What's the worst edit in the Star Wars Original Trilogy?
>>
Darth Vader saying "No" as he throws the emperor. That was a deliberate fuck you to all of the fans.
>>
the CGI band in Jabbas palace in Return of the Jedi.
>>
>>63715210
Was Anakin edited into that?
>>
>>63715340

It's better if you don't know
>>
>>63715323
It was pretty fucking bad in 1983 too tough

>>63715421

Stiff puppets are nowhere near as bad as the now-dated CGI abomination singer that was edited into the scene
>>
>>63715279
Whats the problem with that?
>>
I don't get the rage about this edit. It makes absolute sense and had little to no plot influence.

If they didn't edit it you'd be like "HURR DURR HOW DID HIS FORCE SPIRIT AGE".
>>
>>63715421

but all the other creatures were puppets and actors in prosthetic masks. then the band appear and it would cut to shiny new CGI characters, then back to puppets, then back to CGI characters. the whole cut was jarring and so out of place it looked far more retarded than the original.
>>
>>63715421
It's not nearly as long though
>>
>>63715531
You're missing the point

Darth Vader redeemed himself and turned back to the light when killing the emperor. So it makes no sense that his force ghost is young Anakin. Not to mention how Luke has never seen this fucking guy

Also it' really halfassed since it's just Anakins head copy-pasted on the old guys body
>>
Klutzy stormtrooper.
You remember him, right?
Little stormtrooper in back who banged his head on the blast door.
Or so he used it.

Kids who knew about this laughed.
It's only natural since it was a small gaffe.
Like, very hard to notice.
Least it was until the special edition.
Somehow, lucas decided to enhance it.

He added some new sound effects and I think a new sound to make the "mistake" more visible.
And now the stormtrooper falls over and makes this loud crash when he bumps his had.
Now it is no longer funny.
>>

This is JUST the type of rehash I was expecting, it's nothing but a glib facsimile.

If Star Wars was all I had access to as a child in terms of sci-fi I probably would become one of those crazy fanboys, but thankfully I had access to anime from very early on in my youth years that my mental balance is very stable.

Seriously, if you have watched Akira, you'd realize just how sophisticated anime is and it blows away anything Star Wars would have to offer.

A lot of people mention Ghost In The Shell, which has just enough of sexuality in the mix to draw in the western audience I suppose but I must say that Ghost In The Shell is not even in my top 10 anime, not even close, that's just how deep the world of anime is.

Some anime is so disturbingly mature like Fractale that I wish it would challenge the system and submit it as a Drama category in the Oscars just to bitchslap the snotty Academy.

It's not just the level of maturity and sophistication anime has, it's also quite original, entertaining, and visually fantastic. I would regard anime as the highest form of cinema art-form.

But hey, me preaching about anime won't do you any good, you gotta go out and see it for yourself just how much you are missing.

The recent one I would recommend to check out is Sword Art Online which is light and easy to get into anime for the first time yet appreciate it as much, but if you want the heavy stuff right off the line check out Guilty Crown in which the plot is so complex and twisted that you'll need extra oxygen pumped into your brain in order to comprehend everything, and if you want amazing visuals and a gripping drama that also has awesome mecha battles Aldnoah.Zero is the shit.

Seriously, if you know anime like I do, Star Wars looks like it's something for little kids.

The original had Anakain as he would have appeared if he had lived as long as he did without turning into Darth Vader. It made perfect sense.

Then George decided it wasn't enough, he never to actually insert Akain as he was BEFORE he turned in Darth Vader. Which was retarded, because then it means he died when he turned into Darth Vader, which means his redemption means nothing. It's all convoluted as fuck.

It was always intended for Anakin to appear as he was when he was Jedi, young. They just couldn't do it at the time because they didn't know what it would look like. In the novelization released at the same time as the movie it even states that anakin's ghost appeared young.

Luke, did I ever tell you about younglings? Youngling was a term that existed in Basic to refer to a child in a species-neutral way. Thus, the term "youngling" could apply to all forms of offspring, from humanoid children to insectoid grubs, just like the term "children". The term "youngling" is also used to refer to a child undergoing Jedi training. I don't like younglings.
