We've been hearing rumours for about a year now that George Lucas was making further changes to the Star Wars trilogy when it hits DVD on September 21st. It's been confirmed that what you'll be seeing this fall are not the versions we all grew up with, but rather the 1997 Special Editions, with retarded "improvements" like poorly-rendered Hutts and Rodians who miss their targets from two feet away. Lucas claims that the original versions of his classic films will never see another release, prompting folks like myself to shell out big bucks on ebay for (surprisingly impressive) bootlegs.
Well, it seems that Luke's cheesy scream in The Empire Strikes Back wasn't the end of the Lucas Madness. Thanks to a leaked bootleg of the "new" Return of the Jedi, fans across cyberspace are seeing proof that the films have been tampered with still further.
The highlights include Sebastian Shaw's head being swapped with Hayden Christensen's and a new victory celebration, the latter including the Prequel planet of Naboo, complete with dancing Gungans (one of whom cries out "Wesa free!"). It's enough to make one turn to Star Trek for solace.
Reports indicate that 1977's A New Hope has the most changes, though they've yet to leak. Supposedly Jabba the Hutt has been replaced with yet another CG model; and the stormtroopers now all sport Temuera Morrison's voice in an attempt to bring some desperate sense of continuity to the Prequels.
The Empire Strikes Back has been tampered with the least, though its changes are pretty radical. In addition to supplying the voices of the troops, Morrison has also re-recorded all of Boba Fett's dialogue (hear a sample <a href='http://s90708385.onlinehome.us/millenniumfalcon_esbdvd_fettvoice.mp3' target='_blank'>here</a>), and Ian McDiarmid has replaced Clive Reville/Ol' Monkey Eyes as The Emperor. This latter change is so significant because new dialogue has been written and recorded, altering the entire context of the scene (listen <a href='http://www.grimbythehutt.com/gupta/esb_emperor-vader.mp3' target='_blank'>here</a>).
This is merely the first wave of news. Expect a detailed review this September, along with an analysis of the original changes made to the Special Editions.
Thanks to the boys and girls over at <a href='http://millenniumfalcon.com' target='_blank'>Millennium Falcon</a> for the mp3s and screen cap.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But wait, there's more!
<a href='http://ubb.empireonline.co.uk/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=matrix&Number=718150&Main=718124' target='_blank'>Here</a> is a list of changes with screenshots (remember, many if not all of these are from actual leaked copies of the DVDs coming out this fall, so they're real, not conjectural).
And <a href='http://owenward.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ROTJ-2004-HAYDENGHOSTCHANGE.mov' target='_blank'>here</a> is a brief movie of Hayden Christensen at the end of Jedi.
Although looking on the bright side, since this establishes the capacity for the films to be "revised" so easily, it means that it's possible that the <i>new</i> ones could be fixed to be less [excrement] at a later date, and the old ones put back to normal.

TESB was the only really good film of the three. Gritty, plot driven and pyrotechnic with truly imaginative set design and vastly superior.

And there's more like that. Why not just make number 1-3 look like the originals, rather then go back and change the originals so they look like the newest ones???
George Lucas is a frickin nutcase heretic. I'm not a very big Star Wars fan, but I do enjoy the original trilogy and the amount of sh** he has dumped upon the fans is sickening. I seem to recall him stating once that "it was just a movie and these fans should grow up". I think George Lucas needs to grow up and comprehend this vast mythos he helped originally orchaestrate, and is now reeming up the arse.
You all know how much I like my DVDs, but I refuse to buy them on DVDs until we get an 'un-george lucas' version.

I'm not a Star Wars fan, but these changes look pretty good to me. If they could do this to Star Trek as well, to clear up any history/plot issues that crop up, it would be beneficial. At least Star Wars has had its creator with the series the whole time. Star Trek has a bunch of directors that aren't Star Trek fans...

I was referring to the idea of the government/powers erasing history and replacing it with their own versions. The book is 1984 by George Orwell. Its a good, if scary read.
It refers to Herman Goebbels' "Big Lie". Tell a big lie loud and often and the people will believe it as truth. <i>Tell a lie, tell it big, and tell it often</i> – Herman Goebbels, Nazi propagandist.
For heaven's sake. I tie in a reference in 1984 of the memory holes, and because 1984 was partially influenced by the techniques of propaganda during WWII, combine it with you misunderstanding a quote of mine, I am now accused of linking George Lucas with Nazis?
Calm down a second and realize that my comments were a light hearted jab at the process of altering a film after the fact. Not some religious crusade against the evils of the world.
Then again, this is the internet and we get all sorts.
The man is ruining a classic film! I'm not calling him a Nazi, but if this was his original vision, then Star Wars no longer has my love.
I hope to god you mean 'Phantom Menace was the best of the 2 prequel trilogy already released'.

No I mean the graphics were so much better it really made it easier to watch, but The Return of the Jedi was almost as good, still too old though.

Meh. TBH the only CG I've ever liked in a movie was Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Apparently they're the only ones that have figured out that not everything casts a reflection, especially metal. Case in point: Look at a Naboo fighter. No. Just no.
Honestly, that shot where they gave anakin a new face......... yeah. well, i'm deeply hurt.
I take heart knowing my friend has a bootlegged DVD of the original Laser Disc version. ^_^
