Posted on AICN, claiming to be from the new DVD release. Legit or fake?

For legit: George Lucas would totally do this.

For fake: Obi Wan and Yoda are old, not the young padawans. Why woudln't Anakin be?

Tell me it ain't so!!!!!! [Wall Bash]

Put me down for "Fake."

Although I'm less oppossed to dramatic changes in the original series than most, I don't think this one's legit.

Actually, when I saw the thread title, I expected to see Hayden's prosthetic-covered mug under the mask in the scene on the death star.

Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :

Actually, word on the street is that this IS legit. And a bit more changes have been made as well. Looks like these DVDs will be the 'Archival Editions'.

And the word is that Anakin appears like this (young) because "the spirits don't age or progress during the time they're in the Dark Side"

How sad. Yet another reason not to buy the DVDs.

*sigh* Why -- WHY -- won't Lucas just release the friggin' original versions?

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

I would gladly buy the original version on DVD, but I will *not* buy this crap.

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :

Because he doesn't like them as much as we do, obviously.

BTW, Tom, do you still need Lyrsa?

I wouldn't put this sort of thing past him, but I HOPE it's fake.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

Yes, I think I DO need Lyrsa. Would you E-mail me ASAP? [Smile]

if this is true, it will help to ruin what i feel is one of the best trilogies ever. i mean what else are they going to change. are they going to add Jar Jar binks blowing up the second death star?

Don't make suggestions!

You know, I remember glancing at this graphic novel at Barnes and Noble that actually had Vader come down and fight Yoda. And then, Jake Lloyd Anikan popped out and started dueling with him that way. I think that would be worse.

Here's to hoping this was fake.
