Star Wars Trilogy on DVD already the top selling DVD ever!!

[quote name='SneakyPenguin']why is everyone so against the special editions? ive seen both versions, and its not like et where spielburg took out guns or anything major like that, he added a few scenes that flesh out the story.[/quote]

as i said earlier, i'm not really into star wars, but i know some people that are, and they are pissed because the original versions are not being made available, and i can understand that. i don't care if the special editions are released, and i don't think they do either, but making it so those are the only versions available is unfair to the fans of the series. i'm not sure what the big difference is, but i can say that people want the original versions, so why not just give the people what they want? then just release the special editions seperately, or throw them in the same box, but still make the originals available. it's like denying that the ever existed.

Never understood why he changed it in the 1st place.

Thats changing the way the film was when it was originally released and I never liked that. IMO
 
The furor over that was that, in having Han shoot after Greedo, it became an act of Han acting in self-defense. But the original scene, with Han shooting first, is a display of his rough nature as an outlaw. The reason that Lucas changed it for the SE was so that Han would seem more like a "good guy." That's the furor. Blah. I really doubt that I'll buy the SEs on DVD. I'll wait for the originals. And the SE Death Star explosion was lame.

In that case, be prepared to wait for the rest of your life...

Lucas has declared that the special editions ARE the movies. As long as he's alive (and probably for quite some time after, if his wishes are respected), we'll NEVER see the original versions again. Ever.

It's not going to happen. You want Star Wars on DVD? This is it.
 
I hate Lucas. He's either delusional or has the biggest ego in the world. Probably a little of both. I don't care what his vision of the film is. He should just rerelease the originals, but oh well.

Does it concern anyone that BigNick breaks his purchases down into hours of entertainment. I hope he isn't that way with his ladies.

Finally, I hate widescreen and always will. I've never been so mad as the time I accidently bought full-screen. The industry never should have caved and made full-screen to begin with. Those stupid rednecks and their 13" tv complaining about how the bars cut off the picture.

BTW, I will be preordering and I'm probably still driving to Indianapolis for the next Star Wars celebration, but I don't have to be happy about it.

Cause a lot of the effects were poorly done and some of the added scenes are plain stupid like where greedo shoots first. And it is not just the fact he shoots first, but the fact that it is poorly done - greedo is holding a gun 3 feet from his head and Han is still able to dodge. WTF? That is pure stupidity and never should have been added to the movie.


And Lucas seems to be smartening up a bit since he has been making some decisions to appease fans ie the early release of the OT on dvd, etc. So maybe we will get the originals or a better edited version of the SE (han shoots first, luke doesn't scream).
 
[quote name='st0neface']Most star wars games are good, except for obi-wan, and that fighting one. Kotor 2 is in the works. It'll be shown at E3, and featured in the next EGM.[/quote]
I remember hearing about that, but I wasnt sure so I didnt want to report anything false. Also, since my EGM(if not a fraud deal) won't come for another 12 weeks I dont think i'm going to be reading it.
 
I like star wars, but I don't think I'd buy that thing... unless it was going for cheap... atleast I still like star wars WAY more than Star Trek.
