Mmm well after lookng through them,, the cleaned up film looks good but they've fucked over Jabba again in Star Wars and Darth Vader seems to have had a face lift at the end of Jedi..

Still I'm sure I will buy them.

I can't believe they have fixed my fave continuity error (Han's vest as he is being frozen in Carbonite in Empire)

now what am I going to point out to people to show how much of a sad geek I am?

In the original Star Wars Han shoots Greedo, not a problem. In the first special edition George felt it wasn't right so they added in Greedo shooting first, justifying why Han would shoot. I wouldn't have a problem with it, but it's such a shit looking shot.

It's good to see that some of the things have been 'fixed' for the better (realistic Jabba in ANH, aurebesh instead of English, nasty looking dianoga, better lightsabres, the fucking rancor finally).

But it bugs me a bit - when will it end? Will we have to

buy the ubersixdiscboxset to get the definitive definitive definitive vision. I welcome these changes, but still, is it going to happen upon every release?

And what's with retrspectively changing charred Anakin? To fit in with Ep III I suppose.

And if Greedo still shoots first, have they fixed that ugly shot?

And does Luke still scream like a girl?

And does Chewie think he's the king of the jungle still?

gah!

I don't care anymore.

I'll buy it out some weird sort of geek obligation, like I did with The Matrix 2 and 3, but I don't really care anymore.

It will never end as long as gullible fools (members of this forum excluded

) keep lapping up the revamped releases and continue to line the pockets of George 'lost it' Lucas.

And will he PLEASE REMOVE THAT BLOODY GIRLY SCREAM THAT LUKE EMITS AT THE END OF ESB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the special edition Greedo shot first but managed to miss at a distance of 1 meter. In the 2004 edition, they have made Han Solo dodge the shot, so that Greedo doesn`t seem like an unskilled n00b.

In the future, there will be custom-edited star wars DVDs made specificaly for each person who orders them.
It will match their tastes, their likes and dislikes, and will cost Â£500 each.

A lot of those edits sound pretty welcome, imo.
~sigh~
I know i should wait till after the 3rd film, but im going to have to get this.

Not to mention this:
