Instead of putting the DVD sets in the bin people should use them to make giant reflective domes over their communities.

Will it repel a nuclear attack?

You will have to ask an expert but if we do this for George maybe he will help us OUT.

Looks like someone is beating you to it.

Trilogy of well written and acted films which tie into the original trilogy or it didn't happen ;-)

That, sir, is the biggest damn gauntlet I've ever seen thrown down.

Well done.

Like someone somewhere in this forum mentioned, that the other kid, that has been seen in the making of TPM, would have been better than Jake Lloyd, so do I think, that Padalecki could have been better than Christensen. He was cast, but didn't win. And maybe he would have also failed under the so called "direction" by a certain Mr. Lucas.

I thought, it would be fun, if someone would make a trilogy of novels or even films, that are well written (and/or acted), that would tell the story of the prequels, but not under the title Star Wars and with other character-names (to avoid copyright issues), maybe not even in the science fiction genre.

I've not seen Padalecki in action enough to make a retroactive prediction but it would have been difficult to be worse than Hayden.

I know Lucas managed to draw leaden performances from even gifted actors but I haven't seen Hayden good in anything of significance.

Hayden was really good in "Life as a House".

For Padalecki: If you're interested in Horror/Drama I recommend "Supernatural", for it is a really well written and good acted show. Maybe if you like "Buffy", you'll like this one, too.

 In "Factory Girl" Christensen played Bob Dylan, and was surprisingly good.  The movie itself wasn't the greatest.  Good performances, but historical nonsense.

Thanks to the PT, the SW movies (not that Clone Wars junk) has gone from 2/3 good to 2/3 bad. We're basically on the same level as Highlander fans now.

Sounding like a broken record since May 2006.

But being angry about it forever is going to accomplish nothing. Neither is being disrespectful. My father has done absolutely nothing to earn disrespectful tirades and personal attacks.

So, do him and I the courtesy of having a little goddamn respect.

I'm sure in his private life George is a kind father and a good friend to those who know him, he might even be a good boss if you are lucky enough to be employed by him.

He certainly has given a lot to charity and played a part in pushing the technology of the moving image along to the point that almost anyone could make a rather epic looking film in their living room (though the possibility of success is not a guarantee of success in that respect).

But if Anne Hathaway caught her husband in the act of burning the original manuscripts to Henry IV Part One because Falstaff didn't match up with the later plays she would be a lousy human being not to stop him*, author's rights or not (and George Lucas is no William Shakespeare).

Yeah, did someone say that to her? She seems to understand people's dislike for the prequels (and maybe secretly doesn't like them that much herself) so maybe she'd have some understanding for our case, if it was explained respectfully. Someone should give her the link to savestarwars.com. She may be especially interested in the  article about George's speech in congress.

And I can choose not to watch them but I can't pretend they don't exist and enjoy the three movies that inspired me and millions of others, because when I watch the only available versions of them, I'm constantly being reminded of the existence of the prequels.

Pffftt. Of course his daughter would say something like that ;)

But seriously what does she expect from something like goddamn Twitter. Don't advertise the fact you're Katie LUCAS. Kids these day have no concept of keeping their private lives to themselves. My lawn. Get off it.
