ROTS Extras: CGI TPM Yoda
Time
I haven't seen a CG holiday special yet. It could work, but I would have to see it first. Maybe he could digitally alter Mark Hamill or something. But, getting him to even release it on DVD in itself would be a miracle. Now Yoda, I've seen, and it was impressive, most impressive, so he has convinced me to want him in all of the movies like that.

I look forward to the 2008 presidential election. I'll be a year over the age to vote, and can vote for Hillary Clintom.


I'm sure most liberals find THAT choice lacking. Most sane ones, anyway.


And you think Condoleeza "Bush kiss-ass" Rice would do any better? Clinton may not be the best candidate in the U.S., but you must take the lesser of the two evils!

I say it becuase it REALLY bugs me that he doesn't want to do CG Yoda in the OT. I suppose I should call you a troll for the many, many times I'm sure you've said something along the lines of: "I want the OT on DVD!" or "The prequels suck," or "Lucas can't write scripts," or "I can't stand the special editions/2004 versions."

There, that might leave you with something to think about.

Watching in order 1-6 is screwing up the original SW for newcomers!

I have to say that I love the OT, hate the PT, and enjoy some of the EU, accepting some of it into my personal canon.

I saw a survey one time that asked which was the official version of a movie:
A) The Theatrical Cut
B) The Director's Cut
C) The Longest Version
D) Version I like the most

The result was an honest D. EU to me is like a buffet. I take what I like and leave the rest and I'm okay with that.

However, the PT has really ruined SW for me in a big way. It's like dating a really cool girl for a while and setting up a good history only to find out that she is a he. A little hard to go back and forget the new information, you know?

Darn you George Lucas, why did you have to be a woman!!!

Myself, I would choose B.

Wow, see what being away for 12 hours does to a guy? I've missed so much, and there are so many things I want to quote. But that would take too much time, so I'll just interject briefly.

AWK, I'm only a few years older than you, and I was only introduced to Star Wars in any form a few years before you were. I find it hard to believe that there should be that big of a Star Wars generational gap between. But sadly, I am forced to admit that it's true because everything got turned upside down between those four years.

But I do like the prequels. The Star Wars geek in me has to have them and has enjoyed watching them. I'm so pissed that I don't have ROTS yet because I'm a poor college student and can't afford it (been tempting, though). I simply don't feel they tell a story as well as the OT does, and it annoys me when their status is elevated to that of the OT, in terms of story. I'll never feel that the prequels are more than backstory. Of course they add depth to the story. That's what backstory's supposed to do, hence the term "back" or "behind". The problem is, as much depth as it adds, the more continuity holes and stupid moments they add as well. I just have to grin and bear it.

And I'm (or was) a fan of the EU. I just read EU before the prequels, so the EU solidifies even more strongly that Luke, Han, and Leia are the stars of the Star Wars. Don't see any Vader around there.

Well, anyway, that's all. Gotta go.


Though Vader did have a cool role in Splinter of thge Mind's Eye and Shadows of the Empire.
