Star Wars SE -- wtf?

[Peegee]

I just got done watching the star wars DVDs...and my only comment is: WTF?

- special effects is great
- they redid a lot of things. I think they got the current Bubba Fett to voice over the old Bubba Fett
- they got Ian McDiarmid to be the Emperor in ep 5, right?

but...in Return, I clearly saw Hayden "Anakin" Christensen in the final scene. Now, I say 'wtf' to this, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ORIGINAL ANAKIN LOOKED LIKE WTF HELP

So I'm downloading the original LD rips.

But this thread is discussion on all things star wars, and please to show me screen cap of that scene WHERE THEY SHOWED ORIGINAL ANAKIN HELP

edit: also, is Sidious the Emperor?

"they redid a lot of things. I think they got the current Bubba Fett to voice over the old Bubba Fett"

Yes, Temuera Morrison was included as the voice of Boba Fett

NOW COOK THAT JEDI SOME EGGS BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT IN GUATEMALA NOW, BOBA ROPATA!

Greedo shoots first, as well. Way to suck, Lucas.

Didn't he always shoot first? Or are you saying he changed it so that he doesn't shoot first?

[The Man]

He always shot first, but missed because Han lunged. At least, that's how I remember it...

And yes, Sidious is the Emperor (and also the far-less-sinister-looking Senator Palpatine).

[Erdrick Holmes]

Greedo shot first but Han just sat there and Greedo (being the terrible shot that he is) misses despite the fact that he's sitting still and only about 3 feet away.

[Cz]

...since 1995, anyway.

In the original original, Han just shoots Greedo and walks away. He's perfectly aware that Greedo's going to shoot him at some point, and so takes the initiative, rather than relying on the possibility that a person who is perfectly capable of handling a firearm will miss a target only an arm's length away.

Of course, in the new version, Greedo does miss, ruining the scene and making Solo look like a guy with amazing luck, rather than a total badass.

But that's just my crazy opinion.

[Jebus]

Yeah. I heard that he won't release the originals on DVD because he's embarassed of them. The children are crying George. I hope you can live with yourself for ruining a wonderful series.

i always remembered Han shooting, and not greedo at all...hmm, i should go watch it again or sumfin

You're right. Han did shoot first originally. They changed it in the 1997 SE, and Star Wars was forever scarred by its own creator. I know they're "his" movies and all, but he could at least release the original versions. Original as in the ones he didn't butcher.

[Shlup]

This thread makes me laff.

Did they really stick Hayden Christensen in Episode VI? Something about that is just wrong.

<b>Look, a relevant installment of <a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2004/20040922l.jpg">Penny Arcade</a>. You know those guys swear and everything.

Edit by Kishi: This is so backwards.</b>

[Peegee]

This thread is forcing me beyond free will to get the original laserdiscs and watch them, while uttering "WTF IS GOING ON" repeatedly.

Thanks a lot, jerks

[The Man]

Yeah, I'm getting more and more tempted to do that myself. The stupid thing with Han firing is... well... stupid. I didn't even notice it, that's how observant I am

[Jebus]

Han always shot first. Even in the book. They changed it for the 1997 re-make and left it in apparently. It pissed me off then, and it still pisses me off.

[nik0tine]

Yeah he always did shoot first. That was way cooler.
Not only are they ruining the movie's but they ruined some of their good games as well. Dark Forces was so incredibly awesome, and then they incorporated the whole jedi and the force thing. Then it was ruined.
