I'm not voting, because star-wars sucked. Seriously guys. Maybe the originals were, somewhat watchable, second rate. The new ones were quite unworthy of any purchasing.

Star Trek is where it's at -blam!-es. TNG, and maybe a lil DS9... but yeah, like any good idea, someone had to take a big -blam!- on it.

The original films, as they were first shown in theaters, are not going to be on DVD anytime soon, if ever.

The ones that are coming out are the crappy special-edition originals, with the extra CG effects and such. Which I deem "crap."

Note to George Lucas: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I only by a movie on DVD if it was made while DVD was around if it was before DVD I would but on Video for authentisity.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

[color=yellow] Star Trek is the best sci-fi show ever. [/color]

Case closed.

Well, now that I know the Special Editions that are the ones being released on DVD, I'm not so sure. I mean, they were all right, but the whole Jabba-Han scene in A New Hope was awful. George Lucas shouldn't have added that, especially when CG wasn't far along enough to make Jabba look even close to convincing back then. And the worst thing, Greedo shooting at Han first? That scene looked so terrible in the Special Edition, I question the sanity of whoever did it.

Which is why they redid the Jabba/Han scene, among other things. As much as I loved the originals, I'm going to have to say that I agree with the changes.
I can't wait to see the redone Vader/Obi fight. Hopefully they fixed up the black matteline-plagued rancor scene as well, but that would certainly be an enormous feat.
