So how many of you are really THAT upset about the new Star Wars changes?

Yeah yeah... he's changed stuff yet again, but I'm still buying the Blu-Ray set come this Friday, because although I am a fanboy, I'm not a stuck up fanboy.

I'm not upset; I merely refuse to purchase.

I'm not.Because I'm sane.

i just dont care anymore

Everyone is overreacting over these small changes. If the (insane) fans don't like it, more power to them, they don't have to buy it.

I know I'm getting the blu-rays though. :D

[spoiler] ... As soon as I get money. [/spoiler]

i always suspected Aldeeran shot first

I'm not upset, and I personally like the extended editions of the movies better. It's a buy for me.

I don't buy movies anyway. I don't know why anyone would buy something they've probably already seen a million times and have previously owned on VHS and DVD...Dark__Link

Changing stuff is bad enough, he's tinkering with a classic, but what really bothers me is that they aren't releasing the original version of the film with only the cleanup work done (like making the crossbeam on the speeders solid instead of invisible and shaprening the picture quality). There's more than enough room on Blu-Rays to release the edited version where he rapes yet another Harrison Ford character AND the original version without Greedo shooting first, Jabba having his tail stepped on, all the needless inserted dialogue, and Hayden Christansen at the end.

You, sir, get a wookie-sized thumbs up.

The prequel trilogy already destroyed any interest I had in the IP. Also, Plinkett's reviews didn't help. Though, I'll still watch the unadulterated versions of the original trilogy. Which should have been what made it to Blu-ray. Greedo didn't even shoot.foxhound_fox

Can you even get those anymore? He released the first edited versions back on VHS, so it was before then that they were releasing the original version. I still have my original VHS tapes, but they're wearing out. Also, there are some changes I do welcome like the picture getting cleaned up and the little things getting fixed (I already mentioned the speeder windshields, the vasoline smudge under the landspeeder is another).

I don't really care. I already have all the movies on DVD special edition so I don't feel the need to get this.

I'm fine with the DVD Special Editon Trilogy I bought back in 2007. Plus I'm still not really doing Blu-Ray.

I'm only upset that he added the NOOOOs at the end of ROTJ. The only good scene in a pretty bad movie is now ruined.

I'm not sure which one is the worst - Episode 1 or ROTJ.

I wish the changes ended at fixing gaffs in the old movies, but they've gone so far into unnecessary additions that it's retroactively made me dislike many portions of the original trilogy. These blu-rays are just bastardizing the films even more. Silly little additions like putting more rocks in front of R2-D2 hiding in an outcropping (that are absent one cut later!) or toying around with added dialogue...what's the point? Lucas needs to look to Blade Runner to see how to do a film release. You can watch the theatrical one if you want. Or the remix. Or the director's cut. Or a work in progress.DJ_Lae

The second option. I don't really care, especially considering the price.

I skimmed through all of the Star Warses (eps I-VI) last weekend and while I'm not opposed to some CGI changes, I would have been more happy if the changed versions weren't *official* releases, if you know what I mean. Like if a talented effects artist (not George Lucas) were to strip out the space battles and insert awesome new original CGI scenes akin to BSG space battles as a Youtube project, there would be thousands of people (myself included) who would love to see that. Because it's all in good fun.

But because George is f***ing with what people loved for changes that *ruin* actual scenes all for the sake of *fixing* canon, it's not the same movie anymore. The blinking Ewok eyes I can live with. Extra rocks or background changes I can live with (I probably wouldn't have noticed in the first place). The stupid Obi Wan dragon call I can even live with. But if George should be fixing anything, he should recut the new trilogy so that it's actually watchable. Maybe remove Jar Jar from Ep I.

I'm fine with the DVD Special Editon Trilogy I bought back in 2007. Plus I'm still not really doing Blu-Ray.

and no I dont have a problem with the changes cause im not a star wars rabid fanboy :P

i just dont care anymore

This.

Star Wars is dead to me. After the prequels they ruined the series. I love the originals, thats it.

I don't like Star Wars so I could give a crap about the changes.ExoticAnimal

WTF is star wars?

But seriously what changes are they making to it? Is this to do with that 3D release of the original 3 or something?

I'm not sure which one is the worst - Episode 1 or ROTJ.

Seriously?

Just brought em today. So i guess I'm not that upset :P.

The new changes don't bother me. I'm not picking up the blu-ray because I still haven't purchased a single blu-ray movie. I'm just not convinced in 3-5 years it will be the dominant movie format. So I can't justify upgrading my entire DVD collection of 50+ movies.

Here is the thing:

People don't really mind the changes by themselves.

George Lucas is trying to keep a 70s movie fresh in modern times

However....

People do mind he is trying to erase the original, the clas sic that changed SciFi forever

The original series in its pure form is often what defined millions of peoples childhoods

And he wants it purgedfrom the earth,

bull ****** Lucas.

Its like if Spielberg re-released jaws and replaced Bruce with a CGI beast, and tried to hide the genre defying clas sic

or if they added CGI to Wizard of Oz to make it relevant

Give new generations the chance to look into cinema history

Give old ones chances to relive their childhood.

Just give the bloody unedited version already:evil:

I am more upset about how trashy, subpar and half assed the set is. Hopefully enough people complain to get it remastered like the Gladiator BD. Probably sticking with my DVDs if it doesnt.

Yeah yeah... he's changed stuff yet again, but I'm still buying the Blu-Ray set come this Friday, because although I am a fanboy, I'm not a stuck up fanboy.

Wasn't the NOOOOOOOOOOO fake?

I've seen the original trilogy many times. It wouldn't even make sense for me to buy them on DVD, because I'd watch them once and then they'd sit on the shelf forever.

Not interested in the Blu rays.

Do you have a link to see what these changes are all about? It bothers me that Lucas keeps editing them, leave them well enough alone! Has he ran out of new material that he has to keep going back to the SW money train??

Of the top 10 things that upset me, this is not one of them.

I want it, but only if I can watch them without stupid changes. Han shot first dammit, and there is no reason for Vader to scream NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO like an idiot.

I am going to buy the bluray of star wars.

Not a Star Wars fans but damn you guys are nuts.
