    Star Wars

    Franchise »

    Star Wars is a space fantasy film franchise that initially told the tale of Luke Skywalker and a rebellion's struggle against the evil Galactic Empire. It has spawned over one hundred games, six sequels/prequels and at least millions of different shirts, action figures and other merchandise.

    Lucas adds even more changes to the original series. Sigh...

    I'm holding on to what little hope this isn't true...but if it is, that really, REALLY sucks...

    That completely ruins the scene for me. It's so powerful being in silence and now it's just silly all over. Hell it doesn't even look like he's saying it, because he isn't!

    Hahaha, Can't wait for him to argue that it's a mature anime that you need to watch IN JAPANESE to truly understand the complexity of the characters and relationships.

    As for Star Wars, I'm not even a massive fan, but even I can see that George Lucas has lost his mind.

    Why do I get the feeling that post was made as a joke and the only reason it's gotten so many responses unlike other similar joke responses in other threads is because of the avatar?

    That said, I don't think anyone can defend Gundam SEED as anything other than mediocre at best...

    On topic, watching that clip, it actually didn't sound horrible. It's not the loud bemoaning NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO from the end of the third movie. Though changing the script at all in the first place is a silly move

    Oh no. George Lucas is ruining Star Wars. Again. For the 5th time. To be fair, that is still kind of disgusting. Who knows? Maybe Yoda will be CG in the next re-release too, or maybe they'll find some way to screw up Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    But, you know what the solution is? Find your old VHS or DVD copies of the unaltered films and just watch those. I mean, Star Wars was pretty much ruined forever around 1997, but at least we can remember better, brighter days through use of primitive technology.

    Most folks just remake films. Why does Lucas need to slowly and painstakingly replace the original, scene by scene? If you're going to kill your creation, at least do it in one quick blow.  
     
    That "Indiana Jones rape" episode of South Park seems more and more on the ball.  
     
    EDIT: By 2027, Star Wars will consist entirely of a raunchy screwball comedy about a fraternity that takes over their college and shows the stuffy dean that it's not hip to be square. It will all culminate in a football game that will determine the fate of the school, which is won solely due to the frat's zany hijinks. The stuffy dean will thank the kids for saving the day, and he'll cut loose by removing his tie and joining the festivities, but the frat will get one last goof in and dump Gatorade over his head. (knocking his toupee askew, natch) Freeze frame, then cue the hit song "Footloose".

    I'm glad that outside of one extremely pointless CG shot in Raiders, the Indiana Jones remasters are mostly untouched.(I care more about it than Star Wars) Of course, they haven't said what the fuck they'll be doing with the blu-rays of that.

    Is he trying to make these movies perfect? Is that all that was missing for this to be a true masterpiece?

    I know why certain parts of the game directly conflict with what you say. It's because they wanted to hide the fact that Shitty Star Wars VS Augmentation is our future. Only the smartest people can notice this in the game. You discovered a conspiracy theory in a game about conspiracy theories, and by discovering that, you gave hope to humanity. I suggest that we should start our plan to murder George Lucas right now. For a future without Eddie Shoepatine!

    Fuck, that totally ruined the entire scene. You were supposed to feel Darth Vader's emotions as he defeated the emperor. It's almost as if Lucas doesn't think we understand the scene and need the 'No..Noooo" added in to help us recognize the situation.

    You just know that he's going to add in a special scene where luke and leia get it on...and the sad thing is, some people will probably get off to that, including George 'I'm wanking all over my own creation' Lucas. 
     
    So...anybody else not going to get this, and just watch the original, unedited movies instead?

    I could not be more done with Star Wars. It was a cool series when I was a kid, and then they were making the prequels and it was gonna be awesome but the movies were kinda bad despite the hype and nerd cred, and then the re-releases and ugh... The whole thing just needs to die.

    Wooow...I was merely pointing out the ludicrous notion of someone liking something which is usually considered childish making "for kids" a negative connotation. You obviously have taken this personally somehow though and we're down to name calling. Doody head.

    It's funny in so many ways. It's funny to think of George Lucas pouring over his original films going "Hmmm how can I make these more awesome? There appears to be only one thing missing from the entire trilogy". It's equally as funny to watch the reactions to something so insignificant.

    George Lucas is so disconnected from his original fanbase.  To this day, he refuses to admit that anything was wrong with the prequels.

    Damn it... I used to think all the new crap wouldn't be able to harsh my memories of the originals. Now it seems the only way to watch the originals is in an altered form. It's like he is trying to rewrite my memories with shit.

    I am so glad I gave up on Star Wars after Attack of the Clones.   I can't wait until he fucks with Empire (allegedly George Lucas hates Empire) to a point that it is unwatchable and even the die hard loyalist have to admit that he has gone to far.

    Yep, that's real. He decided to add vaders "noooo" to the end of return of the jedi. What the fuck is he thinking? All the hate he gets for changing stuff and keeps on doing it.  That one's so dumb too.
