Dean1700 4 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed before now and with the focus on Star War at the moment I thought it might be an idea to put this to all.If you were George Lucas what changes would you make for Special Edition of the original Star Wars Trilogy, if any changes at all?

Morn 7 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Remove the shuttle from TESB! And jabba from ANH, as well as all those silly spies following han. Rest of the changes aren't too bad. Except perhaps for the lame attempt to show the end of a big stor in ROTJ far before it could possibly near a proper ending with the empire still intact.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 We should have an all-encompassing Star Wars thread, since the same exact stuff appears in every single thread that somehow relates to SW.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Lewis 6 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 We should have an all-encompassing Star Wars thread, since the same exact stuff appears in every single thread that somehow relates to SW.So what? Every post in those threads says the same old, repetitive things over and over, too. So yes, while it would be refreshing for that to stop, that's not likely to happen.

KarmBee 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 If I was GL I'd realize that I ruined three perfectly good films, made 2 horrible ones (not including Radioland Murders). Then I'd write up a will saying Rick should be drug through the streets Mussolini style and that every copy of SW movie made after 1996 should be burned in a massive heap in the middle of Skywalker Ranch. After that I'd shoot my poster of Eva Brown and then I'd end my own misery with the same weapon after setting fire to my underground replica of the Endor bunker.~KarmSometimes history SHOULD repeat itself.

Luke Skywalker 1,284 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Sometimes history SHOULD repeat itself.Yup that's why the Special editions have to be improved.I personally will give the complete versions (whatever that means) of the films to John Williams, and say him to fix the awful edits i have done.

John McClane 1 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 If I was Lucas the first thing I'd do is to put out an expanded release of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom".The second thing is to put out a an expanded release of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade".These are kinda the two most wanted soundtracks in the human history.TJ - who unfortunately isn't George Lucas (if I was GL, EVERY movie JW has scored for me would have a complete release) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielle 0 Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Rogue Leader said:If I were Lucas I would just release the Original movies and get even more rich off the revenues. And that's exactly what he's gonna do. Lucas is addicted to re-releasing these films every 2 or 3 years with some new gimmick to reel buyers in, and his "they won't ever be released again" line is about as believable to me as his "I had all of the films planned out from the beginning" one. Didn't he also say at one point that none of the films (original or prequel) would come out on DVD until after Episode 3 was released? That idea died a quick enough death once the $$$ hunger took hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 55 Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 If I were George Lucas, I'd start by getting a new neck and then a new chin....oh heck why not go the whole hog and get a new body and brains to match. Oh, but he does have a brain but forgets how to use it where directing is concerned. He should make a leave from my brain, I mean book.Hitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,284 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 "I had all of the films planned out from the beginning"I think he never has said in a blatant way. Many people believes it though.I have a version of the novels, that is from 1995 or so, and SW has prelude from Leia Organa (that i think it was also on the original edition - neil?). It speaks clearly about what hapenned in the prequels but without giving details. and it is only one page long.Anyway, i dont think he had an extensive plot for the movies (otherwise why would he doing the scripts right now? ) but i think the main ideas were there. Not what characters or what places would there, but i mean a page or two about the old repulic he surely had. Or the structure (three trilogies). But anyway, im sure that before the successful release of SW he was worried more in how the movie would fare than making sequels. He may wrote those lines when he picture ESB, and that is just two years after.But of course im not GL so i dont know what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I think Lucas probably had a "rough storyline" planned out in his head. I doubt anything was concrete ever since Lucas at first (at least he claims) didn't think SW would be successful and no more films would be made.

Morlock 9 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 (at least he claims) didn't think SW would be successful and no more films would be made. Why 'at least he claims'? There's no reason to think it would've become a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,759 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 If I were Lucas, I would try adding some plot and acting to his last two films. I think I would scrap both films entirely and start over, telling everyone it was just a dream, like on Dallas. Bobby is still alive, and I've yet to make a Star Wars prequel.
