Call me ignorant, but what is Rule 34.  I did a Google search and the links make me nervous to click on anything for fear of running into something naughty.

But otherwise I am in complete agreement with your statement.

The ROTJ collaborative thread is a wealth of ideas, both on how to edit Return of the Jedi, as well as how to collaborate in an edit.  Emanswfan has taken leadership of the project.

You don't have to click on a link to read, "If it exists there is porn about it".

Meh.

God doesn't think in terms of black or white - or even shades of gray - but in big, bright, bold hues of blue and orange.

Fans: This film is getting worse all the time!

I'm reading the ROTJ novel, and I have to say that I find the whole slave Leia bit pretty disturbing.  I mean, the film and book really don't say much about it, and I know it's a kids movie, and furthermore I understand that GL was probably looking for an excuse to please his adolescent male fans by getting Carrie Fisher in a bikini, but...in reality she would have been horribly traumatized by this experience.  If the Star Wars universe were real, I imagine that Leia would have been horribly sexually assaulted, probably numerous times, prior to her escape.  These are evil, horrible monsters that clearly have little respect for the rights of others, and the only females you see in the group are slave dancers.  In the book Jabba actually kisses/licks Leia and later forces her to drink out of his goblet ("Soon you will learn to appreciate me.").  I know it's a kid's movie, but as an adult this part actually strikes me as pretty dark.

Sorry, not trying to be gross.  It's just a random thought that entered my head.

This is why I find Kevin Smith's opinion on this matter so skeevy.

On a related note, I wonder if George had a reason for doing this other than fanservice. Could it be that he was making a subtle point about the seductive power of evil, and that the following revelation about Leia was meant to reveal to Luke (and the audience) just how twisted this kind of seduction really was? Or am I giving him too much credit?

What's his opinion on this matter? Did I miss something?

My reading comprehension sucks.

Disney looking at SW Land for its parks? Say it ain't so! Please no Disney. Stop commercializing DLand. Do whatever the fuck you want to California Adventure, but Disneyland should be above blatant tie-ins for the sake of money like that (although it's becoming more and more apparent they disagree with me on that one.) Take the new Cars Land. It's a lot of fun, but it's a great example of what's wrong. It's just marketing and (eventually) free advertisement instead of a truly unique parkgoing experience. SW Land would be the final nail in the coffin for me. Tomorrrowland's premise is basically already forgotten.

That said I grew up in the '90s and it's likely I'm just some stupid manchild too blind to see that was the park's purpose in the first place. I'm attached to how they were able to separate the park itself from their properties - yes, there are rides specific to many of them, but the areas themselves are unique. I just... oh whatever.

Star Wars themed attractions seem to make perfect sense to me.

If they were done well.

If Disney has the space for it I'd make a Mos Disney spaceport with speeders and droids. Troopers policing the place. Star Tours could take off from there. You could eat in a Cantina.

It'll be great in a wretched hive sort of way.

They gave up on that a long time ago once they started incorporating characters from the POTC movies into the ride. Heck even It's a Small World is filled with Disney characters now. At least they only convert the Haunted Mansion for a limited time around Halloween.

I for one have always longed for a Star Wars theme park. So I hope they do it well.
