roneSo, in the "Return of the Jedi" DVD, Lucas removed Sebastian Shaw's ghost appearance in the end of the movie and replaced it with Hayden Christensen. Is there no end to Lucas's perfidy? Why hasn't some crazed fan pied him in the face by now? I know, i wish i could remove this emotional attachment i have to the Star Wars movies, because they really aren't that good. But still... Lucas should not go unpunished.

That was enough.

How about Tolkein, who rewrote the riddle game episode of The Hobbit to make it consistent with The Lord of the Rings? How about anyone who's ever published a second edition of anything.
EARTH TO RONE: It's Lucas's movie.

Date: 2004-09-21 06:04 pm (UTC)ME! I saw it! It was long ago in a theater far, far away. It may have been before you were a sentient being, in the days of hardcopy edits and typewriters. (And dinosaurs)
Would I notice any changes? Right - as if I remember it at all! Bald heads. White room. Donald Pleasance (sp?). Robert Duvall? I read somewhere the DVD includes the original, the altered, and great goobery gobs of more stuff.

Date: 2004-09-20 08:41 pm (UTC)I say this. They're his movies. If he wants to tinker with them, then let him do as he pleases! People act like the fans own the movies. We don't own shit. He wants to make the final product that he makes. Artists should be so lucky. I personally will buy the DVD's, enjoy them, and go on my merry way.
It's his story to tell, and retell if he likes. If you don't like it, watch something else. Jeeezeus

musical number "Road to Tatooine" work better rhythmically.
