Reasons You Should Not Buy Star Wars On Blue-Ray
Recently, the mega popular Star Wars has been released on Blu-Ray. These movies are of the original trilogy which feature the legendary Luke Skywalker and his allies taking on the villainous Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire. As a long time fan of Star Wars, knowing the original trilogy has been released on Blu-Ray with all new edits and scenes should make me happy. But the sad thing is I am not happy with what the Blu-Ray Special Addition has in regards to Star Wars. I have no desires to buy it and nor should you. Here are my reasons why I will not buy the new Blu-Ray Star Wars.
First of all, the fact that many new scenes were added in just for the sake of adding them in upsets me. I am quite positive that George Lucas had reasons for removing certain scenes. However, with each new Special Addition, more and more cut scenes are added in to fluff up the movie. In fact, the only reason why Greedo’s scene where he first shoots Han Solo was added to put to rest the notion of Who Shot First.
Another reason that I will not buy the Blu-Ray Star Wars is how they turned Darth Vader from a cold, heartless warrior we know him in the Trilogy as an emotional being who shouts,”No!” when he throws down Emperor Palpatine. Why that was added, I do not know.
Still, I find it very insulting when these Special Additions bastardize the overall greatness of a classic. Sure, in some cases, Special Addition movies add to the magic of the movie, but when it is overdone, then it starts to cheapen the overall greatness of the film. Therefore, these reasons are why I will never buy the Star Wars Special Addition on Blu-Ray and nor should you.If you like what you see, keep going: Other ‘Star Wars’ Blu-Ray Changes George Lucas Could Make (PICTURES)
