(...) Well, this must be why George Lucas still has a career... The director's cut/international version develops the characters and the plot more fully.

(...) I'm going to have to disagree with you here. I think the original US release is the better of the two. The additional scenes in the Director's Cut don't really add much to the film, and Jerry Goldsmith's score, while very nice, does not convey (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jun-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Yes, there are many differences between the Directors Cut and the US Release, but I won't tell everyone to forget the US Release. Reasons why? Of (...)

Hey Y'all: Just a quick note here to mention the release of the DVD "Legend Ultimate Edition." U.S. fans of this previously deeply flawed film should prick up their virtual ears and take note that this release is actually 2 discs in one and all for (...)
