Rant about something

So, it's kind of official now, unofficially. The first Star Wars trilogy will be out on DVD September 21st. So like YAY! I saw a little blurb about it on Slashdot. I've heard rumblings about it for a few weeks now. Ok, it's actually official. Check StarWars.com for the official word not on the street.

Anyway, it will appear to be the Special Editions. Though reading closely at the official release statement, it actually doesn't say anything about the movies being the Special Editions. I guess that first posting had information regarding that. I can't verify it because it was slashdotted, or simply loaded down with too many slashdot readers.

Ok, back to the DVDs. I was reading in the comment section underneath the star wars story on slashdot and discover that lots of people still hate the fact that Han shoots second in the special edition of A New Hope. And if one were to go by the comments, they will not be buying the DVDs. I, for one, didn't like that whole scene. It looked totally cheesy and did not belong in the movie. It was way out of place. I mean, come on! It was a god damn still frame with a damn laser shot drawn over the top. It was ridiculous. All the other updates were computer generated, why couldn't they do some computer magic there? If they were gonna have Greedo shoot first, they could have made it look better than what it did.

And now back to the people complaining and saying they are not going to buy the DVDs: That's a load of crap too. First of all, they will buy it and still be hypocritial later, hiding their copies. Second, someone was saying the ballot box is our checkbooks or something like that refering to that people won't buy what they don't like and effect the bottom line. Welp, I hate to tell ya, but there are far too many people who don't care about one scene to not buy Star Wars on DVD. Period. And besides, George has said he'd make the movie the way he wants them to be made, painfully evident in episodes I and II.

So, this was just some rant about Star Wars DVDs. So, stay tuned for my next rant about something.
