General Star Wars Bizarre things
 
Let's face it, for a little old movie that get's re-issued and re-made as much as this one, (and these others)
Star Wars generates an awful lot of story material. This might be a good thread for depositing the best.

Here is a pretty funny story.......

Great idea for a thread, Brad!:tu

My profile page is getting full. A lot of guys post their Star Wars finding there.

Here is my contribution:

Ehh, not so sure of that. Give him one more generation of kids and one more quirk in the technology
and there will be a Star Wars in 5-D or Sensurround or something like that. But then again, maybe he
understands he is just too old to deal with that even. I do feel for the guy regarding the fanboy
phenomenon. It's a shame when people take ownership of something you created and tell you what's
right and what's not about it. You see that a lot now in the internet age where Joe Schmoo people have
all this access to other people and have to strive to come up with content to impress them with.

I think that these particular clips are perhaps the best I have seen regarding the movies.

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/27744/

They also hit a homer with this TOP GUN spoof...scroll down a few notches. These are
actually better, but this IS a star wars thread after all.

I must be the only Star Wars fan in the world who thinks that Darth Maul sucked. Yes, he looked badass, but I didn't see anything else that appealed to me. I'd take Count Dooku over Maul any day of the week. For Christ's sake, Dooku was the second best Dracula EVER. Not to mention his arch-nemesis was Governor Tarkin (Van Helsing).

Hammer film veterans FTW?

Si Senior.

I have the first three movies (by release order, so IV, V and VI) in their original CLV Dolby Digital Surround Laser Disc form - these are the _exact_ same as what we saw in the theaters the first time around. By the time the 5.1 AC-3 CAV box set version came out, Lucas had already started tweaking them.

Some of the additional footage he added was nice. Useless, but nice. Except for that Greedo shoots first part.

I agree with you almost 100%, but I assume the laserdisc has Episode IV: A New Hope in the crawl screen. It wasn't in the original release in 1977. But I'm arguing semantics here. I know what you're saying.

You just out geeked me, Andy. I'm going to have to check, let me get back to you on that.

IIRC, Star Wars was pressed to LD before Empire was released to the theaters, so I'm not sure there would be any changes, including the crawl screens. :sh

A little research earlier today and I just learned more about Star Wars releases than I ever wanted, or cared, to know....

So it appears that my LD has the episode title, since it's the widescreen version from the mid 80's and not the original pan & scan. Other than that, it's supposedly the same as the original theatrical release.

Seems like there were also about 20 something different release versions of Star Wars on LD (I had no idea, I thought it was like 5 or 6 total between NTSC and PAL), not counting the CAV remastered trilogy box set which, for LDs, marked the first installment of any additional footage.
