Star Wars Original Trilogy Petition
See this is the real problem, I can't watch the OT on DVD. I could forgive Lucas for all his trangressions, if he would just realease both versions of Star Wars, the OT and the SE. Then I would have no problem. I would still think he is stupid, but I would be happy. And yes he is a good business but he is making a bad decision by not releasing both. He stands to make a ton of money because a lot of people will buy both versions. Plus he is also trying to rewrite history. Everyone knows that VHS tapes fall apart and degrade. So in the future when I show my future children Star Wars, they will only be able to see the special edition. That is all they will know. Sure I can tell them what it was like, but it will not be the same. And in my humble opinion the SE's are inferior films and are not what we all saw. They were not the films that were originally released. I mean get over yourself Lucas, so you can't always get what you want, they are still great movies that changed the world. Get over it an move on. Come on Lucas just realease the fricken DVD versions we all really want. I am also proud to say I do not own Ep01 or Ep02 on DVD and I never will. As far as I am concerned there are only three Star Wars movies.

Roseanne Roseannadanna lucasheater_05,
With you on this one, I don't own episode I or II and not planning on buying them. Saving the cash for other DVDs. If Lucas ever releases the original trilogy on DVD, that I would buy. Best, Lance Man LOL! I didn't think anyone saw it. Made an editorial decision and replaced it with rolling eyes... ![]() And that's the rub. If he wants to keep reworking his films so that they're all one happy saga, go ahead. If he wants to insert characters from THX-1138 into the film, fine, but how about releasing the originals so that those of us who just want Star Wars, can get Star Wars and not the "Super-Duper, I'm Finished For Now, The Ranch Worked Overtime On this One" edition? Here are two other examples: Star Trek II and Superman: The Movie... Star Trek II Released to DVD: Yes Number of releases: 2 Expected rerelease? None Star Trek II was originally released on DVD years ago by Paramount in it's original theatrical form. A couple of years later, they decided to juice up the "Special Edition" by having the director insert scenes that were originally removed for whatever reason (pacing, continuity flaws). The new cut was of interest because, over the years, television networks had been showing different cuts of the film; ABC had their extended version, and I believe a network in Europe had a longer one. Basically, it was a novelty, and of mild interest. The point I am making is that the original HAD been released and can be seen. Superman: The Movie Released to DVD: Yes Number of releases: 1 Expected rerelease? None Warner Brothers, also interested in juicing up what they thought was an "older" movie, asked director Richard Donner to reinsert scenes that many people had seen on television. Problem was that there was an issue with the sound, most notably the sound effects. So, they went back and redid them. Now I've seen this film a hundreds of times (and I still have time for a life! ![]() Donner, for example, had a thunderous metal "CLANG!" over the score when his name came up in the credits (an FU to WB, methinks), and later on, when Superman goes beserk over the death of who-know-who, he dumps a thunderclap OVER Reeve's screams. It was the other way around before and it hurts the scene. The Superman: The Movie that I knew has never been released on DVD, nor do I think it will be. They skipped the basic release and went straight for the more marketable "Specal Edition". So if you like Star Trek II, you're golden (and yes, I wish they had released the first Star Trek untouched too). The best of both worlds are available to you. Superman? Nope. And no one seems to care. Why? Because they got their candy. Star Wars goes waaaaay beyond this. It's never finished beceause the director, as much as I appreciate his zeal is trying to create an epic mythology, doesn't know when to quit (well, except the part where we were supposed to have nine movies instead of six, but I digress). The IMDb listing twenty years from now is going to read: Star Wars (1977, 1997, 2005, 2007, 2012...) Doesn't that seem a little pathetic? The IMDb will probably list the last release date, but it's a real concept. What if you were a film history teacher? What year did Star Wars come out? '77? '97? Yesterday? It's not meant to be a melodramatic "pathetic", but a real pity towards the mass opinion that as long as they get their candy, people think that film revisionist history is okay. [/rant] Gary

I think a great solution would be for Lucas to release the first three SW movies in double disc form -- an original print and Special Edition for each movie. If Speilberg can issue a double disc for ET, Lucas can do the same for SW. Maybe since Steve and George are buds, Steve can convince him to do the right thing. BTW, has anyone bought the ET double DVD yet?

Patty: If Rayanne's not seeing you, and we're not seeing you, who is seeing you? Graham: And how much of you? Angela: Dad! Graham: Oh, I'm sorry! I asked a question about your life, didn't I? Woah, what came over me? http://www.last.fm/user/TomSpeed/
Goddamn! Over 4000 bucks raised for the kid. Gary, set up that camera! I have a fanboy movie to make. I'm going to be an internet star baby!!! ![]() Speaking of Star Wars...Speaking of Star Wars, has anyone seen A Galaxy Far Far Away?
It's a cool little documentary on the Star Wars phenomenon. It offers insights into the attraction of Star Wars, without mocking the hard core fans, (even though some of the people who were interviewed were rather quirky). It's funny, intelligent, and that hottie ![]() ![]()
Awww, now the Star Wars kid is suing the parents of the kids who put the video online!

I am surprised nobody has posted this info here yet. It seems that the pseudo-OT will be coming out on DVD by the end of this year. I don't know if they will be the special editions or a new extra special edition (i am guessing the latter), but they will definitely not be the theatrical release versions of the OT

Don't jump the gun and order it though, from what I have heard this place charges you from the time you order...sounds familiar huh? ![]() ![]() As much as I would like to say that I won't buy them...I know I will, I can't help it ![]()
