Star Wars Trilogy DVD

I did see the classic trilogy on dvd and i still thought there should be more to it.

Well, your banned, but I was disguested with how they changed the movies. It was awful when they released it that way in the theaters all those years ago, but to make those changes perminately on the DVD version is beyond evil.

Oh yes, completely evil. Only Satan could do something as evil as attempt to perfect his vision.

Anyway, yes, I think there should be more changes. All of the CGI should be improved to match Episode III standards, all of the lightsaber effects should be fixed, and stuff like that. There don't really need to be any new scenes, except for maybe a scene before Alderaan is destroyed showing Bail Organa, because he's pretty important in Episode III and is then completely absent. In Return of the Jedi, Kashyyyk and Utupau will probably be added to the ending montage of celebrating planets. But, other than that, I don't think anything else is needed. Maybe they could just have Temuera Morrison redo his Boba Fett lines, because he's lacking so much personality, it's laughable. The older voice was much better. Now that we know Boba Fett will have to sound like that, he could at least do the lines much better.

I think this is all because the DVDs seemed very rushed. Originally I don't think the Original Trilogy was gonna be released on DVD until after Episode III came out. But, since the demand was so high, they came out last September. I think it shows that it was rushed, especially in Return of the Jedi. Some messed up lightsaber effects, not as good picture and sound, stuff like that. All of that should be fixed. Just make all episodes, I - VI, similar in CGI quality, lightsaber quality, picture, and sound quality, and include all of their deleted scenes on a bonus disc, and I'll be happy.

I think I saw Episode V in its newest form today. I've never seen it with this good picture quality. I also saw the Emperor for real this time, and he felt like he did in Episode III. Last time I checked they used a crappy imitation of the Emperor with a woman with a lot of make-up on. I saw A New Hope yesterday, but it didn't seem that new. Had great picture quality, but the saber effects still had weird green sparks when the Lightsabers were not even green.

If so far what I've seen is from the Star Wars Trilogy DVD-set, I am quite disappointed. I also noticed how they changed Boba Fett's voice, which sucked.

Pehaps for the Saga box-set?

I agree with improved CGI Quality - a couple of CG bits have been added/removed and some lightsabres have been massively improved. The box set seems...unfinished.

Also, i think Temuera Morrison should redoo all his lines (not just Boba Fett), the stormtrooper he did was also a bit...dull

Im talking about the one:
"Close the blast doors. Close the blast doors"
*han and chewie go througl blast doors. Doors close
"Open the blast doors. Open the blast doors.

It's getting annoying with Lucas constantly changing the classic original trilogy. Frankly he needs to make up his mind on what he wants to do instead of re-releasing the OT again and again just to add a little bit to it.

Temuera Morrison didn't do any voices for the Stormtroopers. That "Close the blast door!" was added for the Special Edition, and the "Open the blast door! Open the blast door!" has always been there. Though, I agree that he should re-do Boba Fett's lines. The boxset just feels really rushed, especially in Return of the Jedi, and hopefully the rumored saga boxset in 2007 will be better.

And seriously, Otaking, what has George Lucas added to this boxset that he could've added to the Special Edition? The only things he's added are the Ian McDiarmid Emperor, which he possibly could've done in 1997, but the prequels weren't being made yet. Since Ian McDiarmid had to get back into Emperor makeup for Episode III, they used the opportunity to add him into the hologram scene with Vader in Episode V. They added Temuera's voice to Boba Fett, which they couldn't have done in 1997 because Episode II wasn't made until 2002, they added Naboo to the ending montage in Episode VI, which they couldn't have done in 1997 because Episode I didn't come out until 1999, and they added Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker's ghost, which they couldn't have done in 1997 because he likely wasn't chosen for the part of Anakin Skywalker till at the earliest, 2000. So, what has George Lucas done that shows that he simply "can't make up his mind" with these new releases? Those are the only additions, and the rest of the stuff has just been video and sound improvements.

Yeah. Greedo and Han Solo are probably the most laughable of his edits.

It was fine for me. I'm one of those guys who found the Anakin edit at the end a little ugly, but I can live with it. Graphically, it didn't feel too horrible or groundbreaking. I've never seen the original versions, so I can't really say much on my account.

For me, it was alright. The special effects editing and whatnot was a minor improvement, and the add-ons...alright. I didn't mind the Hayden Christensen at the end, but I hardly noticed the improvements.

Yep, I agree. I thought the improvements were fine, and it's not like Han Solo was replaced or the whole story was changed. Those edits improved the movie but didn't do anything that helped the plot, which is fine with me.

It didn't really help the movie. Hardcore fans like the original to get that full nostalgic dose. I mean, what would you rather play for those kicks, Master Quest or the original Ocarina of Time? Bad comparison, but eh, I think this is probably where all that hatred derives from.

You're right, it didn't really help the movie. Which is why I said I hardly noticed the improvements. But, for me, I could really careless, as long as I got to watch it again after I hadn't for a few years before.

Most of the changes don't further the plot - except for a few things, like the Hayden ghost and the new Emperor dialogue - but that's not their point. Lucas loves how technology advances and is afraid of his movies becoming obsolete. Most of the changes are visually, so that the movies will be as visually stunning as he wants them to be. They were so from 1977 - 1983, but he wants them to still be. When they're released again, I have no doubt that this will be the case.

He did, in the special edition his voice is quite deep, in the DVD he sounds just like Boba Fett

No, he doesn't. The Stormtrooper who says "Close the blast door!" and the other who says "Open the blast door! Open the blast door!" sound absolutely nothing like Temuera Morrison. They don't even have a New Zealandic accent. I suggest you watch that scene, and then watch any scene with Boba Fett talking. They're not the same people.

For starters how about the fact that he can't make up his has mind as to if he wants Luke to scream while falling from Bespin after getting his hand chopped off by Vader. It wasn't in the original release, then it was in for the Special Edition, then it was out for the DVD release. Then there is also all the characters that where added in during the scene in ROTJ when Luke falls into the Rancor pit. Also what dialouge he wants Morrison to say since in ESB Morrison does the voice of Fett, but in ROTJ he doesn't.

The Bespin scream is the only thing that shows that he changed his mind about something. But, it's not like the removal of the scream was the only change that was made to these DVDs, so it's negligible. What characters were added to the scene when Luke falls into the Rancor pit? There's one guy who looks rather CGIed, but I'd imagine he's been there since the Special Edition, and isn't new to the movies with the DVDs. And Boba Fett doesn't have any lines in Return of the Jedi, so there goes that argument.
