I think if Lucas has any mental disorder, it'd be ADD.

 Speaking of ADD, I have no issues with the ABOMINATIONSABER,

 wut?

and I think a rolling ball-droid makes a hell of a lot more sense in the desert than R2-D2's tiny RC vehicle wheels.

I just wish they'd have gone with McQuarrie's rolling R2 design. With all the other McQuarrie stuff being used, it's extra disappointing to me.

The simplest means of fixing the PT
Time

The only things I like about any of the PT is the look of the pod racer vehicles and casting Ewan McGreggor as Obi-Wan. But I hate the pod race and PT Obi-Wan.
So, In my opinion, you're gonna have to do quite a bit more than change Jar-Jars voice to "fix" these films.
Honestly, I can't think of anything from the PT I'd wanna keep.

So, my post is useless.
As usual.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

I dunno if the scaling and all is correct or not, but I really like this and think Revisited needs something like it to replace the shot of the lone AT-AT after Luke crashes.
As it stands, the AT-AT appears to be in the middle of nowhere and it seems Luke has plenty of time to get out before the slow, lumbering thing gets to him. Then, suddenly, it's about to step right on him.
Even in Ronsters mock-up it looks like Luke would have plenty of time before the AT-At reaches him. He should be more worried about being blasted by it's AT-ST escort than being stomped by the AT-AT.


I know suggestions are closed, but this scene really bugs me.

A new Indiana Jones?

Cooper and Pratt are both too funny. 

Harrison Ford looked, and sounded like a stoic action hero. So whenever Indiana fumbled, or was goofy, it seemed almost out of place. I think therein lied the charm of the character.

 You nailed it.
I'd never believe in Chris Pratt as Dr. Jones because I know his real-life personality is nothing like him. Harrison, on the other hand, seemed like he really could have been that guy.

But, that's so rarely the case. usually an actor (especially a "known" actor) really has to work hard to make the audience stop thinking of them as their real-life selves and create a very different character that the audience can believe in..
Whoever tries to follow Harrisons performance would also have the added grief of trying to make the audience accept them as a character we're already so familiar with..
I wouldn't envy any actor in that situation...
