I'll buy that for a dollar!

Greedo should have a bigger fanbase.

Animalor · Post by **Animalor** » May 4, 2006, 2:48 pm

I'm waiting for the set with all 6 movies together.

Personally, I don't really give a rat's ass if Han shot first or not, he's the one that was still alive at the end of it.

FYI for those of you that would buy that for a dollar, the price I saw on mentioned on slashdot.org this morning was $200. For my money, $200 is fucking ridiculous.

Aslanna · Post by **Aslanna** » May 4, 2006, 4:47 pm

$200 would be ridiculous. I wouldn't blame fans for finding those via 'alternative' means. I was thinking like $75 or something. George must be running low on funds.

masteen · Post by **masteen** » May 4, 2006, 5:49 pm

$200 for 3 fucking movies? That's absurd.

noel · Post by **noel** » May 4, 2006, 5:59 pm

Just what I read on /. no idea if it's real or not, I don't care enough to investigate.

Have you heard about what was done to Star Wars Galaxies? My guess is that the LucasArts income was down

Each movie package is $30 each according to this article. So (by the power of math!) you're looking at ~$100 for the trilogy. Still fairly expensive for three movies.

I imagine they planned on doing this the entire time. Love em or hate em, Lucas plays his market like no other.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » May 5, 2006, 3:25 am

They're free off the newsgroups if you had no choice and had to buy the revised crap! Fuck Lucas!

The special editions are better anyway. Fucking retarded elitism over the "originals" gets my goat. If you're that bothered you should be watching yellowed copies on VHS because colour corrected THX DVD versions aren't "authentic" either.

Vaemas · Post by **Vaemas** » May 5, 2006, 8:09 am

From what I read earlier, the $30 each isn't a bad deal. Here's why:

Each title will go out as a two-disc set with a suggested retail price of $29.95.

The original versions are being presented as "bonus material" on disc two of each package. Disc one will duplicate the material already in the 2004 box set.

Since I never bought Episode IV - VI, I guess it's a win-win for me.

Fash · Post by **Fash** » May 5, 2006, 11:27 am

It's a pretty bad deal to wait till september to spend $100 for the 'bonus material' on a specific reprinting of the special edition most of these people already bought.

Animalor · Post by **Animalor** » May 5, 2006, 11:29 am

Hmm. I may actually get this one as I never bought the 2004 version either.

masteen · Post by **masteen** » June 7, 2006, 8:31 pm

I fucking hate George Lucas so much.

Instead of remastering for DVD, the originals are simply rips of the 1993 laserdiscs. 2 channel audio, and no anamorphic widescreen. The same versions you can already download off the newsgroups.

Yeah, he's a fucking cocksucker.

For the most part I agree. There's a few scenes tho, that my god, why oh why. The song in Jabba's palace is one. It's worse than Jar-Jar 100x over. And as cliche as it is, the Han shot first controversy also pisses me off. Why change that you fucking douche? Grr. But yes, the majority of changes are fine in my book.

There was always a song in Jabba's palace and it had some of the worst puppetry in the series associated with it. So I can see why it was changed for a different crappy song. The crappy song scales are balanced however, by the removal of the "jub jub" ewok victory song at the end.

I preferred Han shooting first. I agree it was pointless changing it. But it's 1.5 seconds out of 3 entire movies. I got over it.

Dregor Thule · Post by **Dregor Thule** » June 8, 2006, 12:54 pm

The new band is totally off as far as the "feel" of the star wars movies. At least the old, poor puppetry didn't look like cartoons >< The song they sang was also much more in the background and not some up front musical bit they threw in like it was a freaking Disney movie.

Also, the blue anteater guy playing the piano thing rocked my socks.

Funny really, because that's almost what you're getting with the new ermm old Star Wars trilogy. Rips from anamorphic laser discs for $100?

George doesn't even have the common decency to give you a reach-around.

Same box set release with new 'features'...I think I would rather buy a laserdisc player and the discs at some garage sale than that.

I have the original Star Wars on Laserdisc and still have my player! Not sure if it still works or not though.

Only the coolest of people had laserdics and flipped those discs for the sake of picture quality!
