George Lucas:Destroyer of Rainbows

http://www.allheadlinenews.com/arti...s' changes for Blu-ray spark outcry from fans

New edits include:
-Vader yelling "NoOoOOOOoo!" a few times at Palpatine as he electrocutes Luke before he throws him.
(probably the same yell from Revenge of the Sith)
-Yoda is now fully CG in The Phantom Menace, as well.
-But the WORST... They overdubbed some of Sir Alec Guiness' dialogue...

This man must be stopped...

Ugh, yes every new decision he makes is for the worst.



That said, I am a total fucking whore and will be buying THE SHIT out of the new blu ray set.
I am the reason he is able to make more shitty decisions.

 

[Archelaos]

OH...AGgGggHh.... damn you... both of you...

When I first read about this, I thought it was saying they totally overdubbed Alec Guiness with Ewan McGregor. I would have exploded...

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

hahahaha no that would be worthy of violent protests on the street, London style.

 

[Archelaos]

I really don't understand. I understand being a perfectionist, and I definitly understand doing things for continuity sake, but this stuff is stupid. He's changing the story!

And also, I just hate stuff like this. I like the movie being the way it is. I bought Terminator 2 on dvd. But it's the extended version. I can't stand it. They knew what to cut for theaters, because the movie with all the added stuff is so goddamn boring...

And yeah, oh my god... Replacing old Anakin was pretty bad, but... Alec..?!?!??! NO, no. Murder.

bluray aint go shit on the old vhs copies my parents tapped off a free HBO weekend when i was a kid in the 80s

 

[Archelaos]

Yeah, vinyl sounds better than cd anyway!

On a legit note, I actually hate blu-ray. And HD tvs. Blegh.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I'm more excited by the supposed added footage in the bluray sets. Like the scenes with Luke and Biggs on Tattooine, which I assume were restored in some fancy CGI manner.

 

[ShadowsWithin]

i kinda like the CGI yoda in phantom menace, that puppet was super fucked up looking.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

PUPPET YODA UBER ALLES.

I have not bought a Star Wars movie since I bought the special edition VHS when they first came out, and was very much looking forward to the Blu-Ray editions. But each time new information comes out about them, the less likely I'll give a shit. I think the biggest offender of all of the bad news so far to me is that Lucas isn't even doing a true "modern" transfer and we're basically going to get a first generation Blu-Ray. It will basically be barely above the DVDs that have been out for years in terms of picture quality.

It's probably so in another three or four years we can buy the "Ultra Special Edition 3D" since he's also supposedly reworking all six for 3D and the theaters again. How much shit is that?
Also, the "Noooooo" change is fucking stupid, and takes so much away from that scene it's not even funny.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

He's a master business man, that's for sure.

 

[Archelaos]

I wonder if him and Jon Schaffer are in a club.

 

[Talking Backwards]

Han needs to do the galaxy a favor and save us from Lucas' dimentia by taking him outside to the back of the cantina and shooting first.

 

[Liverslapper]

Bunch of nerds you all are.
