CT Does anyone else actually like Anakin's "NOOOO" added in ROTJ?

Everyone should see the original version of the OT regardless.

 

Ah, the days of fast forwarding and rewinding...........
Don't particularly miss those.

 

Pff, you kidding? Bring 'em back, I say

 

I have seen it and I do not enjoy it like I do the Special Editions. I do think the Original un-Special Editions should be released to the general public in higher quality, however, so that people can choose their own Star Wars.

 

You can like whatever version you want. No problem with that. It's just that the OOT was what began the saga that we love. To not see it even for historical sake makes no sense to me.

 

I don't want to pay for it when I already have access to the SE films, and I don't want to spend the time watching it when I can just watch the SE versions. Maybe I'll try it eventually but it's really not on my must-see list right now.

 

I do like some of the changes made over the years, but that was hideous. It was not needed at all

 

It's out of character. You can tell he's not saying "noooo" to the possibility of Luke dying, but to the crummy addition.

 

I didn't feel like skimming this entire thread to see if I replied already, but I do not like Vader's added "No" in ROTJ. It was terrible and unneeded.

 

So Lucas' reason for this change was to make it tie into the rest of the Saga and ROTS?
Anakin was one of the main characters of all 6 movies and Palpatine was the main villain of all 6 movies. This was the conclusion of their relationship and Anakin makes the right choice this time. Do we really need another tie in to the other movies?
The subtleness of the original scene was amazing. This new change feels forced.

 

I like the added no, it works in the scene.

 

Did I saw best change EVER along with Anakin's Force Ghost and the Emperor yet?

If not then I just did.

Now if they had only put the dissolution of the Senate and Vader going to Coruscant and reporting the DS's destruction in IV.

 

Personally, I feel the addition of the "Nooo!" deserves the Xerxes approach, minus the barbarism of course, burning all records of it and erasing its very existence from the annals of history. Having James Earl Jones give George Lucas a public spanking would be nice, too.

 

No, just no. A scene with the Emperor dissolving the senate is not necessary. Tarkin gives the necessary information and anything else would be SE Jabba redundant. Do we really want more boring politics scenes in Star Wars? The Vader scene you propose would ruin the pace of the end of the film.

The original version of the scene was subtile and powerful. The abomination version added one of the worse memes to come out of ROTS and made the scene a joke.

 

Did they actually get JEJ back into the studio to record that one line, or was it someone else? Or was it just something leftover from filming ROTS and they just stuck it in?

Anyway, I just watched the clip online, and I guess it wasn't quite as horrible as I thought it would be...though that's probably because what I had in mind going into it was Vader's "NOOOOOOO" scream from ROTS and nothing can top that.

 

Personally not a fan of it, but like most of the changes it comes off as rather "meh", it doesn't bother me as much as the force ghost change bothers me.

 

I do wonder where they got that

It's clearly not the ROTS no; it sounds much more panicked than in despair (and it's obvious why)

My best guess is that it's from an alternate take from ROTS, or maybe they heavily digitally altered the existing one

 

I think it works just fine. I actually like it.

 

I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. I don't think the scene is ruined by an outburst of emotion from Anakin. Anakin is a passionate guy, after all.

 

That's the way I look at it. I was OK with Vader just being silent and then disposing of Palpatine without any fussing. But, that can be thought of as a "more machine than man" type quality. The fact that the good in Vader has been awakened and he is compelled to object to the Emperor sort of humanizes him in a way.

 

I was against it from a filmmaking standpoint at first, but now I would miss it if it wasn't there.

 

Gone over to the dark side, you have.
