Wal-Mart gets Star Wars bonus disc for ROTS

Sounds cool. Definately a good bonus on the ep3 dvd. Makes buying it even more worthwhile. It's neat how walmart always has those exclusive things with all their products... just to get you to buy from their store instead of others. Their master, Lucas has taught them well. Sadly, I will fall for their marketing strategy and buy my copy from there. I added the info on it over at wikipedia's site for ROTS. See here. It looks to me as if it says "30 minute," by the way, so I added it there. Thrity minutes would make sense.

Anakin: Old man Palps, I don't know how to say this, but can we just be friends?
Palps: But, Anakin, how can you say this, why, you're my bitch!
Anakin:I'm seeing someone else.
Palps:Who is he?
Anakin: It's a her
Palps: Eww! I didn't know you're into that kind of stuff!
Anakin: It's Padme
Palps: Why that whore! I'm going to construct an elaborate plan to turn you to the dark side so that you'll leave that slut, and I'll be able to kill her, and convince you that you killed her, so that you'll feel regret and turn to me, and then you'll be my bitch again! Why, we might even bring Tarkin in on our little games!

Yeah, we could give it the old ocpmovie treatment! I have actually considered it, as it was a unique piece of star wars history. If I did, I would have to do the same with the vector prime trailer. Who's interested?

I was about to say the same thing, although this trailer is pretty useless all around anyway.


I would like to do the project, though, and, it looks like this is all we would really have to work with other than the DVD footage. I don't know, I do have a bad habit of having great ideas for these projects, and never following through with them! BTW, if you've seen some of the commercials ocpmovie put on his return of the ewok disc, you've seen that the quality of this isn't that much different that most adverts.

I've never thought about that before. Perhaps there would have been some benefit in letting GL remake the OT. The only thing is, I bet he'd still refuse to release the OOT in favour of the 'New Original Trilogy'.


Don't ever, ever let Lucas hear you say that!! Don't you see what he would do!! I shudder when I think about it. If he remade the OT, there is quite a huge possibility that he would claim that it was his "original vision" of the OT and refuse to accept the current movies as the OT, and never release the original versions again!!!!!

Which did you prefer, the SE or the 2004 DVD edition?

2004 DVDs ... but if I had the choice, I'd choose the O-OT

pro 2004 Edition:
-for whatever you might say about Lucas' irrational devotion to SFX and image quality, you have to admit, they look pretty amazing (clarity, color accuracy, etc.)
-better Jabba (why they couldn't get him to the quality of his PM counterpart I can't figure ...) and other CG characters
-Ian McDiarmid in ESB
-Updated ROTJ ending celebrations
-Han is getting closer to shooting first again LOL

things I didn't care for:
-Anakin's ghost - that's fairly unforgivable IMHO
-green lightsaber in ANH? How did this happen? and lightsaber inconsistencies in other scenes ...

Other than that, the changes seemed pretty minor. Honestly, I don't see how refusing to release the O-OT gets Lucas more money. I think it's a case of an "artist" being too interested in pleasing himself to accept outside input. That can be seen as a good or bad thing ... personally, I wish I could have a nice transfer of the films as they originally were. LOL, but somehow, I don't think that's an original thought on these boards.



This is like asking a Christian which one he likes better: the Devil, or Satan?!


LMAO!!! But, you've gotta admit, at least Lucas met us halfway and made Greedo and Han shoot at about the same time.

No, there isn't a 12 download limit. It's just that if you don't have a premium account, you can only download one thing per hour, for some reason. Just try it again later. On rapidshare there isn't a limit, they keep it there forever unless its not downloaded for a 30 day period. Now, yousendit.com does ave a download limit.

Cool trailer. The quality isnt the greatest and the audio is quite fuzzy but its still watchable if you want to.


On to Ell the Ewok's remarks. Yeah, the quality's not the greatest, but given the fact that it is virtually impossible to find for the most part, I'll take what I get. Would have been nice to have a better one, and you would think the time being 96' that the recording would be better, but sadly it wasn't. I might expect that quality for the most holiday special copies to be of that quality, or those old Kenner commercials, with those old 78' VCR's, but not a 96' recording.

Once, when I was like 8 and lived in North Carolina (I live in PA now, thank God), this guy preached a sermon on how wearing casual clothes to church was unholy and that you shouldn't go to church if you don't dress up.

This whole Jedi to Jesus thing is nothing. I've seen much worse My parents want me to use my "talents" for the church. There is this class called "Media for Ministry" that they are urging my to do. I think I'll pass.

Really, I am not much of a Christian. Maybe, it is because my parents shove it down my throat, and quote the whole Bible to me when I get in trouble.

I cannot remember a day that they haven't quoted me a Bible verse or gave me a "sermon" on whatever.

I'm not an "anti-christ", but my parents just shove stuff down my throat and I don't want to be like them which is probably I am not very religious myself.


Some of those ministers are just plain nuts. Many of those guys, especially southern ones, don't even know the true meaning of having a religion. They care more about how everyone looks, and watching out for everyone, that they forget what the whole purpose of any religion is. Myself, I'm an agnostic, I don't deny nor acknowledge the existance of a god. I still respect religion, however. I'm no Bill Maher, who bashes religion yet I'm no Bill O'Reilly who would have it forced down people's throats if he could. But when people like those ministers act the way they do, well, they just give Christianity a bad name. When someone is honest and sincere about their religion, that is someone I can repect. Take someone like Joel Osteen, that enthusiastic TV pastor from Houston. He tells people how to improve their life, and all of the great things about life, rather than telling everyone that they will burn in hell for everything they do. He is someone I can certainly respect, because he knowns the true purpose of his religion.

Many of those southerners are hypocrites and ignorant. Not stupid, just ignorant. I too grew up in a conservative christian household. But, I was able to somehow make my own decisions about what I believe, rather than what my relatives, or the people I know believe. The puritans who made this DVD are probably some of those people who bash star wars simply because it (gasp) makes people think, or (double gasp) makes a mention of a different religion.

If I was Anakin, I would have went after Yoda first. He would have pissed me off most.

If I were a character in the GFFA, I would either be a Dark Jedi (as in a vigilante-type) or a bounty hunter. The jedi and the sith and too narrow minded and strict for my tastes. If I were Anakin, I would learn the force, and use it merely "as a tool," as the guy in Broken Allegiance says it is. The bounty hunter in that fan film just learned how to use the force, and used it as he saw fit. Now that's a force user!
