That is definitely some cool swag. I like the one picture of the lifesize stuff that shows the view from out the window. Can you imagine being in one of those other buildings pulling a "Rear Window" and seeing all these lifesize characters in the window? I would be at a loss for words.

Heh heh. I like the CSI joke.

Reg, gee, I can't figure out why either. I'm so stumped on that one.

TV tends to translate to film better than film to TV. The only instance of film going to TV effectively, that I can think of, is M*A*S*H. Anybody else?

If they do it like the Dawn of the Dead set, it would be great.

By the way, what's TPTB?

Well, considering how the "long live" cheer is usually used for inanimate objects ("Vive le France" --> "Long live France") and the like, I don't see why it's a problem to use it on a dead man. Especially since I'm being more figurative than literal. I want his scenes in the movie to live on, not the man himself, dingbat.

I agree with LSD on that one. Smith is a master of developing characters. Sometimes he does it better than other times. I won't say that Mallrats has the best character development, but he did a great job of it in Dogma, Amy, and Clerks.

I also agree that I think this would tank bad. I'm giving it a chance when it does come out. But I don't see how they can make it last.

W40, I was just looking her up on IMDb to find out who she was and I loved one of the comments they had in her bio...

Jay, you haven't picked up any of the bootleg O-OT sets offered here? I'm surprised you wouldn't do that to get "your fix".

I've got 3 of those original Anakins and one of the ghost Anakins that came out in the mid-90s. I'll be damned if he's gonna get them from me.

Yeah, they will. But they will likely only give you the lowest price they ever offered for the trilogy (opening week sale price). That's how most stores work. If you want some real cash, find someone who bought it at Walgreen's (US $69). Big rip off.

Amen brother! That's why I love my original VHS so much.

Not my username, but my title (the one that now reads "Jedi Spirit"). I think for about a month I was "Bantha Fodder". I just logged in one day after posting a joke about Jay and started replying to threads. Then, after about a half dozen posts, I noticed that my title was Bantha Fodder. All I could do was laugh. It was pretty good and started some pretty funny conversations as I recall.

I'm happy for you, m'man. I've been married 3 years (this October 13) and I couldn't be happier (except if she actually watched Star Wars with me). You're a lucky guy. Don't let go of her (or you might have a few hundred guys from this forum propositioning her within seconds).

Can you imagine what would happen to all of us if those mods were here? Yikes!

Ideally the Googlefied search engine included would be able to find what you are looking for with good accuracy. Alas, I'm still a neatfreak and just delete them anyway.

That's the one. It's cool, no question about it. But it doesn't quite have the aesthetic beauty of the Lamp. My wife still loves the tongue action on that one.

Ash, that is a damn fine recap of the scenes and changes. Not that I agree with you 100% on all of them, but your points are well argued and I can respect that (but I do agree on quite a few of them).

Consider yourself lucky, Wonton. My wife still has only seen ANH. At this point, I feel lucky just to have gotten her to watch that one, considering how adamantly she refuses to watch them.

That it is. But don't go thinking that Jay doesn't moderate. He prefers to let us work out our problems, but he will jump in if things get too far out of hand. He's locked out threads and banished one or two people in the past (just for cool off periods; they've been welcomed back later on). He's even changed my user title when I insulted him (I became "Bantha Fodder"). That last one was a joke, of course. I actually enjoyed my days as Bantha Fodder. I miss them.

Don't take that too seriously, Jay!
