| Star Wars Trilogy changes
The DVD is coming out, and they want to coax some more money out of us for the material we've all seen a hundred times--- so, there may be some changes (courtesy of slashdot).
---
Leia: "Luke, I am your mother!"
Luke: "Nooooooo!"
---
R2D2: Beep boop wheeep zoop beeyoop! (translation: Be honest, what was I actually?)
C3PO: Oh, I'm afraid you were originaly designed as mobile trash compactor.
R2D2: Dweep! Dweep! Dweep! (translation: Noooooooo!)
---
A furious light sabre duel is under way. DARTH VADER is backing LUKE SKYWALKER toward the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader, chops off Luke's hand! It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft. Luke
looks round, but realizes there's nowhere to go but straight down.
DARTH VADER: "Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father."
LUKE: "He told me enough! He told me you killed him!"
DARTH VADER: "No! I am your father!"
LUKE: "No, that's not true! That's impossible."
DARTH VADER: "Search your feelings; you know it to be true."
LUKE: "NO!"
DARTH VADER: "Yes, it is true and you know what else? You know that queer brass droid of yours?"
LUKE: "Threepio?"
DARTH VADER: "Yes, Threepio, I built him when I was 7 years old."
LUKE: "No."
DARTH VADER: "Seven years old! And what have you done? Look at yourself, no hand, no job, and couldn't even levitate your own ship
out of the swamp."
LUKE: "I destroyed your precious Death Star!"
DARTH VADER: "When you were 20! When I was 10, I single-handedly destroyed a Trade Federation Droid Control ship!"
LUKE: "Well, it's not my fault."
DARTH VADER: "Oh, here we go. 'Poor me, my father never gave me what I
wanted for my birthday, boo hoo, my daddy's the Dark Lord of the Sith...waahhh wahhh!' You make me sick."
LUKE: "Shut up!"
DARTH VADER: "You're a slacker! By the time I was your age, I had exterminated the Jedi Knights!"
LUKE: "I used to race my T-16 through Beggar's Canyon!"
DARTH VADER: "Oh, for the love of God, 10 years old, winner of the Boonta Eve Open. Only human to ever fly a Pod Racer, right here baby!"
Luke looks down the shaft. Takes a step toward it.
DARTH VADER: "I was wrong. You're not my kid. I don't know whose you are, but you sure ain't mine. Get out of my sight, you loser!"
Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges down the shaft. Darth Vader looks after him.
DARTH VADER: "AND GET A HAIRCUT!"

| Pretty funny.
I heard a rumor that they changed Bobba Fets voice in the DVD's to match Jango Fett's in episode II.
My roommates mother has the original UNUPDATED trilogy on VHS so I can at least enjoy the REAL trilogy.

| It's George's movie, and I suppose he can do what he wants with it. But I don't have to like it!

| Lucas had a golden opportunity to release these films using DVD branching, so they could be shown as their original theatrical versions as well as the new and "improved" special editions.
No dice. And thus, I'm not touching it.
George Lucas will get my $8 for Episode III, because cinematic train wrecks are fun. And then, never again.

I'm poor and can't affor a better computer. But someday I shall and then the trilogy shall be mine in all its orginal glory (complete with stormtrooper head bumps)

darius | I'm with Darius on this one. A few people have tried to justify the changes to me however I say "No". They just show a complete lack of respect for the audience. Lucas can keep his films. Maybe he'll be the saviour of VHS. | |

| I'm glad they are keeping the price low-under $50. I was expecting it to be a lot higher like other DVD box sets out there: which all seem to be around the $100 mark. | |
