No problem. I was just amazed that an (apparently, mistakenly of course) older fan would prefer the new versions to the old (or not have seen the original versions!). Each to his/her own......  [Read More]

Wait, so when/how did Anakin learn it? And how did Qui Gon Jinn learn it in the first place? PS: You could have just said only those three Jedi cared about Luke enough to appear, but still. You see where I'm going with this? If it requires "...  [Read More]

I think this is the difference between WORDS and DEEDS. The only clue in the movies we have that Jedi would have any reservations about using the Force to attack or kill in battle is Yoda's statement "A Jedi used the Force for knowledge and def...  [Read More]

Hmm, so people are hacking this game now? Arggh. Pity that LucasArts seems to have abandoned this game. Will people complain? A patch is long overdue (but I've given up, sadly, though I would consider playing the game again if it were fixed up!).....  [Read More]

Okay, I have the new Limited Edition Star Wars DVD's, and I presume the "bonus content" on them is all exactly the same on all three. However, I was curious... lacking an Xbox, what is the demo of Lego Star Wars II on the bonus disc like?...  [Read More]

I was watching Star Wars synched with somebody's audio recording of the mono mix from 1977 (hard to synch because it's just an audio file playing in media player, while I can't mute powerdvd's sound stream only, so I have to just minimize it's sound...  [Read More]

They just don't buy it. :) Exactly! We either buy it, and go "omg this sucks, Lucas molested my inner child" or we buy it and go "well, it's not that bad, it could be worse, I am still grateful to Lucas, he's my daddy, etc" It's...  [Read More]

Yeah. It's just the feeling that I KNOW this could be better, and the suspicion that somebody did this just to spite fans while still taking their money, because they know we'll just buy the next version that comes out. Oh well. It is the best versio...  [Read More]

I still feel like this set (which I now own btw), is incomplete (from what it could have been, like including deleted scenes and other extras). But I also feel it is "broken" from what it should have been... Had the following been done, I'...  [Read More]

I think people wanting the original theatrical editions will enjoy these limited DVDs even though the video quality isn't all that great when compared to the cleaned up 2004 editions and isn't anamorphic. Still really enjoyable and a nice thing to ha...  [Read More]

I'd kind of like to see that. Have any pics of the D. Star plans? I think it would be cool to see SW in black and white but lightsabers, laser blasts, ship engines(i.e. the blue out the back of the falcon), force lightning, and things of that nature...  [Read More]

The original Phantom Edit cut out a few unnecessary scenes, speeding up the pace of the film. Jar Jar is sort of necessary, since he leads the Jedi to the Gungan city to get the Bongo sub to escape to the city of Theed. The later Edits are much be...  [Read More]

Well, I'm relieved, because I was sure it was gonna be the original versions until Kurgan here started talking about all this 1993 crud, then I started to get worried. Well, with all the crap they've pulled and all the versions floating around there...  [Read More]

Well, if any of you ladies do want the 1992-'95 versions just look around on the net for the laserdisc rips because thats where I, I mean a friend of mine:p, got them and put them on DVDs.:) C-3PO doesn't give the 7 locations thing. They just say s...  [Read More]

Yeah, it just looks slightly better, but still. Even though they could have done tons better, I want to have the best quality digital version of the original original trilogy, so that cinches it for me (even if I'm just paying into Lucas's money mach...  [Read More]

Yep. Too bad it's not anamorphic and lacks the original theatrical soundtracks. Now THAT would truly be the "purist" version of the new Millennium! Hopefully the fan editors will get to work with this new source material... ;)...  [Read More]

Not to nitpick (okay I guess I am), but Yoda wasn't in Episode IV (not even in the SE's!). ;) Otherwise I agree!...  [Read More]
Well the thing is Yoda IS old. He was a puppet in Episode V and VI, and so that to me is the "real" Yoda. Yes, it's true in Episode I it was a different puppet than was used in the classic trilogy, but still. It's like CG Jabba. Sure, the n...  [Read More]
Honestly I don't think CG Yoda would improve Episode I at all. Yes, it would appear more "consistent" with Episode II and III, but the puppet does so little (other than sit/stand there and talk) that it's really a waste. Second, while the m...  [Read More]

Yeah. I have decided to return them at the store I bought. Mainly because I think I may have rushed the purchase of the DVDs (as you may see, before I wasn't even close to think about purchasing them). And like I said before, I may just re-buy them i...  [Read More]
