  • Rumored Changes to Star Wars Trilogy

    As many of you may already know, George Lucas is releasing the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD in late September, which IIRC is the first time he has done so. However, there have been rumors floating around, perhaps somewhat substantiated, that Lucas will be altering the original trilogy to better 'fit' with the abominable prequels.

    One rumored change would occur in The Empire Strikes Back, when the Emperor is speaking to Darth Vader:



    A second change, and perhaps far worse, would take place in Return of the Jedi. Of a similar nature, the change would entail altering the scene with Anakin Skywalker, Yoda and Kenobi, with this:



    One must hope that these are merely rumors, that George Lucas would have the intelligence not to do this.

    Please let this just be a crazy internet rumor.

    I believe it. I'll cite the remastered versions as an example.

      :vomit:

      at least with the second one, the hope can be that it was a photo-shop job.

      And the first pic I really don't care if he fixes it, as there already was no emperor continuity between ESB and RotJ.

        I just don't get it. Certainly Lucas has enough money that he could spend his days on a cruise. Instead, he just thinks of ways to ruin a film considered a classic by millions. Is it only a matter of time before Alec Guinness is completely removed from the film, replaced by McGregor?

        I guess Lucas is of the mentality that if it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is.

          I like the first idea... that EmpireStrikesBack Emperor never did sit right with me. But splicing in young Anakin? lame
          To us, it is the BEAST.

                Does Jar Jar die? Blasphemy be damned: If Spielberg commits sacrilege to kill Jar Jar off then any necessary changes are as good as cannon.
                The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

                The Weighted Companion Cube is cheating on you, that slut.

                      I could understand the first one, because the Emperor just doesn't look right, although the 'replacement' image looks like crap.

                      But the second would be unforgivable.

                          Well, it's not like he would be ruining a film of quality.

                            No changes should be made, no changes should have ever been made!

                            George Lucas will burn in hell. The deepest darkest pits of hell.

                              The first MIGHT work out for the better, the second? no way!
