Time Machine

[Nerath]

Well, I currently don't have time to model. Perhaps when the holidays come.

This is General Discussion, so I see nothing wrong with chatting about movies

Well, Tony, I'd love to see some of the Peter/MJ love stuff gone, too, but it's practically half the plot if you really think about it. One of Peter's main motivations in the movie, aside from stopping Doc Ock's plot to blow up half New York City, is MJ. And I will agree that Molina/Ock was good. In fact, he made the movie for me. Had the villain been Harry as the Hobgoblin (as some people thought at one time), the movie would be nowhere near as awesome. And the game may be bad for PC, but the PS2 game is good I liked it, anyway.

I never saw I, Robot, much to my regret. Nor have I read the book, though I'm sure I should, and I'm also sure it bears little similarity to the movie. Not that I mind.

Gremdek, I actually liked the pod race the best. I don't really remember much about the fight with Maul. Lasersabre? You mean lightsaber?

What did they change when they remade the old trilogy?

[TheGlove]

they did ?

[TonyG2]

Lucasfilm have re-released an altered the original trilogy so often its hard to track the changes.

As best as I can explain it:

In "A New Hope"

(1) Changed the name from Star Wars to A new Hope
(2) Greedo is CGI'd and shoots at Solo first (whereas originally Solo shot him on the cue"Over my Dead Body"..
(3) A CGI's Jaba the Hut was added (in the unshown footage of the original movie, Jaba was a large fat human)
(4) Cleaned up some effects distortion around the Falcon when it launches from Mos Eisly, plus shots of the Falcon from overhead when taking off.
(5) Lots of views of Mos Eisly
(6) Restores Luke meeting up with Biggs (cut from the original)
(7) CGI shots of the X Wings launching and larger formations heading for the Death Star.

Empire Strike Back

Not sure. There were some but cannot recall what they were

Return of The Jedi

Most noticable were the scenes of celebration around the Galaxy at the end of the movie and - in the new DVD version - pasting young Anakin's head onto old Anakin's body in the ghostly firelight sequence right at the end.

Probably many more but those are the basics.

oh, minimal special effects enhancements basically ??

You've forgotten the scene where han faces a lot of stormtroopers in the deathstar, in SWa new hope. it has been changed too.

(I'm using one of the computers of my university (in the "student's house" - free fast connection for everything you want-), so I haven't logged in, but I'm Cherel :-P)
