'Why the SW prequels are better than the OT' - article inside

How dare anyone else have an opinion that isn't prequel bashing. Because it's a fact that the prequels are bad, not a subjective opinion. ;)

Exactly right. Glad to see you finally figured it out.

Chances are you don't even remember these words of Darth Maul: "Fear is my ally." One can well imagine that slogan scrawled across the office walls of men like Scooter Libby and tattooed across the back of Dick Cheney.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but didn't this line never actually make it into the movie? As I recall, it's a line from the trailer, right?

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

Just to be clearer, the OT.com policy is that you need to own legally the retail version from which the fanedit was sourced. So, to download ANH:R, you don't necessarily need to own the Blu-ray; owning the DVD version will do. However, once ESB:R is released, you will need to own the Blu-ray of ESB in order to download it (since it's Blu-ray sourced, unlike ANH:R in its current state).

The Movies You Would Like To See Made (Not SW)
Time

I'm a big fan of PC adventure games and would enjoy movies based on the following:

Monkey Island

Gabriel Knight

Grim Fandango

Full Throttle

King's Quest

Space Quest

and so on

+1. Gabriel Knight and Quest for Glory probably have the most potential, in my opinion. Full Throttle is so cinematic already, it would undoubtedly make a killer feature film. King's Quest would be pretty  hard to pull off, IMO, without departing from the source material significantly.

I would also like to see the following:

-A seven-film adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia that doesn't suck. (This would necessarily entail, among other things, actually sticking to the books.)

-A film adaptation of War of the Worlds that actually bears some semblance to the book. (Y'know, like maybe set it in the right time period? And use the same characters that were in the books? And the same storyline? Novel concept, I know.)

-An adaptation of The Door into Summer by Robert Heinlein. This was such an intriguing, thought-provoking novel...it's a shame it's never gotten a decent film treatment. (And don't go conforming the year 2000-era technology to real-world technology today. That would ruin it. Just stick to the book.)

-I know the thread title says "Not SW," but I can't help myself. I've always thought that the original Thrawn trilogy would make an excellent sequel trilogy (Ep. 7-9). Obviously, the original actors are all too old now. But with today's technology, I'm sure you could do an animated CG trilogy justice and use the original actors for the voices. (Think Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, but with CG technology that is over a decade more advanced.) Obviously, it goes without saying that this would have to be helmed by someone other than George. In fact, he can't be involved at all. He already gave us an all-CG Star Wars trilogy, and look how badly that turned out!

Here's a thought: what if you picked a character (could be Jango, could be someone else) to use a different voice each time he/she speaks?
Interesting idea but might be a tad confusing not to mention a hell of a lot of work for me.

If you don't like my idea, it's because you're dense! And a moron! Please read this brick wall of text explaining why!

Personally I suggest you stick just with self-reference.  Like you said, the choppiness was off-putting for some, so you don't want to make it excessive, and the same goes for the joke.  It's probably funniest just leaving it in reference to Obi-wan.  But please keep it for himself.

^This.

Also, I second greenpenguino's suggestion regarding elevator music.
