I found this on the Official Site, re: the new DVDs and the scene in the Falcon with Luke's 'green' lightsaber. I cannot stop laughing! How f***ed up is this:

"Now my 2 cents worth on the green saber. Its green at the moment Obi feels the great disturbance as Alderaan is blown up, I believe this disturbance messed with the "force " crystals in Lukes saber and altered the color for a few seconds."

ROFLMAO what a crack up! This guy has no idea!! lol

This in and of itself is a disturbance in the force.

I'm sure Lucas has seen this post and already hired the guy to help him finish the third movie.

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!

Whenever I need a good laugh, I head on over to StarWars.com and check out how the knuckle-head Lucas Fanboys are explaining away the growing number of gaping plotholes.

My favorite is the new Emperor segment in ESB 3.0, where the explanations are flying as to why the Emperor and/or Vader haven't discovered Anakin Skywalker's son before now. The new scene makes absolutely no sense (and some of the fanboys readily admit this) but the explanations are quite hilarious.

The current front-runner is that Vader, the Emperor and maybe even Obi-Wan got a mind-wipe of some sort, and have no memory of any prequel event, and wouldn't even know the twins were born.... but of course the fanboy brain-trust forgets ALL about Darth and Obi-Wan's ""Now, I am the master"conversation" from Star Wars, Obi-Wan knowing Yoda, and many other scenes.

LOL, what a bunch of freaks.

Sounds like someone desperately grasping for straws to explain away the glaring error.

Yeah, I've laughed at the explanations given in the past about why Yoda and Obi-Wan (and the entire Jedi Order for that matter) don't simply kill Vader before or after he helps murder all the Jedi. I mean, if Yoda and Obi-Wan are supposed to be two of the greatest Jedi in the history of the Order, I would think the two of them should be able to handle 1 Sith in the 18 years between films. Or for that matter, train Luke when he is younger as opposed to waiting until he is 18, much older than the 'too old' Anakin. Sounds like they had a real good plan working there.

This has been explained in the past as 'not in their nature'. Of course, it hasn't stopped Obi-Wan from chopping Maul in half (out of anger **very un-Jedi**).

Another explanation is Obi-Wan's line 'there are alternatives to fighting'. Yeah, like what? Allowing the Galaxy to be controlled by the iron fist of Vader and the Emperor for 18 years while you wait for 'the chosen ones' guardians to get charred by Galactic Stormtroopers?

Here's another one, re: pre-SE and why Obi-Wan's lightsaber fizzed out as he retreats from Vader during the duel.

"I hope GL never change that scene, since I always argued with my friends that Kenobi allows himself to die rather than to fight on because he knew his sabre was damaged therefor too unpredictable to use in a fight."

The Force, that's the answer to everything!
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Yeah, the advent of the horrible prequels and the fact that Lucas just dove in headfirst, writing the new movies on the fly, has brought up a ton of gaping plotholes and inconsistencies that are just too much for a rational human being to accept. You can't connect the two trilogies, unless you want to go as insane as Lucas.

But what these ludicrous Prequels do allow, is for no-lifer, Lucas fanboys to spend their entire existence thinking up increasingly-bizarre explanations for why the Prequels make sense. The Prequels are absolute horse-shit, and any rational person understands this, but the Lucas fanboy takes it upon himself to serve his master, and dedicates his life to the preservation of the Prequel ideals.

It is really sad to watch such a waste of energy, and I don't think even the brain-addled Matrix Trilogy Fanboys are this far gone.

how do they explain the different storm trooper uniforms? are they going to invent a backstory about how the empire changed its standard issue uniform to signify the death of the senate?

The explanation is simple.

Action figure sales.
"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Goering.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." - Goebbels.

"In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." - Orwell.

the storm trooper thing is easy though. look how the military changes its uniforms almost constantly.

i'd like to know why the ships in the PT are better and just "cooler" than the ships in the "OT". was the PT supposed to take place in the 50's and the OT in the 70's? I guess that could explain it. the 50's had some cool looking cars. the 70's had.. well the pinto and the gremlin.

