EDITORIAL: The REAL Classics on DVD

Posted By Joshua on March 17, 2003

In this Monday's new Jedicouncil Editorial, Joshua Griffin and friends take on the subject of only the special editions coming to DVD per Lucas' comments a month ago in Los Angeles. Fans have been frustrated over the announcement, so head to the editorials page for the pulse of fandom:

Star Wars: A New Hope was a landmark movie for its time. I'm not sure people fully appreciate how much so, on hindsight, because these days big budget effects movies are very standard. But in 1977, this was not a set trend. No, on the contrary, A New Hope was the leader of this trend. Oh, there were other's that led up to it as well (2001, Logan's Run, to name a couple), but the overwhelming success of A New Hope pioneered a new age of effects and gained a new respect for the genre of science fiction. This was even made stronger by the continued blockbuster success of the following two films. If ten, twenty, or however many years down the road, ANH (or any other Classic Trilogy film) is only available is some "new" form with new scenes added in and modernized effects, what will be available will not reflect the work of art that revolutionized an industry. A piece of history will be lost, even if the entertainment value is not. Shouldn't this snapshot in film history be preserved?
