You know, when a teenage girl is raped and impregnated, I think she should have that choice. I think every woman should have that choice, honestly. Who am I to tell a female what she can or can not do to herself?

What I don't like about this debate is that it is so easy to get on some fake moral highground and dismiss the girl as a slut or a whore. But where are all the protestors after she doesn't have the abortion? They don't give 2 fucks about that baby after it's born. It's easy to say 'Human life is precious' when you don't have to deal with it.

We all know abortions are disturbing to look at, but so are countless other medical precedures. No one likes abortion, but illegalizing them won't make them go away.

And God puts all world leaders in place. Not just Bush. I don't remember the exact scripture however.


So God put Saddam in place? Think things through next time.

America is not theocracy. God doesn't elect our leaders and if you think he does, don't vote.

Is anyone else sick of hearing this statement as a defense to the alterations. What i cant wait for is when Lucas decides to replace the entire cast with ewoks and how the 'Lucas is God' fans will force themselves to like it.

When TPM came out, I was most certainly a Lucas die-hard. I forced myself to like it at the time, by selectively ignoring all the bad parts and surrounding myself with like-minded positive reviews. There isn't a specific time or event that caused me to completely switch sides, more of a graduel giving up in trying to defend the undefendable Phantom Menace. Looking back, it's funny to see the Lucas fanboys saying exactly the same things I was saying 5 years ago and realizing how desperate they are to justify themselves. At the same time (coming back to the 'Star Wars belongs to George Lucas' point) it can be unbelievably annoying.

I agree. Changes like that don't destroy the story or anything. But I think people forget that when you make an FX movie in that 70s/ early 80s limitations of the technology at the time will be apparant.

In mean in 20 so years, we've just gone from crappy practical effects to crappy digital effects. But atleast with practical, what you're seeing is physically there, thus looking real.
