Fett is a great story line and I was THRILLED to see him (or his father or pre-clone or whatever) in II. This is a great story line.

Greedo shooting first in the Cantina is just retarded.

[twonabomber]

prediction-Dooku gets maybe 15 minutes of screen time. read into that however you want. ;)

Samuel L. Jackson has already said that Mace goes out fighting, so who takes him down? probably not a clone trooper...

My guess is going to be a combination of Anakin and Palpatine (or Sidious), and it's probably going to play out a LOT like Luke/Vader/Sidious (or The Emperor) scene in ROTJ, and that will probably be Anakin's final jump over to the dark side.

[bueno bob]

No way a 13 year old Mandalorian is going to take out a Jedi along the lines of Mace Windu...no chance...Windu is like 2nd in ability right next to Yoda himself...I don't see a 13 year old bounty hunter in training besting him by luck, fate, or anything else...

[ALinChainz]

From the documentary, Hayden begged and pleaded to wear the Vader suit, so didn't they put him into each scene as Vader in the suit?

From the very minute he steps on board in "A New Hope", you can tell that Vader is much thinner.

[twonabomber]

nah, that's still Prowse.

[ALinChainz]

Damn, could the helmet be different?

Could it be that the transfer to DVD is just that good that it's fucking with my mind?

Seems different.

[twonabomber]

i think it's the transfer. Prowse is still in pretty good shape, we saw him at the SW Celebration a couple years ago and got autographs and shit.

the new Vader helmet is different, from what they said in the doc the original helmet was not symmetrical.

[Bill Lumbergh]

The sound in ANH is so much better, it sounds like some of the voices were re-recorded(they werent though).

[DLRdelight!]

I still need to pick those dvds up

I wasn't aware of the exact amount of time between II and III. Bummer. Killing the man who killed your clone/father would be a good way for the galaxy's most feared bounty hunter to begin his career.

True dat. But, from all indications, Boba's off learning the tools of the trade and will have made his rep in between the 20 odd year leap between Eps 3 and 4.
