I got the 6 movies on blu-ray. It looks wonderful on my 63" tv. My 2 year old loves Phantom Menace and refers to it as "Robot Movie?" So, I guess Lucas hit his target demo right on.

Let's also boycott the Director's Cut of The Gathering. Damn that greedy Straczynski for altering his original movie to make it more like he wanted it do be! And if they ever dare to bring out a Blu-Ray version with new special effects, I'm gonna be so pissed!

I will buy SW on BD when they release the unaltered original trilogy in that format.

well if you hang on a few years I'm sure they will release a special edition Blu-ray with the original trilogy in its original state remastered up to DVD standard in the extras.
Then in six years the inevitable 40th anniversary super smashing Ultra high-definition from the future release will come along with even more changes and just maybe you might see the original versions of the original trilogy in hi def.
Smile of the shadow, in my honest opinion Star Wars and Star Trek are both irrelevant. They were both hugely influential and important milestones in science-fiction, as we all know. But neither has pushed the boundaries in any respect. Sadly science-fiction is stagnating and comic book fantasy superheros have all but destroyed the genre.

One of the most highly publicized and documented film franchises is without a doubt George Lucas' (sadly ever-changing) Star Wars saga.

Passionate and dedicated fan Jamie Benning has crafted an entire trilogy of documentaries using more than 30 years worth of archival footage and interviews that will surprise even the most educated fan. See them all below! ...
Here's the documentaries (via SlashFilm) starting with Star Wars Begins:

Originally posted by Looney View PostI heard that there is a feeble attempt to boycott the newly altered versions of Star Wars that are about to be released on BLU-RAY. I thought to myself, "What would be more fun than spreading the word about such a thing?!" George Lucas is once again tinkering with Star Wars because, I guess, he just has too much money and time on his hands. So, let's just say no to buying this product.
When do we want it? Whenever!

For me, I'm sticking with my old laser discs ported over to DVD and then borrowing a friend's blu-ray discs to watch the special features. I have no interest in watching these re-re-re-worked versions.
Doesn't the keeping '...the originals out of circulation' involve a legal action/pay-out with his (then) wife?
I suspect that in his mind, this is just crossing the 'T's and dotting the 'I's on the original trilogy. What he is really doing is proving to the world just hows shoddily written the PT movies really were. Which is just plain laziness. He had the OT, he knew where all the sentimental 'touching posts' needed to be, he knew all the plot elements he needed to establish. So why did he manage to miss so many of them by so far.
