Art Sandusky Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 I went to StarWars.com to see for myself, and made the mistake of looking into the Databank. Three hours later I had no idea where the time went.
Black Lushus Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 i guess im the only one that doesn't have a huge problem with the changes Lucas made or with the newer trilogy...oh well...plus I still have my old tapes if i REALLY need to refer to them that bad...the Star Wars universe in general is cool enough to where I can deal with change...
Kaertos Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) Thank you BL. Sometimes I feel like I am the only person left who still loves the Star Wars series. Edited July 23, 2004 by Grand Slam
Art Sandusky Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 What are you talking about. I love it also. I just wish they wouldn't put Hayden Christensen into the place of Sebastian Shaw.
pochorenella Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 Bumped since I didn't want to start a new thread: Release date for Episode III is May 19, 2005. Got it. Line starts to the right. No pushing, please.
Spaceman Spiff Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 We still love it, we just don't want Lucas to start tinkering around with the movies we grew up on. It'd be akin to going back and digitally putting hair on Hogan, taking out blood every time Flair bladed, and re-shooting George "The Animal" Steele footage with "Eugene's dad".
Kaertos Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 But Spiff, here's the thing. Sure graphics have changed and yeah, it might be Hayden in place of Sebastian and Greedo shoots first and, I'll agree, Jar-Jar is a little annoying. But to me none of this blunts the impact of the story or the rise, fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. Personally, until he changes something that changes the essential story of the 6 movies, then I really could care less. Should the original versions be preserved? Well, sure. That's history. Does it cheese me off to the extent that I had to think about buying the trilogy? Heck no.

Survivor Series 97 Special Edition - Bret taps out.
Art Sandusky Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 This stuff doesn't make me re-think buying the trilogy's DVD set by any means. I'm just upset that my personal favorite moment of the entire trilogy has been altered, and it's just not the same. EDIT: In fact, it didn't even become my favorite moment of the trilogy until they re-did it with the new ending music, so that shows that I'm very open to well-done alterations.
pochorenella Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 Credit for this goes to starwars.com: Clone Wars Micro-series on DVD -- The Emmy-nominated series one and two of Clone Wars will be coming to DVD from Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox Home Video in spring 2005, around the same time as the debut of the third season of Star Wars: Clone Wars on Cartoon Network. Ewoks and Droids on DVD -- At the end of 2004, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox Home Video will release the 1980s Saturday morning animated adventures of Ewoks and Droids, as well as the live-action television movies The Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. So I guess I was wrong with the Clone Wars DVDs coming out this year. And a third season next year? Hell Yeah!
Black Lushus Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 eh, I could do without the Ewoks stuff...is that stuff even recognized in Star Wars canon anyway?
starvenger Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 So I guess I was wrong with the Clone Wars DVDs coming out this year. And a third season next year? Hell Yeah! Yeah, what he said. Although if you're really impatient, you can probably find DVD bootlegs at a local comicon, or downloads from BitTorrent et al. Not that I would advocate illegal downloading or anything. I'm just saying.
starvenger Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 eh, I could do without the Ewoks stuff...is that stuff even recognized in Star Wars canon anyway? I think it is. Yub-yub.
LaParkaYourCar Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 I remember as a kid wanting to watch The Ewok Adventure and then after it was over I was like, "What the hell was that crap?"
Art Sandusky Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 I've never actively liked or disliked the Ewoks. I re-watched Episodes I and II this week, and that so much more could have been done had Lucas allowed someone else to work with him on the writing and directing irks the hell out of me. Then again, it's an incomplete story thus far. Episode I was much more enjoyable after Episode II came out.
