I don't know why but I'm really interested in this; I just want to see what they changed and how significant of an upgrade the visuals got. Plus it also gives me the excuse to try to watch ALL the movies in one day.
I'd understand if you just weren't interested but to label it "just a movie" is almost as if you're begging for attention. Star Wars is obviously an extremely popular series and this is a nice collection item for those that love it. It means a little more than just a movie to others, especially myself, since some seem to have grown up with it as personal favorites and may actually love the themes these movies carry.RockmanForte said:Not interesting. I would save my money over this. It is just movie.
All movies are "just a movie." Are you saying people shouldn't buy movies?RockmanForte said:It is just movie.
The one where Han steps on Jabba's tail? I think it's best to avoid that one.Gahars said:The added scene with Jabba and Han Solo (fixing an old deleted scene), however, is the exception; definitely catch that online afterwards.

Where Darth Vader betrays the Emperor and throws him off the balcony, he's usually silent. Apparantly now he screams out 'NO!' a few times as he sees Luke being frazzled. Like Lucas hasn't brutally raped this franchise enough.
Veho said:The original scene had a human actor playing Jabba, and Han even calls him a "wonderful human being." In the theatrical remasters (and the DVD), the scene was "fixed" and readded, but there's a problem: in the original scene, Han is walking around human Jabba, too close to fit the CGI Jabba's tail later on. So they "solved" this problem by having Han walk over Jabba. As someone said: given the situation, and Jabba's power and reputation and temperament, it's the equivalent of coming to Don Corleone to ask for an extension on your debt deadline, and then kicking him in the nuts.
Original scene.
Remastered scene.
Also, the CGI Jabba looks horrible.
