This guy is embarassed to release the originals respectively and the holiday special because he finds them to be inferior works yet doesn't realize that the special edition changes and the prequels are even worse works. He is embarassed about the continuaty errors that the OOT and the SE still hold yet doesn't mind showing that C-3P0 lived with the Lars for many years and yet didn't recognize him in the OOT or the SE for that matter. He didn't mind the banal dialog and story telling in the prequels but cares about changing things that was ecompletely unnecessary in the OOT and ruined it like the new dialog between the Emperor and Vader in ESB and many others! I could go on and on about this but you guys get my jist. Please add more thoughts on this.

I think you should be charged with animal cruelty.

More specifically, beating a dead horse.

I have to agree with all of the above sentiments on our new friend, BadAssKeith.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

Wasn't BW friends with Adamwan?

As for Lucas being stupid? Well...I guess that I must disagree to an extent. He's stubborn. It's difficult to be a fan of Star Wars at the moment, and Lucas can certainly be many things, but he transformed 7 hours of film into a multi-billion dollar franchise, so he must be pretty smart.

BadAssKeith, if you hate the prequels and the SE's sooooo much then why do you keep talking about them? Let's choose a movie I hate... Ah I know! The Texas Chain Saw Masscre 2. The original is a classic, but number 2 sucks. Yet if I was going to talk about the great film that is the Texas Chain Saw Masscre... you wouldn't hear me whinging and whining about how crummy the sequals and remake are, because frankly it is - after all - just a movie. Lots of movies have shit sequels. Terminator 3, Haloween Part #, Jurassic Park 3, Home Alone 3/4 (well I've not seen "4" but I'm sure it sucks), Lethal Weapon 2, 3, 4... Alien Ressurection, Robocop 3. You don't have to whine about all the shitty sequels and versions in the world. Shitty director's cuts/special editions include: Apocolypse Now Redux, Lord of the Rings Extended (no way would I watch those!), T2: Special Edition, The Outsiders: The Complete Novel... I could go on, and on, and on. Some special editions/directors cuts are wothwile - it's a fact that most of them suck.

2nd verse same as the first!
"Among many things I have to be thankful for are you, the fans. I know that some of you haven't liked every single thing that I've done with the saga, and that you have a strong sense of ownership over all things Star Wars. But take that passion and devotion and channel it into a creative project of your own."
-George Lucas

I liked the Lord of the Rings extended. Also, out of all the things BadAssKeith could've ranted about he mentions 3PO not recognizing Lars but that is actually one of the things Lucas did explain. His memory was wiped at the end of ep3.

Well, how about Owen not recognizing C-3PO? Yeah, yeah, he's just a worthless droid with a prissy accent. No way a dude would remember spending ten years with that annoying heap!

There is no lingerie in space…

C3PX said: Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don’t exist… then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks… and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I haven't been around here long enough to be tired of such things, but in a forum dedicated to the original Star Wars trilogy, I would respectfully suggest that tolerance be extended for expression of sentiment hostile to the denegration of the original trilogy via special editions, special special editions, substandard prequels, and disrespectful home video releases.

These topics are going to come up time and time again, as long as this forum exists - and I would hope that fate could be resigned to with dignity and acceptance.


I may not agree with the way BadAssKeith expresses himself, but I do agree with many of the things he has to say. I realize it's probably all been said before, and likely with more tact and civility.

But there's something to be said for straightforwardness. Because if discussing George's stupidity is beating a dead horse, that doesn't change my belief that Mr. Lucas is that dead horse's ass.

The answer to that one is simple. Owen got heat stroke too often from living under two suns and some of his brain got baked. That or some kind of Outer Rim ale killed a few brain cells due to Baru not putting out.

And I'm sure many people like The Outsiders: The Complete Novel. I happen to think the theatrical cut is better overall. I have a good friend who likes the LOTR extended versions... as I said for me the movies are too long. The Terminator runs about 1hr 47 minutes - in contrast to T2 at 137 minutes - half an hour more - and I think T1 has much better pacing then T2. The director's cut of T2 should take out 15 minutes, not add 15 more minutes to it! I don't mind some longer movies, like dramas/thrillers/war/mob movies such as God Fellas... which is 145 mins or so... or The Godfather Films which push the 3hr barrier... or saving private ryan... but for an action movie that would be way too long. LOTR are fantasy/action movies.... anything longer then 2hrs screen time is pushing it. The Butterfly Effect's Director's Cut is better then the theatrical version, for instance - but I stand by what I said before - why whine about all the sequels/remakes and cuts of movies you hate when you can talk about the movie that you enjoy instead? That's just stupid.

BadAssKeith, you sound like many of us old schoolers. Don't let thse guys hating on you get you down. Your heart is in the right place, and you brought it to the right place.

I'd like to retract my previous statement about C-3PO because I read the original post incorrectly. My bad.

Yes, I agree with the points made here but I also agree that we are just running in circles here.

There are many droids of the same type as C-3PO in the SW Universe - why would Owen think it would be the same one, after all that time?

Notice he never asks, nor hears, C-3PO's number in ANH. And he's brass in ANH while he's a corroded grey in AOTC. It actually works.

Indeed. There is at least one other unit the same as C-3PO on the blockade runner at the start of ANH, he meets another on Cloud City in ESB - I think the conclusion must be that these are not rare units.

What is to be lamented is not that Owen did not recognise C-3PO but that we are asked to accept that Anakin built him in the first place. I feel that this was a lazy introduction for such an iconic character.

I feel it would be much more interesting to have C-3PO and R2-D2 together from the start and have the suggestion that they are, in fact, much older than any of the principle characters (with the notable exceptions of Yoda and The All-Powerful Sarlacc), as, indeed, machines can be. Keeping them as our guides through the saga would work much better, don't you think?

George Lucas, you're a fraud. Everything that made the Original Trilogy great was other people’s incentive. You're a talentless hack. You constantly contradict your pathetic excuses for why your prequels suck, changes to your gay special editions, and why you won't release the unraped originals respectively. I have more than enough evidence to sue your fat ass for everything you got and win. Why don’t you just admit you’re a selfish, greedy, coward? I’ll see you in court: Lucass.


If you are so confident you can sue him and win, why don't you stop hanging around here and adding more "Hate Lucas" "Lucas is Stupid" threads to our already painfully infinite supply of them and go out and sue him. I suppose you are probably somewhere around the age of thirteen and have a very weak grasp on reality, but I could be wrong. If you are over thriteen and have the ability to sue Mr. Lucas then go and do it, but please leave OT.com out of your silly little crusade, we have no wish to be associated with the embarassment you will be. Fortunatly no lawyer in the world would do anything but laugh at you, so you would have to be representing yourself, which could actually make some pretty funny news, "Teenager Attempts to Sue Mass Millionaire George Lucas."

[sarcasm]Well, It'd at least get the OOT issue back into the public eye[sarcasm]. If BAK does sue, let me know. It'd be...interesting.

What's done is done, I suppose. Lucas just doesn't seem to think so. I want to understand how the man's mind works, I really do, but he doesn't seem to be using any method of thinking that I can recognize. Oh, and Blackmage, your sig is one of the most horrifying things that I have ever seen in my entire life.
