The man built his "empire" by riding the talented coat tails of the likes of Gary Kurtz and John Williams, he doesn't deserve to wield the control which he posses. Fuck George Lucas.

After reading that article, I'm incredibly happy that I never purchased the Star Wars movies on DVD or Blu-Ray. I'm through with Lucas the Hutt and his moronic ways.

You've convinced me that I need to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD before they degrade any more. And quickly.

Whereas I'm personally convinced that I need to buy myself a copy of the Star Wars Blu-ray set and forcibly insert it into Mr. Lucas' rectum, all the whilst shouting "why don't you CGI yourself up a fucking enima".

I'd rather just sic Dashing on him.

Your way's probably more lenient, come to think of it.

What we need is the world's foremost disguise artist. We put him into character as Lucas, kidnap the real thing, and insert him into Lucasfilm to do our bidding.

But has that already happened?

Rather Dashing · 10/01/2011, 03:36 pm

*I* think it's better this way!

Dead Ringers does Star Wars.

Drunk, Yoda is!

Things Yoda would say in bed.

Darth Vader Kills Jar Jar Binks

Yoda and Count Dooku battle... using the power of jazz!

What would happen if Obi-Wan had used his "force speed" at the end of The Phantom Menace.

XD! Everyone loves Jar Jar.XD

Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten about that. In that case, we need to find the real Lucas. Either that or just replace the imposter with our own.

"While both STAR WARS (1977) and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980) are on the National Film Registry, the Library has not yet acquired new prints of either one. When the request was made for STAR WARS, Lucasfilm offered us the Special Edition version. The offer was declined as this was obviously not the version that had been selected for the Registry. We have not yet requested a print of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, added to the Registry late last year.

> The Library of Congress does hold the original release versions of STAR WARS, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI, but these 35mm prints were acquired as copyright deposits in March 1978, October 1980, and June 1983 respectively. All three are classified as archival masters and as such cannot be accessed for viewing/research. The existing condition reports for STAR WARS and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (there is no report for RETURN OF THE JEDI) indicate that the former has minor scratches but is in good shape overall, while the latter has extreme color fading. We also have an additional 35mm print of the original STAR WARS (received June 1979) with English subtitles for the deaf.

So there it is. The National Film Registry can at least be commended for declining the offer to store the Special Edition, as it conflicts with their mandate. So, it seems, they never had a print ever. But, the news may be even worse: not only does the NFR not have an original Star Wars print, they don't have any version. Of course, do you really think they will be provided with a 1980 print of Empire Strikes Back? Of course not.

I don't understand what this bolded section refers to if the the NFR doesn't have any prints.

*GuruGuru214* · 10/01/2011, 10:31 pm

I believe it means that a different branch of the Library of Congress does have prints of those films, but that the prints aren't available for anyone, including the NFR, to make use of, and even if they were, they're in shoddy condition.

Precisely.

But those were my little experiments... not years and years of work shared with actors and crew members.

Lucas had no right to do this. When something wonderful is being made, one has to understand that he does not own it anymore. The World owns it.

...I really lost the last bits of respect I had for this man.

I'm not a fan of Star Wars, but I did see all the movies and I understand why people love them so much. This is unfair and I'm really sorry the fans have to go through this.

You can still find the 1977 version through less-than-legal ways, as a digital download, so not all is lost.

But still... I'm so sorry.

XD Lucas is really sticking it to us.

Yes. Yes it should. It's further evidence that Lucas is nothing more than a souless money grabbing gimp. Seriously, that shit's embarrassing.

That is what I said...

Why can't George Lucas stop raping my childhood?

Chyron8472 · 10/13/2011, 04:46 pm

I recently ripped my Star Wars GOUT discs and had Handbrake detelecine it and convert it to anamorphic widescreen.

So, now I have my classic Star Wars and to hell with the Special Editions.
