How come everyone hates Episode I? I liked it a lot...Far better than episode II which sucked balls....god i was dissapointed when I saw it. Episode III could have been made a lil better i think.

I have a Star Wars game on the PS3 that is kinda like a Final Fantasy VII/VIII clone based on the Star Wars animated series. After playing The force unleashed on PS3 first which is kinda nice, no top quality but nice gameplay/graphics it was a horrible experience to someone who has all six episodes on Special Edition DVD. 
I have all Star Trek: TNG/DS9/Voyager seasons on DVD as well, I feel kinda nerdish now LOL. :D however the Alien Quadrilogy + Predator SE DVDs + both AvP movies in a limited steelcase box next to The Godfather: the Coppola restoration 4BD box should make up for it.
I love hunting down SE/limited edition versions or box sets...
IMHO: episodes 3-6 are the best, I personally like the fifth one because of the hunted-down/hide-and-seek atmosphere if you get me.

I love Star Wars haha. I just got all the movies in HD so a friend and I are having a marathon soon.

Well like most old movies, they were filmed onto actual film which means it's easy to make it 1080p without quality loss. Of course, the cameras weren't as good as they are today so the quality isn't perfect, but it's great.

Haha I wish.
been a fan since i was digging through VHS tapes at my grandparents house when i was like 5 and decided to watch it purely based on the artwork on the cover.
i will say one thing about the 3 prequels, the lightsaber battles are WAY cooler than in the 3 original movies.
seriously, i watched the vader vs obi wan fight the other day, and it was kinda unimpressive in comparison.
still cool though.
also, you can't go wrong with force-choking the shit out of natalie portman.

I agree, but to be fair, they are both old men. It's not like they'll be doing flips and shit, they'd put their hips out lol.
i disagree.
at first i was all hyped about the LS fights in TPM, but then they became too flashy for the "jedi way" as teased upon in the OT. i preferred them as samurai (minimal, but deadly efficient) rather than operatic kung fu (more show than go).
but then the jedi were far too prone to violence in the prequels. seems they pulled those things out all the time. by the end of the third, i was well and truly sick of those light sticks.

two things i hate in the OT SE: the new lapti neki and greedo shooting first. if these go back to the original, i'll consider buying the set for the nth time.

^Lapti Nek was the shizznit. The Ewok Celebration Song was even more awesome - I can't stand the dull as dishwater woodwind piece that replaced it. That song also paved over that one Ewok's awesome percussion solo.

Request to Restore the Theatrical Cuts of the Original Star Wars Trilogy for Blu-ray
Mr. Lucas,
Star Wars is a cultural icon that permanently changed the landscape of cinema, both in the US and abroad. It has earned its place not only in film history, but in the home video library of any film fan.
There has been much debate regarding the digital enhancements made to the original Star Wars films, beginning in 1997 with the release of the Special Edition. The debate was reignited in 2004 with the release of the DVD box set and culminated with the release of the 2006 limited edition DVDs, which contained substandard transfers from 1993 as bonus material. The purpose of this petition is not to debate copyright holders' rights; legally, you have every right to make alterations to your films. We do believe, however, that as the steward of one of the most recognizable and beloved film series of all time, you have a responsibility to restore and preserve Star Wars in its original form, unaltered, and make it accessible to fans in a quality equal to that of the Special Edition.
Speculation runs rampant as to the availability of suitable elements for a proper restoration of the theatrical cuts of the original trilogy. It has been suggested by your organization that the original negatives were permanently altered in order to create the Special Edition, making a complete restoration of the theatrical cuts impossible. The deliberate destruction of the original elements demonstrates such disrespect for film history that many of us find it hard to believe, given your firm stance in the past on film preservation. We hold out hope that claims of the negative's demise have been exaggerated.
Assuming adequate source materials do exist, our goal is to convince you that providing home video releases of the original theatrical cuts and the Special Editions in the best quality possible need not be an either/or proposition. Both versions can coexist without one detracting from the other. Ridley Scott supervised a definitive release of Blade Runner on Blu-ray with 4 distinct cuts that chronicle the evolution of the film over 3 decades, and all versions are presented in high quality. Close Encounters of the Third Kind has 3 cuts on the Blu-ray release—all with the blessing of Steven Spielberg and all presented in the best quality possible.
Outstanding Blu-ray releases like those for Blade Runner and Close Encounters of the Third Kind prove there can be a balance among creators' rights, film preservation, and fan service. The original Star Wars trilogy deserves the same treatment.
To clarify our request:
1) We ask that the theatrical cuts of the original Star Wars trilogy be restored from the best elements available using modern methods and technology.
2) When you decide to release the Star Wars saga on Blu-ray or any future format, we ask that the theatrical cuts of the original trilogy, with high definition transfers struck from the newly restored elements, be included alongside your most recent version.
We thank you for giving us Star Wars, and for your attention in this matter.
Regards,
The Undersigned

QFT. I remember watching the re-released version in the theaters and thinking, "You gotta be shittin' me" when I heard the new music. The original was bubbly and fun; the new one was overblown garbage. Yeah, we get it Lucas, you think Vader is a tragic hero. Now, let's get on with the "I'm glad we blew that &$&#!!* up!" music.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/18352/-star-wars-gets-3d-re-releases
so, there'll be a bluray release, then a 3d release for each film in theatre (and then probably on 3d bluray also) one at a time, then a complete 3dbluray edition.
just when you thought lucas couldn't milk this cow any more...
