My nerd pride may take a hit not having known this. I saw this one, but according to the comments it doesn't have the uncut ones. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical-Edition/dp/B001EN71DG | ||

If you want the trilogy set that contains both the SE and the unaltered versions but no bonus features, make sure when purchasing from Amazon, that the picture is a picture of Darth Vader and Luke clashing with light sabers and the box has a lot of blue coloring. It also says IV V VI along the bottom. You want the 2008 release. Just torrent it? | ||

I get why most of the bad stuff is in there--CGI was new and exciting; the prequels meant they were trying to get less mystery in ESB; who wouldn't want to write a goofy cantina song for a Star Wars movie? But then there is the bad, plotbreaking stuff. Han shooting second. Luke's scream on Cloud City (added and removed several times). Vader's "Nooo" in the Blu Ray. But in all seriousness, is there a way to legally purchase the OT unaltered? | ||

 But I very much dislike Vader Nooo and a Wild Hayden appearing in the much newer releases. That Vader, Palpatine, Skywalker scene worked so well before, it really didn't need tinkering. | ||

On the subject of the special editions, else seen the Adywan movie (someday maybe movies), A New Hope Revisited? He put in some serious work in that movie, cleaning up edits, making a few additional scenes (Death Star starting out over another planet surrounded by Star Destroyers, speeding up the Vader vs. Obi-Wan duel with the Episode III dueling music on top of it), and he's going even more ambitious for Episode V (down to rebuilding sets so he can reshoot certain parts), as well as the other four movies sometime in the future. | ||

If it still looks jerky, jerky it will be. No disagreement. My point was that all the shots done with models in the OT look great, and most of the 90s CGI isn't at their level. Modern CGI is as good or better than models, but it took a while for it to catch up. | ||

Modern CGI is as good or better than models, but it took a while for it to catch up. The early 2000s CGI was done really well though. I feel like the only discrepancies came from when the actors couldn't quite interact with it because they didn't know what was being generated in front of them. | ||

Check out this link: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Complete-Episodes-Blu-ray/dp/B003ZSJ212 Scroll down a bit and you'll see all the SW releases. 4th of November 2008 is the one you want (OT, not PT). | ||

But holy hell, there are so many continuity errors in this thing. Why is grey leader the same actor as Red 2? Why did they use a female actress for red 3 (right before she got shot down) but then voice over her with a guy's voice? And then use green leader's actor to respond? It implies that he was flying the y-wing that took down the two tie interceptors The little things =( | ||
