Looks pretty good. Unfortunately, they were unable to make Anakin less gay.

Aren't these the super bastardized versions all the fanboys bitch about? I honestly wouldn't know since I didn't even know these were out yet. I might pick them up either way, I love the original trilogy.

I might pick them up either way, I love the original trilogy. Pretty much. Except in Blu Ray!!! I get tired of seeing people bitching all the time about Them almost as much as when comic book nerds complain that a comic book movie isn't true to the comic. Hey, nerds, it's make believe. Get over it. ;D

I've read alot of bad things about the set, actually, but I'll probably still get it. I've been waiting for a set to come out for quite a while, and I don't think it too likely a different one will follow next year or anything.
I took a look at the amazon reviews, and they are astoundingly bad. I've never been too worried about them changing stuff (except for Greedo shooting first, THAT pisses me off), but if you are, this set is really bad news, apparently.

It looks terrible and it ruins the characterization of Han Solo. It's just bad storytelling. I won't be buying these. He'll release the originals untouched eventually. I'll just wait. I don't need his redone bullshit or those fucking stupid new movies.

I guess Darth Vader screams "No" when he kills the Emperor in Return of the Jedi.

Should I post a bunch of clips of the original Trilogy to show how good the new movies should be. I mean hey, it works for Original Sin Cara right?

I never really cared for the changed songs in Return of the Jedi either. Like I said though, I'm content to just wait for the untouched ones to come out. Sounds like the Blu-Rays have some technical problems anyways.

I'm fine with most of the stuff... like having the Storm Troopers ride lizards.. the shots of Corsucant, that sorta thing. It makes total sense to me that some stuff they couldn't do in 1976 that they can now Lucas would want to put in.
I read about the Vader thing... I'd have to see it to see what I think, but that doesn't sound horrible.
It's the Greedo thing that bugs me. Han Solo is NOT suppose to be a nice guy.. that's what the movie is all about, IMO,.. him coming around to the cause. Shooting Greedo points out how he's NOT nice, and he's dangerous. The change just makes him... boring... It annoys me that I'll have to explain it to my daughter.. it takes away from the movie IMO.
Making Yoda CGI and Ewoks blink, whatever.

Finished all six Blu rays and the thing that bothered me most ironically is the end music in Jedi is not the Ewok Song. I have no idea what the name is but I've always identified the end of Jedi with that song but the song they put instead is pretty lame.

That always bothered me. I never identified the song until I listened to a show a few years ago that used it as their exit music. But it always bothered me that it wasn't there too.

I'm gonna go get the original trilogy today, possibly with X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I just wanna watch some got-dang movies today.

Funnily enough, my wife decided that my girls needed to watch the movies (I've played alot of Lego Star Wars with my oldest, but she never actually watched the movie) so she got it out of the library... which was the 2004 set that has the originals... so I got to watch the original, without have to explain about the Han Solo/Greedo scene. That was very cool
