Official DVD Thread #2 - Changes Discussion

Welcome!

In this thread we shall discuss everything that will be or might be changed to the upcoming DVDs of the Classic Trilogy - new and/or altered scenes, fixed and/or added visual and sound effects, dialogue lines, etc.

Among them your favorites: Greedo shooting twice, Shaw holding hands with the Monkey Woman and Hayden stepping on Jabba's NEW tail


Discussion is supposed to be within the TOS, including respecting somebody's opinion and not discussing the fans.




The one change that was debated the most has received its own thread in The Star Wars Saga Forum. Feel free to point at this thread whenever its discussed in too much detail again:
Vader/Anakin Ghost in Jedi aka The Dual Persona Theory?
the other source of much redundancy: "How is that possible?"


Let me remind you of some limits:

This thread is meant specifically for discussion about the actual changes in the OT DVDs, and not for general disussion of SW-or-otherwise change itself. This thread deals with the changes and how they may/may not affect the CT and Saga. Only the new changes in the DVDs can be discussed here, anything else will be edited out.

If you want to talk about change in SW over the years, such as past directorical decisions by Lucas and so on, take it to SW Community.
If you want to talk about just change in general (including references to other films), that's not even SW-specific. Take it to the JCC or maybe Amp (ask the forum mods!).


We also encourage you to repost any new information coming up in here in Thread#1, in order to keep them easily accessible.

 

FIRST POST!!!!

Kick Arse.

Well I guess this is the Re-mix!!

 

Re-mix? No, this is how Damon, me and all of ModSquad view the DVD Thread as it is today We just didn't have the technology (read: intelligence) to do it before

 

So me posting first was always intended???

 

ACTUALLY sitharbad, I was SUPPOSED to post first and then you were SUPPOSED to flinch real weird and then post back at me.

 

Darn, I guess we will have to wait for the HD version of this thread to come out then!!

 

The DVD rip of ROTJ is WIP.

RB

 

Maybe this thread is a WIP???

 

Dude, it's been released

 

RB, is that an official statement, designed for this new, official thread?

 

sithsarbad: It's ok, you can just make it up to me later in this thread by letting me step on your tail.

"Lightsabers now made of sausage!!"

Be careful - he might be listening... any idea, no matter how asinine, is plausible these days.

Hudnall: Too late Scotty dear. I already emailed George what TwilekJedi mentioned and he said that he really likes it.

Razorback: What's a WIP?

 

Dude, it's been released

Somehow I don't buy this!!

PPOR.

Ok, enough sillyness on my part.

 

Yes folks, its 'official' from RB - He does think the ROTJ RIP is WIP

 

"What's a WIP?"

Weirdly Important Person or Work In Progress. Can't remember.

 

RB, is that an official statement, designed for this new, official thread?

I don't think he can answer until September 8th.

Now on to the discussion: [sarcasm]I can't believe they got rid of Shaw! What were they thinking!? The scene has lost all dramatic impact! How will Luke know who he is? That guy with fully functioning limbs, hair, non-pale-white-skin, and no scars looked exactly the same as the guy who Luke unmasked whereas Hayden looks NOTHING like him![/sarcasm]

EDIT: I'm so used to making thigs italics i accidentally typed i instead of the word sarcasm.

 

WIP = Wampas In Pyjamas !!!

 

I thought WIP ment "Working in Pajamas"??

 

"What's a WIP?"

Weirdly Important Person or Work In Progress. Can't remember.

Oh.

All this time I thought RB was saying that the ROTJ RIP...

...would make a great dessert topping.

 

Cool thread. But we will also need a brand new thread the day the DVDs are released to discuss the ACTUAL changes. Can't wait for that one. No rumors. Just the facts.

 

Nowhere does this thread limit the discussion to rumored changes.
Also, posts can be edited.

 

posts can be edited.

What, are you going to go all George Lucas on us or something, Twilek?

 

1) New targeting screens on X-Wings & TIE's

2) New computer graphics on Death Star Attack debrief

3) New computer graphics on Death Star countdown

4) Star Destroyer bridges now look far more technologically advanced (as they should)

 

^A little wishful thinking don't you think??


Whoa, that sounded cool!!

 

C'mon George ol' buddy, dont let me down...........
