Yeah, I'm a mindless fanboy, but that only applies to BioWare. I just tend to ignore stuff I don't like, ie Force Unleashed. Isn't worth my time to whine and moan about insignificant nonsense, but to each his own.
Lynk Former Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 That's why this place exists... just as long as the whining is about Star Wars or vidya instead of unimportant things like politics, its all good.
RC-2067 "Evo" Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I'm 15, and when I was little, we had the original VHSseses. The new Jabba's palace songs were good, but the animation just didn't fit. The only things that I liked that they changed are Ian McDiarmid in ESB, the song at the Ewok party, and Hayden Christiansen. Just about everything else made me gag. EDIT: Oh, yes. And Tamuera Morrison as Boba.

I mean, the music isn't really at fault, it's just that f****** cartoon character's solo at the end. Hell, compared to this guy I got nothing against Jar-Jar. lolplagarism
Q Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I've seen hotlink denial notices that looked, um, far worse than that.
Darth Avlectus Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 So have I, this one is actually funny compared to most out there. The other ones I have seen are either boring or something like "don't steal images f-tard" or "u just got pwnd for using images without permission mf'ing noob".
Alexrd Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 The Best on Blu-ray: Restoring the Star Wars Saga for the HD Generation This is looking great. And I was very pessimistic about it.
Astor Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 ^It's a great, and interesting read. It also great that they're showing some examples - and I'd never even noticed some of the defects mentioned in the article.
Lynk Former Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Here's some more: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/articles/starwarsbds/preview.html EDIT: Oh wait, nevermind... forgot someone already posted from a different source which I read anyway lol
DarthParametric Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I'll just leave these here.... [youtube=hd]eGaSxSuB2vY [youtube=hd]J0EUjobdavw
Lynk Former Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 If true... (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) But I'm sure like most everything else on the interwebz, we're all being trolled.
Alexrd Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I don't mind the new Ben' scream, nor the new Ewoks' eyes, Han unfrozen effect, or the new shot of Jabba's Palace gate. What I do mind is that awful 'no noo' from Vader, and the unfixed lightsabers. Why did they ignored that?
Astor Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I don't know, if these are actual scenes, and not just someone trying to cause a stir, Vader's noooo! bothers me far less than I thought it would when I read about it.
DarthParametric Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Lol the Obi-Wan thing is rape of a classic, pure and simple, but god damn if I don't piss myself laughing every time I hear it. I think I'll make it my new ringtone. Who would have thought Lucas was a comedy genius? Although I guess there was Howard the Duck.
Alexrd Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 DarthParametric said: Lol the Obi-Wan thing is rape of a classic, pure and simple, Well, these are the special editions, and this scream looks way more human than the last one.
DarthParametric Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 It's not meant to be human - it's meant to be a Krayt Dragon roar.

It's completely horrifying and hilarious at the same time.

Yeah, that's very likely the case, especially when one considers the uploader's comment: Quote NOTE: The video is not from the blu-ray, I just synced up the leaked audio clip with existing video. But, never fear. I have no doubt that George and his flunkies will provide us with more unnecessary stupidity and the controversy that it will generate. Count on it.

Astor Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Prime said: Jeez some of you guys are dramatic... Indeed. The enjoyment that Star Wars has given me over the years far outweigh any annoyance, anger or rage that I could ever feel about these supposed changes.
Lynk Former Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Prime said: Jeez some of you guys are dramatic... If they included the original theatrical versions of both the OT and PT with the full 6 movie Blu-ray set then I wouldn't have a problem with them changing anything and everything they want. Hell, if they want they can have Darth Vader riding a unicorn during his fight with Luke in Cloud City. The problem I have with these changes is the fact that it's essentially a revisionists history. It's like when the US single-handedly won both world wars and every other country did NOTHING. Of course thanks to the Internet we won't ever truly lose the original theatrical versions of these movies... but in the mind of the mainstream it'll be a forgotten memory.
TKA-001 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I'd like to know how many people here would actually buy this set if it was exactly the way and version they want it. Like, how many actually own a Blue-ray player, and whatnot. Also, what the hell's with the backdraft on Obi-Wan's crazy old-guy scream? It's arguably the best-done and most warranted change since the first round.
Q Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Oh, frak. It's true. All of it's freaking true. It's like he's deliberately stirring up controversy to sell more Blu-Rays. Oh, well. It's not like Lucasfilm was getting another dime of my money, anyway. Troll on, George.
