[Easy 10]

And with 5.1 surround sound, the digitally remastered DVD versions should be a sumptuous orgasmic treat for the eyes, and an exhilerating, pumping ONSLAUGHT for the ears. Hopefully I'll get it for my birthday in a couple of weeks.

Bring. It. On.

Cheeky GIT.
Your chip-pilfering skills are impressive though, I must admit.

You caught me napping last time - I was distracted by the Big Screen when you glided in at my rear, reached over my shoulder, grabbed it from under my nose, and then greedily stuffed it into your mouth in one swift movement before I had time to react.

You can't win though Marc. Eat one more of my chips, and I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine...

(god I'm talking BOLLOCKS today. Sorry).

 

[Marc]

I saw your plate in the Cantina in Mos Southwick and noticed that the barman did'nt allow droids in, thus hindering your defences and allowing for my X-Wing like manouvere (sp?) over to your chips with what was a hint of sauce from the Pie-Fighter...most delicious!

 

[tinx]

My box set arrived before I went to work this morning, think a viewing of A new hope is in order this evening.

 

[Faldo]

Seriously - this thread is giving star wars geeks a bad name!

You flew your x-wing over his chips??!!?? GAH!

PS. Am getting mine on Thursday, and probably pulling a sicky Friday. I have foreseen it!

[Highfields Seagull]

Are the DVDs the original films, or the special edition extra bits added in ones?

 

[Marc]

nah they are the updated ones...and newly updated with different things in, for example the Storm Troopers now have the voice of Boba Fetts dad as he was used as a monkey for the Clones!

 

[Highfields Seagull]

Hmmm, I'd prefer the original ROTJ end music, but I guess I'll go out and buy them anyway.

You mean Jango the Aussie Clone. It makes more sense Stormtroopers having an Aussie accent and probably explains why they can't shoot straight. Probably also explains why the death star wasn't built in Return of the Jedi.

'Sorry Darth, Warno and the boys knocked off early for a couple of jars & Stevo here has been bit by a Scorpion. Death star will be running late mate'

 

[Highfields Seagull]

Though I think the guy is from New Zealand and was in Shortland Street, and also the excellent film Once Were Warriors.

Have you seen Clerks ?
There's a classic in-depth conversation in that film about the construction workers on the Death Star, and the rebels' callous disregard for them when they destroyed the partially completed Death Star in The Empire Strikes Back.

Although one of the other guys was passionately arguing the case that the construction workers knew the risks, taking on contract work for the Dark Side.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Clerks is funny as f***.

IMHO it's Kevin Smiths best one.

 

[Easy 10]

"I'm not even supposed to BE here today"

Clerks is one of those little-known unsung classic films. I may try to acquire it in the near future. That and High Fidelity.

 

[Marc]

never seen Clerks but always known its one of those must see films...just getting around to it innit

Why Lucas tinkered with 'Star Wars'

Q: Why did you rework the original trilogy into the special-edition versions in the late 1990s?

LUCAS: To me, the special edition ones are the films I wanted to make. Anybody that makes films knows the film is never finished. It's abandoned or it's ripped out of your hands, and it's thrown into the marketplace, never finished. It's a very rare experience where you find a filmmaker who says, "That's exactly what I wanted. I got everything I needed. I made it just perfect. I'm going to put it out there." And even most artists, most painters, even composers would want to come back and redo their work now. They've got a new perspective on it, they've got more resources, they have better technology, and they can fix or finish the things that were never done. ...

I wanted to actually finish the film the way it was meant to be when I was originally doing it. At the beginning, people went, "Don't you like it?" I said, "Well, the film only came out to be 25 or 30 percent of what I wanted it to be." They said, "What are you talking about?" So finally, I stopped saying that, but if you read any interviews for about an eight- or nine-year period there, it was all about how disappointed I was and how unhappy I was and what a dismal experience it was. You know, it's too bad you need to get kind of half a job done and never get to finish it. So this was my chance to finish it.

Q: Why not release both the originals and special editions on DVD?

LUCAS: The special edition, that's the one I wanted out there. The other movie, it's on VHS, if anybody wants it. ...

I'm not going to spend the, we're talking millions of dollars here, the money and the time to refurbish that, because to me, it doesn't really exist anymore. It's like this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I'm sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it. But I want it to be the way I want it to be.

I'm the one who has to take responsibility for it. I'm the one who has to have everybody throw rocks at me all the time, so at least if they're going to throw rocks at me, they're going to throw rocks at me for something I love rather than something I think is not very good, or at least something I think is not finished.
