With James Cameron at the helm, we know that the Titanic movie was basically a cornball the size of the doomed liner herself. But what would be different if George Lucas, J.J. Abrams, and Michael Bay were consulted during the film’s production? Check out the trailer for Titanic: SUPER 3D after the break and wonder no more.
George Lucas has been making the media rounds lately for Red Tails and the 3D re-release of The Phantom Menace, and of course reporters can’t resist bringing up age old questions about the Star Wars universe. In one of the interviews, Lucas explains why he changed the Han Solo and Greedo scene in the Mos Eisley Cantina. Of all the changes made in the special editions, this is the one you’ll hear fans freak out over most often (there’s no rage quite like nerd-rage). His explanation might fuel the flames of said rage. He basically says Han never shot first—and it’s actually plausible.
Read his explanation after the break.
Apparently, all the bitching we do about the prequels and the changes George Lucas made to the original Star Wars films actually hits home. He’s retiring from blockbusters and vows to never make another Star Wars movie because fanboys have scared him off.

We mentioned that Darth Vader is getting an added line of dialogue, but that’s far from the only difference fans will see in the upcoming Blu-ray release. As journalists get preview copies, the list of alterations continues to grow. The latest news says that Obi-Wan makes an impressive dragon noise in A New Hope to distract the Jawas, Jabba’s Palace gets a new door, more TIE Fighters are added to the battle at the end of Return of the Jedi, and Ewoks blink. Yes, that last one is as creepy as it sounds.
Check out the changes after the jump.
You may have heard that George Lucas has made a few more changes to his Star Wars films for the big Blu-ray release. Most of these alterations appear to be small and focused on removing errors and polishing the video. However, there is one big change—Lucas has replaced Frank Oz’s Yoda puppet from The Phantom Menace with a CGI version.
Compare the two in the videos after the break and decide whether or not you should be pissed off.
The complete Star Wars saga is finally coming to Blu-ray on September 16. As many suspected, the original theatrical editions of episodes IV-VI will not be included. What other changes can fans expect though? Because this fan would be surprised if nothing was altered. The good news is that this time around the changes appear to be minor for the most part—but you know it’s going to anger some purists.

This fan film explores a conspiracy theory that George Lucas was kidnapped and replaced by a doppleganger during the period when the prequels were made. Now the real George has escaped…and he’s ready to strike back.

Apparently, George Lucas is only hedging his bets with with the release of Star Wars in 3D next year, because he recently explained to Seth Rogan how he truly believes that the world will end in 2012.
He recalls, “George Lucas sits down and seriously proceeds to talk for around 25 minutes about how he thinks the world is gonna end in the year 2012, like, for real. He thinks it.
“He’s going on about the tectonic plates and all the time Spielberg is, like, rolling his eyes, like, ’My nerdy friend won’t shut up, I’m sorry…’
Let’s face it, no matter how many crappy sequels he makes, you will always have a soft spot for George Lucas. He gave grown men an excuse to dress up in costumes and play with toys—and for that we are forever grateful. So, honor him by decorating your parent’s basement with one of these exquisite oil painting prints. Other celebrity versions are also available.
