I agree.
The only things that come to mind in the special editions that I didn't like were...
Greedo shooting first (didn't look good, didn't make sense)
Han walking on Jabba's tail (really shoulda thought up a different solution)
and I agree on the removal of Lapti Nek (didn't mind the new song, but it was unecessary,
just shoulda tarted up the old song a bit).

Things I'd love to see changed in the future...

1. totally CGI the attack on the Death Star battle (the current remaining original effects shots
stand out like a sore thumb...and they look dated, and dare I say...a bit cheap) Same goes
for Return Of The Jedi.

2. In fact CGI ALL space based stuff, but keep the same basic 'shots' and composition.

3. Re-do Jabba in A New Hope so he looks like the ones in the other films (and NO walking on
his tail!...totally undermines his 'crime-boss' persona)

4. Greedo shoots first (obvious one)

5. CGI Walkers/Snowspeeder battle on Hoth. Again recreate most of the shots fairly faithfully,
but add a few more 'wow' shots and vertigo inducing flybys.

6. CGI Scout Walkers and Speeder Bikes on Endor. The problem with a lot of the old blue
screen work is that the scale against the backgrounds often doesn't feel consistent and there's
a lack of shadows and interaction the the backgrounds...easily solved with CGI.

7. Replace a lot of the old matt paintings with more three dimensional CGI work.

8. Get rid of some of the 'jumps' in A New Hope when Lightsabers are turned on or off, or
blast doors close quickly. Can be done very effectively now with some subtle CGI morphing.

I think I'll leave it there, before I get too geeky(er)

biggrin



You'll be satisfied then as i heard many chnages concern the areas you mentioned. But "que sera sera"...

Jedimaster the photoshop suspicion was on my mind before your post!!! Read further up!!! razz razz

Pretty slow for a jedi!!!! lol


Actually, I read your post, and it was what prompted me to find a pic of the original to compare it to. Now that I have seen the comparison, there is no doubt in my mind its a fake.

Well I'm glad that's been debunked. Harry Knowles is a stupid fat wanker.


Yep. He used to be kinda cool, then he started thinking he was a celebrity and its really gone to his head. We have a mutual friend (the same one who knows Tarantino), so I've hung out with him a few times. At first I liked him, but nowadays I think he's an idiot!
