Is han solo the best star wars character in the world.
Time
Solo was my fave as a kid and into my early teens. But then I started to understand the philosophy of SW and the wisdom of the Force (instead of it merely being a self defense method which was how I viewed it as a child) and, therefore, Obi Wan became my favorite.

Of course, I also have more than just a minor liking for the bounty hunters and I love Biker Scouts.

Usually, when someone gets as caught up in their work as I would assume Peter Jackson did, they forget about eating and tend to lose weight. I think he put more on. And yes, he as well as his cowriter, coproducer need severe makeovers. Throw Peter to the Queer Eye wolfpack and his cowriter with the big flower-emblazoned hair on What Not To Wear. At the very least, Jackson could've buttoned the top button of his shirt.

LOL. Nothing like a little blind faith, eh?

I'm not a member of the pay or non-pay sites. But I get the information I need.

I agree with you on KCH, Gundark. She was incredible and I would expect great things from her if she wasn't going to be in Ep3 next. Hopefully, her role will be brief so Lucas isn't given too much opportunity to squash her talent like he did to Portman, McGregor, and Christenson.

Tell me if you agree, but did her makeup artist and hairstylist make her look like a younger (and slightly more olive skinned) Rachel Weisz for the Oscar awards show?

I agree that The Simpsons does overplay the same thing. But, in their case, I can handle it because at least they have several dozen characters on which they can play the plot off of. Raymond has five. No, wait, Robert's married now, isn't he? Six. Oooh that helps them.

Oscars 2004
Time
I agree with you 100% Warbler. ROTK was nominated, not the series. As a movie of its own merit, it did not deserve the 11 Oscars. Especially not Best Picture. It was the worst of the three movies. They should have created a special Oscar to recognize Jackson for his cumulative efforts like they did to recognize Lucas for his contributions to special effects back in 1977/78 when they didn't have a Visual Effects category. The Academy screwed the pooch something fierce this year.

Many of the awards that it won were deserved, but not Best Picture. BP for ROTK? I don't think so. It was, IMHO, the worst of the three. Not to say it was a bad movie, because it wasn't. But to say that it was better than FOTR and TTT is blasphemy. TTT is my fave as of right now.

The problem is that everyone who voted was voting based on the trilogy. However, every single nomination was for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". None of them were for The Trilogy. Warbler says it best a couple of posts before this one.

If you want to honor the man for the work he did on the trilogy as a whole, then create a special Oscar for him like they did in 1977/78 for Lucas and Star Wars since nothing appropriate existed back then. Star Wars did not deserve Best Picture over, I believe the winner was Annie Hall. Thankfully, it did not win because it was not the best picture of the year. But it did deserve recognition for what it accomplished in terms of moviemaking. So they did the right thing and created an Oscar for it. They should have done this for LOTR as well.

I agree with you Gundark. So does my wife. We were fuming. The awards show was a joke. If I hear another reference to "the people of New Zealand", I'm going to vomit. And not a single upset in any major category. Where was this year's Adrien Brody? I was sincerely hoping for Diane Keaton or Keisha Castle Hughes to upset Charlize Theron.

STAR WARS DVD COVERS!!
Time
DEAD THREAD. Please post your comments regarding the proposed DVD covers in the thread linked in Master Sifo-Dyas' post above. Let's keep them all in one place.

Also note that Luke is obviously no longer a safe conduit for confidential information transmission. As MSD pointed out, he was intercepted. Please shut down all communication lines through Luke Skywalker. For the sake of the Rebellion.
