It is not an older Hayden just him as he looks now. But that was one of the first things that leaked about the boxset. In the original and special edition it is sebastian shaw that is the ghost. Lucas made the change as apparently when you go to the dark side your ghost takes the form as you looked before you turned. well that is what he says now any way.

He makes it up as he goes along. Fact is, Hayden fits the moment and its one of the things he could change to spice it up abit.

I bought it btw and I'm a big star wars fan. Just reckon Lucas thinks we're all idiots to believe he had this grand vision of how everything panned out 30 years ago but its only now he's able to actually put it together properly.

I just didn't recognise Hayden with the different hairstyle. :)

Sir, the quality if the grammer in the post indeed indicates you have been living up to your screen name, is this really you making this post?

Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 

Watched 4 & 5, just watching 6 atm :)

Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 

watched all the films and am now working my way through the bonus disc.

Having heard that these were different from the Special Editions of 97 i was expecting to be dissapointed but apart from changing the voice of Boba Fett and putting in Hayden Christianson the changes were ok.

It has been rumoured that next year he will release another DVD with the original footage and no special features. There is also a petition website setup to get this done called www.originaltrilogy.com

as mentioned somewhere else in this tread the models and stuff looked far better that the CGI stuff. You can tell straight away when something has been done with CGI but the models wasn't always the case. Some of the matt paintings that made up hte backgrounds of Bespin and other places were superb as well.

What I would have liked to see on the bonus disc was one of the original edit where the start story went on for pages and the battles were shown with WWII planes instead.

An original script instead would have been nice as well. Not the shooting one but some of the missing scenes.

Anyone know what is happening with 7-9 which were also meant to be filmed at some point and George has the stories for.

Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 

I think I can safely say that this will never happen - I know that Uncle George is a bit skint now, what with doing the prequels, but he's always been fairly adamant that he won't re-release the films as they originally were (and Han shot first!) :(

As far as I'm aware, he's decided not to do 7-9 for a number of reasons, chief amongst them being that they take up so much if his life, and he's nearly 60 now (I think!). One of the problems that he'd have there is that, over the last 25 years, there's been probably hundreds of books all taking place after the events of ROTJ, so it would have to take all of that into account somehow.

Re: Star Wars 4-6 on DVD this Sept. 21!
 

he's already mapped out the story for 7-9 and all the writters of these books get a copy of the star wars almanac that details what will happen in the future.

Han and Leai getting married and her having twins came from Lucas as i think did the Jedi Academy that Luke setup.
