Re: The Star Wars Thread *NO SPOILERS ALLOWED!*
How fans of this stuff don't revolt is beyond me. People cream their jeans every time Lucas does a re-release with a trillionth of a nanosecond clip of Yoda added.
When Lucas dies, it'll be from laughing while splicing one of these clips into a film.
Pretty much. At this point every DVD will get a rerelease with either a special directors cut (or longer version) or a special remastered version or a bluray upgrade. It makes very little scene to buy a dvd that is new release because at some point it will get rereleased with some extra stuff further down the line.
Fuck the shitty prequels. I'm not paying double the price just to get the first three movies in HD. I'm not buying it until they release the original trilogy by itself.
Yup. Or they could just release the movies separately and let the consumer decide what to buy. Coppola did this with the Godfather movies. The trilogy costs $48. But each film was rereleased early this year on BD. The first two were on sale for $11.99 each. So you could have just saved a bunch of money by just buying the first two and skipping the third one.
It also pays to wait as all blurays at some point will go on sale. No need to toss away cash and pay full MSRP.

Re: The Star Wars Thread *NO SPOILERS ALLOWED!*
Disagree there. Steven has a way of making things look wonderful IMO. It's sort of a sence of hyper-realism.
Even his sories that are plot light - such as lost world - say "The lost world" look amazing visually - and I don't mean just the effects - it's the choice of shots and stuff. Watch the trailer scene in the lost world and you see what I mean.
Then there's films like Raiders of the Lost ark.....he just captures magic.

Saving Private Ryan is a great film.
Excluding that, the Back To The Future Trilogy trumps every single film on that list. Steven also was a producer on both Band of Brothers & The Pacific on HBO, which despite being TV series, are also better than almost all the films on that list.

George Lucas reportedly creating Star Wars sequel trilogy (that's not about the Skywalkers)
Big honking Saturday morning rumor here! According to IESB.net, George Lucas will be creating a new trilogy once the first six Star Wars movies go 3D. This echoes what Lucas did in the 1990s after the original trilogy was rereleased.
When you check the link, IESB.net may be down from a traffic surge, but here are the pertinent details:
George Lucas is plotting to create new Star Wars movies at the ultra top-secret Skywalker Ranch. This is deja vu of the mid '90s when Uncle George start[ed] tweaking the Holy Trilogy to gear up for the Special Editions. [...] These new film will have nothing to do with the live action television series currently in development. That show already has over 50 scripts ready to go and plenty of pre-production time and money has been spent on artwork and storyboards. Once that show goes into production, Lucasfilm hopes to be able to produce at least 100 episodes since that is the threshold for syndication in the United States [...Fans] can expect the new trilogy after the entire saga is released in 3D which is expected to be complete around 2015 or 2016.
Also, the trilogy is reported to kick off approximately 24 months after the 3Ding of Return of the Jedi, and the next three episodes (which could be either Episodes 7-9 or 10-12) could possibly "occur as far as 100 years or 1,000 years in the Star Wars universe future." Furthermore, the IESB source claims that the movie will not focus on the Skywalker clan.
IESB's broken a couple pretty big scoops (including Joss Whedon being tapped to direct The Avengers and the PG-13 rating of Revenge of the Sith), but it's a rumor that should nonetheless be taken with a grain of salt.
UPDATE: Underwire reports that Lucasfilm has denied the possibility of a new trilogy, but that's expected either way.
