How hard would it be to rip the laser disc version of those scenes and splice them into the DVD version anyway? Yeah, some color tuning and some other tweaks might be necessary, but who is really going to notice a drop in image resolution for a few seconds as long as the colors and everything else match up perfectly? Seems easy to do to me, provided you have a good digital rip of the original.

The changes wouldn't be so bad if the actors they're dubbing in didn't suck so much.

I will probably go see Episode III in the theater at some point but I may just wait until it comes out on HBO.

None of the huge marketing machine spun off of the last of this series will have any effect on me or my hard earned money. I fvcking guarantee it!!! :| as hell.

Do I have to say it JulesMaximus? ;)

they made many many changes to the movies when they were re-released, but i find that one to be the most offensive.

That change never made sense to me. Obi Wan dies, Luke starts seeing old Obi-Wan. Yoda dies, Luke sees old Yoda. Darth Vader dies...Luke sees pubescent Vader???

Han shot first. Han shot first. <sobs>

Lucas needs to stop messing with the movies.

How much you want to bet that when they re-release the movies to Blu-Ray DVD he screws with them again.

(I would however allow for extra scenes showing Jar Jar having his arms ripped out of his sockets by a wookie)

If Lucas really wanted to fvck with us, he'd release a new version that let you switch between two versions of the movie: One where Han fires first, and the other where Greedo fires first, but including the Jar Jar arm socket wookie scene.
