<div class="IPBDescription">Apologize, you jerks :D</div> Remember when everyone was crying and saying they were going to commit suicide because George Lucas was ruining the holy original trilogy beyond all reason, and as a side project was walking up to each and every one of them and personally punching them in the kidneys? Well, the list of changes is out, and surprisingly the did NOT change Darth Vader's armor to pink, as was previously rumored. <a href='http://www.theforce.net/holonet/index.shtml#24788' target='_blank'>Here you go:</a>

I hate Hayden, he can't act for ****, he's partly why i dispise episode 2 so much, why must they taint the holy trilogy with his presence.
Because he is the Dark Lord of the Sith, and taintings what he's supposed to do.
The new Emperor dialog burns in hell. Empire Strikes Back really doesn't need Lucas to poo it up.

w-w-w-what?!
The point in the series at which you find out Vader is Luke's father is a pretty **** big deal, and they are changing where in the story it happens? holy hell man.

I never heard of the pink Vader rumor.
The major changes I'm personally annoyed at is the Emperor's dialog and Hayden at the end.
But I do like all the technical changes (texturing, sound, lightsaber coloring). THOSE are the types of changes they should make, not the stupid ones aforementioned.

Agreed. There's some stuff (like fixing graphical glitches on the Rancor) that I'm fine with. But changing the location of major plot devices by shifting it <i>over two film hours in the chronology</i> is out of line.
I also don't like the idea of re-recording Boba Fett's dialogue. He's got so little of it that it's the sort of thing you don't screw with.
[edit]And also, who in their right mind would think these "updates" are gonna be worth 60 bucks to buy the series again? GG marketing department!
Youre right. Old GL didn't punch us in the kidneys. George Lucas just punched us MULTIPLE times. In the face.
I was wrong.
lol....
Considering I own 3 copies of the complete trilogy on VHS, that kinda says something about how upset I am w/ the new crap.

OH NOES TEHY HAEV FIXED TEH GRAFICAL BUGS TYME TO BOICOTT!!!11
If you don't know who Luke's father is but feel compelled to buy Star Wars on DVD, then you've got problems. Problems out the wazookie.

You totally missed the point.
Anyways, as I've mentioned before its pretty easy to find bittorents of the DVDs made from the LaserDisc rips. Which are completely bastardization free. That way you can have star wars DVDs, the way you want them, while boycotting Lucas.
Seeing as how my roommate is like the master ripper/encoder of all media, I'm going to hand him my original remastered Star Wars trilogy box set and demand that he make me digital copies. At gunpoint.
Come on. Is it REALLY that hard to release the ORIGINAL, non-special edition crap? Just remaster it, tinker with the audio or whatever, slap it on DVD, and maybe make all the extra stuff an 'option' that you can enable in the play menu? I really don't see why they're not doing it, I'm SURE they know how many upset purist fans they've already made upset... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Sounds like a premature extrapolation from the emperor.

Because apparently the first guy couldn't act and Jango Fett's son is actually a freaking clone.

The Gungan's were freaking stupid Lucas. No need to keep reminding us of your mistakes. Let it go.

$%*&%*
Why? I have it in DVD format that was ripped from a format that is comparable in quality (<a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laserdisc' target='_blank'>See here</a>), it didn't cost me a dime, it pisses Lucas off, and I'm happy.

So, according to all follow up Star Wars books, the Emperor, during his reign, went through every posssible difficulty to completely wipe the Jedi from the galaxy, but he left their main training and meeting facility? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Hey, maybe he thought someone would just wander in and ask where all the other Jedi went. Then he could nab them.
Excellent quality.
None of George Lucas's CRAP.

Amen?
The point is clear. There is a distinct differences to "visual improvements" and changing the plot point. Having the Emperor reveal the son thing early in a "lull" of the action just ruins it. Don't deny it.
If only the Extras Disc was sold separately......
