I don't care if he does that, at least that doesn't change the originals. What he's doing now is worse.apana said:

Well I suppose you are right about that. It's just that there are two options with regards to a sequel trilogy. First you'd have to bring all the original cast back and have them mentoring young kids along with creating some kind of new villain. It gets kind of hairy. The second option is having the new trilogy set very far in the future so you dont need any of the original cast. Well if you are going to do that, might as well set it in the past, there is interesting history to explore. Jedi and Sith origin stories could be really cool.
That's what he should've done from the start if he's so intent on making the prequel trilogy cohesive with the original. All movies are representative of their times. That's why no amount of CG tweaking can hide the fact that "Star Wars" still looks like a movie that's over 30 years old. The way that it's shot, the acting and even the hairstyles all date the film. So all these additions are invariably distracting because the audience intuitively knows they don't belong.apana said:

You can add all the shit you want, but please give me the original versions too. What's so hard/wrong about that?
Yep there really is no excuse anymore. They always talked about how poor condition the remaining reels were etc. The fact a new set of reels were discovered in near perfect condition means no more bullshit. Get it done.SHOTEH FOCK OP said:

I always thought Han needed more bloom.

It would certainly work better than a history lesson that no one (ie not EU fans) cares about.

People -- he has to keep changing things so you'll also buy the "Star Wars Original And Untouched Editions!" five years down the road...

I think he will package another shitty version of the originals with future double-dips.CartridgeBlower said:

Doesn't fix obvious, unquestionable errors.

It's amazing that, even with all these ridiculous changes, they still fucked up the colour of Luke's lightsabre changing from blue to green.
God that new Han effect is awful. Might as well remake the entire trilogy if he's going to obsessively change minor details he feels look dated.

Which was always a dodgy excuse anyway, since you'd need the original in order to tamper with the original. Plus it's not like Star Wars was some little flick, there had to be plenty of usable versions around if he was actually interested. Especially with ILM helping to restore (instead of making Ewoks blink, etc) it'd be a non issue.
But yeah, Lucas is so far gone... surrounded by yes men and his ego. He even has Spielberg going around saying he regretted the changes he was convinced into making for E.T. It's like he knows the feedback is bad but is so stubborn that instead of reverting, he keeps messing with it to try to prove he's been right all along. "The fans will like it now! They must! More rocks around R2D2 guys, we're not gonna f*** it up this time!!"
Him finally releasing the original trilogy under fan demand was something. But making sure they weren't anamorphic was something else entirely. That seemed downright hostile and was like the ultimate "screw you" to fans. Well, until him dubbing in more Vader "noooooo's," that is.

Probably speaking from personal experience with clumsiness.
Anakin never looked like that old man in robes. Sooo... is that how he envisioned himself? Somehow, I find it easier to imagine him remembering how he looked like before he turned into Vader than him going "hey, that probably is what I'd look like at the age of my death had I not been burnt to a crisp!"ryutaro's mama said:

I don't know why Lucas does this. No one is asking for this. It's like he is trying to find acceptance or something. Like he thinks he's making the movies better every time or something.

Is Han Solo breaking out of a Xenomorph cocoon?
I refuse to believe things like Vader "No!" are still part of his "original vision." At this point this has to be like a one-dollar drunk bet he lost... or won...

I think the thing that bothers me the most about the changes is that there are so many other glaring mistakes and errors that would benefit from fixes, but he ignores them.

It is also funny how much the price of the two disc dvd sets have shot up this past week. The ones that include the LD rips are going for insane prices now.
