Okay. According to Badass Digest, this is confirmed... yes, Vader says "No!" as he picks the Emperor up. This is yet another change in the Original Trilogy, and yeah, I'm pissed off about it.

It was already such a perfect moment. As Luke, dying under the Emperor's torrent of force lightning, calls out to his father to help him, Vader stares quietly, looks at his son, then at the Emperor, and makes his decision. And he DOESN"T ****ING SAY A THING. That's what makes it so powerful. You could almost see the thought process behind the mask, as Vader slowly comes out of the fog of 20+ years of evil. It's a grand, amazing moment and the pinnacle of the trilogy, in my opinion.

And George Lucas just ruined it.

Goodnight, STAR WARS. Thanks for the memories. (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/51019)

Update to include another twisting of the knife - Obi-Wan's Krayt Dragon call now sounds like he's getting a hummer in a back alley on Mos Eisley

Oh, Greedo still shoots first.

Just another example of how incredibly bad George Lucas is as a writer.

Character disagrees with an event. How can I convey to the audience that the character is not on-board with this? OK. I got it.

Darth Vader:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I swear to ****-Christ, there was a line in Episode III that was an even better/worse example of this:

Anakin Skywalker:
From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!

i still contend that George Lucas should have been frozen in carbonite sometime in the mid-90s

maybe that should be amended to mid-80s

The entire Star Wars series is weak. The strongest point about it (the original) was the special effects; which were great for the time, but haven't aged especially well.

Had they left the first movie alone, it could have stood as a moderately interesting 'Space Western'. Creating of it a franchise was like making Mel Gibson's 'The Patriot' into a 10 movie series....and about as compelling. There's no 'there' there.

I suppose they could do much worse.

New Hope changes:

1- Prince Leia's name is now "Princess Leia Skywalker," and she is addressed as such (and the dubbing is awful) by all characters, erasing any doubts as to who is brother and sister.

2- Darth Vader has lines that are different versions of Anakin lines to make a stronger and more pathetic connection to the prequel trilogy. Examples:

When asked to release his choke hold, instead of saying "As you wish," he says "Yippee!"

As he spins in his fighter at the end, he says "Let's try spinning, that's a neat trick. Woooooooah!"

3- As Aldeeran is about to explode, Jar Jar looks up into the sky from the doomed planet and says "Mesa hasa BAAAAAD feeling about this-un!"

4- The emperor makes a cameo, since it is the only movie he doesn't appear in. Right before Grand Moff says that the emperor ended the Senate, the emperor is shown ending the Senate... no, not by throwing Senator pods at Yoda. He is simply locking the door and switching the "Yes, we're Open!" sign to "Sorry, we're Closed!"

5- Chewbacca is now a CGI character. His fluffy costume is computer generated down the last strand of hair. And his eyes have really fake expressions added in.

6- C-3PO says at least 30 times "I cannot remember, perhaps my memory has been erased" to remind everyone why he cannot remember anything from the prequel trilogy.

7- Obi Wan's lines are a lot more *wink wink* and groan inducing. Example:

Obi Wan: A young sith lord named Darth Vader, who used to be a jedi by the name of Anakin Skywalker, who was a pupil of mine...

8- Boba Fett walks around without his helmet on. Oh look, it's that guy from the prequel trilogy. Derp.

9- At the beginning of the film, Obi Wan is in deep conversation with the ghost of Qui Gonn. But it isn't Liam Neeson, because he realized after one flick what a bad idea this re-do was. You never see his face, and coincidentally enough, "Qui Gonn" only seems to be repeating lines that you already heard in Episode One. Hmmm...

10- When the Death Star explodes, the explosion now last 15 seconds of drawn out noise and special effects. In 3-D. Ow, I think a piece just hit my 3-D glasses...

My daugther recently had dinner with a friend who creates music for soundtracks, etc. He told her that from now on, the big studios are no longer going to make anything but remakes and movies from novels that were popular. They have no clue how to pick a script that will draw people to the theatres so they are only going to go with 'sure things'. I foresee more indie movies in my future.

Empire Strikes Back changes:

1- The title is now "Strike of the Empire" to fit the prequel trilogy titles for the final two offerings.

2- Princess Leia no longer kisses Luke. Chewie instead. Take that, "incest alert!" shouters.

3- Yoda is in his CGI form, flipping circles around the swampie ship with his green light saber instead of lifting it.

Luke: "I can't believe it."

Yoda: "Lulz. Neither can I."

4- Lando is no longer the only minority character in the movie, as interestingly enough, many background characters that were not in the original are suddenly everywhere to represent the diversity of the galaxy... and they're all CGI-inserted. In 3-D.

(true story: there was a lando fan group marching around shouting their support for lando at the convention I attended. it was a true WTF moment)

5- Han Solo no longer says "I know" but instead, speaks first, telling Leia "I love you!" and she says Han's original line, "I love you too!" Internet protests spark up, exclaiming "LEIA SPOKE FIRST!"

6- When the emperor appears, he is wielding an OFFICIAL LUCASFILM LICENSED red lightsaber that can be yours for only $129.99 at starwars.com/officialstorething.

