"thats the way it was meant to be. listen to the commentaries on TPM."

Don't own the DVD (nor do I desire to). I saw TPM once in the cinema, that was enough times for me. Even if it was deliberate it still seemed very unnatural. After all the "real" queen didn't talk like that when she resumed her postition (as far as I can remember). But I would be interested to hear what the explanation was, I assume it is something to do with royal tradition or protocol?

As far as Jimbo goes... actually I thought he was getting better... oh well, rules is rules I guess.

yes royal traditions and such, and besides the queens "decoy" is not always a decoy, only at specific moments. the rest of the time its nat portman. even when its nat portman she doesnt move her head a lot nor does speak in different tones, because such is the role of a queen.

Hmm, jimbo is tentatively banned. We'll see how he does when his "break" is over. While I thought he got rude and mouthy with his opinions, I could say the same of others here, including me at times.

What "things" though? The release of the DVDs in September? The release of Ep3 in 2005? The idealized release of the Ultimate Edition in 2007? I dunno if it ever would cool down.

True about me, too, because unlike others, I do get angry when treated in a rude manner, even when it is by someone I don't know and don't care about. Guess I'll never make a good Jedi.

Owned them both (TPM and AotC), watched them twice (once in the cinemas, once on DVD), sold them after that. *lol*

Since I don't own the SE, I can't tell, but I have to admit I never noticed when watching my old tapes! It's either the tape quality or I was too occupied with the excitement of the moment everytime I was watching that scene!? I'll have to have a closer look next time!
