Dissapointment in the Star Wars DVD's

And the scene when Luke takes of Vader's mask. That's another cool scene, that, thank God, Lucas didn't alter and destroy.

i always liked return of the jedi te best. the beginng scene is awesome and the luke and vader fight was what i was waiting for since i first saw A New Hope and the fight didnt dissapoint me at all.

Jedi has always been my favorite too, but almost anyone on this site will tell you that Jedi is "Just a bunch of Muppets".

bologna.

Jedi is my least favorite. I still love it though, but the ewoks, combined with the UBER lame musical number in the palace put it at the bottom of the pile for me... Empire is my favorite, as it is more dark and operatic... A New Hope is also a five star film...

A new hope was awesome but i think it was the worst. they just kept getting better IMO

I like Empire all the way vs. A New Hope & Jedi.

Though My favorite part in all three films is the battle on Jabba's Sail Barge.

Star Wars: A new Hope

The real title of episode IV. Most people dont realize it though.

The score over that scene was the BEST!!! The beats that build up the tension before all hell breaks loose (to be cliche) adds to it immensely.

It was a subtitle to the original film, and only added after Lucas decided to make a trilogy, in fact he only stopped calling it 'Star Wars' quite recently. In interviews about the new trilogy, I think.

For instance, one of the original posters -




A cover from the Special Edition release (from only around 10 years ago) -



When I first saw it, the movie was Staw Wars and that's what it's gonna remain, no matter how many times Lucas does his Stalin impression.

Yeah, i have that poster on my wall. And i think its fine that he decided to add the subtitle to it. Oh and the SE release was only 7 years ago. (ish)

Aye, I was confusing the SE editions with the THX video releases from around 10 yrs ago. I remember trooping to the cinema to watch it thinking, "More Tie Fighters!"

Wrong.

I didn't quite like the idea of adding Hayden at the end of Jedi, not really needed, quite uncalled for!

Yeah, i thought that was a little overdone myself.

But you have to give credit when credit is due. Where else can you see a StormTrooper tossing a midget ewok round in the woods? That's a classic and I hope he never messes with that shot. Now if they start throwing Jawas around in Mos Eisley...*****, that would make my day.

I'd have to say my number one problem with these DVDs is the adding of Hayden Christensen to the ending scene and the changing of the finale song. When all the people are celebrating. I like the original song but, no. George=Gay. *Cough* Major Bumb*

That never grew on me either.

He looks totally unconnected to that scene, like an uninvited guest.

In a couple of years Lucaswill probably come out with The Ultimate Special Collectors Edition DVD Box Set. It'll have all six movie and a whole crap load of special features, like two or three different commentaries, deleted scenes from the original trilogy, and it may even have the originl films without the added scenes, who knows. Lucas will just try to make a quick buck and I will be one of those guys that buys it just like a lot of you.

Tell you the truth I wouldn't have had a problem if they would have replaced Obi-Wan as well. Or not having Hayden in there at all.
