Now that the prequels have been vindicated, can we talk about Lucas' other works that were ahead of their time?
If anything, the Special Editions prove George actually DID care about the Star Wars legacy and having a consistent narrative vision.
Otherwise he wouldn't have cared if Anakin's ghost looked like Hayden or if Han shot first. If it was just a cash-grab, he would've released a remastered version and left it at that.
There's no reason to prefer the unaltered originals unless you're major league asshole.
>inb4 contrarian
Get a new argument, redditors.
But Vader was redeemed as a grown man, so he should've had the same actor that was in the de-masking scene. Obi-Wan is still an old fucking man as a force ghost.
>1977
I literally hope you get raped btw.
Is that picture made for space ants?
*sigh*
Get cuck-meme'd you contrarian redditor shitlord
>>64505232
OP is only making the point that the sheer illogic of George's decisions prove that he was sincerely trying to make the films match some idea he had in his head, however misguided that idea may have been.

Yeah this is why there are 0 contradictions and inconsistencies between the OT and the PT, right?
>>64505271
But he says "there's no reason to enjoy the unaltered originals". If he meant to imply the alternations were flawed, then there would be reasons.
There should have been guys in cloud cars flying by windows yelling out profanities every few minutes.

came here to post that basically, like how come no ones else's force ghost reverted back to the age of 21 or so?

>>64505275
I can get behind this. Watching the despecialised editions was fantastic until this scene. It's such a retarded anticlimax.
So I should watch the original or the 1997 version?I've only seen the prequels and I'm keen to see what all the hype for the original trilogy was about.

Does sound like The Phantom Edit. They also cut out a lot of Anakin's lines to make him less "gee whiz".
Sadly the movie is still pretty bad. There's only so much an editor can do.
maybey im in the minority opinion on this but I do like the song that he used to replace the stupid ewok song at the end of return of the jedi.
>>64507528
Agreed. I could have done without all the off world video game tier CGI shots, but the new score and edit of the Ewok celebration gave the whole thing much more gravitas.

>>64508267
Well I am tired. But I want to see a rated R star wars movie or show.
what changes do you think will be made for the 4k edition?
There are Semi-Despecialized versions on torrent sites that take the Despecialized versions and add the improved special effects shots back in where appropriate, without fucking with the story. So you get the improved space battles and creatures without Greedo shooting first or Jedi Rocks or Prequel Anakin or anything. There's even two different versions of ROTJ so you can choose Yub Nub or Victory Celebration. Some of the full autists here will still nitpick them but for my money, they're the best way to watch the original trilogy, along with the Anti-Cheese edits for the prequel trilogy. Did a marathon of all six before going to see VII and it was pretty great.
>>64508739
But it ends on a higher note. Endings are everything.

>>64505201
Ironically the people shitting on the special editions are millennial redditors who have most likely never seen the films in their original forms, certainly not in theaters. Some of the most memorable scenes in the original are absolutely atrocious due to excessive matte lines and shit. Hoth scene and basically every action scene in ROTJ looks terrible in the original versions. Most of the awful memeshit (not counting Jedi Rocks) like the fuckhuge Jabba Palace door or R2 behind the rocks came much later, in DVD and BD re-rerealeases

You are now aware that there is a range of atmosphere on Jupiter and Saturn where the atmospheric pressure is the same as sea level on earth (1 bar).
You are now aware that the gravity at this range is almost the same as on earth.
You are now aware you are extracting oxygen out of an atmosphere that is 70% nitrogen.
You are now aware it is possible there is a gas giant where this level of atmosphere may contain breathable oxygen and another noble gas (ie. Nitrogen).

That's not from the special edition you literal 13 year old, that's only on the blu ray
>>64505201
>>64505201
I don't think you're a contrarian, I think you're a late 80s to early 90s guy who was first exposed to Star Wars when you saw the 1997 editions and those are the versions you like. You went back later and watched the theatricals and aren't as big a fan of them because, in your mind, they aren't the original and best ones.
I have buddies who hate Yub Nub and love the Victory Celebration theme because they heard the latter first and find Yub Nub annoying.
It's a fair enough opinion, but the theatricals are the originals, and while many of the changes since then are simply aesthetic, others are fucking retarded (Greedo shooting first, two RotJ songs being entirely changed, Obi-Wan's Krayt call), and to say "There's no reason to prefer the unaltered originals unless you're major league asshole." is pretty fucking ignorant.
And on the topic of ignorance, that picture is from The Empire Strikes Back, which was released in 1980, not 1977.