7- Lando is no longer wearing Han's clothes at the end... well, there goes the Family Guy and Robert Chicken jokes. Nyah, nyah.

8- Vader no longer says "I am your father." Because he isn't. All those *wink wink* lines in the first were red herrings. Don't you feel fooled.

Luke: He told me you're my father.

Vader: No, I killed your father.

(music!)

Luke: No, that's not true!

Vader: Search your feelings, you KNOW it to be true!

Luke: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

gag.

9- Han Solo is no longer frozen in Carbonite, but some other weird thing that sticks out more in CGI and 3-D. Oh wow... he looks like an Avatar character after that. Dang.

10- Force chokes now have a weird force-like noise that accompanies them... that will also be available on officially licensed LUCASFILM Darth Vader force choke gloves! Yours for only $49.99!

GO TO HELL!

Roddenberry sucked worse than Lucas. All fans agree Wrath of Kahn was the best. Why? After the first one sucking *** through a straw he was forced out as producer for all remaining films. Veeger!? After years of fans waiting that's what he gives them is a Voyager probe looking for a mom? Come on!

Next Generation? They pretty much told him, "hey we're doing a new Star Trek and here's what we're going to do." He gave recommendations for producers and writers but they were smart enough to keep him out of it. That's why it's the best Star Trek of them all because he wasn't involved with it.

Star Wars > Star Trek

If you don't agree, you can go **** yourself.

I saw a story on "The Today Show" today about this. They showed the clip, but didn't mention anything about an uproar about it. The sad thing about all this is that no doubt ever entered my mind about that this is truth.

I keep envisioning Lucas's decision process here. Was it an afterthought, or did he ponder it at length before deciding to add it? I don't know which one is worse.

George Lucas, you are a plastic surgeon. The original trilogy is Michael Jackson's face. STOP! Stop trying to add content to these movies!

My name is George Lucas. I am a writer, director, and producer of motion pictures and Chairman of the Board of Lucasfilm Ltd., a multi-faceted entertainment corporation.
I am not here today as a writer-director, or as a producer, or as the chairman of a corporation. I've come as a citizen of what I believe to be a great society that is in need of a moral anchor to help define and protect its intellectual and cultural heritage. It is not being protected.

The destruction of our film heritage, which is the focus of concern today, is only the tip of the iceberg. American law does not protect our painters, sculptors, recording artists, authors, or filmmakers from having their lifework distorted, and their reputation ruined. If something is not done now to clearly state the moral rights of artists, current and future technologies will alter, mutilate, and destroy for future generations the subtle human truths and highest human feeling that talented individuals within our society have created.

A copyright is held in trust by its owner until it ultimately reverts to public domain. American works of art belong to the American public; they are part of our cultural history.
People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians, and if the laws of the United States continue to condone this behavior, history will surely classify us as a barbaric society. The preservation of our cultural heritage may not seem to be as politically sensitive an issue as "when life begins" or "when it should be appropriately terminated," but it is important because it goes to the heart of what sets mankind apart. Creative expression is at the core of our humanness. Art is a distinctly human endeavor. We must have respect for it if we are to have any respect for the human race.

These current defacements are just the beginning. Today, engineers with their computers can add color to black-and-white movies, change the soundtrack, speed up the pace, and add or subtract material to the philosophical tastes of the copyright holder. Tommorrow, more advanced technology will be able to replace actors with "fresher faces," or alter dialogue and change the movement of the actor's lips to match. It will soon be possible to create a new "original" negative with whatever changes or alterations the copyright holder of the moment desires. The copyright holders, so far, have not been completely diligent in preserving the original negatives of films they control. In order to reconstruct old negatives, many archivists have had to go to Eastern bloc countries where American films have been better preserved.

In the future it will become even easier for old negatives to become lost and be "replaced" by new altered negatives. This would be a great loss to our society. Our cultural history must not be allowed to be rewritten.

There is nothing to stop American films, records, books, and paintings from being sold to a foreign entity or egotistical gangsters and having them change our cultural heritage to suit their personal taste.

I accuse the companies and groups, who say that American law is sufficient, of misleading the Congress and the People for their own economic self-interest.
I accuse the corporations, who oppose the moral rights of the artist, of being dishonest and insensitive to American cultural heritage and of being interested only in their quarterly bottom line, and not in the long-term interest of the Nation.

The public's interest is ultimately dominant over all other interests. And the proof of that is that even a copyright law only permits the creators and their estate a limited amount of time to enjoy the economic fruits of that work.

There are those who say American law is sufficient. That's an outrage! It's not sufficient! If it were sufficient, why would I be here? Why would John Houston have been so studiously ignored when he protested the colorization of "The Maltese Falcon?" Why are films cut up and butchered?

Attention should be paid to this question of our soul, and not simply to accounting procedures. Attention should be paid to the interest of those who are yet unborn, who should be able to see this generation as it saw itself, and the past generation as it saw itself.

I hope you have the courage to lead America in acknowledging the importance of American art to the human race, and accord the proper protection for the creators of that art-as it is accorded them in much of the rest of the world communities.

That's rich.
