dude, this topic should be pinned. Maybe if it gets in the media maybe Lucas finally chanches his mind.

Keep dreaming dude.

I find your lack of faith disturbing... sensible, but disturbing.

Just remember a famous OT quote: "Oh this is suicide! Their is no way to go!"

Fixed for ya'.

How do we contact that Criterian guy and beg him to do the Star Wars collection?

Find out and post it here, though I'm sure they've offered. I'm sure Lucasfilm is the one who is the holdout on something like that. Sacrifice some profits? Bah, we'll just do a crappy in-house job and keep it all.

Look 'em up and post 'em.

Heh, that would be awesome. Once again, it's probably unlikely, but, then again, he has taken jabs at Lucas before, so you never know!

Another person to contact for help in this matter is New York Daily News movie reviewer Jami Bernard. E-her at jami@jamibernard.com

The Boston Globe
The Boston Globe has a page dedicated for contacts: Boston Globe Contact Page

The most relevant contacts for the Living Arts section where they give the email/number for their reporters and editors. There are thirty-eight contacts for that section alone, too many to post so I'll link to the page with them:

It may be easier to hit up local affiliates and smaller news rather than the National press itself. Find a couple of local people who feel the same way you do and contact your local news, if you're alone they are more likely to ignore you. Once the little guys start to talk about it the big ones will too, just a thought.

Welcome to the boards fedtho. Any addresses you can dig up that haven't been posted, post 'em here.

Just a thought, but would an effective strategy be to utilize sympathetic members of the 501st, Rebel Legion, and/or Fanforce to even set up some kind of protest?

I don't think there's a better way to capture media attention than a bunch of beautiful geeky folks trooping around protesting the recent announcement. Does anyone have any contacts in any of those organizations?

I don't have any direct links to those guys, but you might want to try emailing the folks at www.lietv.com latestissuetv@gmail.com They recently interviewed the Jedi folk who put on professional duels in NYC, and may be able to utilize them as a contact for the others.(Great idea by the way, doing the protest to draw media attention)

Jay, I just visited the home page for the first time in a couple weeks. Thanks for noting this thread front and center. I hope it is inspiring others to act. I find it interesting that EW has remained mum on the situation thus far. Totally mum, which is more curious than ass-kissing on the set. Aside from a ho-hum to the initial announcement, I've seen nada.

For newbies to this thread, be sure to read all the pages. Lots of good addresses have been provided in previous posts.

Seeing as Lucas is screwing us, here's a link for people who want to screw him back:



I'm sure there's an equivalent organisation in the US too.
