"Father, save me!" "Ok son, I'll stop trying to kill you and save you instead." Seriously? We authors wouldn't be able to get away with that ending now.<br /><br />Ok, so the line I'd add: Vadeer doing a face palm with "What was I thinking all these years of evil service."<br /><br />No worse than just a "Noooo!"

Tolkien changed things in LotR all the way up until he died, but no one other than the publishers ever really knew. I'm not sure if I'm going to buy this edition only because their going to start being released next year in 3d, and I will want those, so I might save the money this time. I still have the original theatrical cut on VHS (even though the "original" version of Ep IV is not actually the original as there were some scenes cut between the 77 release and the 78 release.<br /><br />Oh, and he does have a new movie coming out next year. It's a WWII movie called Red Tails.<br /><br />In all actuality, knowing something about how things work down at the Ranch, Lucas probably had very little to do with the changes in the upcoming Blu-ray release. Sure, he signed off on them, but that was probably about what it was. They came to him and said, "we want to do this," and he said, "sure, whatever."Andrewhttp://strangepegs.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-80796728610877213022011-09-02T15:43:30.436-04:002011-09-02T15:43:30.436-04:00I think he should say something about the Ewok'...I think he should say something about the Ewok's blocked tear ducts. <br /><br />Oh...

I remember at the time thinking some of them looked pretty cheesy. I'm guessing a lot of that stuff didn't age well. Too bad he's become so enamored with all that.

I decided to guess about when it happened. I guess that would make more sense.<br /><br />I agree that some of the changes I thought were better, with the cooler looking sky, erasing mat lines, stuff like that is great. Adding dialog and farting dinosaurs might be too much though.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-74788133288989486122011-09-02T10:35:35.927-04:002011-09-02T10:35:35.927-04:00Yeah, he just keeps making changes.

Whatever. I'm glad I bought "Empire Strikes Back" on DVD with the original theatrical version disc included (plus I still have a VHS copy of that and Jedi).<br /><br />What's funny is one of the things they're changing is I guess in Empire when the wampa swats Luke if you look closely you can see the end of a pole on the wampa's arm. I'd watched the movie like 500 times and never noticed it. Why? Because it doesn't freaking matter!<br /><br />Most of these changes don't really add anything to the movies (like did changing the color of the Bespin sky matter?) and some of them like when Han and Jabba talk in the original "Star Wars" seem half-assed anyway.<br /><br />Someone needs to seriously hold an intervention with Lucas and get him to stop. Maybe if he tried doing some NEW movies (like non-Star Wars or Indiana Jones ones) he wouldn't worry about these so much. Or maybe he could go work on "Howard the Duck: The Mega Special Edition".PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.com
