The reason I did this was because over the years I've heard many horror stories about this forum and people getting verbally assaulted and ultimately banned for expressing their opinions on the original trilogy.

...

 

Double standard

Name one person who has been assaulted or banned for expressing their opinions here? We have plenty here who love the PT and even enjoy the SE, they are more than welcome and we respect their opinions. You won't find banned members or deleted threads just because someone said they think TPM is a superior film to SW. That is hardly a double standard. Let's not bullshit ourselves too hard while trying to defend TF.n, okay? Overzealous bullshitting of yourself has been clinically proven to cause severe brain damage. 

And are you sure about your sig? I am pretty sure TV's Frink didn't say any of that.

The problem with the Adywan's cut is that it is tailored to satisfy the fans (not all fans of course) and ignores Lucas' vision to some extent. For example, Han shooting first, this is the classic fans versus Lucas issue. Forr example, Adywan's edit sets forth the fan position of Han shooting first, ignoring Lucas' take that Han Solo was not a mercenary. I agree that 2004 DVD scene looks odd and out of place and the original scene flows much better. However a true "fix" in a future edition should not be replacing the old scene but to completely redo the scene, remove the weird frame jump, etc., so that Lucas' vision is fulfilled.

who knows what is Adywan's take on TPM, in his edit he might just give the fans exactly what they want and completely remove Jar Jar, ignoring Lucas intent for Jar Jar beyond the comedic aspects of the character.

lol C3, both things are jokes.

Although I'm slightly concerned about the sig.

To wit:

Also, re-read the OP in this thread.

I thought gp's post was a direct (joke) response to the previous post from Quackula, but now that you mention it, the double standard has me confused too.

I put the words double standard there because it's one of the most repeated things over there. And they usually use it the wrong way and for no reason. It isn't a reference to anyone over here.

Ah, got it. I thought your post was a joke, until I read the double standard thing, and that threw me. Glad I wasn't the only one thrown by it. ;)

After the "Well, don't beat yourself up about it" comment regarding Ziggy's movie review, I am pretty sure greenpenguino is my new favorite poster of all time.

^I get a five cent royalty check.

I think we need to have a discussion about what that means.

Well, Gaffer Tape... it looks like he left both of us at once.  Do you want to get dinner?  Maybe a little splitscreening afterward?

Pics or it didn't--

Dear god, what am I saying?

That's an OT.com horror story I don't want any part of.

Do you guys think it's worth asking why I was banned? Just to see what the last straw was? I think I'll do it and post their reply.

(I can't get in any sort of trouble for that can I?)

Trouble with whom?
