To be fair, I haven't seen episode 3 at all and only bits of episode 2 by being in the room when someone else was watching it. I don't like what I did see much.

I never did get round to seeing episode 3.

Although the fact that I don't have Blu Ray makes the decision for me, really. If I did? Hmm. Nah. Might download some of the deleted scenes though, when they appear online. But not from Episodes 1-3 ;)

Am waiting for the "George Lucas is dead, we can finally release a decent version" edit to come out.

I saw Star Wars (all of it). First 3 original trilogy movies were fantastic.

But I've been there and done that. It's in the past. Can we move on now?

How the fuck has he changed them this time?

[bart-calendar.livejournal.com]

FUCK FUCK SHIT SHIT DARTH SCREAMS "NO!" WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THAT THAT!

FUCK ME! I'M NOT EVEN READING THE REST OF THE ARTICLE ABOUT THE CHANGES BECAUSE I'M WORRIED THAT HAN WON'T SHOOT AT ALL.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

I still haven't seen episode 3.

I'm kind of past caring what he does to the originals these days, they will always be the grainey recorded-off-TV versions I watched a child to me.

To me, episode four is a bit like Citizen Kane: OK, it might be really influential, but it's not actually that good a film.

I loved the original Star Wars trilogy. I don't know what changes George Lucas has added in the Blue Ray version (feel free to enlighten me), but I don't trust his judgement: I think his motivations now are different to what they used to be, and evidence from past suggests that I am not his target audience any more.

The only thing I'd be interested in is higher definition video and audio, and quality control tidying up any obvious errors (errors, not creative differences). I really dislike watching CGI characters and CGI space ships, and I think they are inferior to puppets and models: this was sufficient to reduce my enjoyment of the prequel trilogy, especially 2 and 3 when Yoda was CGI. I can't think of any changes he could make to the story/graphics of the originals that would interest me; it's always possible (but like I said, I doubt it).

That said, I don't own a Blue Ray drive, so I won't be buying it -- at least for the foreseeable future.

Yep. Next, Tolkien will come back from the dead to re-write Lord of the Rings.
Still, like with Highlander, there can be only one.

...and next year the theatrical release of the 3D versions!
George Lucas; personally going around killing all horses to beat them afterwards.

Hmph, where are the options for not seen?

Here is a list of the most awesome things about the Star Wars films:

1] Harrison Ford
2] Carrie Fisher
3] Lando Calrissian

Case closed.

I saw episode 1 at the cinema and it was boring. I saw half of episode 2 on dvd and didn't watch the rest. I'll watch the extended version of the Two Towers before I watch episode 3 ie never

Counterpoint: Bladerunner Final Cut is actually really good.
