Holy shast. These new changes have to be a joke, right? RIGHT?!
When I saw that R2 pic I was quite literally speechless, capable only of inarticulate sputtering for an entire minute. How the hell did he even get in there in the first place??? Gaffer's theory of using those o-so-fanciful rocket boosters (gee, wouldn't those have been helpful when he fell into the Dagobah swamp in ESB?) and coming down from above is the only explanation, and that makes me ill just thinking about it.
The not-at-all-childhood-DNA-ruining Krayt Dragon revision made me burst out laughing so hard I thought I'd gone insane. What a bunch of crackpot tomfoolery . . . I mean good grief, even the piece of crap sound from the 2004 version was better than that! In fact, I now pine for the 2004 version because at least it didn't have this utter bollocks in there! Vader's big exclamation when he turns on the Emperor: likewise one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
I think it's safe to say that we've at last without a doubt reached the point where Star Wars has ceased to be anything special or meaningful, and has instead become a complete joke. A pathetic excuse for a has-been director to try to stay 'relevant' because he has nothing new to say and can only revamp his old work over and over again, obsessed with thinking it wasn't good enough and needs to be constantly remade for no real reason. Had he never felt the need to revise the movies, he would have gone into history as the creator of one of the most universally beloved film series of all time, but now he just looks like a fool out of touch with reality. And as for Matthew Wood . . . well, my opinion of that guy cannot remotely be expressed with language acceptable for use in civilised conversation, so I'll just sum it up with, "Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?"
