Maybe we should write this book.
“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

I bet he would cover his ears, and scream "I can't hear you na na na na!!" until you gave up.


Dude....I WAS going to ask him at Celebration 3. I was 2 people away from asking it when they sent us all back to our seats. I was absolutely stoked. I had the whole thing pretty much mapped out in my head. No way was I going to give him an out. I was going to cover the artist's rights thing, his original vision, EVERYTHING. I was out to corner the bastard and make him squirm!!!

Also, they had some girls at the front of the line that I think were fielding questions. So, I came up with a whole bullshit question to tell them (I came up with something about Indiana Jones) and then when I would have stepped up to the mike....I was going to ask the forbidden question.

That reminds me of a scene in "Roger and Me", in which Michael Moore is about to make a question to Roger, and he suddenly says the questions are over, and ignores him yelling "wait, i have a question".

I had a terrible thought:

The O-OT will come to DVD 2 years after everyone migrates to HD-DVD (or whatever). Then everyone will have to start complaining that it isn't on next gen DVD and we'll be right back where we started.

Anyways, someone mentioned T2 and other movies where multiple versions have been released on DVD... The irony to me is that I think most people like Extended/Director's cuts and view them as superior versions of the films when they're given a choice. (not everyone of course, but most in my understanding) Take Lord of the Rings for example... You don't see a lot of websites devoted to watching the original Theatrical Versions. Both versions are out, people are given a choice, and I think a majority choose the Extended Editions. Maybe it has something to do with the EE being better... (instead of O-OT > SE-OT) But I digress...

Rewrite the Prequels!

it is true that many prefer that the extended edition of T2 and other films. The point is, they have THE CHOICE of which version they wish to watch. Due Lucas's stubbornness/arrogance/stupidity, the same can not be said for the OT.

That was the point I was trying to get across incase it wasn't clear. The fact that there's a choice with other films.
The harder George tries to make us forget the O-OT, the more we make a point of remembering them.

or

"The more he tightens his grip, the more star systems will slip through his fingers." if you prefer.
