quote:Star Wars' DVD Set to Debut in September February 10, 2004 By ANTHONY BREZNICAN / AP Entertainment Writer "Star Wars" fans will finally get the Force-feeding they've been asking for. The original three "Star Wars" films -- among the most anticipated on DVD -- will be released in the digital format Sept. 21 in North America, LucasFilm Ltd. and 20th Century...

But then he realized he could make twice the money by releasing them as (at least) two separate versions. I can't wait for HD-DVD to get here and fuck up everyone's collections again. That's gonna be rad. I've got the laser disks (THX and others), and as soon as I get my G5, I'll be making some proper DVDs. Though I hear there is one Hong Kong release that's supposed to be pretty solid.

AndrewR: Yes, I've seen the lost scenes, as I have the CD with them on. You can probably find them on the Internet somewhere. I'm not sure if these are all of the scenes they cut, just the most notable.
Also, I'm pretty sure Padme WILL NOT be added to the DVD.

I wouldn't expect him to make any changes from the SE. But then, out of all the changes, only two of them really, really piss everyone off.
1/ Stupid new dance number in Jedi (although to be fair, almost all of Jabba's Palace is rubbish).
2/ Greedo. Shooting. First.
If he just changes the second of them, people up and down the land will proclaim him as their new god. Again.

4. If you're referring to the "Alert My Star Destroyer To Prepare For My Arrival", I'm sure I read somewhere (possibly TheForce.net) confirmation that it actually is James Earl Jones, and it's an original line that was never used.
If not, really, it's not a big deal. Not on the Greedo level.

Who gives a fuck whether Greedo or Han shoots first? Honestly, that's about the most unimportant issue on the planet - or any other planet for that matter.

Because it speaks volumes about Solo's character, dammit.

I don't see the significance, really. Han Solo is a hard-edged badass likeable kind of guy. Whether that Greedo punk shoots first or not doesn't change that fact a bit.
Get a life!

I think it speaks more about Greedo as a credible threat. I mean if he can miss, by about half a meter, someone who is sitting right in front of him then he's pretty fucking useless, isn't he? To paraphrase Dr McCoy; how can he be blind with eyes like that?!
Not that changing the scene really bothered me (and I quite liked the 'Jedi Rocks' sequence ) but I do perfer the idea that Han is cold blooded enough to shoot shoot someone under the table without much warning.

I read an interview with Lucas a while back in either Star Wars Insider or Cinemafantastique or some similar mag where he stated that Greedo had always fired first, but the sequence of shots in the original cut didn't make that clear, hence fans thinking that Solo fired first. He said the more obvious shot in the SE was simply to clarify what he had always intended.
Now, of course, there are many fantics who will just say Lucas is full of bullshit, but for what it's worth...

If Han didn't fire first, Han is a moron. If Lucas didn't intend for him to fire first, Lucas is a moron. And that's all I have to say about that.
