I'm sure you all know about this, but I'm going to mention it anyway...
George Lucas will eventually release the Star Wars Trilogy...most likely in a box set with Episodes 1-3 when the time comes. However, Lucas has insisted that the only version available to fans will be the dreaded "Special Edition Re-release" cut. I am simply appalled with this, most notably because:
1.) GRIDO (sp) SHOOTS FIRST.
---In the original version of "Star Wars," Han shoots Grido across the table without warning. Lucas had to change that, however...
2.) THE STUPID MUSIC NUMBER IN "RETURN OF THE JEDI."
----Not only was it fucking stupid, but he---
3.) CUT OUT THE EWOK SONG at the end of "RETURN OF THE JEDI."
----When I was a kid I knew all the words, and I'm proud of that.
There are many more transgressions that I'm sure everyone has talked about in great length.
In the midst of this, I urge you all to check out www.originaltrilogy.com, where you can sign an online petition that will be sent to Mr. Lucas himself pleading for him to give the fans the choice between the uncut original version, or the blasphemous version.
Thanks.....................
i dont know how i feel about this issue, its his movie i guess he can do whtever the fuck he wants but still if i was a huge die hard fan i would be upset
woah....Star Wars was re-released?
my signature ID # is 33021
Is there a petition I can sign that will keep him from releasing ANYTHING, ever again?
Seriously, I'm totally against altering the original release cut of films as far as content goes... even if that original film is nothing I care to think about ever watching...

Have you seen the South Park episode when Lucas and Spielberg want to change Raiders of the Lost Ark ? Hilarious

That was a beautiful thing. I love
South Park.
Yeah, me too. Fucking Spielberg, I love how his underlings call him Mein Fuhrer in that episode. Hehehehe.
Too bad they stuck Coppola in there...
The whole reason I fell in love with movies when I was four years old was because of Star Wars. I'd consider myself now a disgruntled devotee. Lucas can do whatever the hell he wants. I'm sure the originals will get released whenever they decide they want more money. Which they always do. I mean, the official Star Wars website just turned into a paid membership site...what the hell. Oh well, the essential magic of 'Star Wars' still gets me excited, so I'm still a fan.
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed when I bolught the trilogy on VHS and got the re-released version unwillingly. I was so pissed when I saw Jabba the Hut walking around, mixing with the underlings in the first one. Plus, he was shorter then Han Solo. But in the third one, he's huge. That wasn't cool. It's kinda beneath Jabba, I found and it really pissed me off is all. That is all.
hahaha! long live my non spec. ed. laserdiscs!
i reign supreme! king of the nerds!