PLEB
I used to feel the same way until I saw the original edition in full. You finally see the sunset as the Slave I blasts off with Han aboard and the reveal of the beauty of the sun along with the realization that they lost is genuinely poetic. This is lost if you can see the sunset the whole time.
>>64512127
the blu ray is the 3rd revision of the special editions you 14 year old
There are changes in the special editions that improve the film. The better explosions, for example. But there are plenty of needless changes as well. Adding in a ton of CG creatures all over and robots slapping each other around in the background, and more stupid terrible jokes. (hey, lets have some guy in the background lose control of his CG creature and get flung in the air. And hey rather than just showing the ominous outside of Jabba's Palace, lets have a CG animal eat another CG, and the BURP! It will be HILARIOUS!)
As >>64512281 mentioned, the aesthetic changes are fine. But the others? No reason for them

Nope, I own it too. Its a golden box though. Never did know what the difference was but some of that CGI that was added still pisses me off till this day. I'm hoping one day Disney will release a theatrical cut with just a few of the CGI that actually makes the movie look better and not all that shit that was added that looks like a sore thumb.
"These current defacements are just the beginning. Today, engineers with their computers can add color to black-and-white movies, change the soundtrack, speed up the pace, and add or subtract material to the philosophical tastes of the copyright holder. Tomorrow, more advanced technology will be able to replace actors with “fresher faces,” or alter dialogue and change the movement of the actor’s lips to match. It will soon be possible to create a new “original” negative with whatever changes or alterations the copyright holder of the moment desires. The copyright holders, so far, have not been completely diligent in preserving the original negatives of films they control. In order to reconstruct old negatives, many archivists have had to go to Eastern bloc countries where American films have been better preserved.
In the future it will become even easier for old negatives to become lost and be “replaced” by new altered negatives. This would be a great loss to our society. Our cultural history must not be allowed to be rewritten."

Then why not just cover the Gonk Droid with something else CG the same size? After all, they completely covered Puppet Yoda in Phantom Menace with CG Yoda.
Sincerity doesn't change the fact those decisions were misguided and made the movie worse, or are you going to argue that Luhrmann's Great Gatsby is the greatest film ever made?
Yub nub fits the scene perfectly. It's obviously going along diegetically with the festival, but it has a triumphant tone as well that complements the emotions of the scene as it nears the end.
You're a shitter if you prefer the edit.
>>64505201
>Now that the prequels have been vindicated

Why didn't he just recolor the droid instead?
>>64512588
the gonk is chilling with vader later in the movie. only noticed that recently.
also the phrase "where could they be?" is used about 5 times during the movie.
>>64505201
Bump.
Also, consider this: my woman watched the movies with me, having never seen any beyond PM when she was a kid.
She actually didn't know Palpy was the Emperor and she enjoyed a badass twist I was never able to, because even before the PT, I knew the Emperor's real name and past (from the EU I suppose, though I never read these books, but my younger brother did so maybe he told me).
I also agree with ESP reedition being superior. Apart from killing the wampa for no reason, everything else was better and looked fucking awesome.
>>64512760
Why doesn't it?
>>64512830
anticlimactic and childish sounding imo fa.m
>>64505275
>>64512419
Agree with both of these. It would be perfect if they get rid of Yub-Nub but keep the celebration just on Endor.
>Han Solo shot first
Who gives a shit about this? I feel like people question the "morality" of him shooting first as if it makes him an evil murderer or something. What the fuck are you talking about? It's literally a non-issue
>>64505201
>Get a new argument, redditors.
This is 4chan.
>>64505201
There was at one time a version of Empire where Luke yells "AAAAAAHHHH!!!..." when he starts falling after letting go of the pole because Vader has him beaten and cornered.
To me that was worse than Han Shooting first because it fucked up one of, if not THE most iconic scene in move history.
They have since changed it back so it's all good now.
Addendum: In the latest Blu Ray version of Ep 4 it has been re-edited so it's not exactly clear who shoots first
The new celebration music is awful. I didn't know Ewoks were peruvian
>>64512868
It's a pretty childish scene, save for his interaction with the force ghosts, which is still very lighthearted and uplifting.
The song is actually very climactic; it crescendo's near the end with huge vocals. The galaxy is saved (for now) and Luke is happy with his friends around him. The song reflects this.
Maybe you have a problem with the scene as a whole.
>>64505201
I prefer the special editions for the most part. Except for Hayden-ghost and Han not shooting first.
>>64512755

