As long as Lucas is continually trolling his bread 'n butter, he may as well just:
- dub out any blaster in all 6 movies and make them flashlights and walkie-talkies, a la "E.T." - remove the Wilhelm Scream from every movie. - splice in some newly CG'd and re-purposed exposition to invalidate the "independent contractor" argument about the Death Star II from the movie Clerks, and do so using the Han/Jabba scene- only shooping in two stormtroopers instead of Han/Jabba*. - add the "DO NOT WANT!!!" subtitle to the added dialogue of that Palpatinie/Luke/Vader climax scene, as well as making a documentary on the meme it has become in the inevetable "Special Features" section. - make every instance of Slave Leia dressed more conservatively. Some space version of a birka or something. Yeah. - add 23 more minutes of pod racing. - ... to EVERY MOVIE. - add "Yakkety Sax" to the score over every embarassing death of every "bad ass" in the series (namely, Darth Maul, Mace Windu, and Boba Fett). - one more slapdash expositon explaining that Hayden Christiansen didn't REALLY kill all those kids. You know, like the offscreen "he's okay and gonna live" business from the G.I. Joe (cartoon) movie. *I just now saw that if you say that aloud, it sounds like "Handjob". It wasn't on purpose, but now that I see it, I'm not changing it! |

At this point I almost wish Lucas would just remake the damn thing so that the originals are left alone.

Has there been a box set of all the movies released yet on DVD?
I haven't jumped on the Blu-Ray Bandwagon yet (still a DVD guy), but I am a HUUUUUUGE Star Wars fan (even love the prequel movies), but I always put off buying those two trilogy boxsets that were released a few years back because I was waiting/hoping for a box set with all six movies and a billion extras. Has this happened yet? I only have the original trilogy VHS boxset when they were re-released back in 1997 or whenever it was. |

There's a 200 gb 1080p 6.1 version of this. Should I bother?

What's your ISP, G? 200 GB seems like a lot to burn on anything, but when my monthly cap is 250, it's downright suicide.

i have the same 250 cap (comcast). with onlive, i've had to start monitoring it since i didn't do too much heavy downloading before. i bought the blu set, so i won't be downloading this. just wanted to see what the difference between his link and the m2ts link of it i have that is only 24 gigs.
typing with one hand, so excuse the lack of capitalization. |

Comcast sucks. I use half my bandwidth on a typical month, and almost all of it's legal (streaming music, Netflix, gaming). I downloaded like, two PDFs this month that weren't strictly legal, but otherwise.... |

Its his movie he can do whatever he wants to it, and if he wants to he should. The whole things existed in his imagination before it ever existed on screen, so if he feels that he would like to make changes to it he has ever right to do so. If Da Vinci wanted to go back and paint a mostache on the Mona Lisa he should be able to. If Shakespear wanted to go back and write a wedding scene between Romeo and Juliet he should.
I know you all realize that he has the right to do all of these things because it is his property, just saying it for those of you who don't realize this fact. Of course that doesn't mean what he's doing makes the films better. But for those of you that get bent out of shape just pretend these additions don't exist. |

My little brother is big into Star Wars, and went over all of the changes with. My question to him was why. I mean, I get there's always room for cleaning some things up here and there, but adding CGI modeled characters into the original films, where seemingly everthing in them is tangible, does seem a bit silly, especially since the originals still stand up pretty well, all things considered.
Personally, I don't care one way or the other. If Lucas wants to change them, by all means he has the right to do so, and these are selling no matter what he does to them. |

No one is disputing his right to change things. Just whether he should

Regardless of whether they're grounded in anything. Since Empire and Jedi weren't what he imagined, does that negate the fucktard's point? |

I actually enjoy the changes. I watched 4 and 5 last night, and it was fun looking out for the new stuff.
