(New Edition)

Wonder what - if anything - was changed in AOTC.

Wonder what - if anything - was changed in AOTC.

The cinematically weakest sequence in the entire saga, in my opinion, was the editing of the Dooku-Anakin-Obi Wan duel. I get what Lucas was going for in terms of amping up the intensity of each section of the fight, and the lighting style he chose (darkness with flashes of light for Anakin v. Dooku), but the editing is just really bad. And I love the PT as much as the OT.

I hope that sequence was touched up. Beyond that, not sure what else could have been done with AOTC, other than including well-known deleted scenes in the final cut (Padme's family).

Richard Schickel and Kevin Burns are listed as "Publishers," whatever that means.

I don't think anything was changed for AOTC. However, it'll be nice to see the CG Yoda for TPM. That is if they actually did replace it for the Blu-Ray set. I've always hated that damn on-crack puppet.

Maybe I'm becoming too much a purist but I want the option of watching whatever was shown on each film's opening day... including the crack Yoda puppet. No, it's not as good the original puppet or the CG version but dammit that's what was there originally.

Wait, which part of that are we scoffing at? As a professional jerk, I'm curious, as you left it kind of vague. The part where raveers hopes that the puppet has been replaced? The hope that it has not been replaced? Or is the arguement itself pointless?

I dunno', makes sense to me to wonder. I'm curious myslef which one ends up in the new format. Arguments, for and against, all seem to make some sense to me. We shall see I suppose.

First time I saw Star Wars in 1977, it was in a shitty little cinema in Ohio. There were some frames missing right at the end of a couple of reels. I remember every time I saw it, Peter Cushing would say, "We will crush the Rebellion with one swift..." Then it cut to about 10 seconds into the next scene with Luke and Obi-Wan looking at the dead Jawas.

I really hope they make a special Blu-Ray of that version, cuz that's how I first saw it. Also, I want a holographic Princess Leia to make a personal appearance and piss on my toes while I watch the movies over and over again. Otherwise, NO SALE! DAMN YOU LUCAS!!!!

Whoa there, sparky, slow down. There's a world of difference between "I saw an old shitty print" and "What the fuck are those distracting digital muppets doing there?! Did did that one just fucking MUG for the camera? Wait, why did we need to break away to see some badly mismatched RotJ footage slapped into in the end of ESB?".

At the end of the day, and leaving all SE vs OUT arguments aside, I don't think it's unreasonable to say "Hey, I'd really like to see the film that I saw and fell in love with.". And I think you are seriously underestimating the power of the dollar.

The GOUT was released once, it'll be released again. Maybe again as an extra, but if this release shows nothing else, stuff has been left in reserve to bring to market at a later date for another package. They even, during prepping this release, said "nope, not the definitive release of the saga" - you'll be buying these things for decades to come, and the originals will be there eventually.
