| If you guys are fans of Star Wars like me, you'll notice that the vast majority of Star Wars fans are incredibly upset at George Lucas altering the movies even more in the upcoming Blu-ray release such as making Obi-Wan sound like a screaming pervert in a New Hope and the infamous "NOOO!!" added into Return of the Jedi. I have no problems with the special editions except some minor nit-picks, but I really feel that these additional "improvements" added to the Blu-Ray release has made the movies into somewhat of a joke. I haven't seen original, unaltered versions of the film since I was a kid and I find it really disappointing that Lucas had completely omitted from re-releasing the original versions alongside the special editions. So what do you guys think of the changes made in the upcoming blu-ray release? Do you guys like the changes or are you upset about them? |
| If you get Spike on TV you don't need to buy anything as they show Lucas's bloody movies all day every friggin day it seems. |
| While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku. At least I can go see her in concert. |
| I'm irritated that NOW they release the scenes from the cutting room floor. I'm irritated that GL continues to nit-pick his movies. Can't he just leave them alone? I'm especially irritated that he added the whole "NO!" thing. Vader's silence says plenty already, its not needed. Most of the other changes aren't bad, but still. He needs to get a hobby that doesn't involve messing up his movies continuity. |
| I thought there were only 3 Star Wars movies. Never heard of any new releases recently. Nope. |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |

| What changes? |
| Idc, as long as it has this scene |
Pero said: Some of the minor improvements are nice. Like Wickets eyes, corrected lightsaber's effects and Yoda's CGI in The Phantom Menace. But others, like the weird R2D2 hiding spot, added TIE fighters and the new Jabba's door I found in this page, makes my stomach turn. Lets just hope they are not in the final release. I don't think the added tie fighters are all that bad. One thing that bugged me about the space battle in ROTJ was that you knew both sides were going all out, but I always found it somewhat disappointing as to how both sides didn't have all that many space ships and fighters shown, so that's a decent improvement I guess. But I hate the blinking Ewoks though, their presence slightly ruined Jedi for me and now they're even more life-like? eww |

| Cheap changes. Not earthshattering changes but stupid ones though |

| I saw this advertised at Wal-Mart. "Come for our minight release dressed up as your favorite character" I didn't even know he was shitting on the franchise again with this release. I'm not going to buy it even if I get a Blu-Ray player. |
| Making Vader scream "no!" in Jedi is either Lucas trolling his long-suffering followers, or just being senile. It's indefensible. I don't own any of the films, but there's no way I'll ever buy a version that has that stupid inclusion. He may as well have added a monologue. "No, I have changed my mind about being evil and will now let you know by screaming and picking you up and throwing you away! I have redeemed myself!!!" |

Alpha-kudasu said: Beatnik said: Making Vader scream "no!" in Jedi is either Lucas trolling his long-suffering followers, or just being senile. " is it real? i thought it was an internet joke. I'm pretty sure it's real. It can be found on youtube if you want to hear it (I'm not sure if direct links are allowed). The "no" is not as bad as the one in episode 3, being slightly lower and less cheesy sounding, but I still like the scene without it. |

| Shit. If they wanted to fix something, they could have made everyone seem to actually shoot properly (Are the scopes and iron sights just for decoration or what), and changed the entire last movie, switching Endor with Kashyyk. I don't know why they felt like throwing in those retarded little teddybears when they already had a similarly fluffy, but huge and violent breed to pick instead, but it's got to be one of the worst decisions in movie history. |
| people are still fans of that heaping mass of shit that is referred to Star Wars now a days? One of the changes I heard where the Ewoks blink now? I'm just waiting for the change where they replace puppet yoda with uncanny valley yoda Heck by the time I have kids they will probably just replace everything with CG and there will be none of the original movie left. |

| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| I loved star wars as a kid but it became a joke a long time ago. This thousandth re-release is just another nail in the coffin. Stop milking the movies already lucas. |
Jigero said: One of the changes I heard where the Ewoks blink now? I'm just waiting for the change where they replace puppet yoda with uncanny valley yoda The Ewok blinking is true. Also, for the Phantom Menace, they do replace puppet Yoda with CGI, although he actually looks pretty good. |

