I intend to buy it at some point, yes.

I preordered the DVD's with Jarre's latest album few weeks ago. I'm quite interested to see when they'll arrive.

Yeah, I'm gonna nip out in the morning and buy it. Not because I want to beat the rush or anything - just because mornings are way easier on the crowds at Monk's Cross (the shopping park near me).
2004-09-19, 11:10 AM #5
I'm likely going to rent it first to se how much they changed. If i like what I see, I'm going to buy it.
2004-09-19, 11:28 AM #6
yes. paid for it 2 months ago, too.
2004-09-19, 11:35 AM #7
Yeap. Gotta buy something...

Yeah, I'm definately going to go. Becuase I saw this thread, I remembered to make arangements with my friend Rick to head off to Wal-Mart Monday night at midnight, so now i won't look like as much of a loser heading out to get it at midnight . . . This way I'm not one of the people that's doing it alone .

I'm going to wait an see if they release an "Ultimate Edition"... which you know they will, eventually, on some new format. My VHS's are holding up pretty well anyway.
I bet you think that's funny, don't you.
2004-09-19, 3:45 PM #12
Yeah, I never bought the originals or SE versions on VHS. May as well get 'em now!
2004-09-19, 5:49 PM #13
I don't have any of the Star Wars movies aside from Empire Strikes Back SE, so yes.
2004-09-19, 5:57 PM #14
Probbrably not, my brother might, i really could care less, I like vhs!:D

Han. Shot. First.

Until this makes the cut into the DVD, I shalt not buyth it.

MAYBE.

I honestly think the changes he made are stupid. However, I'd love to see the films in their new Uber Detail format and in Widescreen, and I'd love to hear them in 5.1 surround.

I'm torn.

I'll head out to BJs Tuesday and make a final decision there.

Yes, because one second ruins an entire film. :rolleyes:

Yeah, because it's not like it's his choice/opinion.

Just because you believe "OMGLUCASCANDONOWRONG" doesn't mean everyone else does.

Wow, that was the most off-the-wall, baseless, inflammatory conjecture I've ever seen. Congratulations. :p
2004-09-19, 10:52 PM #26
hell yes i am going to buy them.

Just bought it. Got it for £30 today, if I'd waited till tomorrow it'd've cost me £50!

Bargainous.

I don't think OMGLUCASCANDONOWRONG, because I loathe TPM. While one second can't ruin a film, a two hours can.

Goddamn work, I have to watch ANH tomorrow. I watched the EPIII document though, I'm glad Vader isn't CG. :)

1) No blingbling cash money.

2) I have the SE on VHS.

3) I don't have any childhood memories to be raped. How I saw the SE is the way I see it now.
Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.
2004-09-20, 11:16 AM #34
Watching it at the moment.

But the stupid Germans raped Vader with a new synchronisation in the new scenes.

But then again I never intended to watch it in anything but the original language...
Sorry for the lousy German
2004-09-20, 12:09 PM #35
I am not. In Frame 642, for .345 of a second, you can clearly see that one of the asteroids is hung on a string. Not only does it ruin the trilogy, but every movie I have ever seen.

I don't feel like ramming my way through a large group of fat sweaty geeks to get a copy of a freaking MOVIE. It's a movie and all those EEDIOTS that go to the Star Wars conventions all dressed up, or camp out to see the next SW film need to go outside or something. I am not a huge SW fan. I enjoy the movies just like I enjoy any other film. I don't have a huge collection of action figures sealed air tight, with limited edition rare only 100 made in the world SW coffee mug, and trading cards, and SW RPG, and OMG OMG OMG STAR WARS LOLOLZ!....People that get so obsessed with any film that they need to buy all this extra crap and argue about minor plot holes or how 'LUCAS CANT EDIT THAT OMG RAPE MY CHILDHOOD!' need hobbies. I have a friend who has all the comics and books, and they can list all the races and all their names and tell you everything they do....It's a movie! I don't care what race lived on whatever the crap planet and ate cheese at half past midnight with jabba but later died in book 987 on page 45 paragrah 3 sentence 2!!!!!

but how can he say he is getting closer to his original vision... who the hell can remember a vision they had in the 70s while they were on drugs?

read my entire post... they could easily fit the original versions by making the discs two sided... side a could be his "special ed editions" and b could be the originals which people who grew up with these movies remember and love

It's not so much that one second (and for the record, it was definitely about 2 seconds, if not 3.), but all the changes (adding in Hayden as Vader in RotJ, etc.)

And it doesn't ruin the films to any extent, but it does detract from the original feel a bit.

And Happydud's gotta have that feelin'...