Hey one HUGE problem with this thread... you are leaving out the fan girls as well.


As for the OBi/Yoda vs. Vader thing... Vader was supposed to be the baddest man ever, so much so that OB1 and yoda couldnt take him...Too bad in the PT he isnt even close to it...

yeah. . .but who makes those uniform decisions? lets get real here.. .maybe in episode 3 we'll meet the empire's quartermaster. he'll be lobying the senate for new uniforms. they approve them just as episode 3 ends, and the empire spends the next years making the senate pay for it. WTF? hahahaha

hehe.. yeah.. of course they have a quarter master.

it really feels like i'm defending GL here.. and i don't mean to be. but look at the uniform changes in the american civil war. tons of them all over the place. but you dont' see quatermasters in any of the civil war movies... well.. except glory. nevermind.

Maybe the Fab 5 got a hold of the Clone Troopers uniforms and that's why the helmets changed, or maybe the troopers complained that they couldn't see through those tiny slits....

The simplest principle we teach our children is that lying is bad, because you always have to cover up one lie with another, and the whole problem eventually snowballs to the point where we forget which part is the lie and which is the truth. Do any of you think that this applies to GL and the SW movies?

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Thats an astute connection Gundark (ive been posting right after you a couple times today, weird).

I find this very amusing. I think that the uniform change doesnt hold a lot of water in terms of inconsitency - uniforms do change, and we are talking about ~18 years.
The ships, hmm. I think thats a matter of opinion. And if you consider the climate in the OT, the ships make sense to me. The Empire has huge warships, thats what they need. And variations on a theme for their small stuff (TIE). On the otherhand, you have the rebellion. What do you get when you dont have a lot of backing, and you are developing this stuff under the scrutiny and chase of a superpower: beat up looking starfighters. Personally I think that the OT ships look about a million times better than the PT. Ill take an A-Wing and Mon Calamari cruiser over any other two ships in the PT. Like I said though, this one seems more like an opinion matter.

This is a great thread, but where is Jimbo? I figure he'd at least post some retoric and such, in the fanboy defense.

Here's some actual good questions on SW.com, that were either ignored, or glossed over:

1) If Boba now talks with an Aussie accent, why don't any of the Storm Troopers, some of which at least, are his clones?

2) Why does the Emperor in ESB look much older and talk slower than he does in ROTJ?

3) But look at it from Luke's point of view. He's thinking, oh look there's Obi Wan on the right, and there's Yoda in the middle and, hang on, who the hell is that bloke on the left?

Don't get me wrong, a few of the more insane Lucas Fanboys gave it a shot, and some of their explanations for the "Hayden Ghost" defy all known forms of logic. Some of these people really need to move out of their parent's basement.

As for the Clone Trooper/StormTrooper suits, it could simply be going from wartime outfits to police action outfits. Who knows though.

And as for Anakin being the 'baddest', yeah but you have Yoda and Obi Wan, and then probably 9 years later you could have begun to train Luke, thus giving you 3 powerful Jedi vs. 1 Sith Warrior. It would have atleast saved the lives of the people of Alderaan.

Let's not ignore the fact that if Obi Wan can send a message to the Jedi counsel on Coruscant, then why can't Leia or Obi Wan merely transmit the plans for the Death Star to Bail Organa? That way, you don't have to have this grand space adventure.

I guess I always assumed that the Empire monitored transmissions. And while, in effect, this wouldnt prevent the transmission, it would reveal the location of the resistance (on both ends of the transmission). That seems pretty dangerous, especially considering the near functionality of the Death Star.

Just a thought.

That's what I assumed. The EU even alludes to intersteller communications being bad outside the Empire elite. So while the Emperor could talk to Vader one-on-one, any technology the rebels used would take days to months. The farther from the core, the worse as well. This is the reason Tatoonine, and so on celebrating at the end of Jedi makes no sense. The scene suggests that it's the same time. However, how can Tatooine know when Bakura, which is right next to Endor, didn't?
