Matth_Stil Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Are you affiliated with that bizarre sub-sect of Star Wars fandom which hates the Star Wars CREATOR written & directed prequels? Edited May 30, 2012 by Matth_Stil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminminU Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 No, apart from being annoyed at greedo shooting first and anakin skywalker in the prequels i'm not butthurt about anything the maker has done. (GL should really be nicknamed the maker anyways, after all he created star wars and by extension C-3P0 who always states "thank the maker" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vepariga Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 no,I dont hate at all. I may disagree with some but nothing can be done about it so there is no point in whinging about it. I enjoy all the films as much as I did the first time,extra additions or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambeta Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Nope not at all. I have the original trilogy (un edited first cut) the special edition, the dvds and the blu rays. I don't care about the changes GL made to his movies as they're still brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolventhorne Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Changes are simply GL's vision for what he always wanted for the movies, but didn't always have the technology to accomplish. The only change that I can't stomach is the "NOOOOOOOOOOO" at the end of "Return". Otherwise, rock on GL, rock on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmthethird Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 i dislike a few things about GL, but the films aint one of them, i enjoyed them all. i don't mind the remakes or the changes. it really doesn't spoil things . GL would high on my list of most loved ppl, if only he would stop doing interviews, every time he opens his mouth i like him less and less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToEasy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 No, though somethings I don't agree with but I don't hate him. I enjoy all the movies, even with some of the slight changes he made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuscad Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 You left out Vader saying No in the Return of the Jedi Bluray edit: I forgot to say no, I just wish he would stop editing things that change major events in the story, I don't care if he adds more background characters or updates the special effects just don't change my themes. Greedo shooting first, Vader screaming No, Nooo! etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_JediKnight Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Vader screaming no wasn't actually a major theme change. From the perspective of the actual story it wasn't really much of a noticeable change at all, he still threw Palps down the shaft. It was a highly annoying change and one that wasn't necessary, but it didn't change the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttackAdaClones Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I think people that take George Lucas for granted suffer from entitlement issues. You can probably count the people on one hand that have brought such pure entertainment and ideas to entertainment. When you hold the the first Star Wars against their contemporaries, they do really well. When you hold them up against unrealistic hyperbolic standards, they don't.

It was a highly annoying change and one that wasn't necessary, but it didn't change the story. It made Palpatine dumber (or at least it seemed to in my opinion), No, Nooo! is now forever the canon exchange of words during that epic battle. I would like to think that Palpatine was smart enough to turn around and zap Vader when he started uttering No, when you are shocking someone's kid and they say no it means they disagree with you and you don't want Vader disagreeing with you. The utterance of those two no's took away all suspence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The utterance of those two no's took away all suspence. One could argue that Palpatine was too engrossed in torturing Luke to notice Vader, but yes you'd think with how powerful and smart he was he'd be paying more attention to Vader. I think you hit it right on with the suspense comment. While it wasn't a huge story change it was a major atmosphere change that made a big difference in the experience of watching the scene. I like to collect the different editions of movies but I'm still happiest when watching the original release versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
