So I'm sure most of us have heard the news: Lucas is making changes to the Star Wars OT again for the Blu-ray release.

Now, I'll be honest -- I'm past the point of crying about Lucas raping my childhood. I really don't care about these films as much as I did as a kid. But this change here is so needlessly stupid, I just can't wrap my head around it. Combined with rumors that the picture quality itself isn't even up to par, and I just might be skipping this release altogether.

What say you, fellows?

I have a blog. This is its URL. You should read it. It's about education and skepticism and books and it has a lot of pictures of Batman and Robin in it: https://baldermoon.wordpress.com/

Seriously though, Lucas can dick around with RotJ all he wants so long as Empire remains largely unfucked.

that's already been proven fake.

the only real change is muppet yoda from eps 1 and ewok eyes

The other pointless change (which may or may not be fake) is the noise Obi-Wan makes to scare away the Sand People in A New Hope. It sounds....ridiculous to say the least. I can...stomach the change to Vader. Sort of. I guess. Maybe. The way I see it, the silent Vader seems more robotic, almost like he's acting on instinct. Whereas by responding to the Emperor trying to destroy his son, he's showing his long dormant human side...Or something like that.

Also, that whole digital vs physical Yoda change in The Phantom Menace, I welcome it. It looks tons better than that craptastic puppet they used. Nothing could capture the charm of the original puppet, especially if they were trying to make it look younger, so goodbye and good riddance funny puppet Yoda.

Ewok eyes? What'd they do to the Ewoks?

How is this thread even more upsetting than anything that's going on in the world right now?

I need to lay down and think things over for awhile.

I got no anger. Just a lot of confusion. I think George never gets on the internet.

Quite frankly I'm surprised he's only replacing muppet Yoda from I and not V and VI.

This is like your grandad embellishing the story of his own life because all he's done lately is sit in the rocking chair and yell at kids.

Here's my theory on Lucas and Star Wars: He's sick of the series and its fans, and wants us to hate it as much as he does. Or he just enjoys the reactions these changes inspire on the internet, one of the two.

I call it The Alec Guinness Effect. Five years from now, he'll be asking any children who approach him for an autograph to promise never to watch the films again.

IMO it's his damn movie and he can do whatever he wants with it.

I've thought it ridiculous the amount of whining the fan base has done about these things for years. Every one will bitch and moan and bitch and moan and then magically Lucas will make billions in sales or a product no one supposedly liked the idea of to begin with.
