Star Wars was great, A New Hope is total crap

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2004)

I just got the box set of the first 3 Star Wars movies, only to discover that it contains A New Hope, not Star Wars...
for those who don't understand the distinction, Star Wars is the film that was released in 1977, capturing the hearts, minds, and dollars of movie-goers everywhere. A New Hope if the crap that Lucasfilm released in the late 90s that includes really poorly done CGI and new scenes, many of which contradict things that we've previously seen in the film (just why was that bounty hunter looking for Han Solo? for Jabba? Jabba finds Han in the very next scene... dumb dumb dumb).
Star Wars was great, and if i could buy that I would watch it a thousand times. As it is, Lucasfilm ripped me off for another $43. I'd donate it to some orphanage or something, only i prefer to just throw trash away.
Congratulations, Lucasfilm, on tricking me out of my money. It's the last you'll ever get. From here on out, I'm done with yer products, even the non-Star Wars ones. This paying customer says "c ya".

Oh, btw... The Phantom Edit is what Phantom Menace could have been, and even it can't overcome the bad story, bad cinematography, and atrocious acting.
