Which one? No, I don't mind so long as I don't sound like my normal horse's ass self. No, wait, that would rule out every single thing I've ever said. Ah, go ahead and use the quote. I'd just like to know which one it is.

Luke, out of curiosity, what is your local paper? Let us know if they have a website and what the URL is, because it would be cool if we could link to the article off this site somewhere and Jay could even use a link to the article as a reference in e-mails that he sends for support and whatnot. We can put buttons and banners on webpages, but these still don't hold water against the power of print support. Still something so much more credible about seeing this sort of thing in print.

I found mention of the site on JediDefender.com - a site dedicated to SW toys. No logo, but a mention under the title "Greedo Shoots First?"

Actually, the easy way of setting up this highlight option is to just go into the HTML coding of your page and change the text color to the same as that of your background color. If you are using a background image, it can be a little more difficult, but it can still be done.

Yeah, you would have to have a pretty high initial production number. And I agree that making it a limited-time-only offer might have the effect desired by Lucas. High numbers and relatively quick sales. Look how it's helped Disney by having their animated flicks come out for short periods of time before going into moratorium. Produce a few quick TV commercials when the time is nearly up and that will boost sales yet again.

Another great way of ensuring fast sales is to release the OT DVDs the day after Thanksgiving. That first "official" day of the Christmas sales season is bound to shoot numbers through the roof.

Hell, I'd wait overnight for my local store to open to be first in line to buy it. Gimme gimme gimme.

Jay,

I'm afraid to try to take the time to scroll through all the petition signatures myself as there are only so many hours in a day. But, do you happen to know offhand if any celebrities or anyone affiliated with the original SW trilogy has signed the petition? That would be pretty damned cool to have the support of someone who was involved in it.

I saw a plug in the news text on News Askew. This is a site dedicated to the news about Kevin Smith films. The blurb may wind up being archived any day now, but I did see it there under "View Askew Newsbites" dated Wednesday, March 19, 2003.

Or, instead of that, we could just create a thread or entire topic section that is nothing but spoiler discussion. That way, if you want to avoid them, you don't have to worry about looking out for "Spoiler Alert" or the like.

Me neither. Don't you guys think it takes the fun out of it knowing everything that's supposed to happen? I mean, a little hint here or there is fine, but the whole damn thing?!?

I'm pretty sure the birth is supposed to be included. I dunno about her death though.

I always assumed the timeline was that Anakin knocks up Padme (lucky bastard), he turns to the darkside of the force while she goes into hiding, she gives birth and he never knows, then she dies. So it wouldn't be her death driving him over the edge. Because if he knew about her death and wasn't pushed over already then the likelihood would be that he knew about the twins as well because he would have to be there to know about her death and she would've had to give birth to them before she dies, right?

Jay,

How many signatures are you planning to get or until what date are you leaving the petition open until you send this on to Lucasfilm? Or is that not how this works?

I'm curious what happens with the petition once it's "ready".

Well, I don't think it would be a flashback so much as it would be one of those hazy edged memories featuring no more than Padme's face. Okay, not literally hazy-edged, but you get my point. It would be like some kind of quick flash to a shot of Padme's face while Leia says the line about her mom being beautiful yet sad.

I suppose a flashback wouldn't be nearly as bad as actually having her in there as a character. Can you imagine how much they'd have to age Natalie? Yikes.

I wish I could remember. A coworker of mine told me about it nearly six months ago and he can't remember where he read it online. Like I said though, this is a rumor. Not nearly confirmed since nothing is really confirmed about Ep. III. If one of us finds it, I'll post it here.

So far as I've heard, scenes with Padme are actually going to be added to the original trilogy as well (primarily in ROTJ I think). That's some of what Lucas wants to do is establish that she's not dead and that Luke and Leia find out who their mother really is or reunite or some such crap.

Hey all,

the other thread in this category was getting a bit bogged down with text. Let's try something new in this thread. If you have a site with an originaltrilogy.com text or graphic link, simply list the URL here. If you happen to be surfing and find a site with the link that is not already listed, add the URL here. Let's try to keep it to nothing more than URLs.

First two...

www.kapgar.com

www.thedigitalbits.com

This way, we can show our support for the sites that are supporting our cause. Copacetic?

Forget what I said earlier about if there will be anything on the back of the shirt. I just looked at the picture in your post and not the text. I like it, but I think I like the new design better. Bowling or T-Shirt, eh? Any idea on price?

Sorry, as much as I favor the original trilogy coming out on DVD, I can't say no to seeing Episode III. That's tantamount to blasphemy. And I don't want to lower myself to Lucas' current level.

I dig it, but how about losing the peg hole on the top and maybe the "ages 4 and up"? I like the figure card look, but the peg hole, etc. is a bit much. Anything on the back?

Just let me know the cost and I'll see if I have money at the time to pick one up.
