(and Adam if you accuse me of lying, I will start to post links or something)

I am not banned from TF.N. I currently post there. And I certainly am not a troll. Now, I'm not accusing you of lying, I'm saying that I don't troll now. And I don't troll at the OS either. I don't even post there often. The only section of TF.N I even pay attention to is the "Small Screen Star Wars" section.

You need to read my lips, Adam...

Now you're just ripping off old Daddy Bush's catch phrase!

I wouldn't have as big a problem with this statement if you didn't say "In fact." If someone prefers the directors cut, great. If someone prefers the theatrical cut, great. Don't tell me what is blasphemy. If it's your opinion that it's blasphemy, fine. Say so. But don't call it fact. That's blasphemy.

I changed my post to read "in my opinion" instead. Sorry.

I've (obviously) seen all the movies. I've also got Troops, both Ewok movies and some other things on DVD (Star Wars to Jedi, Star Wars to Star Wars, Nova: The Magic of Special Effects, George Lucas in Love, etc.).

I've read 27 of the novels (all are pre-NJO). I own a bunch as well. Bless the creators of Half-Price Books.

I own a bunch of the "Essential Guides."

I love Curtis Saxton's Star Wars Technical Commentaries.

Cool. It looks similar to my collection.

But, anyway, here's my ultimate Star Wars box set:

TPM (Lucas definitive edition)
AOTC (Lucas definitive edition)
ROTS (Lucas definitive edition)
ANH (Lucas definitive edition)
ESB (Lucas definitive edition)
ROTJ (Lucas definitive edition)
The Star Wars Holiday Special (digitally remastered)
Caravan of Courage (digitally remastered
The Battle for Endor (digitally remastered)
Droids complete series (not edited)
Ewoks complete series (not edited)
Clone Wars complete series (not edited together)
Return of the Ewok (not edited)

Yes. Yes kev, I do. The original was NOT what the director wanted. And in this situation, Ridley Scott is NOT Lucas. In this case, the studio took the film from Scott and edited it the way THEY wanted, rather than how he, the artist wanted it. They tried to dumb down the movie by giving it a happy ending, and remove scenes that make the audience think. They removed a scene that hinted that Deckard may be a replicant (aka "The Unicorn Scene"). kev, prefering the directors cut is NOT blasphemy. In my opinion, it's the other way around.

...I can say without hesitation, the prequels lack all the essential qualities the OT had, other than effects/technology, they just don't have the quality depth of story, enjoyable characters or imaginative dialogue including humor. It all just comes off as forced creativeness.

Lucas is a great storyteller, but I think since and partially during ROTJ he's lost touch with alot of essential qualities, which made his other films so classic.

Are you not comparing the PT with the OT there?

That may be the case. Maybe there's something obvious that we're all missing.

Yeah, that Luke can't remember his mother and Leia can!

That's it.

End of!

Yeah, that actually is a good way of explaining it.

I'd like to see them retcon the Droids series now!

They already have! The New Essential Guide to Characters explains that the Droids were lost from the Tantive IV for a few years, until Captain Antilles was able to locate them again. No joke.

Yes, the holiday special (which I have sadly never seen, btw) showed them in their home surrounded by computers, etc, but seeing as Lucas has basically eradicated that from Star Wars history, I think it would have been ok to show the Wookies as primitive in ROTJ (and would have made a better movie).

Actually, Lucasfilm considers the holiday special official canon.

Yeah, that's what I meant by VERY basic.

His 94' scripts were where most of the PT story was created, based on those notes from 73'.

I aged from 10 to 16 over the course of the release of the prequels, and I greatly enjoyed the 3 year waits, and all of the internet rumors, and message boards. And of course, actually watching and enjoying them.

Right. I consider those pics of her in that post a loophole to the standards of this thread, since she looks, um, well, close to a child there.

He wrote the VERY basic storyline in 1973. He officially began working on the scripts, however, on November 1, 1994.
