Wow, it seems so wrong, just so out of place, it doesn't even sound like Vader. Goddammit, this crap has got to stop George.
LucasFilms Confirms adding "NOOOOOO!" to Return of the Jedi
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
Aren't they still selling the unedited DVD trilogies??Twilight_guy said:
I did get the "enhanced" version, caught me by surprise but hey it was the first DVDs. But eh when the ol' VHS tapes finally die, those DVDs will still be out there most likely (hopefully...if not...nooooooooooooooo)
Wanna hear something that'll piss off you fanboys out there even worse? A "no" could work here, just not a big ol' scenery-chewing "no".
TV Tropes calls it the "Little No," and provide a proper example, everyone's favorite hippy, Brandon Whittaker! Skip to 4:05 for the moment of truth:
That would actually work pretty well, I think. Can't you just hear it? Can't you just hear James Earl Jones's voice shattering the silence, not with a scream, but a whisper? Lucas keeps his shitty little callback, everyone else keeps their low blood-pressure.
EDIT: Sure, the fanboys who hate all change will still be pissed off, but who gives a fuck about y- them. I said them.

why do I have the feeling Lucus is just gonna go ahead and replace mark hammel with the anakin from 2 and 3 and find a way to staple jar jar in there some howascorbius said:
Haha!
Oh man! How or why is Lucas messing with the classics he himself created that have become so freakishly popular? They were fine as you made them, George, there is seriously no reason to change anything.
I would really like to know what goes on in that man's head - he's an enigma.
In regards to the changes: at least it's worth a laugh as well as a sigh. I gave a solid chuckle to the shoehorned, exaggerated "no!".

There is the option of downloading the remastered versions (in 720p) of the 1977 originals
they're awesome
they're awesome
its not AS bad as i thought it was gonna be but its still a stupid move. on the other hand i also like the prequel trilogy so i must be a retard.
George Lucas "made" "great" films in the 70s and 80s by letting other people (with actual talent) run away with his ideas. Any time he touches anything after it's been written down on paper, things can only become worse.Greg Tito said:
He's like a chef who buys all the perfect ingredients and theorizes the perfect recipe, only to burn down his entire village the minute he turns on the stove.
Or a deadbeat, alcoholic father who can only succeed in traumatizing and abusing his offspring after he births them.
STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOUR CHILDREN, GEORGE. IF YOU LOVE THEM YOU WILL STAY OUT OF THEIR LIVES FOREVER.
I actually really like this idea. Though I doubt it will actually get done for real, maybe someone with the time could do this on YouTube or something cause now I really want to see it.ewhac said:
Jesus Christ, what is WRONG with you guys?
Buy the bloody thing on VHS, you get the original one or here's another one! Don't but the movie at all.
Now, was that so hard?

There comes a point where the only sane choice is to walk away.
Getting angry over the internet is cathartic, but ultimately pointless. I would not be surprised if an unaltered version of the Original Trilogy is never released. But whether it does or doesn't is not something I have control over. Life is fleeting, and there are plenty of other things to get nerd hard-ons for.

..And I shall officially never enjoy the ending of Return of the Jedi ever again, unless I resort to less-digitally-mastered versions of the movie for my viewing pleasure.
George Lucas.. "Why?"
George Lucas.. "Why?"
Well looks like George "Franchisicide" Lucas has created a new level of Franchisicide.
The Lucas level of Franchisicide consists of first creating terrible movies after the success of the originals, remaking one of the originals to include a character that NOBODY liked and reminds everyone of one of the terrible movies, and then KILLING the atmosphere of a classic scene by forcing in dialogue.
And its worth noting that if he did the voice then James Earl Jones is also to blame because he could've just as easily said no, although knowing lucas he just cobbled together the new lines from various other movies and thats pretty clearly what happened. I mean do you hear the difference between the two different no's? One is clearly from Empire and the other is probably that god awful cry from Revenge.
If people would JUST STOP BUYING THIS STUFF it would teach him a lesson but no the fans have to be sheep, lucas could remake the entire series as 2 cats meowing at each other and the fans would buy it. This latest bastardization of the series has caused me to boycott star wars entirely, i was thinking about trying Old Republic but if i did the money might get to lucas and the only thing i want him to get is a slow painful death.

ugh, it's not bad enough he had to go ruin Star Wars by making the new trilogy.
He also has to go keep adding shit to the old movies.
I don't know how many of you here have seen the DVD versions of the original trilogy of Star Wars?
God how awful that was (take for example the scene where Obi goes: these are not the droids you are looking for. This scene is entirely destroyed now by the fact that Lucas decided to put droids and massive star wars creatures IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA now, basically actually hiding the entire scene... it's like wtf?!?) and now he does this too?!?!
I think this is a true moment for me to actually scream
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
In real life

I don't mean to be offensive when I say this. Watching the relationship between Star Wars fans and George Lucas, to me, is like watching a friend in a domestic abuse situation. Without the life threatening and physical harm.
In the beginning, everything seems like roses. You can't go a day without hearing your buddy tell you how great George is, and what George did. Then, the drinking starts. Next thing you know, your buddy shows up with some marks that weren't previously there. You watch as your buddy goes on an emotional roller coaster with every new act you hear about. It starts with anger; then quickly shifts to guilt before a sudden swing to acceptance and then some twisted adoration. You tell your buddy that you'll call some help for him, but he makes you promise not to. So you just have to watch as your buddy keeps going back into that house. And, you keep trying to tell him, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH/BUY THE MOVIES." But your buddy goes on about how he will change - about how George just needs support. You tell him that no matter how much he supports George, he will never change.
But your buddy goes back anyway...
*SLAP*
You heard that slap from the next block. Your buddy comes running, crying. That old bastard George has struck again. And left a mark. And, he tells you that old George has taken his money for another remaster of a remaster. You look up, and Lucas, dressed in his wife-beater, shuffles out the house - bum-stumble drunk and nursing a Natty Ice. He nearly trips on the hose in the yard, and shouts "Where 'you think you're goin'? I've made more EDITS!" You think to yourself that the cops should take this man away - that SOMEBODY has to stop him. The neighbors, they all know, but no one says anything. So, you look your buddy in his now-blackened eye, and watch as George drags him by the arm back into the house. As they're getting farther away, you mouth the words, "you've got to stop buying those movies. You've got to leave Star Wars." The look on your buddy's face tells of his comprehension of your advice; but you know that this will happen again...

Ha, ha, ha. You can fuck the movies all you want, Mr.Lucas. I still have this from 2000 and I ain't changing it for nothing.
But really, he doesn't listen to the fans. At all. And considering that you gave birth to one of the biggest fanbases in history and still make something like the dance scene, you are either born with earplugs or stupidity incarnate.
