RE: Cine TV comp - new is not always better....

I watched it again fairly recently and still enjoyed it. It's a long time since I read the books, so I don't remember what was changed. I do know that it's not all as Lynch wanted. I heard he nearly got Return of the Jedi. That would have been a different movie.

I've seen the first half of the new one and I knew exactly what the next scene would be. That version seems a bit more earnest and maybe less fun.

80s scifi has a certain feel about it. The effects technology was developing, but was nothing like they have now. The music on some was a bit cheesy. I think Star Wars actually ages pretty well.
