But Wookiees might be doing things that would be impossible for humans in suits to do, like tree acrobatics at stuff.

And the fact that There are actually eight Wookiee suits is impressive enough for me--who expected Lucas to make a wookiee suit at all?

And, Wookies giving orders on their own planet seems to make sense, and who says the Empire couldn't just turn around and enslave them. Remember Palpatine hates non-humans, but he uses them if they can get him more power.

Yeah. The books would be nice.

But I'm afraid NJO would be too visceral to translate to film without an R rating.

Now I am on chapter two of Traitor. I really liked the "Rebel -----" books

I didn't read Dark Journey.

OH. In that case I agree with you Artoo.

You just made it sound earlier like you thought the prequels were absolute disasters like the Holiday Special.

I'm finding them harder to read since they killed off the freakin' main character.

Well, TMP was pretty good, and AotC was a considerable improvement.

If that trend keeps up, RotS should be the best of the prequels.

Well. Leia tries to kill Viqi Shesh and Jaina starts killing Vong for fun.

Is that not darkside enough?

Ok. I'll tell it.

My friend "Matt" and my cousin "Dylan" were dueling. My cousin's "lightsabers" cheap Big Lots brands. He had two, so during the "match" he threw one of them at "Matt" and it distracted him long enough for "Dylan" to score the kill. Of course "Matt" said that this was cheating.

It must have upset "Matt" pretty badly, because the next morning my dad found "Matt" asleep on the couch. My dad was wearing some Jedi-robe-colored coveralls because it was cold and he was going to feed the horses or something. "Matt" was still asleep, but his eyes opened and he looked right up at my dad and said "How does it FEEL to be a Jedi Knight?"

Anyway, my dad bothered him about it for years. "Matt" later gave the explanation that he dreamt that "Dylan" had become a Jedi instead of "Matt" and "Matt" asked how it felt in the dream.

It couldn't be true, because Coruscant wasn't named until 1991 by Timothy Zahn in Heir to the Empire.

Wow. And I thought the last 6 words of The Unifying Force made it sound so Final--as if the saga wouldn't extend into the future.

I hope they bring Anakin back.

I assure you all I am fine.

In fact, I would probably find the Original Cut differences as jarring as y'all do the SE's changes.
And I know--fromthese boards mostly--most of the changes in the SE. The other's I sort of picked up... visually.

And speaking of glowing toy light sabers... Man me and my friends used to play with those all the time!
Right after the Phantom Menace came out (I was eleven) me and my friends were obsessed with Jedi and actually dueled with the plastic lightsabers. Ah.. Good Times...

I have a funny story about that, actually.

Yeah... I guess your right.

Who wants to bet the Vong would reject the Matrix en masse like 1% of humans.

Especially with all those redundant nerve pathways.

You've never seen the original trilogy?!?

You've just made George Lucas so happy.

Whoa... Wait.. did that come out wrong!?!? Of course I've seen the Original Trilogy...but only the SE.
What I meant was I have never seen the theatrical cuts. Because they came out ten, seven, and four years before I was born.

I'm not sure what the last three replies have to do with the topic... can someone enlighten me???

And Shimraa... They were called Voxyn, they were lizzards, and they were cloned, yes, but they weren't cloned in a machine.

Just to play Dark Side’s advocate for a minute:

What do you think would be more of an abomination to a Yuuzhan Vong:

Being put into the Matrix to power machines, or

Being cloned in a Spaarti or Kaminoan Cloning Cylinder??

I probably mis-worded what I said earlier:

What I mean is, that most people--the general public--doesn't care which version of the movies they put on DVD. Only people who prefer the Original Cuts care, so even if there is some legal "shakyness" it really won't matter to the average consumer.

(For the record, I don't have a preference, because I've never seen the original cuts)
