New versions of 4 5 and 6

I know this subject was touched on in the star wars DVD thread, but..

How do you feel about the changes made in the new DVD releases?

SPOILER (if you have been living under a rock)

like young anakin in the ghost trio, the Emporor revealling that Luke is Darth Vaders son (hence Vader is Anakin) before that dramatic scene in cloud city.

My opinion is when he re-released star wars with the touch ups some extra footage, it was cool no problem.

With these new changes I feel he has taken my childhood memories torn them up and stomped on them.

I do understand they are his movies, his property, but to alter such a classic....

i don't like the changes all that much... not just because they are changes, i can deal with that... nothing's sacred in my mind... but the father scene definitely worked best where it was... especially since that trilogy is still where most people will start who have never seen the series before

i loved most of the changed, especially having Hayden there... Didnt know how i would feel but ive come round like i knew i would. Now if they totally "re-****ed" Vaders face at the end i would have been pissed, as far as i know they just took his eyebrows (those monsters

)

i think he is a fool and should not have made changes

I like them. I didn't think I would, but overall, I do. And thinking about it, how cool is it having jarjar on the end of ep 6??

Haha, jarjar haters, neener, neener, neener.

Paul!! *hugs*

Nefarious nicker of pants, begone!
Thy self impos'ed exile long
Is not done!
Begone, I say,
Till light of day
Eight has dawned.
Else, lost thy mind
And worse
thy
pants
!

An idiotic move on his part, I agree. I havent seen the added scenes, but I know I wont like them.

If you know beforehand you won't like them, then the chances are you won't like them. People can convince themselves of things. That's one reason why children don't like certain kinds of food when they try them: because they decide beforehand they won't like them.

Hectorberlioz, YOU WILL LIKE THE NEW SPECIAL EDITION SCENES! (Gets a weird mumbly voice) It is the future I see . . .

I have not seen the new DVD. I wish that Lucas gave the user the option to see the edited version of the film or the original theatrical version on the same DVD.

I probably will not get the "new" DVDs although I may rent them at some point.
