Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler which star wars dvd set should i get???

For the first time in my life... I'm thinking buying anything that doesn't support Lucas' insane recent additions to his accidental masterpieces would be the way to go.

"Uh, George... the bad CG you added to SW, ESB and RotJ is garish and silly... where can I buy the movies I remember as a child?"
'Those movies do not exist... I have had all copies rounded up and burned, and the ashes fed to my alpacas...'
"When exactly DID you go batsh*t loco?"
*drool* *twitch* 'Oh about the same time as I came up with THX certification' *bites the interviewer's arm*

Blackie, if you want the 4-disc widescreen set(silver box)and don't want to screw around on eBay, this may be the best deal. I've gotten my ballet DVDs there recently; reputable outfit.

Great site, it just got added to my favorites.

I actually payed less for the widescreen trilogy from Walmart online.

Maybe it was on sale, Randy, but the Walmart site shows it at about $58 with tax and shipping, compared to about $46 at Deep Discount.

Yes John, if I recall, it was back about the time the trilogy was first released and I reserved a copy about a month in advance.

This is funny. I remember thinking back when they were about to mess around with the originals that I had better get a copy of the unadulterated trilogy. I have a VHS set from way back when; still in its original packaging.

I don't like some of the cheesy CG they used in the re-release. The worst for me is the final scene in RotJ where they over-dubbed some new goofy music during the celebrations with the Ewoks.

Why do I suddenly feel like geek?

or I could always burn you a copy of my old Original Trilogy widescreen VHS, non-THX, non-"Special" Edition...it might not be the best video quality but on the plus side, there's no $hitty new band at Jabba's, Han shoots first, and Luke doesn't scream like a little girl when he takes a swan dive after losing his hand!

Geez, I didn't even realize about the screaming thing. Luke's really more of a whiner than a screamer, I suppose...

Well, I'm not the biggest fan of the movies, anyway... I mean, yeah, when I was a kid, and all those action figures and toys and stuff were out, that was pretty cool.

One of my buddies brought the first DVD set over when it first came out... just figured I'd reminisce - if I never saw any of those movies again, I wouldn't feel unfulfilled.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Black Hole again, though. Maybe a remake? I think I was about 7 when I first saw it on CED, and Maximillian scared the sh*t out of me.
