Now I've got a question. Would those people who consider themselves to be the sort of person who wants nothing to do with spoilers/write ups/trailers/etc consider The Clone Wars Animated Series to fall in one of those categories and avoid watching that altogether as well? Or is that something that is watched as a part of the whole? What I mean is, if you're avoiding spoilers altogether, is the CW-AS considered a spoiler or something that you can watch even though it's not an official theatrical release?

A very astute observation Jimbo. At least someone's thinking.

Here are a few more funny SW toy reviews. I love all the photoshopped commentary by Admiral Ozzel...

Those would definitely seem like pretty reliable initials. What about Sansweet?

In the book, you mean? Cool. I've had the book for years (found it at a garage sale) but I never bothered to read it.

The Jabba meeting Han footage is original from the first cut of SW. They changed Jabba from an overweight Scotsman in animal pelts to the Jabba that we all know and love and added Boba Fett to the scene. Other than those two changes (and Han noticeably stepping on a tail that wouldn't have otherwise been there), the scene is original and part of the old screenplay. Whether it's reflected in the novelizations is something else altogether. Actually, I've got an original SW novelization by GL. I can check it.

What Ric is saying is that, originally, George wanted to have all the SW films done in 3-year increments. That means that the final film, be it 3 or 9 (depending on which trilogy he would have wrapped up with), would have been in 2001. He (and I) truly doubt that when he was casting an actor to play Emperor Palpatine, he was thinking ahead about how perfectly this person will age in 20 years to play a younger Palpatine when I finally come back from self-imposed SW exile to film another trilogy. However, if he, as you say, foresaw this happening, then that man better start playing the lotto or open his own Psychic Hotline.

Yeah! Both of you cut it out. Now go to your rooms and think about what you did.

Wait! Wait! I take that back. I remember the last time someone tried to send Motti to his room. Wasn't pretty. Stay out here. Just be civil. And remember that this is the baseball thread where we all chime in with...

Oh man, go get the tenth anniversary release of the film. This cover...
Highlander 10th Anniversary Edition

Something like 20 minutes spliced back in to the flow of the film. The most important piece of info that it adds to the film is how Rachel came to be with Connor back in WWII. This was how I was introduced to Highlander and I went back and watched the original video release and it pales in comparison to this version. It leaves so much unexplained.

I think what he was saying is "One Mark and Two Tens" which is referring to the types of TIEs in pursuit. One Mark being the TIE that Vader was flying and the Two Tens being the standard TIEs.

As for the answer to the trivia question... I have no clue.

I think it's a contractual obligation upon obtaining the rights to remake a film that it must dumb it down.

Well, the problem is that higher ed funding is being cut while overall populations are still expanding. So they have to be more selective about who they take. I know that here in the States, the requirements for ACT and SAT testing have gone through the roof.

Here are a couple of other questions to consider...

How fair is it that now students get to use a calculator on their college entrance exams and I couldn't?

How fair is it that you have the Web for research and I was stuck with only my shitty library (WWW was introduced the end of my freshman year in college)?

The storytelling and the acting were great. I just felt the movie should have been edited down by about a half hour. It was too long.
