ORIGINAL STAR WARS TRILOGY COMES TO DVD!!!

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14373

This is fucking awesome. I've never been one of those rabid assholes who hate Lucas and Star Wars because of the alterations he made, but this is still GREAT news! I've always wanted to see the originals, because I'm pretty sure I never have.

Awesome!!!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thank you. I'm sick of all you proud cocks saying how much you hate Lucas and yet every single one of you buys the fucking movies. Don't buy it if you don't like it. Simple.

This is one of the smartest moves Lucas could have ever done. Unfortunately, it comes a bit late in the game, and he SHOULD have released the originals when the trilogy first came to DVD, but whatever, it's worth it just to finally have them now.

Like Eleo said, there are a lot of things good about the reissues, such as better sound and visuals, but there are also alot of dumb things as well. Either way, we can all finally experience the originals, and now every fanboy asshole can shut their filthy cocksuckers one and for all.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Some of the worst official dvd releases out there for movies have simply been laser masters dumped onto dvd with no care involved. And that's exactly what we'll be getting from the company that at one time was at the forefront of producing quality presentations.

That's what I've been saying to my roommate ever since he started bitching about the re-releases. This news finally shut his gaping bitch-hole, so I could care less how it looks. This dvd release is happening to both shut up the rabid zealot fans, and put millions in Lucas's pocket. It's win-win for everyone.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

These people don't care about quality, they just want the unaltered versions of their precious trilogy for some reason. They feel like Lucas owes it to them for some reason. I'm sure there will be outcry over the crap quality, but there will be far less overall outcry about the fact that "they haven't released the originals lol" because it's no longer a problem.

Personally, I think the quality of the special editions is great. It's wonderful to look at and listen to. I think some of the changes Lucas made really do suck, while others are great (I think adding Haydensen in ROTJ was good because of the reason Lucas gave. Go ahead and challenge me), but in the grand scheme of things, THEY'RE HIS FUCKING FILMS AND HE CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS WITH THEM.

You really don't want to get into this arguement with me.

You're right, I probably don't, but the reason Lucas gave was "the ghosts represent the Jedis when they were at their most pure" or something. Therefore, adding young Anakin at that point makes sense (for me anyway). I see both sides of it.

Quote:

"I am very concerned about our national heritage, and I am very concerned that the films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them." -- George Lucas, speaking out against the colorization of black and white films

Haha, ok you win this one.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Good point, but, Obi-Wan atleast SEEMS to have put that behind him and learned to live with it. I don't know if that's in writing somewhere, but he seemed pretty okay with his life at this point.

Double Post:
EPECIALLY since he just trained Luke, the new hope for the Jedi!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm not saying that, I'm saying that people bitch about him not having the right to do it even though they're his films and it fucking disgusts me. What are we, fascists?

I don't agree with everything Lucas has done, but that doesn't change the fact that he had the right to do it. That's all I'm saying.

FELIPE NO
