Will you watch your edited version of ROTJ again?

[Calhoun07]

After the uncut DVD comes out, will you bother with watching the cut version again? I doubt I will. Why would I? The uncut version is the true version, and the only version to be considered. The only reason I'd hang on to the old disc is for the bonus features, assuming they won't transplant all of them to the new disc.

I may watch it once or twice just to, I guess, compare side to side. I still watch the edite dversion on DVD from time to time becuase I sor tof enjoy it. Then again, I mainly skip ahead to the fight scene at the end.

[Calhoun07]

I am sure I will watch the edited version a few more times before the uncut DVD comes out, but after that, I am done! As for side by side comparisions...well, I hope to have the movie memorized by then so I don't have to go back to it!

I haven't even watched my ROTJ:edited DVD but twice..once for the movie..2nd for the commentary. I've seen ROTJ edited about 5 times (other 4 were on VHS).

The othere 90 times I watched it would be the un-edited. I'll hang onto my edited copy..just so I can say "I own both versions of the film!" :)

i never seen the edited version. i refussed to when i first heard about the edits, and thanks to nightwing3118 (i'm not sure if those are his #, but something like that) i have the uncut tape, so i really had no reason to ever rent or buy the edited version. hmmm, i kind of want to see it now just to see what its like. one of these days...

[Calhoun07]

I would have never gotten the edited version if I could have scored a copy of the uncut on DVD, even a bootleg edition.

[Trent Lane]

I've been lucky enough to see it uncut, so I just can't watch the editted version anymore. The uncut ruined it for me....

Pretty much same here. I'd like to say that I have both. I sitl wonder what our opinion on the movie would have been if we didn't know it was being cut...

[Calhoun07]

I guess what we don't know doesn't hurt us, so I am sure if fans never knew about the cuts, they wouldn't have complained so much and had such an aversion to the edited version. Of course, some of the cuts aren't so well done so anybody with a sharp eye would have detected these "errors" in the movie and as we all know any amount of good research would have turned up the truth eventually, and I feel the backlash against WB would have been even more severe once fans discovered they were duped into buying a movie they felt was the version that was supposed to be released all along.

I will watch the edited once in a while but only when I'm on a Batman movie watch spree and to get really upset about how unfair and badly made the cuts were

If the unedited ROTJ ever really comes to DVD, I most likely won't watch the edited version - I've only watched the edited version twice - once to see it for myself, and once to show my friends. I don't know if I'll hold on to the unedited version or not - depends on if I can get the same extras on the unedited version.

Okay, if we could just slap a couple ditto marks all over this I won't have to type anything myself. :) *Slap slap*There we go.

lol. Same thing with me. If the add ons are the same or better there's really no need for me to hang on to it. Maybe give it to my uncle as a christmas gift for my little cousin or something.

The edited version will be of archival interest only, at least to me.

[Kitty Pryde]

I watch it all the time mainly because when there are younger people around and you want to show them a good movie it is ideal.

I also like some things in the edited version but over all i admit the uncut or unedited version is the true version therefore i watch it way more.

[Tim Drake]

I plug it in every now and then to watch the animated storyboards I still want to see the scene between Jordan Pyrce and Bruce Wayne animated.........

What a group of pessimists. OK, I hate to make enemies my first night on this board but I have both versions(Cut DVD and Uncut bootleg VHS) and I kind of think both stand alone. First of all as an inspiring film maker I believe 100% that no movie should be cut. As an ever edit grieved anime fan I believe 100% that no animation should be edited. But as a film lover I think both version of ROTJ have great stuff in them. True the uncut version has those beautifully animated fights movements. But I love Joker's death in the cut version so much more(If only he had said, "That's not funny!" like the comic book adaptation). I think as two separate versions they whole tight as their own animals, like the two versions of The Godfather. And as bad as the fact that the flick got edited is, we got out so lucky. At least weren't talking about flat out plot changes they do to animes like [the first two seasons of] DBZ or Card Captors. At least the WB execs didn't rape the film(please excuse my strong but correct verb) that Sid Sheinberg tried to do to Brazil. ROTJ got out of the Happy Time Hollywood Machine with a few shaving nicks and a new haircut. Love conquers all.

Welcome aboard. You may be interested in the discussion in the "Joker's Death: Edited vs. Original" thread. It was buried in another thread, so I just pulled it out.

[Calhoun07]

Welcome! No, you won't make any enimies here, we all repsect each other's opinions here!

I bet it'll help as soon as you get around to doing that essay for your site. I'm eager to see what you'll come up with for the ROTJ essay - if you plan to do one.

*groan*. Don't remind me. There is SO MUCH that can be said about that film that I'm baffled--got pages and pages of scribbles and no way to organize it.

My most recent hairbrained scheme (er, "brainstorm") is to have a cluster of pages devoted to it, rather than just a single essay/summary. I've already got one just on the "killing" scene. There's a lot more to be said about Terry's growth as Batman, on Wayne's coming to terms with the past, on the nature of loyalty/justice/etc.

Glad to hear there's an interest in my natterings, though. ;)

[Bobby Boy]

Ill watch it again to campare, but probobly just once or twice more. Whats the point when u have the TRUE version???

Yeah, you could just have several short essays on different aspects of ROTJ rather than just 1 big essay. I think that would work well. I don't think that would be bad at all and you wouldn't have to try to tie everything together.
