What are these rumors? Oh I don't know- how about added dialogue and blinking Ewoks, blinking Ewoks for Gods sake.
Lucas is normally very good about what he decides to pull out of his neck pouch but he's probably crossed the line by messing with the classics. I was all with him when he decided to add three more Star Wars movies to kinda round out the story, it made sense. And hell even doing the animation stuff- great new stories for a new generation of fans.
But diehards are going to be pissed and if he thinks he's bigger than them he's got another thing coming. They are forming boycotts of the new Blu-Ray package and will probably have no real effect. Let's face it Lucas is bigger than the diehards and the boycotts will only include middle-aged dudes who still live at home and still thing it's real.
Criticisms about the "tinkering' with the films state that its director has "destroyed the dramatic impact of the most iconic scenes in American film history." Comments online to boycott the Blu-ray package claim that the purchase "sends a message it is okay to mess with the originals."
The 9-disc release includes all six of the films: Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, and Star Wars: The Original Trilogy (Episodes IV - VI).
Bonus features include audio commentary from George Lucas, archival interviews with cast and crew, deleted, extended and alternate scenes, footage of costume turnarounds and concept art.
