Is Star Wars Going to be Re-Re-Released?

Leave Star Wars alone last thing Lucas needs is a bunch of crazed SW fans rioting because they fd up a classic

i saw the original 3 films rerealese when they come out last at the cinema so iam done now seen all at cinema and iam happy without paying again to see the same films even in 3d. I still wanst the non lame edited updates in HD.

I agree with you inferiorego. If they want to release them again, then they should release the original trilogy without any tampering. And no 3D.

No! I want them to make movies on the Old Republic and the times after Return of the Jedi. LOL "

It's really no big deal. Honestly, the differences are so small that I could care less and I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I never even noticed that Han didn't shoot first when I saw the re-releases. I just wish that Lucas would stop flogging the horse. There's no horse left. Time to move on and work on other stuff and leave the Star Wars universe in the hands of someone who can write an actual story.

As long as Lucas doesn't go with the 3D craze (which he probably will), it's all good to me. I would like to see the original ones tho.

How about instead of doing all these updates to the film, they re-release the ORIGINAL trilogy as it was back in 1977? No updated special effects, Luke screaming as he falls after getting his hand cut off, no Greedo shooting first, and no Hayden Christianson in the clouds at the end of Jedi.  

As long as these new versions have Han shooting first and don't change up the SFX too much, I'm all okay with it. I like the classic SFX. They fit with the movie more, I think, so when I saw crazy CGI Jabba in the hanger talking to Han I was like "whoa, this is weird". And, well, I don't need to expand upon Han shooting first.

I remember seeing the "Special Edition" in theaters back in 1997.  I had already had the series in its remastered THX VHS form for some years then, and as a kid, it was just a real kick to finally see the movies on the big screen (let alone with enhanced effects). 
 
I think if they released the original series in its original form back in theaters, that would be really neat.

Thank's George but I'm good for re-releases.

But come on...sure no one WANTS tampering, but everyone knows Lucas will toy with, take out and add, alter and CGI, and shamelessly exploit the crap out of everything again. Before you know it, Padme's in the Original Trilogy, Yoda has a lightsaber on Dagobah, Jar Jar's in Jabba's Palace, Taun Taun's are CGI,  and SW is more ruined than before, which is something that doesn't feel possible...and yet Lucas always manages to succeed in doing. 
 
There's just no way we'll get a new re-release without any changes. No way! He's yet to re-release SW post-prequels without some sort of change...Lucas is too classless these days to let a classic age.

I could go for some original release Star Wars in theatres. Or even just on Blu-Ray...

Yeah! Do that! "

why?

...or how about instead of tampering with the originals again, we stop toying with them and make entirely new good "should have been" prequels that actually sync with the original trilogy?

I dunno, I mean it's Lucas's story, he can do what he wants with it. And I suspect he will as long as it keeps making money. 
 
Also, It was a little weird to see Hayden Christiansen at the end of Return of the Jedi. I remember thinking, "Wow! The guy they got to play Anakin in the original trilogy looks a lot like Hayden Christiansen! Wait a minute..."

there's no point in doing it really

Lucas just needs to let it go...how long does he expect to ride the waves of a 30 year old movie

I will pick the Trilogy up again when it makes its way to Blu-ray and so far I haven't re-bought any of my DVDs on Blu-ray yet. Though I do own both Blu-ray version of Casino Royale now that I think about it. The DVD set of the trilogy came with such an awesome documentary and other extras that I would be excited to see what they can create for the Blu-ray set.
 
I personally don't mind the Special Edition versions of the Original Trilogy, it is kind of a cool to re-watch them and spot the differences. They change little things in each re-release, like I believe they modified the whole Greedo scene on the DVD version so they both shoot at the same time. But I do think the Blu-ray set should use some of that space to store a high-quality transfer of the original versions. 
 
As for a 3D version, its just a wait and see thing for me. If its a bad 3D conversion like The Last Airbender then it will suck but if they really put some effort into it like they are prone to do with this Trilogy then it could be cool at least for its novelty value.

" Lucas just needs to let it go...how long does he expect to ride the waves of a 30 year old movie "

I think that instead of whipping the dead horse tied to the re-invented wheel, Lucas should move forward within the Star Wars universe and tell new stories with the new technology...as long as someone else does the telling.

As long as they make Han Solo shoot first at the bar scene with Greedo, then I'm A-OK with the re-re-release.

"I would eventually like to see the final three films (7,8,9) but I do NOT want Lucas writing the scripts. "

" Lucas needs an restraining order from Star Wars. "

I've never understood this argument. Yes it is...does that mean that if he made Jar Jar Boba Fett we're have to like it? ...it may be "his" story, but in more than a few respects truly it's our story. We should always have a say! We're the audience. Why wouldn't or shouldn't our opinion matter? So we responded according. Many, arguably even a majority, dislike the prequels because we felt they were superficial commercials without heart, which he's clearly bitter about the backlash. But if he placed fan opinion higher and didn't just care about us for what's in our wallet, we'd have been given over-all more critically successful films and he would be as beloved as he once was. Alas, was not to be. "

he doesn't know how to write relationships between characters, and not just love related, he sucks at friendship related relationships "

I still remember the old end theme music for Return of the Jedi. :)

I think Lucas should learn from the mistakes that he made and do more films. I'm dying to see the Jedi wars and Luke rebuild the Jedi temple. 

They updated Return of the Jedi to have Hayden Christiansen in the clouds with Yoda and Obi-Wan at the end instead of the original actor under the Vader helmet that they showed when they took it off?

What they really should do is have Genndy Tartakovsky remake the entire series as animated movies and give him complete creative control. 
Just like the original Clone Wars 2D miniseries. 
I guarantee it'd be about 10x better.
