Now, you’ll recall that a little bit ago, I said these should probably be best considered new 2011 versions of these films, and not the 2004 DVD versions. All the fixes and corrections alone justify this in my opinion, but there’s another reason too… and you can probably guess what it is: Once again, George has apparently added a few new “surprises” into these films. I don’t know what they are and didn’t get to see any of them on Friday, but I was assured that there will be “new things to notice” when we watch the films.

Edit: Apparently people have never heard of a rhetorical question.

It sounds like all of these changes will be for the better. Let's hope Han shoots first again and Hayden is no longer Vader's force ghost at the end of RotJ.

It'd be really cool if there was some guy in Russia or China with 35mm prints of the original trilogy, a telecine machine, the inability to give a fuck, and fast internet access.

I don't condone piracy but the way Lucas has treated these movies is embarrassing.

I think some of those changes are for the better. There's rumors of the CGI Yoda replacing the bad puppet in Episode 1. I can't see how anyone would prefer the puppet. The CG Yoda would better match Episode 2 and 3 Yoda.

From that article, they seem like they're correcting a lot of little nagging mistakes throughout the films. Like the lightsabers, their colors throughout Episodes 4-6 were off. The color timing varied in those movies. Now it looks like they'll be consistent throughout.

The street date is the middle of next month, right? I wonder if any sets will leak out before then. I really want to know what they're changing this time.

Because short of not buying the movies, there's not much you can do about it. They belong to him, he can do what he wants with them.

Lucas discontinues older versions so people are forced to get the new ones if they want better restoration or image quality. The only alternative to watching the original Star Wars is either finding a VHS version or getting it online, but people want to see the originals restored to Blu Ray quality, not with all the extra CGI fluff.

Just remake the films George..

you've just discovered how we can save star wars.

if we encourage him to totally remake the originals with a cast, tone and level of mastery that more aptly reflects everything he so dearly loved about the 99-05 films, episodes 1-3 can be re-classified as the first three episodes in the "new" standalone saga, leaving the originals unmolested and ready for the day after lucas drinks his last double mocha latte.

The most sensible post in this thread.

According to the Digital Bits article, the Blu-ray version of the SW films is a huge improvement audio and video wise compared to the 2004 DVDs. Which is more than can be said for the Blu-ray releases of Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings and The Big Lebowski.

These are pre-3D editions. I can't imagine what kind of shit he's going to change for those.

IF they finish the 3D versions. Lucasfilm has said that how Episode I 3D performs at the boxoffice will be the deciding factor on whether to continue with the rest of the series or not.

I'd love to see this, I have to admit though that even if Lucas was involved I'd still watch them, it's Star Wars after all. I may not support it in theaters on day one but I'd see them down the line. I'd definitely love to see a real high quality new Star Wars film again though, in IMAX without 3D.

This a 100%.

I've got the 90's VHS versions which are thankfully absent of Lucus' (fat hack version) taint.

George Lucas is a sad little man with an embarrassing hard on for CGI. Either all his early successes were flukes (or more likely the result of surrounding himself with more talented people), or middle age has been infinitely cruel, changing him from a young visionary into the biggest sellout whore in the history of cinema.

Due next year in theaters.

It will be gigantic. People who were kids in 1999 are just old enough to be hitting childhood nostalgia mode.
