At least Star Wars only blows planets up instead of creating new life on planets and destroying the time-multiverse.

Hey, TJ, thanks for the PM.惽;)] Finally, a Star Wars vs Star Trek debate that doesn't get too heated. Good job my fellow nerds.

quote: ORIGINAL: Fubar But it sure gets me noticed in public :-P I am surprised you are the first person to come up with that shirt. I laughed myself silly about that one. I think ole George Lucas is getting soft and cute in his old age. I do not think he is capable of producing a movie as dark as the Empire Strikes Back. Technically, Revenge of the Sith should be darker BUT its tone was not the same as the Empire Strikes Back!

Fubar -> RE: Race limit on png files? (11/12/2011 8:33:29 PM)
I bought the Star Wars boxset on Blu-Ray the other week. I'm slowly working my way through them and got to Episode IV and stopped, i heard Lucas has 'improved' them yet again and i'm affraid to see what he's messed with this time around. [8\|] I dont mind touching up the special effects with modern CGI so much but its when he edits scenes like the cantina or editing out original actors for the modern replacements that i start getting annoyed. Guess i'm just a purest!

Igard -> RE: Race limit on png files? (11/13/2011 4:37:06 PM)
The vast majority of people I talk to, both online and offline, want bluray versions of the original theatrical releases. It's clear to me that Lucas is living in a bubble. The people around him are probably constantly reassuring him that the fans want more effects, more special editions, more hype. They're too scared to tell him the truth. Unless he's just waiting for the revenue to dry up. Then he'll give us what we want and make a packet. It's for this reason I'm not buying any of the 'enhanced' versions. I wonder if there are any TV channels that might screen an HD version of the originals? I'd assume if they did, it'd be an internet sensation.

Fubar -> RE: Race limit on png files? (11/13/2011 5:54:34 PM)
Thankfully i have the 'original' versions on both VHS and DVD, i even prefer the old Dolby 2.0 sound. :-)

Haree78 -> RE: Race limit on png files? (11/13/2011 6:00:00 PM)
There's no way I'm buying full priced Blu Rays that include Darth Vader going "nooooOOOoooOOOOooOOO!" as he throws the Emperor. Or where Luke sees Obi Wan, Yoda and Anakin as a kid and he smiles like he knows who it is! Jabba the hut as a giant CGI frog in a scene that serves no purpose other than an excuse to line Lucas' pockets. I could go on [:@] For giggles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OAp4VIuTyo

I was originally going to tease you and say, 'you do not feel strongly about this do you?' But I agree, it is AWFUL! The next change will be to Indiana Jones and the swordsman in 讚ypt... he will draw a gun and ONLY THEN does Indy shoot the guy!

I do feel quite hurt about the changes, I cannot enjoy the films that I remember, my only choice is to watch these tinkered versions that look more dated than the originals. I know it's nerd rage but it's how I feel, I wont lie.

Nedrear -> RE: Race limit on png files? (11/13/2011 11:26:03 PM)
Wasn't the Indy shot "hell no I am not fighting a swordmaster, I got a gun" part of the joke? That would ruin the humor and make the comedic adventure film an action movie. What else would you edit? I mean come on, the explosions are WAY beyond the modern standard of film vandalism. A car blows up like an atombomb by a bullet shot today and a small crash will crush half the city. Indy must definetly be updated to that. We need to see arabian citys crumble!

I do not know if I have that version or not... if I do not, I am SURE they pulled it off of the market!

It was indeed, but then I am just an old man ranting that the version of SW I remember is sitting in two places: one on the editting room floor, and perhaps, just perhaps, in George Lucas' private screening room!

Okay guys, I AM NOT, AM NOT, AM NOT trying to restart the debate again. But let me just say this: your lucky I did not find this image before now....[:D][sm=00000280.gif][sm=00000289.gif][sm=00000436.gif][:'(][8D] [image]local://upfiles/35269/C23CF45EF4294240BEE31ED8AAC26F93.jpg[/image]

Is this from the 3rd season episode, 'the High Ground'? That is a great scene where he decks the terrorist... [:D][sm=00000280.gif][sm=00000289.gif][sm=00000436.gif][:'(][8D] Set goes to IGard on that one!

[:D] Well, we were just having fun; I did not know until today that William Shatner and Carrie Fisher were going at it for real... EGAD!

Igard -> RE: Race limit on png files? (11/17/2011 9:22:32 PM)
You're right!! Didn't realise that either. [:D] I think Bill may have met his match this time. I think he'd have more like fighting the Gorn.
