I'm all for remaking the trilogy! In fact I think Spielberg would be the perfect director to do it! And just to save you guys from going to all the trouble...

::Luke_Clone crucifies himself::

The creator of the thread probably voted yes. Would any of us have enough guts to post this? tongue

I posted this already once in a thread that got locked:

I like the idea of a remake a whole lot better than I like the idea of Lucas just changing things around with the old film right now. If he really wants the PT and OT to fit together well, this is a better option IMO.
It would be somewhat interesting...all new technology, actors, and all the CG you could possibly want.
It's a good idea. The purists would be happy because then Lucas would quit screwing with the originals. The people that want all the movies to fit together would be happy. Lucas would be happy cause then he could do everything he wants and play around with all his new technology. The only people that wouldn't be happy are the people who liked the SE's. And they're weirdos anyways.
(Just kidding to all the SE-lovers. I'm sure you're all very good people beneath all that medication.)

The THX editions weren't bad all. What's up with you? And I love the SE.

Definitely not. After AOTC I watched the OT again and I have to say, they were 10X better than TPM or AOTC because of the great chemistry between Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill. This is not in scenes with stunning FX or earthshattering revelations, it's the quality of the pacing, the way the dialogue (though cheesey) snaps back and forth, setting the mood, or making you laugh. They also make the other characters shine, particularly Chewie and C3PO, whose acid comments about Solo are priceless. More importantly, 3PO is genuinely funny in the OT, wheras in the PT, he's a jackass. I think the trio of Fisher, Ford and Hamill worked together particularly well, as seen in the SW to Jedi documentary, where they discuss how to deliver the lines in ROTJ about 3PO being a "god" to the Ewoks. Harrison is stressing how to deliver the lines to give them a more comic feel - and it works. Without wishing to disrespect Natalie Portman et al, they just don't have the same spark as the OT actors, possibly because Harrison was confident enough to insist on changes on set.

How can you sat the THX editions were "raping" the OT. They were not at all altered, only presented in letterbox and with remastered sound. I cannot believe you would rather watch the original VHS version that is formated to fit the screen, you miss everything that happens on the sides of the screen (i.e. Djas Puhr, Amanaman, etc...)
