Official Thread: Discussion of Potential Changes to the Classic Trilogy for Future Release, V.2.

I don't think replacing Vader's theme is that big a deal. I actually think the Imperial March would be pretty cool, and add more gravitas to the scene, not to mention a little continuity with the rest of the saga.

But most of the other suggestions Drewton made were not my cup of tea, either.

 

I just watched some of Adywan trailer. Sorry to say, but it just looks bad. The lasers? Oh my gosh. The "color correction" is even more off. The emperor hologram in ep V. Sheesh, I couldn't even finish THE TRAILER.

 

Why not fix the Emperor's ROTS eyes so they look closer to ROTJ? The older films came first and if any effort is going to be made to homogenize things, it should be done to the recent films rather than the older ones.

I wouldn't object to CGIing the mouths of masks and puppets -- IF it were done in a subtle way, rather than a way that says "Hey! Look! We've 'fixed' these guys mouths with kewl digital FX! See how they sparkle and glisten with luminous computer-generated pixels? Are we awesome or WHAT?"

I'm glad you said Yoda's ship would be unnecessary, because that's exactly what it would be.

 

Just to comment on the latest "Should the Emperor be in ANH" posts.

Sidious (not the Chancellor) was only in AOTC right at the very end, and it didn't detract from that film, so he doesn't need to be added to ANH just because he's in the other films. He's mentioned, as is the senate. That's all that the film needs.

 

Drewton, I'm an OT purist so I already dislike the Special Editions on principle. However, after reading your lists, all I can say is that I thank the Maker that George Lucas is making these changes and not the "fans".

 

I dunno. I'm kinda digging Adywan's work. From what I've seen, I like the color correction on all the Hoth Scenes. No more drab blue glow over everything.

 

Maybe they could start with the Neimoidians in TPM...

 

The color looks off to me. That shot of Yoda in the trailer is just awful, the lasers are horrendous, and the palpatine hologram looks like a school project. Things just don't fit.

For the blue ray release, just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start from scratch. Meaning, just get the best representation of the original film. All this bs going on with "correcting" sabers and "enhancements" JUST LOOK OFF!

 

Well, to each their own, I guess.

I'm watch Adywan's ANH, and I think it's pretty good. The planet under the Death Star seems a little unnecessary, though.

 

Please leave comments like "fans" out of these discussions, because I know exactly what you're implying. We discuss the films here, not the fans, and it's not your place or my place to start defining what does and does not constitute a Star Wars fan.
