But what would you guys like to see included on any future DVDs?

Man you just came up with the best DVD set ever. Heck I'd be happy with the original films and maybe more deleted scenes and out takes.

Ditto.

to you forcoming up with that. Now mail it to Lucas everyday until we get it.

**Turbowars** · 02-23-2005

LOL yeah like when Andy sent a letter a day for the Library books in Shawshank Redemption.

**General_Grievous** · 02-24-2005

Thanks for the comments, guys.

I wish I was responsibe for deciding what features would go into the DVDs. Then, I'd truly make Lucasfilm another $20 million (Like they need it

)

But I forgot to add the icing to the cake, and this could be on all three OT DVDs.

Vintage Toy Commercials

I'd flip if these were ever included on the DVDs.

**2-1B** · 02-24-2005

I'm all in favor of CGI-ing the TPM Yoda puppet.

**Imperial Monarche** · 02-27-2005

If and when they do release another DVD set, it definitely needs to be a saga set and pretty much just like the way it was described above with the first disc being the original, theatrical versions and the second disc being the revamped versions.

I like your list. The only things I would add/change would be to make them all High Definition. Also I'd like to see him put his magic touch on the Prequels to make them into better stories. Granted, this is a big project, but as evidenced by the IMAX cut of AOTC, sometimes all it takes is a little trimming to make improvements. For TPM, significant amounts of additional filming would have to take place after a skilled writer was employed to take a shot at it, but the effort would be worth it. Even if some changes had to be made to the OT to make it all work, I'd rather see a 6 part saga that actually flowed and worked together than what we have now.

Wow, you actually still consider Lucas to be a good filmmaker.

I prety much agreed with most of what you said. The only problem is I don't think that Lucas should have to pretty much remake TPM by hiring a more talented writer but more have someone come in and rewrite some of the scenes for better dialogue and to have them flow better.

Well, I forgot the

as I was being facetious with that comment.

His "magic touch" is in the grand design. He absolutely sucks at the details that tie it all together. But now that the groundwork has all but been laid, he should consider the Prequels as the first drafts that they are and allow qualified filmmaking personnel to come in and polish the turd up into something watchable and enjoyable. He's got the cash to make it happen. Now all he needs are the nads to admit that he f'd it all up. Pshaw, yeah, that'll happen.