| I don't mind Vader saying "NOOO!", but Obi-wan scream is, frankly, horrible, lol. |

| The only change that I think wasn't a terrible idea was taking out the puppet Yodi in Episode 1. It looked worst then in the original movies. Other than that it's a shame to see Lucas continue to ruin these movies. |
| Star Wars still matters? People still buy movies in a physical format? |
AnimeSucks said: JonyJC said: Star Wars still matters? People still buy movies in a physical format? Nah, I'm just going to download them and put them on my external. I wouldn't even bother wasting the hard-drive space or the bandwith used to download them. |

SassyLady said: Well it's in high-def so that's a plus and on blue-ray. But don't really matter to me honestly they are just making it look a little better made then in the past, though original is sometimes best. In this case original is always best. Pointless changes just fuck with the fans. |
JonyJC said: Star Wars still matters? People still buy movies in a physical format? People like you are annoying. Anyways, I don't see why they didn't just put both versions in the set. Oh, wait, I predict Star Wars Bluray ULTIMATE edition coming out next year. |

| In contrast, Spielberg has recently confirmed that the upcoming bluray of E.T will be the original version and not the 'shotguns replace by walkie-talkies' special edition of 2002, thanks to fan demand. He admitted that he caved into demands by parents groups before, and now regrets tinkering with his films and has promised he wont do it again. Thank fuck, because I'm still waiting for Raiders on blu... |

Thank fuck, because I'm still waiting for Raiders on blu... Yeah, Lucas won't admit his mistakes I don't think. And, yeah, I'm with Jrittmayer just have both options on the disks that way every one can be happy. Unless, of course, he wants to pull a Blade Runner or something. |

| I don't like it, Lucas should have just left it alone as they were, those scenes he altered for the BluRay version just ruins them. |
| I am one of the few who likes these changes, I guess. And yes, I'm Star Wars fan, have been over 10 years now. It's the story which makes me a fan, not some tiny details in the movies. |
| I'm boycotting this release because it doesn't have the originals and because I hear it's only HD DVD quality video. I love Star Wars, I don't particularly mind the editing (except for the "NO!", that was retarded), but it's a BluRay FFS, you can put both versions on AND upgrade to BluRay resolution. |
mellors said: Next he'll redo all the music too... Well he already did that, once in Jabba's palace with the original Lapti Nek song, to that god damn rubbish CGI dance melody, where the guy basically breaks the forth wall and screams right into the audience. Then again with the beloved ewok yub nub drum music to the other long crappy pan pipe rubbish visually though it's got better, no denying that. |

Even better would be the Orginal 1977, 1997, 2004 and blur ray updated. Plus all bonus features. I mean it's not like Blu ray is lacking for space to be able to do all of that. Wait three years until the re-re-release of the blue ray with all those features. He is an awful man. |
| Improving something by remastering it or adding CGI doesn't really matter that much. Changing shit is the biggest kind of bullshit anybody can do though. |
Heavenfang said: I am one of the few who likes these changes, I guess. And yes, I'm Star Wars fan, have been over 10 years now. It's the story which makes me a fan, not some tiny details in the movies. But the changes mess and interrupt with the story telling, and actually change the tone of some scenes, fuck the cinematography and even change characterization. So your probably not a fan of story, if you where you would detest the the changes. You probably think the the prequel had better light saber fights too right? and Oh boy 10 years? so you been a fan for as long as it's been shit.... Why? |

| I really couldn't care less. All I've been hearing is Starwars fanboys bitching about it. |
 |
| Changing music is really annoying ?! Like I said I haven't watched the blu ray , but If they've changed the music and the NOOO part , I won't watch it ! |
 |
Jrittmayer said: JonyJC said: ... People like you are annoying. Racist. |
| The only change I like is the emperor's hologram in part 5 matching his actual appearance in part 6. That's not specific to the blu-rays though. |
