Just great. I was going to FINALLY get the Star Wars Eps 4-6 on DVD, but this change just had to happen! I could overlook the digitally remaster, but this is so ruttin' aweful! Why is he erasing the memory of the actors who played these wonderful characters?! This damn well better be a joke, b/c I ain't going to take this sitting down. Damn, Lucas is off his fuaing rocker....but you know, it just might be a plow just to rerelease it in it's original entirety.

As unsettling as the Hayden change is, you have to realize that it is still Sebastian Shaw during the unmasking. That is more important to me than his ghost.
I would prefer that the ghost remain Sebastian Shaw, but, if wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak.

If I must ever purchase them again, I'll wait for all 6 movies in a box set.
There are only 3 Star Wars movies. There will forever be only 3 Star Wars movies.
There is only one Matrix movie too, while we're at it. :)

Oh, man, you're so RIGHT! ARGGGHHHHH!!! Your signature is so right, too! Two of the best sci-fi movies ever and the sequels (and prequels) screwed them up and tainted our memories of the originals. I was such a huge Star Wars fan in 1997-- it changed my life, revolutionized my fandoms, rocked my world-- and now. . . now, I'm left with nothing but memories, action figures, a bitter heart and the shredded soul of a bona-fide science-fiction nerd. Excuse me while I gently weep. <:(

Double post, sorry.

What's the big deal? Now, I'm a bigger Star Wars fan than most, and I don't see any major problem. So the actor from Episode II (almost as good as the OT in my opinion, by the way) is in RotJ for a total of maybe ten seconds. It's still going to be the third greatest movie ever. (Until Serenity comes out, that is)

Maybe Lucas could have followed this same philosophy.

Quick thought about the who-shoots-first thing: presumably Lucas changed it for the kids, to make Han less of a murderer? In which case, having them shoot simultaneously (or near as dammit) goes back to square one, morally speaking. (If they're shooting at the same time, they're having the same thought - Han can't claim to be reacting to Greedo.)

This had better be a joke. Otherwise Lucas needs to die.

I can see by many of your posts that you are none too happy about the changes. As far as I can see, the changes are for real (for those of you that think it may be a hoax) and the original trilogy petition has been the biggest move to get George to give us the Filmic cuts (for the time being).
Definitely put your name down at
http://www.originaltrilogy.com/
I feel I should also reiterate some main points:
A) Although they're George's movies and he has a right to change them, he should still offer the filmic cuts regardless because they are well loved, classic films (AND CINEMATIC REVOLUTIONS IN THEMSELVES IN MANY ASPECTS).
B) As unseemingly uncertain whether there are in fact such changes, it must be then more uncertain as to whether he WON'T offer the filmic cuts at a later time. Give George some breathing space but let him know we want them.
