AWE DVD

[veronica_rich]

The DVD is out in some parts of the world already, and I was reading a scan of part of the box in someone's journal. (I won't say who they are just in case they don't want anyone to know, or get swamped - unless they give me explicit permission for a link.) Since this person has posted a link to their entry in a discussion community, I feel safe in now providing the direct link if you haven't yet seen it.

Two interesting things:

First question: What does the future hold for Will and Elizabeth? Now that he's captain of the Flying Dutchman, is she going to wait for him? Answer: True love never dies, but their story is yet to be told.

Second: Since Will honored his destiny on the Flying Dutchman, in 10 years does he get to return to land for good, thereby freeing his father and crew? Answer: Every 10 years, Will may step on land for one day. He is bound to the Flying Dutchman forever.

There are a few others, too. I don't know if these are on the U.S. DVD, but I'm betting they are. Be interesting to see what fandom reaction is to these (especially that second one, given the writers' insistence on the "only 10 years' service" thing) ...

"I'm actually forgetting what you call it when the actual writers/producers/ mess with canon after the fact to fix things they've screwed up."

Amateurish? Incapable? Inept? #@%&! stupid? :-/

George Lucas?

So true. :-p I didn't care for his changes either.

I liked that Han Solo blew away Greedo. It's part of who he is. The rest of the changes were too superficial to be necessary. He even managed to kill a good joke. (With the Stormtroopers-to-the-power-of-ten cornering Chewie and Han on the Death Star.)

And, did I hear about a possible TV series? *shudders*
