Fans hold Lucas’s feet over the fire long enough, fussy filmmaker now cries Uncle and will FINALLY release the ORIGINAL theatrical versions of the first 3 Star Wars film! No stupid PCing, no “extra” special effects that sacrifice dialog. Limited time release in Sept, only 3-4 months, like Bambi, start saving your Imperial Credits today![:D]

Well, it’s about time. I thought the doctored version from a couple of years ago (DVD) had too many distracting elements courtesy of CGI.

The 1997 Reworking of Star Wars was better than the original version.

The original version of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was good, but a bit weak for repeat viewing.

Since you brought up the topic, I’ll take the opportunity to plug a Star Wars fan film that my son had a big hand in putting together- go to www.atomfilms.com and find the film Return Of Pink Five and watch it! It’s an extremely funny parallel to EP6 in which Chris (my son) coordinated all the special effects for and played two parts in as well- Darth Vader and the center hangar controller on the Death Star.

BTW, Chris also currently resides in LA, not too far from the UCLA campus.

Robot Chicken on Comedy Central did a funny spoof of the climax of Ep5 (I am your father…) even got Mark Hamil to do the voiceover!