They pass by a team of blue-collar dock workers performing hard labor on the outskirts of the city. One of the burly workers gets into a disagreement with a diminutive member of the local constabulary, and punches the poor fellow's lights out. It's almost as if this is some sort of rough-and-tumble port town, where a quarrelsome spirit is lurking around every corner and in the heart of every citizen, even the robotic ones!
>>64512241
Jesus nevermind what I said. Fuck this part too.
>>64512898
You got it opposite bro, they made him shoot second in the special editions. Your opinion agrees with everyone complaining about the change.
>>64512898
OT kind of is though in the context of the special edition because literally just a few minutes later Han Runs into Jabba and the just talked and joked around a bit.
Meaning Han would have killed Greedo for no reason.
>>64513149
They have changed it a third time.
As of now it's not clear who shoots first.
G.L. didn't want to make Han look like a cold blooded murderer in the special edition because he actually meets Jabba later and and Jabba doesn't try to kill him or anything and actually let's him go.
Han Shooting first in the original version makes sense because it is implied that Jabba would have him executed on the spot but in the special edition that's not the case at all.

Thanks a lot, Jew Jew. Another reason why TFA sucked dick

>>64513693
it really, really wasn't, and the dialogue addition of saying Anakin Skywalker is weird and extremely out of place. This is the biggest concern
There is literally no reason to prefer any edition of Star Wars over the Despecialized editions, unless you prefer a 35mm scan which hasnt been released yet
>>64513623
>He's no good to me dead.
Changing the VA for that perfect line makes me kind of sad.
The changing the emperor also kind of sucks too because it doesn't blend in well.
In hindsight I get why GL kept changing them because if you think about it, it is the ONLY film franchise that has remained theatrically relevant for three generations.
Maybe you could re release Wizard of Oz for kids today but there aren't too many films out there that have not been rebooted with completely new versions.
Sure there are some animated movies but not live action films.
>>64513888
>it really, really wasn't
Well okay then. I mean they looked nothing like the Emperor at all and was played by a women but okay.
>>64512329
I shredded my copy of ROTJ SE.
>>64512730
They also cut out scenes of Luke looking at the group at the end, so there's an emotional rift in the performance which screws it all up.
Yup Nub is better considering that the story isn't completed.
>>64513849
That can't fucking be real.
>>64513623
yeah ROTJ SE is by far the worst
probably the reason why some redditors actually believe TFA or even ROTS is better than ROTJ
>>64513622
>because it is implied that Jabba would have him executed on the spot but in the special edition that's not the case at all.
Not really. Greedo says something about Jabba just taking his ship, Han responds with "over my dead body" and Greedo says he's been looking forward to that. It's Greedo who's trigger-happy in this situation, not Jabba. Greedo and Han had a beef, and Han shot Greedo to keep Greedo from shooting him. This has nothing to do with Jabba or any scene he might be included in later, except that Greedo was also hoping to get paid.

>>64514182
Now that I keep thinking about it though if someone had a gun pointed at me and was trying to kidnap me I would probably shoot them first as well if I had the chance.
It's probably better if 9yr olds don't have to make that morally ambiguous kind of decision though.
>>64512482

>>64514518
>so he still would have murdered him for no reason.
No... He would have murdered him for a very good reason, to stop his own murder. What Jabba was going to do holds no fucking relevance, because the way Greedo was acting he wouldn't let Han live long enough to face Jabba. He was just waiting for Han to make some kind of move so he could justify shooting him. They made it so obvious that you can tell even through the subtitles and alien mask for god's sake.

Yu Nub plays into the idea of how miniscule and grass roots the rebellion is. The Empire has been beaten (for now), and our heroes enjoy a moment of respite before embarking on another inevitable quest. Having a huge victory celebration across galaxies where the Empire still has forces is dumb.

wrong, the last time he was ajedi was when he turned back to the light side of the force and redeemed himself by saving Luke and killing the Emperor.
Luke never considered him truly dark, and still considered him a Jedi.
And Vader redeemed himself by proving him right, died with his mask off, with his mark of the Dark Side off, and was then given a proper warrior's funeral

Vader wasn't a Jedi. Anakin was. Anaking died that day on the lava planet.

Only fat autistic manchildren think this
The only thing I like more in the special edition is the edits to Cloud City so it looks less claustrophobic.

Some of the changes were alright. The varying quality of the special edition changes were a lot like the quality of all of George's ideas. Half of them were good - sometimes great - and the other half were complete shit.
He just needed someone to slap him every time he convinced himself one of his bad ideas was good.

I agree.
For me I prefer
ANH- unaltered
ESB- either one is fine, but unaltered winsout because of "bring my shuttle" and no ROTJ huttle footage.
ROTJ- I prefer the SE- ONLY because the very last scene is so vastly improved. All the other changes suck, but the first time I saw the SE, the end felt so much more joyous than before. That single change literally makes ROTJ a much better movie.
