Yeah, that scene in Jabba's palace is my least favorite.

Does anybody know if it's true that Han shoots first again?

I do not like the idea of changing Boba's voice for the following reasons:
1)His voice was IMO the draw to his character. It was spooky and mysterious.
2) I was looking foward to reading how Boba's voice is different than Jango's.( I always figured that Boba got shot in the throat or something.)


But Boba is an EXACT, 100% clone of Jango, so it makes perfect sense for them to have the exact same voice as well.

Also, I prefer Temurera's voice to the original. The original is so raspy, it sounds like he smokes too many cigarettes.

The raspieness is what I liked about Boba.

I'll watch them but I'm not buying them.

I swear I will not.

I sold my PT movies already and I own the Original OT on VCD, that I made.

I'll burn the bonus disc and that's good enough for me.

I've lost faith and I am one of the oldest fans there is.

From what I've read Greedo still shoots first but its been touched up, that was all that bothered me about that change anyway.

I'm not buying the DVDs because SW sucks now

If a few scenes altered makes SW suck then I guess it always did.

That does not mean he will develop into Jango though. He has that potential sure but it would have been cool to leave it and have an explanation as to why in the EU. Mostly I just think it is disrespecct to the actor who did Boba's voice. But when it cames to continuity I cannot argue with the change.

I would not mind seeing Tem redoing the shot from the SE when Boba is wooing the females in Jabba's palace. he could have his helmet off jsut to concrete it as the same person.

I cannot express how embarrasing it feels to watch certain scenes.

I feel really dumb watching that music/circus number in The Huts palace.

And Jabba appears to like it?!?!

He even asks them to do it again.

What a wuss....

EDIT : It ruins the entire movie if I can't bring myself to watch even 2 minutes of it.

That's not right.

I would have been more pleased if they had brought in Lemmy from Motorhead to do a rousing chorus of Killed By Death.

Go listen to it kids.

Here's the thing. I would not care even the slightest if both versions were released but that is not the case. Of course I will still buy it but a new version or director's cut if you prefer is not the original. I am all for some additions from 1997 because I probably saw the originals a lump sum of 15 times and I was 10 years old.

If George appreciated people like me who have put money into his pocket for their entire life, he would have included a little cupon in the set that would allow fans like me and over half the people on these boards to send away another $30 to get 3 discs with THE REAL SW on them.

Are you listening George?

EDIT : Money their entire life FROM THE BEGINING, I might add.

LORD MONSTROSITY, I can relate but lets be a little more optimistic about the DVDs alright. Mark my words the originals will probably be released on some capacity some day. I pray to the Lord that they are with what I like to call these new versions: "The Saga Editions"

"I didn't know there was any question... " There isn't but that scene was added anyway so why not reshoot it with his helmet off. Why would he be wearing it to woo some girls?

OR he can assume those who don't want these versions have the willpower not to buy them.

So what's confirmed so far ?

Haydn Ghost is pretty definite - yeah?
And Temura is doing Boba's voice - yeah?

Greedo still shoots first, that crappy Jedi Rocks thing is still in - yeah?

And everything else is still unconfirmed and the DVD rips may not be the final ones?

Am I right so far?
