Still, I believe my point has some validity, even if I'm a fine art philistine.

It does have some validity to it, but there are some younger audiences that started the series on Episode I, and then bought IV, V, and VI to complete the story. For those people it's good to see the ANAKIN they saw, in Episode VI.

Besides, the real story behind it is that it is supposed to show the form of which they are last a Jedi. And seeing as Anakin turned the darkside at a young age, it's almost validated to show that young Anakin in the end of Episode VI.

If your a film purist, you should OWN the originals already and shouldn't have to worry about the remastered versions. But in any case, I understand your point of view. But for those who started on Episode I, it's better to see an Anakin you can recognize in Episode VI....

But if this is true, wouldn't Darth have been a Jedi or again be Anakin when he saved his son and destroyed the Emporer in Return of the Jedi? In tat case, he should be shown as an old man. In any case, I don't think the point was worth changing to begin with. Its just George wanting to constantly tinker with his original, far superior, works.

The original versions were never made available on DVD, only on VHS, and the last VHS releases before DVD were of his reworked versions. I did have them on VHS, but they are just about worn out. I would like them on DVD, but George does not want US to have them.

Oh come now, Strangler, you know George Lucas will release an ultimate edition DVD box set once ROTS is out on DVD...

Featuring the originals, the special editions, the prequels, and the special edition remakes of the prequels that they were secretly working on all along....

And the christmas special...

There probably won't be a big special 6 episode DVD release until 2007, the 30th anniversary of ANH. And it most certainly won't have the Holiday Special. Or the original versions. Or even the versions we have now. It will probably have a little bit more tinkering (say, digital Yoda replacing the puppet in I, V, and VI?0 and stuff.

Although you were probably being sarcastic...

I finally saw it last saturday.

It was great. Made me want to instantly see 4-6 again. An almost perfect link between the trilogies.

Did you see the Millennium Falcon? I did, tried to show it to my g/f but I was too late. It's flying in when another ship comes to a planet.
Didn't notice George Lucas though.

What did you think of the opening scene? I thought it was perhaps a bit too intense. I had this feeling that it wasn't real, as if they would suddenly wake up and it was a dream. Probably had to do with the dialogs, which were also there very poor.
R2-D2 was cool, but a bit over the top? Suddenly he could use a cell phone ( ), defeat robots, catch things, jump.. oh well.

Very cool film.

The way Anakin turned evil was pretty good, but how he SUDDENLY did everything Sidious asked was a bit fast.

Some people don't think that Storm Troopers are clones, but I think it's pretty obvious now.

Edit: I didn't like all the jokes by the droids. "Run for your life!" Yeah right.

I loved the lizard thing, he was cute. At first I thought he was pretty stupid, but then I loved him.

I can finally appreciate Haiden in the last scene of RotJ. At first I hated it, but now I've gotten used to Anakin in this form. I liked him in RotS.

I don't think Palpatine suddenly ages and became ugly, but he lost his ability to mask himself. Remember that you see the ugly Sidious in Ep. 1 and 2. Palpatine was just a form to hide his true identity. I think.

Stormtroopers aren't clones. At least not all or even most of them (or even a large minority). What happened was that as the Empire spread, it became unnecessary to pay for all those expensive clones. So the Empire slowly began to replace their Clone Troopers with colunteers and conscripted soldiers.

The clones are just where they originated.

Ooooooooooh ok. And how do you know this?
