This. I cringed the first time I saw again after watching the TPM. Far from the best movie but the Maul/Obi/Qui-gon fight was badass.

Thematically it rocks. As a fight... Well it's not really much of one.

I read that Fisher was on the set at Pinewood yesterday. She also just shot a guest spot for a game show hosted by Stephen Fry... and it looks like her hair has been dyed grey. She was still a brunette while doing talk show appearances last week.

This has nothing to do with Episode VII, but I was watching some of Episode IV tonight on Blu-ray. Dear heavens, I completely forgot about the change they made to the Krayt Dragon call and just about died laughing... What were they thinking??

LMAO. That sounds like a stoner accidentally sitting on a bicycle with no seat.

Yeah, that Episode IV change is just one example of them changing something for no good reason at all.

Really the only good change they made was changing the Emperor hologram in ESB to Ian McDiarmid.

The krayt dragon and the "noooooo" at the end of Jedi are when the OT changes went from a "kinda, sorta, maybe good idea that should've been done better" to a complete parody. How anyone can defend any of that nonsense I will never know.

Isn't that the second time the dragon sound was changed?

I thought the DVD's in 2004 had a sound that was close to what Obi-Wan's lizard thing in ROTS sounded like. Then the anally-intruded hippie yell was new for the Blu-ray.

What a legacy for Lucas.

Does anybody actually defend it, or are you referring to Lucas?

You'd be surprised how many people defend that shit online.

"Lucas is just mirroring the one from ROTS"

"He's just tying it all together"

That "no" scream is the sole reason I've held back on buying the Star Wars Blu-ray set.

Really? Wow, I appreciated some of instances where they cleaned up the special effects, but I thought the majority of the tinkering was universally hated.

For me, it's replacing Sebastian Shaw with Hayden Christensen as Anakin's Force ghost. That is the absolute biggest pile of bullshit I have ever seen in my life. I don't like many of the other changes, but that particular change is the only one I absolutely hate with every fiber of my being. Lucas deserves to be punched in the face for doing that horseshit. Fucking hell, I can feel my blood pressure skyrocket just thinking about it.

I felt the way it was done was poor. If Lucas was intent on making the change, I would prefer that Shaw and Guinness be the ghosts in the beginning, then they could fade into Christensen and McGregor. Yoda's ghost can morph into Kermit.
