1. Where did you hear that from

3. A space station the size of a moon was destroyed by a one man fighter. Thats pretty damn easy.
4. No Padme was not told about the hanger. They blindly followed Tyrannus there.
5. The flu give me a fucking break
6. I guess that explaination does work a bit
7. But not more then one bald black man in the Jedi council
8. At least we agree on something


1- She told me in a dream (it was a joke)
2- Uh... they had some budget problems because of the new death star (also a joke)
3- If it wasn't for Luke's strongness with the force, they would have failed.
4- Uh... Qui-Gon told her, speaking into her mind (joke)
5- It was flu season (it was a joke, jesus, calm down!)
6- Good.
7- Is that so
8- We sure do ;P

Star Wars DVDs selling fast

Heard about that too. Breaking pre-selling records.

Look, don't get me wrong, I WANT the original version to be released as well, I really do, BUT... since the SE is all we have, I'll have to buy it, Greedo shooting first an all. If they release the original version, I'll get it. If they release an Ultimate Edition, I'll get it too (althought I seriously doubt it'll be released).

The point for buying the SE versions is: even if GL do release an OT version in, let's say, 2 years from now, who knows what may happen to me during those 2 years? I could go blind, I could die a horrible death... I gotta have any SW DVDs I can right now... Before it's too late.

One the actress who plays Beru in Attack of the Clones has brown eyes the actress who plays were in A New Hope has blue eyes.

In A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, the Clone Wars cartoons, and Attack of the Clones the clones are shown as very efficient warriors but in Return of the Jedi they can't kill more then a few ewoks.

Why would the Empire build another Death Star after how easily the last was destroyed.

Padme tells a clone after she falls out of the ship "we got to get to that hanger" how did she know about the hanger

In the Clone Wars cartoons Mace wipes out droids without his lightsaber he couldn't fight this well in Attack of the Clones

In The Phantom Menace when Darth Maul appears in front of them why doesn't Padme order her men to fire. Even he could not block that many shots. Instead the Jedi handle it resulting in Qui-Gons death

In The Phantom Menace when the Jedi coucil arrives on Naboo a bald black man comes out who is suppose to be Mace Windu but is clearly not Samual L Jackson.

In Attack of the Clones Padme gets scratched across the back rips off her entire midriff and sleeve. No way that scratch could do this. It did give excellent visual benefit.


Ok, here goes nothing:

1- She had a terrible accident with a laser beam. Both of her eyes are made out of glass.
2- As I said before: those were the BEST ewoks ever born, and that was the most incompetent stormtrooper army ever.
3- As I also said before: if at first you don't succeed... (and oh, do you think it was EASILY destroyed?)
4- Even I knew about the hanger. Well they told her on the way: "padme there is a hanger." - "cool."
5- He had the flu that day. Look closely, you can see his running nose.
6- She didn't even know exactly who that was, did she? You don't order people to shoot people you don't know.
7- There is more than one black bald man in Naboo.
8- It sure did

I think star wars should never feature sex, not even a slight inuendo. Thats one of the reasons for the failuer of AOTC, the romance thing-y going on. But now you say "oh how about Leia and Solo", well, that was different. They were always fighting and denying their love, it made it kinda interesting...

Yuk, I just thought of something, Leia kissed her brother in ESB... Now, imagine what would happen if she never had met Solo, and they never get to know they were brother and sister. Yes, redneck love comes to mind.

* sigh *

For the last time, this is what is going to happen on episode 3 before the star wars logo appears: we'll see obi-wan, anakin, C3PO, R2-D2, owen and beru running towards each other, on the tatoonie desert. They'll hit each other's heads, and fall to the ground with their memories wiped out. Then GL will appear and say somtehing like "woo, that was a close one! almost forgot about that plot hole! and now for something completly different...", and the star wars logo appears.


Either that, or he'll just ignore that plot hole, and during a press conference to promote episode 3:

"Mr. Lucas, first let me congratulate you on your 6 near-perfection films that compose the amazing star wars saga."
"Thank you."
"But one question remains unanswered: why dosen't C3PO tell Luke he is the son of his creator, and why dosen't he recognizes Owen Lars?"
"F##k! Damn I knew there was something missing... Ok, George, don't panic, do NOT panic, you are in control here..!"
"Mr. Lucas, we can hear what you are saying. You are thinking out loud."
"Shut up, shut up! Ok... The thing is... this happened because of... evil sith-related ewok magic powers. And it'll all be explained on a scene I'll include on the Prequels Special Edition. Now, this press conference is over! Guards, kill'em all!!"

