George Lucas redeems himself? (Star Wars Original Versions)

[axlish]

PFT, too bad i arleady scored the original trilogy on DVD, like 3 years ago thanks to eBay and Laser disc transfers. sorry Lucas, to little too late. I own the lasers, and while they are cool, they aren't the original releases either. They have altered dialogue, enhanced soundtracks and audio channels. I am buying the F out of these babies. One thing that worries me is the 2.0 audio mix. The first one was released in mono.

They are also doing 3D versions of all 6 films. I read something about that not too long ago. Lucas said something like "3D is the future of American cinema"......Come on George!!!! It didn't work in the 50's, it ain't gonna work now! Who wants to sit for two hours, cross eyed wearing silly paper glasss, to watch a flick?

I don't really mind. I rarely watch Star Wars these days. The original trilogy is pure gold, but I've watched them so much I got tired of them. The prequel trilogy is pure ****e. I used to be a HUGE Star Wars fan. I have the originals on tape, before they were tampered with. But the prequels changed all that. When the first film was released, I deemed it "OK" but only gave it one go at the cinemas. Episode 2, tied together with Episode 1, was alright. But last time I watched it, I was bored to tears. It's a really horrible film, I say. I hated Episode 3 even more. Just to compare, when Episode 1 and 2 were released on DVD, I bought them. And I told myself, I'd do the same with Episode 3 to complete the trilogy. But when I saw it, I was sooo disappointed, I decided that George Lucas won't be seeing any of my money. Infact, I should download it (which I never do otherwise), just out of spite. George Lucas, **** you.

I have to admit this is a really good idea. My only problem with it is they didn't release this thing the first time.

Heh, it would take a LOT more for Lucas to redeem himself than releasing the original prints of star wars as they were viewed in the theatres. Besides, with all he's done to **** on the SW legacy, what makes anyone think he's actually going to put out these three versions and not tinker with it at least a little bit? c'mon! Nah, he's beyond redemption.. at least in my eyes. LC

Star Wars and Saturday Night Fever were the two films in 1977 to use the Dolby Stereo system.

That was the BEST bit of Robot Chicken this season ... or wait a minute, am I thinking of episode 120? Hmmm...needless to say I crap myself with laughter everytime I hear/read someone barging out a full-on "NERD!!!!".

[Danny]

robot chicken? are you sure you didnt just imagine this?, if you were from the west country i could blame it on a recent visit to a cider festival but man...

It's a show. On something in America called 'Adult Swim' (where they show stuff like Family Guy or whatever I think). It's stop-motion animation with toys and stuff, a bunch of celebs do voices on it like Sarah Michelle Gellar. Seth Green does too, and he's a co-creator. Sh*t, they had Bruce Campbell voicing on episode 205, even had a Bruce Campbell action figure on there, can't remember the context, but it was something damn funny.
