Never mind. I gotta head on out to K-Mart anyways. So I'll just take a look
and see if it's out anyways. Thanks.

Well, I'm back, and I have some strange news about the Star Wars DVD set.
Apparently, a flaw was discovered, and a recall was issued, and
no stores are allowed to sell them.
There is no afficial date when the revised/modified or fixed or re-pressed
DVD's will be out.
I'm just curious.. If there was a flow:
* What was it ??
* and, How much does it impact the set ??
* and, why hasn't anyone here discovered it yet, (HERE) to date ??
It must be a serious flaw.., like maybe they forgot to incrypt it hehe..
Or, worse.., JL left his finger print on the master.. I don't know.. anyways.
Any ideas/comments anyone ??

Can you imagine all those discs that have to be replaced? I'm sure every store in America over stocked too.
Yoda is going to be pissed if the release date is pushed back from the 21st. -

In any case him being an inept filmaker is completely relative, Some scenes call for more, some call for less. Some might find no sight of the wampa scarier others may find the new footage infinitely more frightening. That scene was the weakest in empire (even before the SE version). You can tell by the editing alone it was botched on the set from the get go. From the corny post process slo-mo to the lame swipe Luke takes at the beast.
Someone who criticizes filmakers should at least have a rudimentary knowledge of filmaking.

He's the guy who invented the whole Star Wars universe, that you all consider a work of art, and amazed your childhood, sure hes not the best director in the world, but he has a fantastic imagination that has brought these films and other like the Indiana Jones trilogy and ahem Howard The Duck to the screen.
Inept is hardly the word i would use, the only problem i have with him is his moving into silly Childrens like stuff in his films like ROTJ and TPM, which i rate as the two weakest in the trilogy.
Also on a note about the DVD delay, bit of bummer if it is, but as for prices amazon has the NTSC one at $41.99 and the Pal release at £26.99, not bad really.
Only flaw i noticed was the NTSC one has a FS version, you guys dont still buy FS films do you, forgot about Special Editions, thats the biggest sacrilidge of all, watching Star Wars in FS -
If you watch the Howard, Indy and even SW films close enough, you'll see these odd "WTF?" type errors that really should not have been.
I can agree that Lucas isn't perfect, so he should just quit trying. Every new "improvement" tends to muck up something else.
It doesn't take rocket science or "film director school" or whatever to figure out "what's wrong!?" in a picture. For pete's sake, that's the kind of thing kids see in Highlights magazine. Lucas apparently didn't have that subscription when he was younger.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

vhelp...what exactly is your source? Because I've seen nothing about it and you would think they'd mention something considering there is five days before the release.

Lucas is probably obsessive-compulsive. Most of use normal folks just let it go. Cut your losses on imperfection, and try better on the next project. If he'd have worried more about 1-3, and less about fixing 4-6, maybe the first 3 would not have sucked so much.

He was fixing continuity problems. -

He is for the $$$$. He just wouldn't give a damn to those want the original for sentimental reason. Success breeds arrogance.

Just goes to show you how only $8 million can go a long way in telling a story and how $120 million winds up with dialog flatter than your refutal. (That was a rebuttal, by the way)."What? Huh?!?

Bringing him in the first film in the Special Edition seemed superfluous, but I do see the value in it so I agree that it does actually help.
But that's not my point. My point is that he actually "foot himself in the shot" by "progressing" himself into a new continuity error. SUCH ATTENTION TO DETAIL!! Mind-boggling."What? Huh?!? WHAT will come out no more?!?" Jack Burton -- BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA -
Yes but You still had really no idea about jabba and the storyline. When he brought in Jaba, the story made more sense.

Why not think for once? He is a creator. It does not matter what any of us think. If I were in his position, I would do the same thing. -

Perfectly sensible for Han to shoot Greedo in the original version. Giving Greedo the first shot isn't fixing the film, it's selling out to make it more politically correct so idiots who can't tell from the dialogue that it was justified already will think it's ok.. And clearly an afterthought mod to make it more palatable for to some, not something that was left out of the original.
Of course do what he wants. But half of what made it happen in 1976 was the realness, the slightly unfinished feel. Slick it up enough and no doubt he can turn it into another Episode I.

A flaw is one thing, a recall is another thing entirely. I read about this audio problem and either Lucas or someone connected with the DVDs just said that it was a limitation of their source. I'm pretty skeptical that there has actually been a recall myself. There is no way in hell any studio would recall a release just for an audio glitch in a single scene.

edit - pchan would you work for free, would anyone, i dont care how rich you are, but this release is definetly not for the money, probably the opposite. -
I work for money. I need to bring bacon home to feed me & my family. The same goes for SW DVD... profits for the share holders. Like I say before, I will gladly pay for the original version in DVD.
