Star Wars blu ray in September

I wonder if they're going to try to digitally make Harrison Ford look like he's interested in what's going on in ROTJ?
 
So who is going to do a run of COOL replacement boxes with some good artwork?! Even just black with the Star Wars logo would be cooler.
 
:confused

*listens to audio*

:eek

*listens to audio again*

Hehehehehehheheh...

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA!!!!!!

LINK TO AUDIO

AAAAAAHHAHAHAHAAHA!
:lol :lol
AHAAAHHHHHAAAAA!

:behave

...I'm sorry. What just happened?
 
It's getting beyond "GL raped my childhood" and into "GL has hobbled my childhood with a sledgehammer and sustained it on its own raw extremeties while he charged his hillbilly friends pesos they snagged from the purses of dead hookers to have their way with it."

If that audio is true, anyway.
 
Wow. I gotta say the eyes on Wicket looked pretty decent to me. It was a little clip, no where near the res we'll see on BluRay... but, that's a change I can live with.

Vader's no. No big deal.

Greedo shooting first, pink lightsabers... bigger deals.

Vader's NO is a really, really, really big deal. It's obvious what he's thinking, there's no need to dumb it down by spelling it out, the scene was fine before.

So dumb. So so so so so so so effing dumb.
 
Okay that's crap. What possible reason could they have to add that? Like we all couldn't figure out what was going on in Vader's mind as he tossed the Emperor over the edge?

I hope this is not real.

Ha - you beat me to it cayman.
 
I hope to god that this is the reason why we have this travesty.

Matthew Wood: As a joke, I've re-recorded the sound effect that Obi-Wan uses to startle the Tuskan Raiders by recording myself sounding like a monkey and looping the middle portion. Lucas is going to flip out!
*Plays the clip to Lucas*
Lucas: I love it! That's exactly what Obi-Wan should sound like when he's making that noise!
Matthew Wood: Well that's.... what? but- *Lucas leaves the room* -it was a joke...
 
To me, the SE's are incomplete until Alderaan gets screen time in ANH :)

IIRC, Alderaan gets about 1.25 seconds screen time in ANH.... just before the Death Star blows it into next week! :lol

Jabba was smaller in ANH because he was on Jenny Craig at the time.

Wow! I hope she survived having Jabba the Hutt on top of her ?! Although, as a Brit, I don't know precisely who Jenny Craig is.... I suspect she's the kind of Info-mercial weight-loss nutcase, that I'd quite happily watch 2 Tonne Jabba slither on top of.... :lol

Thankyouverymuch... thankyouverymuch... I'm here all week... be sure to try the Salad Bar before you leave...

On a deadly serious note...
I've been looking forward to the OT Star Wars movies on High Definition optical disc for a LLOOOONNG time. I knew it wouldn't be the Star Wars I grew up with as a kid, but Lucas appears hell-bent on turnimng the franchise into a Disney-fied, pale imitation of it's former self... so I had kinda accepted that it would be the Special Editions :unsure

BUT.... man, am I glad I still have the HD satellite broadcasts of ANH, TESB and ROTJ which were shown by Sky back in January 2007.
They are saved on my Sky HD+ Personal Video Recorder's hard drive, and I imagined I'd be able to finally delete them after I get my hands on the SW Blu Rays.
But if Lucas has been huffing his beard wax again, and the Blu Ray incarnations of our favourite movies is further diluted.... then I'm hella glad I still have the (2004 DVD spec) movies in HD on my satellite PVR. Sure it may be 1080i Interlaced picture, as opposed to 1080p Progressive which the Blu-Rays will be.... but I don't think it amounts to a hill of beans when viewed on a 42" LCD television.

So Roll-On 12th September (Very unusual for us in the UK to get a release BEFORE the US) when I will most-definitely be buying the SW Blu Rays! :thumbsup

.....But, I just know that I will be watching the Original Trilogy from behind my hands... expecting Howard the Duck to have replaced Admiral Ackbar in the Rebel Briefing scene in ROTJ :eek :wacko ;)

Cheers,
John

At this stage it appears as if Lucas is being pure sadistic & doing those new audio edits in the Star Wars Blu-rays just to torture fanboys on purpose.

"Didn't like the prequels..eh.. no OOT for you"

UPDATE: Lucas Added Vader Crying “Noooooo!” To RETURN OF THE JEDI | Badass Digest
All confirmed true.

"It was already such a perfect moment. As Luke, dying under the Emperor's torrent of force lightning, calls out to his father to help him, Vader stares quietly, looks at his son, then at the Emperor, and makes his decision. And he DOESN"T ****ING SAY A THING. That's what makes it so powerful. You could almost see the thought process behind the mask, as Vader slowly comes out of the fog of 20+ years of evil. It's a grand, amazing moment and the pinnacle of the trilogy, in my opinion.

And George Lucas just ruined it."

From the above article.
"So here’s the thing: if these changes are legit and you think they’re awful, don’t buy the set. Please. People have complained for years that they don’t like what Lucas is doing to these films, but they generate so much money that his tinkering is financially validated. Stop doing that and he might (might) get the hint."

The idea of that "NO" actually makes me almost sick to my stomach. Does Lucas KNOW how that more or less spoiled the end of ROTS and decided to stick it in ROTJ becuse F the fans, that's why?!
