CT I have not watched the new Star Wars Blu-Rays.

Usually I keep my mouth shut when I see people make replies that they dont like Star Wars anymore because of George Lucas making changes or whatever. I'm like really? You're gonna get in a hissy fit just because he wants to make slight changes in his movies that he made back in the day where he didnt have the chance to keep the lost footage in New Hope such as Biggs. I am one of the few casual huge fans of Star Wars that keep hearing about old cut footage like that and want to see old footage like that and to see why they had to be cut out of the movies.

I still dont have the Blue Rays of the Original Trilogy but I keep planning on buy the Blue Ray set since it has the bunch of behind the scenes stuff including the lost cut footage which I am more interested in from the Blue Ray set. I already have the 2004 DVD set so I dont need to watch the movies all over again since I've seen them a gazillion times ever since I was a little kid in the early 1980s.

I dont care who shot first. I dont care if the original Empire Strikes Back Emperor Palpatine was an old woman with moneky eyes. I dont care if ROTJ Palpatine had some screwy screen effect that made it look like he had a "slug" crawling around on his hood. I don't care. I love the movies. That's it.

Wow. Reaction.

Quote:
Since 1997, LucasFilm has released edition after edition of Star Wars re-edits, prequel films, and a blitz of licensed merchandise. The fanboys couldn’t get enough, but at the same time complained to no end, particularly about changes Lucas made with the original trilogy, such as blinking Ewoks or making Greedo shoot first. When asked about the possibility of any new Star Wars films, Lucas responded bluntly, “Why would I make any more when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are.”

These are not the words of a man happy with his creation.

Read "Skywak

Read "Skywalking" and come back. Read "George Lucas: A Biography" and come back.

Apparently, Lucas does.......

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense. You're simply putting your own spin on what Lucas actually said, which was that he was unhappy with the reaction to his creation not the creation itself.

And with all the terrible, terrible things some idiotic hatemongers have said about the man, who can blame him?

for anyone that wants to watch star wars in HD,
or at least the SE versions before the blurays came out.

just get the HDTV versions, that way you don't get the
bluray changes, but it's still high definition. there are
720p and 1080p versions that were broadcast.

I used to visit these threads back when EP 3 came out, closure for me was back then but with news of the new movies I have revisited here, knowing this was a very good source for discussion. Anyways, I opted not to buy the blu rays because I had the DVD box that was released not that long ago so I felt it was overkill. To date I haven't even considered buying them as I have a VHS set and a DVD set as well.

However, I was digging around today and I found out that there were new deleted scenes! I was wondering if anyone can help me out to find these. PM me or email me.

thanks.

They look great but yeah the new tinkering is just plain old crap

Lucas just didn't have the technology to do Biggs in the 1970s. Today we have newfangled machines and much more powerful Biggs-making capabilities.
