And yet this surprised you, because there were so many ways you had legitimately wanted to see the movies updated.įear not, my geeky bretheren. You found yourself disliking a lot of the changes, yearning for the old, unblemished versions. You saw the jawas falling off the ronto on the way into Mos Eisley and thought to yourself “now that must be the stupidest attempts at humor that could ever be forced into a Star Wars movie.” Remember, at this point you had never heard of an alien called Jar Jar Binks. You cringed to discover that many of the infamous Star Wars mistakes and bloopers had been uncorrected, and yet for reasons that defy all sense of Han Solo’s character, millions of dollars were spent making it look like Greedo shot first. You couldn’t believe how badly a lot of the new CGI footage stuck out against the 20-year old background. So you remember when the special editions came out back in 97, and they were supposed to be “the movies the way George Lucas always intended,” only once you saw them you refused to believe that was how he intended them because you liked it better when you thought of George Lucas as a briliant artist painting on a canvas the size of the galaxy. Still reading, now that there are people with separate online personas involved? Okay, but just remember, no one forced you to do this.Īnyway, if you’re still reading at this point, I’m going to assume you’re a total Star Wars geek like me.
This is a fan edit of the original Star Wars movie, done by a man named Adrian Sayce, who goes by the name of Adywan online. No, this isn’t just some new re-release from Lucasfilm with more random footag of Hayden Christensen spliced in. Over the weekend I discovered a new version of “Star Wars.” It is terrific. Note that I said for “geeks” only, not nerds only, which in my book means people obsessed with sci-fi and pop technology rather than people who like science and math. The following post will affect your opinion of me, unless you truly share my geekery.
