The REALLY original Star Wars films

I bought the new Special Edition set of the original movies, what a  :soapbox: disappointment. IMO, its rightfully called "special", not for being good, but in a "mentally handicapped" kinda way.  After watching them all, I immediately scoured the torrent sites for the original Laserdisc rips. Now when I have a Star Wars craving, I only watch the Laserdisc ones.

Oh, also in my mind, there is no Episode 1,2 or 3...just like the sequels to the Matrix.  :angry:

ahofle:
There was a fan edit a few years ago that was REALLY well done.  Fixed up some of the issues with the re-release, cleaned up some things even the re-release didn't, and was really well done.  Problem was it was in SD only since it used LD footage.  I can't seem to find it now.  Wonder if it was pulled?

You mean these ones?  ;D  Take note these are still "Special Edition" copies, they just don't have the poxy add ins that the recent DVD release has.  Original, original Star Wars laser disc copies are hard to get, especially in Wide Screen (or complete screen as I prefer to call it), the original VHS copies I had were Pan and Scan (4:3) aspect, which I gave to my brother in law.



I haven't watched these in a while.  I do remember being pretty unhappy with the DVD version I have of the trilogy, with the updated ending of Ep. 6 with Hayden Christensen being digitised in for Anakin in place of the original.   I've nothing against CGI when it's used well, but nothing replaces a great story, dialog, direction, acting,  :blah: :blah:

Say what? I honestly thought my opinion couldn't possibly get any lower what with that  :censored: Jar Jar and Hans Solo vs Greedo amongst a myriad of other ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- nonsense, but this too? Congratulations you have successfully moved a bar that much lower.

I now can't decide which one is that much more worthless, Jack Thompson or George Lucas.
