Are any fo you here getting the DVD releases of the original Star Wars trilogy? It looks interesting- but as much as Lucas wants the films to be what he intended (which I think is a lie- I dobut when he was making them int he 70's he thought about the future technologies to redo the films- plus, the changes weren't too drastic- re-animations, enhancing picture etc), I think he should give the option of the original releases. http://www.thedigitalbits.com/review...rschanges.html
has the new changes being made for the 2004 release. Hayden Christiensen is at the end of Return of the Jedi playing Anakin's ghost! It makes sense- but at the same time looks slightly weird and ridiculous.

I'm going to get them. Starwars and Empire Strikes Back are two of my favorite movies.

Mijada · 09-16-2004, 06:16 PM

I'm getting it this weekend.

Dean Winchester · 09-16-2004, 07:25 PM

I definately am getting this next Tuesday

barwars · 09-19-2004, 10:53 AM

Im getting it regardless.... even if Hayden Christansen (or whatever) blows.

Did they chance Darth Vader's face, when he was unmasked at the end of "Return of the Jedi?" I heard, when he is unmasked, they put the actor who played Anakinn Skywalker in the prequils.

I don't know about that particular scene but at the end of the movie, where Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakan's ghosts are seen, they replace the original Anakin with Hayden Christiansen like webuster said.

They airbrushed his eyebrows to look more like Christensen. They also colored his eyes blue.

So, AKA, I know you're big on not buying DVDs that are edited, but.... what about Star Wars??

I caved. I bought the trilogy on Tuesday.

I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan, so I couldn't help it.

I picked up my set the other day but I haven't watched them yet. I plan on checking them out all weekend.

Don't tell me how it ends, okay?

I'm watching Return of the Jedi with the commentary right now.

The DVDs are awesome. But the changes they made, I'm not sure if I like them. Like at the end of the Return of the Jedi. With Aniken. Ugh, that was kinda weird...
