Should there be an ULTIMATE EDITION!

While I think that Lucas should and will eventually release an "ULTIMATE" edition (SIDE BY SIDE with thet theatrical versions, THANK YOU VERY MUCH).... I don't think many of the changes suggested in the original thread are necceasry and some of them are just plain bad ideas.

Replacing Alec Guiness? No effing way. Dubbing all the Stormtroopers? No. They had non-clones by this time.

They should put Shaw back in the Ghost scene and the end and NEVER, EVER put Hayden in the Originals. The lightsaber fixing is a good idea, and pretty obvious. Some of the special effects shots may be better in CG, but most of them are perfectly fine without it. And the Yoda puppet being replaced is just as bad as replacing Guiness or Shaw.

The Ultimate Edtions, should they ever exist, ought to be more about fixing the flaws of the 2004 DVDs than replacing more stuff to fit the blasted prequals.

I dunno. The Lurkers were awfully useful, and every race got a new air-to-air unit.

I don't think it was that it sucked. It was just that it wasn't as good as Blizzard wanted it to be, so they changed developers to Swinging Ape, but aparently weren't satisfied STILL so they canned it. Blizzard would rather cancel it than release something that is 'merely good'...

Superboy crashed Superboy-Prime into Alexander's tower, destroying it. Conner died, but all the earths coalesced into one "New Earth" with altered history. Wonder Woman is now a JLA founder again, Joe Chill was caught, Superman did things before debuting in Metropolis, among other things.

Prime and Luthor went to Metropolis where all the supervillains on Earth were trying to wreck the city, and the heroes showed up and beat the snot out of them. Prime got really angry and ran off to Oa because he think he can restart the universe by flying through the core of Oa at lightspeed (How exaclty this would restart the universe, I have NO idea)...

Anyway, the Green Lantern Corps comes together to stop him with a solid wall of ring energy and then a spider's web once Prime breaks that down, and this gives Superman and Kal-L enough time to catch up. So they fly him through Krypton's sun, stripping them all of their powers. Prime fatally wails on Kal-L and then Kal-El defeats Superboy-Prime. Kal-L dies in Power Girl's arms.

Later, Bats, Supes, and Wonder Woman all decide to take the year off. Superman doesn't really have a choice. Luthor tracks down Alexander and has the Joker kill him, then we see on Oa Superboy-Prime his trapped in a Green Lantern prison under a Red Sun and carves the Superman symbol into his chest. THen he swears he'll get out and starts drooling. The end.

Congress may clamp down on MySpace

My school filter already blocks out myspace.

But if they want to touch access to forums, well screw them! I like my obscene material!*

*Disclaimer: not meant to be taken literally.

Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Parents need to educate their kids on the how STUPID it is to give out personal information to someone you don't know. Congress should keep their nose out of it. Blocking all access to forums on the grounds that some kids might maybe possibly have the potential to be harmed by online preditors is just stupid.

It's the need for games to be "cool" that is a lot of what is stifling the industry. If it doesn't involve boobs, sports, graphic violence, or a combination their of, many will ignore it.

For example... It is almost criminal that Eternal Darkness was outsold by "$0.50: Bulletproof"... but that is how the industry works. Slap a famous person's name on a crappy game and it will outsell something far superior.
