Everay · 2004-09-20, 12:30 PM

yes and it doesnt matter, yes because it is approved by him, but it doesnt matter because hes let EU conflict with the movies before.

Anything in EU is canon, the line of Canon goes something like this.

Movies > Books > Comics > Toys > Games

I know I messed something up there, but that's how the priority goes.

Unfortunately, Lucas likes to **** with book authors and totally conflict with their books in the prequels.

Uh....yeah I plan on buying it. Believe it or not, I like the tweaked movies...(the orange blob under Luke's land speeder always annoyed me). I also understand that the DVD's got a few tweak nerfs. Luke screaming as he is falling in ESB is eliminated (thankfully).

Next, I also liked TPM. Provided some back story for 4, 5, and 6. Vader (Anakin) seeing his son die is reminscent of seeing his mother die (and in ROTS...well that might be a spoiler). Also, Attack of the Clones, the whole love issue with Padme is probaly what affects Vader in ESB. Where Boba Fett draws his blaster rifle during the Han Solo and Leia love scene (Chewbacca is going nuts), Vader push's Fett's rifle down. Hence the very things that turn Anakin in Vader, are also the things that bring Vader back.

Would DiCaprio be better?

I have to admit....Lucas didn't do to good of a job of casting Anakin Skywalker for AOTC.

That, or he couldn't "find" the right person and said "ahh..fuck it".

Hayden just sounds like a whiney bitch in most of AOTC....but before I pronounce judgement as Hayden being the Ultimate 2nd Worst Charachter, I'm going to wait for Revenge of the Sith....who knows, maybe thats the role that won over Lucas. I'll wait and see. Then say he suxx0rz

i'm sorry, but there's no way Hayden Christenson can be Darth Vader no matter when or where or what or who happens. Darth Vader is so bad ass they had to get a black guy with a ridiculously deep voice to do his lines! (James Earl Jones) Hayden couldn't fill darth vader's nut cup in a million years. terrible casting work, mr. Lucas.. terrible.

What was your favorite part of the tweaked movies?

- Greedo shooting first, maybe? (made no sense)
- Han/Jabba Scene, perhaps? (Once again, no sense)

What do you think you're going to like about these "Special-er" editions?

- Hayden Christensen digitally replacing the old Anakin's ghost? (Makes no sense and makes a gigantic plot hole)
- Changes to the Emporer/Vader conversation that makes it sound like Vader doesn't know he stole Amidala's virginity?

I have no problem with cleaning up things. The orange blob under the speeder, the windows in cloud city, that's all a-ok in my book. But when you go ****ing with the movie and COMPLETELY DIGITALLY EDITTING PEOPLE OUT OF MOVIES, that's when you cross the line.

EDIT:

Oh, and what were your favorite parts of the prequels?

- The gigantic plot holes they create
- Maybe the "romance" scenes which incorporated lines including "I don't like sand"
- Perhaps the entirely CGI'd battles?

Sorry for being so blunt, but I feel VERY strongly about this.

oddfish · 2004-09-20, 07:28 PM

cleaning up the visual effects and occasionally adding a nifty little cut doesn't hurt the movie. what hurts is when Lucas gets all giddy and starts going CGI crazy, raping movies that were already essentially perfect to begin with.

on that note, what's everyone's favorite episode? Mine's ESB.. I think it's the best in oh-so-many ways.

ChewyLSB · 2004-09-20, 07:33 PM

OT ESB was definately my favorite out of the six (I guarantee that RoTS will not touch ESB), followed by ANH, and finally, RoTJ.
