    Smile Darth Vader said "Arrgh". Twice. BlueRay Scandal?

    I laughed really hard when I heard on misc news today, that lots of Star Wars fans (well I am one too but not that much of a fanatic) intend to boycott the upcoming BlueRay version of the original movies because Darth Vader said "Arrgh" in them in two places he didn't do so originally.

    What are your thoughts about this?
    Seems mighty rediculous to me, but maybe there are people who think it's a real issue?

    Arrgh!!! what a pity I would say with a bit of extreme on top.
    What would Darth Vader, the man himself, think of all this I wonder?

    I'd say some people have too much time on their hands.

    Yea they really must have way too much time... heh.
    And I think Darth Vader would just silently strike the head off whoever put in the "Arghh"... or was it "Nooo"... I don't quite remember

    I bet the whole pocket protector crowd is all a buzz over it -- texting and twittering their chubby little fingers to the bone -- rushing out to buy the DVD's with the extra "arrgh's." It's a stroke of marketing genius!

    Yea... just the way some people would pay 10 times more if they knew George Lucas had personally sneezed on each DVD

    I can't get into Star Wars. I thought the first one was campy good fun -- but the rest were boring to me. I went to see "The Empire Strikes Back" at a film series on a giant screen at an old theater -- and I swear, it's the only movie I've ever seen that put me to sleep. Saw the first of the newer three and thought it was also a real snooze-fest. But to each his own, I suppose.

    I find the reaction absurd, but I have no room to speak. I think every time George tinkers with classics, he's just at it to make more money. But some of the changes (in every addition) I do approve of, like the blinking ewoks, CGI Yoda in The Phantom Menace, and windows on Cloud City. Others I despise. In my heart, Han ALWAYS shoots first.

    I saw the first of the Star Wars movies at my son's urging (David went on his own to the others.), so I know who Darth Vader is, but what does 'Arghh' mean, and why should he say or not say it?

    It's a given that forum-dwellers can make an issue out of pretty well anything.
