Aleggy Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 for me the original didn't really need tampering with although i'll admit some of the changes mad where good there were also some very bad changes i.e. in the original star wars Han Solo shoots Greedo under the table in the special edition Greedo shoots first and misses at point blank range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illuzion69 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I have to vote for the special edition on vhs but it's nearly tied with the original. I liked the s.e. because of the additronal footage that wasn't able to be put into the original, like Jabba talking to Han and especially the robot that smackes the little robot but there were downsides as well like you said, Han & Greedo and they changed too much in the dvd's like adding the younger Annikin at the end.

RedHawke Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 [sarcasm] My favorite ones are all the ones with Jar Jar in em'. [/sarcasm] Actually I like all the Star Wars movies and all the versions of them, only 2 things bug me... The prequel Midichlorian schlock! And in OT Han Solo not shooting Greedo first, that is utter BS!! That one scene in the cantina defined Solo's character, that and his non-chalant attitude leaving the cantina afterward, casually tossing some credits to the bartender and saying "sorry about the mess" this stated to us who he really was as a scoundrel type.

FiEND_138 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Originally posted by Achilles Check this out... Interesting................. Can't say I have any real problems with either new editions. I very much so dig the clarity of the DVD's. Not so much into Lukes color changing saber in ANH or Vaders pink saber. Pretty much indifferent to the added/touched up CGI. & I don't really care about Hayden in RotJ, it is a bit of a 'shake you up' seeing him there, but nothing I can't get use'd too. Finally the true Sidious is in ESB!!! About time, should have been corrected in the SE's. Greedo shooting 1st....... Doesn't impact me one way or the other. So, I guess I don't mind the changes, it is the decision of the artist to change/destroy his work. Films/Arts are never completed, just released........ Being, none of the poll options fit my opinion, I'll just skip this vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I really don't care who shot first either. I just wish that if GL was going to change it up, he could've at least made it look better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I still love the originals, but dispite the changes, the DVDs are too good to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOutrider Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I like the original trilogy. P.S.Did you know theres a little rodian kid named greedo in The Phantom menace who was anakins friend, I think they were the same people. BTW RedHawke in the remastered Greedo tries to shirt first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiEND_138 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 P.S.Did you know theres a little rodian kid named greedo in The Phantom menace who was anakins friend, I think they were the same people. Yep, well maybe. If your talking about the rodian jumping around at the end of the pod race then no, thats not Greedo. If your talking about the deleated scene where Anakin tries to kick a rodians teeth down his throat (hmm do rodians have teeth?), then yeah thats Greedo. *Takes off his Geek Hat* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingerhs Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 original trilogy. but, as with most things, change is inevitable. if you want to get nitpicky, then don't do it around me. thanx. THEY CHANGED BOBA FETT'S VOICE IN TESB!!!! oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleggy Posted October 15, 2004 Author Share Posted October 15, 2004 the problem is some changes were good some were bad i mean the scene in where han solo walks on jabba's tail is a mixture coz the scene itself was needed for the story so the fact that they had han solo walking behind jabba was a problem and having him step on his tail did look bad but i can forgive that because the addition of the scene was a good idea as it adds to the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that the PT are bad or anything, which they are not, the OT just has an extra character spark that the PT doesn't, the PT are far more visually stunning than the OT was, but that is just simple progress.

Aleggy Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 apparently polls can get shut down for spamming recently Achilles held a poll about polls getting out of control and because we used that thread to discuss it we got accused of spamming and his poll has been locked this is a warning to everone and i would like to take a moment of silence in respect to the death of Achilles poll in respect to Achilles who i thought was making a very valid point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiEND_138 Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 ^^ Agrees but what can ya do... Maybe I should make a poll discussing female Revans cup size in honor of Achilles dead commentary. Just kidding mods, I wouldn't do that. You've made your feelings clear... Originally posted by Com Raven And seeing how I am from germany, where censorship has a long and proud tradition.. That did crack me up though... [/Topic] I like them all. Equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
