Page 1 of What is George Lucas doing ???????

First of all he rehashes the original Star Wars films to give us the Special Editions. But now there is a rumour that he is going back to A New Hope and is going to digitally insert new footage of Jimmy Smits, who plays Bail Organa in the new Epsiode 2 movie, witnessing the destruction of Alderan for the Ultimate Edition. If it aint broke, DONT BLOODY FIX IT! What next, specially inserted digital footage of Han Solo and Luke getting into the Storm Trooper outifts? Or how about footage of Chewbacca combing his hair on board the Millenium falcon? Perhaps a scene of Darth Vader polishing his helmet? Any more pointlesss scenes we could have added while he is at it?

Of course on the plus side it could mean that they are preparing work for the original trilogy DVDs.

Sounds OK to me.....remember in the Han Solo/Jabba scene in the SE Star Wars 1, the added first appearance of Boba Fett? Sounds like it would be a similar treatment for this one.

As long as they don`t introduced Jar Jar and the Gungans into any of the earlier films!!!!

As you say, this could be heading for a DVD release.....though I read somewhere that the original Trilogy will not be released on DVD until the completion of Episode 3.....circa 2005/6.

Anyway, Roll on May 16th!

what about a scene where Guido shoots himself and Han Solo`s busy spanking his woocky

lol. I think it is Greedo isnt it? Guido could be a mexican waiter perhaps.

can u tell that i`m a trekkie fan and not into kiddies films
( STAR TREK X )soon

To answer the question, Lucas is moving in slow motion, dragging his butt working on milking his fans with minimal effort and maximum profit.

Canot director to save his life, should really hand it over to more exciting film makers

Yep sounds like another special, never seen before extra footage version, that if you look really hard you will see the 30 seconds of new stuff, release.

Or am I being too critical.

Maybe fleecing the fans of Star Wars films is the last thing on his mind, and he is doing it purely for the entertainment value and giving something back.

Maybe he could have devoted his time to creating a special effect where Jarre Jarre Binks accidently cuts his own head off with a light sabre, now I`d buy that one.

so why call yerself STORMTROOPER then?

If we needed more evidence towards George Lucas`s egotistical obsession (and burgeoning madness) then this would be it. But we don`t.

A french dvd magazine released a preview dvd which had trailers for the original trilogy on dvd and it said they would be out at the end of this year!! Interesting no?
