ridan 0 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 The EE of LOTR just adds the material that PJ had to take out because of length and so the people who aren't obsessive fans would fully understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I'm really looking forward to the EE of RotK, though. I think that movie was just sloppy. There are a lot of things set up within the film (like Gothmog, and the Gandalf vs. Witch-King fight) that you never get to see. I just missed them, and not just because I had read the book.But as said, Jackson at least lets you choose. And it doesn't look like these movies'll be tinkered with for eternity. Lucas just keeps screwing with these films. Continuity my ass.- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Footage has already surfaced on the internet of Gothmog's fate. Looks like Éowyn will kill him. I wish we could get Denethor's Palantír, but no such scenes were ever shot. Pity. It's such a great character in the book, and the whole Palantír thing brings so many great nuances. There are some references to Denethor having a Palantír, but I guess we'll never see it.Anyhoo, what about that Star Wars deal, eh?!?- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Almost all the TTT extended scenes are jokes, that could be left out and are by least as 'good' as Lucas'.Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridan 0 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I think most of the scenes in TTT:EE add more understanding to the movie. The orcs joining the Uruks explains why they fought at Fangorn when no problems were had before; Faramir's Flashbacks explain his motivations for taking the Ring to Gondor; and the EE also explains how Theodred got wounded (also providing an Excellent rendition of the Riders of Rohan Motif), and how Aragorn ended up on Brego.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I expect Lucas'll do some more tinkering with the prequels as well when the prequel box or the saga box comes out. In fact, as it is now, we don't even have the theatrical versions of Ep 1 and 2 on DVD.- Marc, getting ready for the 100m finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 The Ep. 2 DVD is the digital "print" (not the celluloid one).For the DVD, extra sparks and smokes were added to Jango Fett's backpack in the arena sequence, just befor Mace Windu chops him up.So only a wee bit of effects work, and some extra footage that wasn't in the hardcopy release, but was in the digital version, which was considered the "final cut".- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Ware 526 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 There's also some added dialogue when Anakin describes the Tusken massacre to Padmé ("I'm a Jedi. I know I'm better than this").

tpigeon 3 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I am watching the ESB dvd as I am writing this. I work at blockbuster and we got it today. I have to wait until next wednesday for the other two. I must say, the transfer is incredible. The restortation in sound and picture is the best I have ever seen on a dvd. It's really amazing. As for the changes, there have been subtle (and i mean really subtle) enhancements to the battle of Hoth, and the Luke's scream has in fact been removed... there may yet be some hope for the Greedo scene in Star Wars. The new Emperor hologram is really interesting, especially since it doesn't even look like the Emperor does in ROTJ. Perhaps it's what Palpatine will look like when he reveals himself in ROTS. At any rate, this is a brilliant dvd and I can't wait to see the other two. I'll have more info on this after I see the whole thing.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 How about the Bespin matte paintings and flybyes,I always thought it was the fakest looking part of ESB..did they improve on the 1997 SE?What we need in those new editions is more transitionnal shots depicting Ralph Mc Quarry'a original concepts.For example they could show a Jawa Sandcrawler assembly in a desert shot,or richer landscape and more creatures on dagobah,more floating factories on Bespin,less static shots of Jabba's Palace and see what happens on the different levels..ect...K.M.