Much like how GL told Tartakofsky (sp?) that they needed to include his character Asajj Ventress in the animated Clone Wars series. The CL creators did not create Asajj, they just introduced her.


But they had Bobba Fett all planned by 1978?

I just wonder why this... "thing" wasn't released officially on VHS or DVD yet (has it?). I haven't seen it, never will, and I know it's BAD, but... I don't know, I belive people would buy it out of curiosity. A very morbid, twisted, sick curiosity. I mean, Leia singing the lyrics for star wars theme song, chewbaccas familly celebrating Life Day... And Bobba's first appearence...

BTW, did the producers of this tv show create bobba fett? I mean, this was made in 1978 right?

The 2004 DVDs are not about connecting with the prequals. They are about making changes that should have been made in 1997 but that Lucas lost time or forgot to make. Be sure that in 2007 there will be Ultimate Editions.


So... why release the DVDs now? I mean, if it's not what he wants us to see... oh yeah, I forgot. Money. So that he can buy his Death Star. Which is what he calls his macaroni and cheese recepie.

First of all... Ultimate Editions? I mean, is that official? Really? As far as I know... it is not.

On the DVD's: I expect them to only correct some minor glitches, as those cuts when turning off lightsabers. Nope, no Han shooting first, no CGI Obi-Wan fighting Vader in a more exciting way, Han will step on Jabba's tail...

Reasons Return of the Jedi is the worst Star Wars movie

1. The Empire couldn't think of anything better then building another death star after how easily the last was destroyed.

2. Boba went out with a burp instead of a bang

3. While Return of the Jedis Vader vs Luke battle wasn't bad the one in The Empire Strikes Back was far superior

4. The word "destiny" is used way to many times

5. A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Attack of the Clones show clones as very efficient warriors but here they couldn't kill more then a few ewoks.

6. Ending is way too happy. They should have killed off a characters.

7. The ewoks were annoying as hell. They looked like a bunch teddy bears. I dislike them more then Jar Jar.

8. Why did the Empire surrender after the death star was destroyed. They still had more then enough fire power to wipe out the last of the rebals

9. Return of the Jedi had alot more responsiblity ending the series then The Phantom Menace did beginning it.

10. Two logs coming together would not destroy a modern tank much less a futuristic walker.

11. Did I mention the ewoks? Thought so



1- If at first you don't succeed...
2- Yeah, sort of. He should have died with his head cut off.
3- They were kinda tired.
4- You can't say "destiny" too much. It's a great word. I use it all the time.
5- Those were the BEST Ewoks ever born, and those were the worse stormtrooper army ever.
6- Palpatine's death made me cry. Oh and Vader died too.
7- Really? You do? Well, look at Yoda's first scenes ("mine, mine, mine!")
8- Basically, they were sick of it. Palpatine was dead, no more death star. "Oh what the hell, we can never win, let's just go home."
9- I'm not sure, but people back then expected the series to continue, right? Althought the original "Revenge of the Jedi" trailler saying it was the final episode.
10- Those were very heavy Endor moon logs.
11- No, you didn't.

Really? And what did they thought about it?

"So... did you guys like my movie?"
"Uh... you see... George..."
"What? It's Jar Jar, right? He's not onscreen long enough, right? And he should be a little bit louder, eh?"
"George, the thing is... by watching your movie... unnecessarly twice... we conclude that you have become... howcanisay... an idiot."
"What?! That means you didn't like my pod race, and Jar Jar, and my infinite line of merchandised toys and videogames?! Out of my house! Now! Get out!!"
"This is not your house, George. This is a replica of an Ewok home on a tree on an island. And we can't get out until that boat arrives..."
"What?"
"*Sigh* until the IMPERIAL boat arrives..."

Just tell me what to do, and as soon as possible, I'll do it. I mean, I could do it quite quickly.

Oh, and, did you know that until recently, the names Dooku and Sifo-Dyas were translated as Dookan ans Zaifo-Vias in the portuguese speaking version of every material related to episode 2, because both names ressambled cuss words in that language (episode 2 was aired recently on TV, and the names were back to Dooku and Sifo-Dyas, so I'm guessing they changed their minds).

You mean, the "In the Flesh" tour? I don't like much of the solo works, I rather listen to the 67-77 period of the band.

Jeez, I'm reuniting two things I love here, Pink Floyd and Star Wars... Hey, how about suggesting GL to edit episode 3 in a way so that it would synch with dark side of the moon? Or putting Echoes (the song) as a soundtrack during lightsaber and space battles.
