Anyone?

I already own a VHS set and a gang of DVDs. Plus i kinda dont care anymore.

A New Hope is kinda gritty in the first place - I dont feel like i need an upgrade.

What are the upgrades at this point after he done fucked it all up with the added CGI shit?

From the DVD to the BlueRay did Lucas and them tinker even more for this presentation or is it just the DVD versions cleaned the fuck up?

I dont think i need another making of and/or interview.

Please to not be on some lazy Jar Jar Binks Onion level joke steez.

    more tinkering. biggest is Vader yelling "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" as he throws kills the Emperor in Jedi (callback to Revenge of the Sith, which nobody actually wanted). There are a few other little things. I think I'm done buying Star Wars until the untouched original trilogy gets a decent release. This is strictly Netflix for me.

    Was the "NOOOOOooooo" on the last DVD release? Or is it in autotune for the BR?

    I think the versions on the DVD:s I have are the originals. Not without "Episode 4" (Not THAT OG) but without stupid CGI shit sticking out like a sore thumb at least. So, not bothered with this. A good looking box, though.

    They released the OG theatrical editions along with the special editions in this tin DVD boxset a few years back.

    Yeah, those are the ones I have, as separate DVD:s though. Euro only, probably.

    Fuck Lucas. Such a hypocrite... While there were a couple of changes that didn't bother me. Most did.


    At least Spielberg came to his senses.

    Anyone ever sell/trade toys?

    I have ton of SW toys that I've been meaning to sell for years. Shit takes up way too much space and was worth more in '95.


    I got Blue Snaggletooth for trade if anyone is interested.

    This fucking rules.

    And no, Lucas will not be getting any more of my money until he decides to release the original, untouched trilogy on some newfangled medium.

    Clearer,sharper and alot of the dvd changes make the backgrounds look more realistic. Mos eisley looked like a cardboard and sand fort in 77, in 97/04/11 releases it seems real. Overall the story doesnt change ,just blink when greedo shoots and han is still awesome.

    These came out in the US, but they were shitty, non-anamorphic, non-remastered rips of the laserdiscs.

    Best way to watch Star Wars is on VHS, recorded off of early 1980's television in shitty, low-saturation color with commercial breaks intact. Special Edition belongs in the fucking toilet.

    See I think the cardboard looking sets are part of the appeal.
    Why try and make some Sesame Street shit look like it was made in 2015?
    U can gloss up up only so much before it loses that man-made feel.

    Off The Wall > Thriller

    it was a sad day in my childhood when my dad decided to tape over the only camcorder footage of me and my sisters as kids with a niners playoff game.

    question

    should Aanakin be mad tall since Darth Vader is like 7 feet or like 6'8"?

    or did they add height when he got turned into a cyborg?

    My friend Matt Quinn (NY based artist) created this one of a rather large friend of ours:





    The piece was called "Captain Lou" and if you put on the headphones you'd hear, of course, Cyndi Lauper.
