JoeinAR 1,949 Posted September 20, 2002 Author Share Posted September 20, 2002 You both are weak spineless jellyfish. You both disgust me.Marian I am going to beat you with a stickDarthMatt since your new and I don't know you, but since you started so badly I guess I will just shoot you and get it over with.actually I want the Indiana Jones DVD set first and more.After TPM and AOTC, I am kind of burnt out on Star Wars, so letting some time pass, will help me recapture my appreciation for the original trilogy, plus I can expect the Indiana Jones trilogy without any of George Lucas' dirty touches.

DarthMatt 0 Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I heard not too far back that Spielberg was considering giving Raiders the special edition treatment that he gave to E.T. So wouldn't that give George Lucas the opportunity to ruin yet another trilogy with "enhanced digital effects" and "new sequences" with "never-before-seen footage"?

Luke Skywalker 1,803 Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I heard not too far back that Spielberg was considering giving Raiders the special edition treatment that he gave to E.T. So wouldn't that give George Lucas the opportunity to ruin yet another trilogy with "enhanced digital effects" and "new sequences" with "never-before-seen footage"?As you say, Spielberg idea. BUt if it ends up`wrong, LUcas Will get the bashing. I could bet on that.I'm starvong for the Superb special editions of Star wars. If indy is 'enhaced' (for me ) it will be welcomed.

Justin 2 Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 For those who couldn't decide: Come on people are you saying that if Lucas emailed you and asked you which should he release on DVD. You would say I can't descide and get neither one?Ok so this probably wouldn't happen but if it did... Justin -Who would have to say the Indy Trilogy.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 I only wantthe original versions of the "Star Wars" trilogy. I can't watch the changes made to them, especially "The Empire Strikes Back." But I guess if that's all that's offered, I'd probably sell out and buy it.I would like to have the Indy series on DVD soon, but I'm not pacing the room waiting for it.Jeff -- who is hoping for an isolated score on the "Star Wars" DVDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYPHER 1 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 I definitely want the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD first and that's the one I voted for. And never mind the fact I still don't have a DVD player yet - I'm working on it and should have one before the year's out which is pretty good going since I have almost zero income LOL . I haven't seen the Indiana Jones movies in ages, and have been hanging out to see them again, this time on DVD. But after so long I don't mind waiting another year or so. I already own too many copies of the Star Wars trilogy on VHS so it's not like I'm dying to see them again as such, but it would be nice to have them in a digital quality format and in widescreen too of course! I reckon after being made to wait for as long as we have, these babies should have so many extra features it's not funny. And the least they could do is include a copy of both the original release and 1997 Special Edition versions in the one DVD. And / or maybe an option of whether to include the added special edition scenes... How cool would it be to add the ones you like and not the other nasty ones?

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 SW DVD Trilogy obviously. Itr makes ZERO sense why the hell it has not been released already. Apparently Lucas just can't cut the fans a break. I don't see what the problem is?Has he ever stated why he won't just release them.Only reason I can see is that he hates SW fans.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Actually, he has stated why he hasn't released them, and you're right. He officially announced that he LOATHES all fans of Star Wars, so there will be no DVD release for the OT. However, the Special Editions will be available on DVD soon, along with around 6 or 7 different versions of the Prequels.

UCFKevin 0 Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 The Indy trilogy. No doubt about it. I've seen the Star Wars movie on the big screen with great picture quality and in DTS sound. Can't say the same for the Indy trilogy. Plus, I've seen so much behind the scenes footage and making of specials on Star Wars but damn near nothing on Indy, other than that very special episode of Entertainment Tonight. <sigh>WHEN, DAMMIT?!

CYPHER 1 Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 A couple of things:1. I don't know exactly how true and authentic this is, but I heard/always had the impression (presumably soundly informed) that Lucas did not want to release the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD until he had finished making the prequels. This was because he considered the transfer, packaging and composition of the original trilogy DVDs to be so important that they required all of his attention. This way, when he finishes making the prequels, we can expect the original trilogy on DVD, and we can feasibly expect more special features than meets the eye!!! There is also the possibility that old Darth Georgie may use this extra time on his hands to tinker with the originals again - obviously highly questionable behaviour.2. As for your suggestion Morn, about PC DVD players - truth is I've already got one but i) my brother stuffed it up so the DVD drive no longer plays DVD and ii) I want a player to use with my TV, which has a bigger screen and much better sound. 3. Yeah, I can't believe the Back To The Future trilogy has been released in Australia on DVD before America! Score 1 for Region 4 LOL . What's more outrageous though is the fact that Minority Report hasn't been released in some parts of Europe yet e.g. Espana!!! A serious offence if ever there was one!CYPHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like BTTF but in terms of overall quality, it is a distant 3rd to the original Star Wars trilogy, and the Indiana Jones trilogy.And Neil, I was referring to the raped and basterdized versions of the original Star Wars trilogy, because Lucas is such a prick that we will likely never see the originals in all their "original" glory.

Do you know if it is a seperate recording?I own the Region 2 set of the BTTF trilogy so I can confirm that there is in fact NO seperate recording of Alan Silvestri's masterfull score (basterds!).Maybe they said the soundtrack was remastered or something, 'cause it sounds great.BTW, the only additions the R1 version will have are feauture length commentaries for all 3 movies by Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale and Michael J. Fox and the R1 DVD's will include some TV Spots.The Oversea versions on the other hand have DTS sound and Story-board to screen comparison which the R1 does not have.

Guest Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Strangely enough, I want the Indy trilogy on DVD more than Star Wars.
