The Star Wars Blu-ray release is now as official as it can be, as none other than George Lucas announced the films were coming to the format. "I wish I could say it's coming out this year, but it's coming out next year," Lucas said to the packed audience at the "Main Event" at Star Wars Celebration V today, which was moderated by Jon Stewart.
Speaking about what will be included, Lucas said, "They'll be different kinds of additional material," adding, "I think you've seen enough behind the scenes [material] for a lifetime. There's some really good material that will be included in there, [including] more deleted scenes that you haven't seen yet." Lucas said these newly released scenes would be kept separate from the film itself.
In a surprise appearance, Mark Hamill then joined Lucas and Stewart on stage, to introduce one of the new deleted scenes, which he said was his "original entrance" in Return of the Jedi. Hamill noted the scene was short, but that it was for the UPFs in the audience – the "ultra passionate fans."
We were then shown the scene, which would have taken place after Darth Vader arrives on the second Death Star at the beginning of Return of the Jedi. We see Vader walking down a corridor and into an elevator on the Death Star. We then cut to Vader inside his medication chamber, a la Empire Strikes Back. As Vader sits there, the camera moves into a close-up and we hear him reaching out with the Force. "Luke. Luke. Join me in the dark side of the Force. My son. It is the only way."

I liked the prequels.
waits for :hitsfan:
I didn't mind all the extra stuff Lucas put in the DVDs, except for that crappy Greedo scene change. Han shot first!
Just change that back and I'll be a happy girl.
the prequels were good, as long as you don't compare them to the originals.
my biggest gripe is that at the end of Return of the Jedi, they replaced the Anakins ghost played by Sebastian Shaw, with the douche who played him in the prequels. :2mad:

That's precisely why I won't be getting it. Many of the changes I like or could at least turn a blind eye to, but replacing the end scene with Christensen over Shaw left me with an absolutely awful taste in my mouth. I know sci-fi movies don't walk the narrow line of reality, but having your "father" be your age or younger? The hell.

and it doesn't make sense, neither Kenobi nor Yoda appear as their younger selves, they appear as when they died, and so should Skywalker.
My order goes 4, 6, 5,
This is one of the proposed changes
Is it a good thing, or a bad thing, that I had to read that twice and think about it?

You're all gonna feel like right tossers when you do get it :2razz:
Well at last, something we agree on. :mrgreen:
Yeah that was just totally stupid. Han is a streetwise smuggler, he isn't IDIOT enough to let a hired killer, who has told him he's going to kill him, shoot 1st out of some stupid cowboy honor thing, or whatever.
{not to mention Greedo couldn't possibly be incompetent enough to miss by 1/2 a yard at a range of maybe 2 1/2 feet!}

He couldn't give himself a "stranger" anyway. Anakin lost his stroke hand to Dooku.
He doesn't need to use his hand, he has the force.
