Hey, I just noticed Dane isn't a Douche anymore. Well, at least in name anyway.

As far as the voice of Boba Fett, why doesn't it make sense for him to have the same voice as Jango (as well as every other clone)? Well, to each his own. Not only did he change the entire film business and the way movies were made, his ideas were 30 years ahead of technology, even though he's the guy that created the Avid workstation (then known as Droid), the pre-cursor to Pro Tools, founded Pixar Studios and of course, ILM. |

As it stands, ID is $47 million shy of Star Trek's domestic earnings. While it'll likely earn that $15 million, putting it on par with the prior film's earnings, plus the additional $40 million it cost to make, it's certainly not what Paramount had in mind when green-lighting this film and waiting four years for its release. It's not really a "winner", especially considering the domestic gross, which it isn't like to match. Last edited by DaneMcCloud; 06-17-2013 at 05:11 PM.. |

He should at least release the original trilogy in it's true original form. But he's got too much of an ego for that.

I'm sorry, but I have to call bullshit on that. Star Wars will be around for as along as Disney owns the property. It would be egregiously silly to just ignore the flaws in the original movies, especially given the fact that the technology didn't exist for corrections to be made. |

If there was a significant amount of income to be generated by issuing the original trilogy in their original form, it would be on shelves in a heartbeat. The fact is that the demand isn't there, nor is it likely to ever exist. |

I'm sure we'll disagree. But if Lucas was so successful with the Star Wars franchise, he'd never have sold it. The guy thinks special effects make movies. They don't.

The original Star Trek series has undergone a similar restoration and complete overhaul of the special effects, as has The Next Generation. Many movies have received the "Director's Cut" treatment in which special effects have been replaced and enhanced. The original Star Wars trilogy is hardly alone in this regard. Quote:
George Lucas sold LUCASFILMS to Disney, not just the Star Wars properties. That includes Indiana Jones as well. But the reason he decided to sell was that he wanted Star Wars to have a long-lasting and productive future. He wanted the Star Wars universe to rival and surpass that of Marvel. At his age (and health issues), he decided to "hand off" his life's work to a company that would preserve and extend his legacy. |
