You're funny.

So is george carlin, too bad i found out about him not even half a year after he died...... I hate finding out about somebody just a little bit too late!!!!!!

Yeah, imagine all the fun you two could have had together....

I mean, he died in the summer of 2008, the year that my first bird died, and then, after the summer was over and I started a new part and chapter of my life again and I met a whole lotta new friends, I met somebody who was reading some book (it was a book about natural disasters or deadly situations in the wild or something like that), and I started reading that book.......

After I started reading that book, I remember one day reading that book, which I got several months after george carlin/my first bird died, and then i went into the car waiting for somebody and I read a george carlin book from the library. A few months later I realized that he had died about almost a year before, and I was like, wow, that's is just plain awkward and creepy!!!!!!

A year later, Michael Jackson died.........

I wish that I could go back in time and relive the good ol days when dead famous people were still alive, just for once....

I was alive when George Carlin died, and I was into neoseeker forums then, just about a half a year before he died....

I know this is not a place to advertise, but I have a collection of 19 mint-condition Darth Back live-action figures with accessories and sets for sale at a reasonable price. If anyone is interested, please, PM me.

Damn, i wanted one of those so bad when i was a kid. I'd heard about them but never saw one for ages. I was able to get one of the original un-produced Darth Back soap sets. I just loved the tag line on the boxes; " Wash your back with Back". I can't believe that i managed to get this thing in its original condition for just over £1 at a car boot sale. I've seen these things going for hundreds on ebay now.

If Luke Skywalker turned to darkside of the Force, his Sith Lord Title would be Darth Sister-Kisser!!!!!

You mean except for those loyal fans that supported him since 1977 and gave him his Empire through ticket and merchandising sales, only to get shafted with the suppression of the Original versions that they love.

Actually, that tagline is a work of genius. Made my day. I mean - to read it again after all those years.

The second draft shortened it to just, "The Empire Strikes Back," which is saying the same thing. But then Lucas felt that the boxing idea was too real-world, so he changed it to a lightsaber match instead. Gary Kurtz suggested it would be better if he fought Luke instead of Darth Back, so that's where the climactic saber duel originated from. Darth Back was eventually cut down to a side character, and they even made prototype action figures of him, but his few scenes were all cut out. There have been bootleg prototype toys on eBay from time to time but none are authentic.

Sir Mix-a-Lot did the theme.

As much as I'm open to other mindsets and viewpoints, and as much as I'm totally cool with all the prequel/special editions fans we have here providing their input and opinions, ans as much as I'm trying to be helpful and provide all the Star Wars knowledge I have in order to maybe answer some questions and explain any misunderstandings, this is grating on even me.

I dunno if I'm co-signing this, but holy shit my brain hurts in half these threads now.

That would be like if Santa gave you the best present of all time, then a few years later shat on it, gave it back to you, and refused to clean it up.

I think Patton Oswalt's "Rocksalt" bit applies.

Nice comedy and humor and sarcasm attempt, I appreciate and understand your witiness, and I understand what U R trying to say, but I can't disagree with you any more than i disagree with you now. The prequels kicked serious ass, i mean, seriosuly......

I actually do want more remastered and special editions. I want one where you edit out hayden christensen's force ghost, and NOT replace it with Sebastian Shaw, but either wait another 20 years or so when Hay Chris becomes a middle aged (mid-late forties), man, the same age that anakin skywalker would have looked if he hadn't been burned and turned to a crispy bald headed white skinned egg face.....

AND/OR actually film him smiling, instead of just copying and pasting a picture of him into that scene with that creepy face, make him film himself smile.......

Comprise solutions rule!!!!!

I mean, Sebastian Shaw, well, I like to be very accurate and precise. If, this guy, right here......

Aged about 20-something years or so, I highly doubt that he would look like this......

I do agree with Sebastian Shaw supporters that Anakin skywalker's ghost looked way too young, though. So have him look something like a middle aged Hayden Christensen would be, not only does it make his ghost look the same age that he died at, but it is very consistent to the storyline......

As long as they re-release the unaltered, theatrical trilogy so I can watch it, they can put ol' sexy long-haired Hayden Christensen in every scene for all I care.

No, not in every scene. Just in relevant parts. Like, for instance, edit out sebastian shaw's voice during the scene where luke unmasks his dying father anakin skywalker, and replace it with hayden christensen's voice, like make hayden christensen talk in a very low, weak, monotone voice like anakin did in ROTJ......

Now, that would be sexy. I would watch that with my shirt off.
