    I remember being really excited about the special editions because I was this huge fan of CGI stuff and loved Jurassic Park. When I finally saw the added scenes I was more than a little uncomfortable with how distracting they were from the rest of the movie.

    I hope the new movie gets rid of those stupid radial explosion lines everything has now.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure there aren't shockwaves in space.

    You can't even blame Jar Jar's behavior on him being a weird alien, because the other Gungans think he's a weird idiot too! All the aliens do normal people stuff. But he's a buffoon from the word go.

    This is probably my favourite piece of Official Star Wars-related merch in the post-prequels world.

    Actually, it's possible it's my favourite piece of Star Wars related material other than the movie themselves. And I have the Ralph McQuarrie concept prints from RotJ around here somewhere.

    I don't know how my dad got this, but somehow he has a DVD box set of the original trilogy where a 'Bonus Feature' on the special features disks is just straight-up "here are the Theatrical Editions of each movie"

    I thought they were never released on DVD

    But he's got em

    I've got these too

    they were my bread and butter until the despecialized editions made themselves known

    I may have bought that particular edition of DVD solely because of that feature

    You can still buy these. They're $200+ used, that's all. The theatrical versions are a fairly ordinary quality rip from the laserdisc edition of the films.

    I just looked on eBay and it's more like $60-$100 for a full set

    People are TRYING to sell them for 200 bucks but I don't think they're selling

    The concept prints are amazing. I have two sets of i think RotJ and The Empire Strikes back. I bought them on Queensday for something like 5 bucks.

    I have those, it's a two disc thing where disc one is the special editions and the other is the originals. I will never give them up.

    Also I hate you all for talking about the special edition ROTJ, now all I can think about is that stupid sarlaac beak and I'm having an aneurysm.

    Worst part of the re-mastered ROTJ is Hayden whatshisface as a force ghost at the end.

    I've always been curious about this but never looked it up

    Was the guy who appeared as Anakin's ghost at the end of the original ROTJ the same guy who played him when Luke takes off the Vader helmet?

    the worst part of the ROTJ remaster is basically everything except the final battle which somehow escaped unmolested

    I expect a future version of ROTJ to have Jar Jar flying the A-wing that brings down the Executor

    Didn't they change that scene where Luke takes off Vader's helmet to awful Hayden Christensen as well?

    No, but they digitally altered the color of the actor's eyes.

    It's pretty dumb, even as a small child I knew exactly who that ghost at the end of RotJ was.

    A teaser trailer would make sense. Even if they don't have anything, they could put out one of those text-and-sound only dealies.

    Changing the ghost at the end was a crime against films. It literally makes NO sense, and was one of the worst decisions ever made in the history of movies.

    Anyway, here is something to laugh at.

    I know what it is, I was just unaware there would be a major announcement, like perhaps you knew of something I did not.
