Following the rumours of more changes in the Blu-ray edition of Star Wars, a Lucasfilm spokesman has confirmed that some scenes will indeed be tweaked. For instance, Darth Vader screams in the video after the jump.
Do you approve of the changes? [NYT]

Friday, September 2, 2011 at 9:30 AMIs there a “Star Wars Unaltered-Except-for-that-one-scene-where-the-Emperor-looked-like-a-monkey,-we-changed-that-bit-because-that’s-a-continuity-thing” edition I can get somewhere?

Friday, September 2, 2011 at 9:31 AMSeriously, it’s blueray, why can’t they just have the original version on the same disc, it’s only a handful of scenes, then fans of the original can be happy and so can lucas by having his altered version as the default.

Friday, September 2, 2011 at 9:49 AMMST3K mantra time, guys. They’re just movies. Why not save your anger for nauseating acts of historical revisionism on actual history?

Friday, September 2, 2011 at 3:27 PMYou’re saying they’re not real? They are historical documents. They state at the beginning “A Long time ago”. I hate it when people live in a state of denial of the attrocities that have gone on in the past under the rule of the Emperor.

Friday, September 2, 2011 at 12:02 PMOne day, Lucas will get tired of thinking up new names for the next SW re-re-re-re-release and just call it “Give me your money, you sad losers”

How can someone be so selfish and hate their fans so much? He’s like a spoilt kid who just wants everything his way no matter how unreasonable it is.
