Yup. And here's some more info from CHUD.com:
I can't wait! I'm so sick and tired of all the whining anti-SE people out there that I'm looking forward to Lucas making more changes to the OT so that these babies just get sick of Star Wars altogether and leave the rest of us alone. I didn't like all of the changes made to the SE's (Luke screaming in ESB, that song in RotJ), but I didn't hate them and enjoyed most of the other changes (even though they need some f/x cleanup). How can so many people harbor so much hatred for Lucas? Because he's "killing their childhood memories"?? Grow up, people! SW is Lucas's creation, and his legacy. He wants them to be as close to his original vision as possible before he dies. He's making these changes for himself. Even if we don't agree with all of the changes, why must everyone cry over them for so long? If you don't like it fine, don't watch them. They're just movies, for crying out loud.
Quote:"...Besides, I can't wait for the full details of the set (including the films themselves) to start leaking out. Then the real sh*tstorm will begin. It's gonna be fun to watch.
You guys should try and conserve some of your bitterness until then. Seriously."
"I can say this much, though (and it has now been confirmed through multiple sources in different places)... the versions of the films on the discs will not be the same exact ones that were released in 1997. And they are far from the Classic versions, too. Take that for what you will."
Rex Hudler: "Carl, you've got to tell me more! Did they make any real changes to the movies themselves that a regular guy like me would notice? "
Carl: "Without saying too much (or being descriptive)... hell, yes.
I'm telling you, this DVD release is going to be the single most polarizing event in SW fandom since TPM.
Lucas is about the throw a ton of kerosene onto the fanboy fire."
Then people started begging him for some clue about what was changed, and he said this:
"Ok, you little whiners... this is ALL you are getting for a while:
Remember the rumors of a prequel actor filming footage during the EP3 shoot that would be put into the OT somewhere? Absolutely true... and you'll see for yourself when the DVDs are released. In fact, you just may have already "seen" it, though not quite. Also, John Williams is involved again... in a way.
And I might add a small riddle or two, of sorts.
"wamp was it that you like, again?"
"Oh, you like a fresh cup of Javva?"
How's that for cryptic? And that's all you're getting."
