Star Wars (Special Edition)
IMDb: Star Wars (1977)
Or completely jacked up edition.
I don’t need your comedic fighting robots or your goddamn digital jawas. I don’t want Jabba the Hut and I don’t want your stupid ringed explosions.
What was cool about the changes to this movie was the new effects they did on the spaceships. But when all said and done, what is the point really? Couldn’t we have saved all the new effects for the crappy prequels? In 1977, the old spaceships were amazing. So what’s wrong with them? If they change things like that now, where do you draw the line? Why don’t they just composite Owen Wilson in as Luke and Jessica Alba in as Leia? Hmmmm. Wait a minute, I might be on to something there…
Frame-fucking classic movies and re-doing all the effects is a morbid curiosity of omnipotent filmmakers these days. George Lucas was so caught up with whether on not he could, he never stopped and asked if he should.
