Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm not usually a big tailgate guy but im so ****ing pissed about this im ready to rip out of my own organs just to throw them at George Lucas. He took the most powerful scene in the original trilogy, and added the biggest internet joke from 2005-2007 into it, and hes dead serious about it. The word "NO" will successfully ruin Return of the jedi, not to mention more CGI yoda nonsense and ewoks with CGI blinking. **** you George Lucas, youre the al davis of hollywood: respected for what you did 30 years ago while everyone secretly waits for you to die so you can stop ruining a timeless classic. /rant http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/31/lucasfilm-confirms-change-to-blu-ray-release-of-return-of-the-jedi/?src=tp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herrmag Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Actually, I think that "no" finally found it's place. No issue with it. And I'm a die-hard star wars geek. Should be stripped from ep. 3, and put there permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it works. so honestly, that scene just wasnt working for you before, you felt it was missing something, and him editing a completely out of place "NO" in there during the most epic scene of the trilogy AND adding a hilariously comic NOOOOOO in there afterwards now makes it better? would you like nipples added to the Mona Lisa to spruce it up a bit?

I retract my remark. I'm not nearly enough of a geek to argue with you. That moment in Jedi was moving, but his vocalization actually helps emulate his feelings. To turn on your master, and not make a sound or a discomforting grunt to do something like kill your master is inhuman. Put it in, take it out. Whatever. " You could use a good kiss!". Don't **** with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herrmag Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If its a trade off, and Han shoots first, will you accept the double switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Let's see here. :geek: Overall,been happy with most of the changes George made to the originals. I can even see why he made most of them. Loved the newer CGI looks and a few added scenes. However,he does tend to over think things and one example of that was having Greedo shoot first,(the original scene made Han an instant bad ass in a good way. Perfect lead in for his "Sorry for the mess" scene." That and putting Hayden Christiansen in at the end of Jedi,(which,as much as I enjoyed it,wasn't as good as its predecessors when it originally came out). This would also be one of those times. Leave it be I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I absolutely love the score from John Williams at the end of ROTJ. It presents all the emotion you need, now it's pretty much scuffed out at its apex. The subtle "No" that Vader mumbles prepares the (new) viewer for Vader's sudden turn on the Emporer. Some shock value is lost, IMO. Little known fact is that Vader's mask was switched out for that scene. They used one with rounder eyes than the normal mask in order to show Vader having more emotion.

Riggo-toni Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Cheesy, but then so was that whole movie. Too bad Lucas didn't just pass the baton after the 2nd movie. The story needs a reboot more than the post-Burton Batman movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Really no big deal for me. Changing the title of Star Wars: Big deal. Greedo shoots first: Big deal. Lucas taking a scene in Cloud City that used to have a blank wall as a background, and matting in "windows", instead? Seriously, I'm almost embarrassed that I noticed.

Tulane Skins Fan Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Adding "no" to that scene is not helpful, I agree. He should have added something truly badass. "Recognize, *****." Or "upsy-daisy, now.... downsy-daisy ! BLAM!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've bought Star Trek, the original series, four times. And the latest version, on BluRay, was outrageously expensive, and didn't even come in a decent box. 250 bucks, and they can't put it in a decent box?

Larry Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Why is Greedo shooting first a big deal? Han Solo is a badass character because he shot first. He fights dirty. It's part of his character. There's a line in one of Brian Daly's Han Solo books. (Published back when Star Wars was one movie.) Girl: "Do you always shoot first and ask questions later?" Solo: "I prefer shooting first. As opposed to shooting second." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
