It's the reason I still have a VHS player in 2012.

Don't need them, I got the DVDs (which I don't even watch anymore). Depite the alterations and flaws, the Blu-rays are still the movies. But yeah, I miss the wolfman with the sock puppet alien.

Yeah, have those too. But they are only slightly better quality...

with the stabilization and anamporphic-itization script, and the old mix, its pretty much heaven....
Among all the things I have done in my short and pitiful life, becoming an inside joke on JWFAN is the one I'm the least proud of.

Han "shooting first" was inspired by the scene in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly where Tuco shoots the guy from under the bubbles in the bathtub. It is all so clearly modeled on a western gunglinger flick, but set in an alien world. There is obviously no way that Lucas ever originally intended the scene to be the way it currently plays out.
Lucas has apparently unlearned what he had learned, but in a terrible way.

Not surprising Lucas is back peddling on the issue. I wish he would be like Steven Spielberg and release the THEATRICAL versions of the Original Trilogy on HD with proper remastering done to it. The Library Of Congress has a copy for historical reasons. Unless Lucas had those pulled they should still be there.

Congress has the special editions. Lucas destroyed every last theatrical print, apparently.

If LLL or Intrada got to release the music, I bet Lapti Nek and Yub Nub would be embargoed from appearing.

That would be quite rude, considering Jedi Rocks was not written by the Williams', but by Jerry Hey!

Mad man!
The National Film Registry should suspend the SEs from the library since they are not the originals.

Do you guys think that when the theatrical versions of the original trilogy will be rereleased (because, let's face it, they will be), the new generation of fans will moan about Greedo not shooting first?

No, because everyone knows about the changes. No good parent would raise their children believing that.

Your faith in good upbringing is touching, if a little naive.

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

I have zero faith in humanity. Your lack of faith in the craziness of original Star Wars fans is touching, if a little naive.

To say Han "shot first" is misleading.
Han shot. Greedo never got a chance to. There was no second shooter.

Again Stefan - 2007. The 2007 DVDs had the laserdisc masters as a bonus disc. Not the 2004 DVDs.
