There's been more than one previous film version? I only knew about the Englund slasher version.

In the U.S., it's in late November. Can't speak for the rest of the world that celebrates it. Actually, I didn't think anywhere else celebrated it, so to hear Luke talk about it caught me offguard.

If what you're saying is, the 2004 DVDs are the home version of what was released at the theaters than I have no problem with them. I'm not adverse to change. I like seeing deleted footage put back in movies so long as it is footage that was created during the original filming process of the movie. For example, putting the Spider Walk back in The Exorcist made that movie infinitely creepier to me and I love it. But that was a scene Friedkin originally filmed but cut it out for whatever reason. The SE of The Abyss with the added 20 minutes or the Director's Cut of Dances With Wolves with the additional 45 minutes - 1 hour of footage are far superior to the theatrical releases. But in both instances, again, they are replacing original footage to the flow of the movie. If Lucas were to release a version of Star Wars with originally cut footage reinserted (all the Biggs scenes and others), I would have no problem with it. I've seen the Biggs scenes and like them.

But also note that in all these instances, a theatrical version of the film is also available on DVD. The Abyss set has both versions, Dances With Wolves was originally available in another 3 hour DVD cut, The Version You've Never Seen of The Exorcist is the second DVD release of the film. But Star Wars is ONLY available in the Super SE version.

That and I hate the changes as I've seen them online and elsewhere. Han Shoots First DAMMIT!

Rogue, we've stated several times that we don't have a problem with him retooling his films. They are his to retool (I don't believe "finish" is the correct term because you do not release an "unfinished" film in theaters) and I honor that right. However, we being his fans, have the right to possess copies of what we recognize as the "finished" versions, the versions we saw in theaters in '77, '80, and '83 and kept watching over and over on TV and VHS until 1997. Play with them to your heart's content, Georgie; but just give us what we have become accustomed to as the complete versions. Whether you like it or not, these "incomplete" versions have become a big part of the public consciousness and I feel they should be available. As do many others.

Everyone has to have passions. Mine happens to be movies. Why not tell motorcycle enthusiasts that they're wasting their lives? Model train builders? Book fans? Etc. Etc. Ad infinitum.

Our passion just happens to be Star Wars. Yeah, we've spent money on it. We've collected the toys, read the books, watched the movies, talked about it with friends, debated it, and frequent websites about it. The same goes with anyone with passions. I don't feel like I've wasted my life. My wife might tease me for being obsessed with it, but c'est la vie. There might be some people who need to get a life because they take it too far and, as I said in my first post, you just have to control your level of obsession. I can't speak for all Star Wars and scifi fans, but I know I don't go overboard.

I think you can stream games live through NFL.com, but I may be wrong. Might require a paid subscription. There's also the NFL Sunday Ticket from one of those dish subscription services if you have the right service.

Well, my opinion is that if anyone is actually on this forum enough hours of the day that their personal life suffers, then, yes, they need a life. However, I don't see that happening. I'm the top poster around here and posting on this site has far from screwed up my personal life (it was pretty screwed up before this site existed, so don't worry). Debating and having an opinion is a healthy thing, even if it is a sci fi movie series. I have found that many people I have talked to about this subject are actually happy to know that there is someone who knows what is going on and can help them understand. I don't go espousing this stuff like some televangelist, but if someone shows interest, I'll talk to them. It's just like any other topic. You have to be selective about who you talk to and what you say? Would you try to impress a girl on a first date by talking about baseball stats? Not likely. Same goes with this. Just don't let it control your life and you're fine.

As for the people that are spending so much time on re-editing the films and creating new DVDs... I can't say how their love of the films affects their life. But I won't hold it against them because they are the ones that I rely on to get my fix. God bless 'em.

I'm a PS2 gamer, not a PC. So I haven't been playing ANY Star Wars games since the mid 90s with X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter (the last PC game I've played). None of the games that have come out so far on PS2 have interested me. So, for me, this is the first Hoth battle game. Had I known that all these other games had the opportunity to battle in Hoth, I may have checked them out. But none of them made it clear enough for me (this one shows it right there in the commercial; can't get much clearer than that). Besides, I think with Battlefront, you can go directly to where you want to fight instead of having to go through levels to get there. Or, perhaps I'm mistaken. As I said, I haven't picked it up yet.

I'm a very amateur gamer. I know nothing about it and have never played any multiplayer games over the net on my computer. Never been much for computer gaming simply because it takes too much time and I don't like to sit on a computer at home when I've been on a computer for 9 hours a day at work. I don't even turn on computers at night or on weekends unless I absolutely have to. Just how I am.
