On the matter at hand, Lucas has said the EU is an alternate universe of sorts. So... what the hell does it matter if the prequels are contradicted? I think they need to let a circle of writers take the EU canon wherever the hell they want, without direct influence from Lucas or some obscure RPG dude from the stone age like The Boost brought up.
Like that'll ever happen.
Teasing is a dying art. I am one of its last masters. You can hardly tease anyone these days because 9/10 people are so incredibly sensitive. I blame it on our warped society.
Why are you even adding things to the list, Axia? This thread was made for us to make a list for you.
I'm not participating because I think it's rather futile, but still.
Hayden comes across to me as a sheltered kid or something. Both in his acting and little stories like that.
I'd probably give the guy a hug and pat on the back. And nickname him Darth Vader so he'd feel better about himself. Poor guy.
A long time ago I saw this photo alongside one of Sebastian Shaw.
The more I think about it, the more it seems right.
It's U.S. instead of "U.S".
A pet hate of mine.
I think Axia was made from one of Go-Mer-Tonic's ribs. In the Garden of Gush.
Skyjedi: I highly suggest reading Death Troopers when it's released and giving us a review.
It's supposed to be the first Star Wars horror novel. Someone on the John Byrne forums who supposedly got an early sneak-peak said it made Revenge of the Sith look like Sesame Street.
April Fools.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan VS Darth Maul is one of the few memorable parts to come out of the prequel trilogy, if not the only. I liked it back in 99 and like it today. Sometimes I'll go back and watch just those scenes.
Forget AOTC.
Obi-Wan VS Vader in ROTS was all flash with no substance. Only the enviroment itself is what kept my attention from wandering in '05, and today I never watch it all the way through.
Obi-Wan VS Vader in ANH is cool, albeit pretty sluggish in parts.
Luke VS Vader in ESB is spectacular all around. Vader really comes undone and lays down the law on Luke, who manages to hold his own for quite a while.
Luke VS Vader in ROTJ is one of the few watchable parts of the film, but I still prefer the ESB duel.
We could make a television show featuring Axia and Go-Mer-Tonic taking on the basher community. It'd be like The Avengers. Except exceedingly dumber.
AxiaEuxine said:It is so exhausting trying to have a conversation on these boards. Alll 99.999999999999% of you do is say how much you hate this or how Lucas destroyed that. You cant post a single thing without saying something negative about Star Wars.
I would say more positive things, you know, if there were more positive things about Lucas & Co.
It's not awesome. It's sad. If only Lucas was so meticulous about the continuity of the films. He's set strict boundaries for writers, and has hired people to regulate what goes into the EU according to those boundaries.
Your reordering and alteration of those scenes sounds intriguing.
Bingowings, do keep this in mind: I believe you know just as well as I do that if ROTJ is to be edited in a way that brings it up to the caliber of the previous two Star Wars films, your "radical redux" philosophy will need to be applied.
I like the idea of starting on Tatooine and just deleting the opening Death Star scene;
That was one of the few decent parts in this otherwise incipid mess of a film. It's the last time Vader still had that distinguishable vibe that made him so popular as a villain in ANH and ESB.
Yeah, Dark Lord works better as a bridge for ROTS-ANH than TFU ever did. When closely examined, the plot of TFU makes absolutely NO SENSE at all. Dark Lord, while definitely not the best written EU, at least was written with applied talent and intelligence.
As for the ROTS novelization: heck, even though much of it was written minimalistically and with little description, it held more emotional weight than what we got in the film by far.
Dark Horse re-released the Marvel comics into volumes. I bought volume 1 at a recent comic convention in Joplin, Missouri which has many issues from that era. I love it.
Have you checked out Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader?
GoodMusician said:would it be asking too much to have one of these hiding in a corner somewhere:
and for ROTJ
Is there one of Vader?
I looked at the identification tag on your collar, and that's the link imprinted on it.
Dangerous Incorporated,
There you go, buddy.
If he doesn't like them, why touch them?
Because he sees the potential there to make something decent, via hard work in editing.
"It's not that hard a concept to grasp"
Exactly.

Ummm, thats exactly what I said.........read my post above yours.
Ummm, you misunderstand.
"If you don't like it"
It = Ady's PT edits. It was me turning your statement against itself.
G E Predator said:DarkFather said:If you don't like it, don't watch them, Dangerous Incorporated.
That's actually the smartest thing anyone has every said around here. "If you don't like them, then don't watch them." It's as simple as that.
I don't mind the prequels, and I like all six of the films as they are.
That part is at least cute in its misguided nature. The part where he makes the indirect accusation that Adywan is "sabotaging" the PT is what's laughably stupid.
