Young David Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 There will be a special edition of the special edition in 2005. Why? Because mr. Lucas told so ... Here's a piece from theForce.net of what mr. Lucas said: "The movie will be darker than Episode 1. Episode 3 will be darker still. Episode three will be darker still." "Episode three, I believe, is written... and some shots have already been filmed for episode three." "Lucas reports that he shot additional scenes for the original films." "They will be used to insert into the first three movies to sort of make the complete version of the Star Wars story, some time in the middle of this decade." "He(Lucas) intends to take twenty years off after the release of Episode 3. He would then be 80 years old at the time that he might think of makeing a 7,8, and 9 and he says don't count on it." "He says that we will leave the theartre feeling like we have experienced a great deal, we might be a little sad, we should however feel very good about the love story part of it."
Guest Kudar Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 They will be used to insert into the first three movies to sort of make the complete version of the Star Wars story, some time in the middle of this decade." Great more rubbish added into the films They totally ruined the original trilogy when they released those crappy special editions............
Paragon_Leon Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 I believe the Special Editions added a great deal. The XWing-battle at the end of ANH was amazing. The Wampa sequence was nice and... who didn't gaze in awe at Jabba ? The new scenes confirm to me what i thought about a long time ago. Lucas will have to make some twists to make the movies flow into each other more seamlessly. But: does that mean he'll shoot scenes with people wearing a 70's haircut ?
Guest Kioet Csuhen Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 hey, i'll be 23 then! cool! the special editions rule! cmon, those dewbacks and rontos were awesome and so was cloud city and the death star explosions and alderaan explosion!
Paragon_Leon Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 2005... then i'll be.. 32 ! And possibly a dad... the prospect... whew. Having extra scenes put in AFTER Ep 3 means we'll get to see the whole thing as it's meant to be later and later..
Guest Tie Guy Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 I really like the Special Editions, thats the only Star Wars i know, since the first time i saw the full SW it was in the theatre for ANH Special Edition. Hopefully by 2005 they wuill have some really cool new technology that makes the movies look even more impressive, i can only imagine....
Guest Hannibal Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 He's trying to make us forget about the inaccuracies!! Don't forget!!! Never forget!!!
Guest xwing guy Posted November 17, 2001 Posted November 17, 2001 I liked the special editions, I mean, who didn't?
Guest Bifficvs Posted November 17, 2001 Posted November 17, 2001 I didn't like the whole Greedo shooting first....Han is a rugged pirate who finally softens up to join the Rebellion. But now....he's just another hero type. Bah!
Guest xwing guy Posted November 17, 2001 Posted November 17, 2001 Why, I didn't find anything wrong with the Greedo shooting.
Guest Bifficvs Posted November 17, 2001 Posted November 17, 2001 See, for me, the whole point of that is Han being a bad ass, just shooting greedo to take care of business..but changing that, so han doesn't look like a bad guy or whatever, is all bantha poo doo.
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted November 17, 2001 Posted November 17, 2001 Who knows, maybe Lucas will make Han shoot first in 2005... We can always dream They'll probably take this opportunity to release the original trilogy in DVD format. Maybe a 6+ DVD set including every six episodes? You know you want it...
EndSub Posted November 17, 2001 Posted November 17, 2001 I really liked the special edition.....It really brought the triology into the 21st Century......hopefully the special, special edition will bring it into the 22nd
Guest WC_heavyarms Posted November 17, 2001 Posted November 17, 2001 I'd like to see a S.E. of the S.E. And doesnt Lucas have a son that could make new ones? He could also write his ideas down.
Guest Hannibal Posted November 17, 2001 Posted November 17, 2001 For all we know Star Wars could be in commercials 30-40 years from now. Lucas' kids could have Darth Vader in beer commercials like "The Duke". Or vacuum commercials like Fred Astaire. What were their kids thinking?

It would suck if he started to make 7, 8, and 9, but then died after making 8!

But now....he's just another hero type. Bah! Funny you should say that...that was pretty much my one problem with the Special editon. Greedo's aim was too far off to look realistic.

Guest HVAC Posted November 18, 2001 Posted November 18, 2001 My only problem with the special ecitons were ROTJ the song seen in jabbas palace and the ending ewoke song i think they ruined the best of ROTJ. the other 2 were perfect though!

It would suck if he started to make 7, 8, and 9, but then died after making 8! That made me think about a classic composer who never finished his last symphony before he died... I think it was Beethoven, but I'm not sure... Gee, you would've asked me the name five years ago, and I would have the answer right away. I need to keep in check with History...
