I read a rumor that Han is the only one to survive on either side, and the other two movies are just one-man shows.
Finally fulfilling the portentous promise of his surname.

Personally my favorite is Rubber Soul by the Beatles. I don't know anything about music so I can't provide any further explanation. I just know what I like, and that's my favorite
This is the correct answer.
And I know everything about music, and I can provide copious further explanation upon request.
However, anyone requesting said explanation would by so requesting demonstrate his entire lack of musical acumen, manifesting his being entirely beneath the dignity of the requested explanation, and thereby obviating the need to actually go through with any elaboration.

If a film has no interesting characters and/or poorly written dialogue, it cannot be a good film. Honestly, has anyone heard words like "welcome to the suck", "true dat", or "kewl" when you were growing up as a kid? Or when anyone was a high school/college student, did anyone have pretentious discussions about robots or the "moment seizing you"?
Sooooo....are you suggesting that the filmmakers actually went back in time 12 years and were thereby able to transplant anachronistic slang into the entire past of this kid, or wat?

The thought of the PT being "influential" is depressing indeed.
Well this should lift your spirits: it wasn't and isn't.
It was universally reviled and is now forgotten.

"So what is the best course of action to erase the prequels from our minds and replace them with something better?"
Simple. Don't bother thinking about them. But it's hard when they keep being brought up in normal conversation.
I don't think you're doing the whole "normal conversation"-thing right...
"unless you consider being punched in the balls repeatedly by a German person to be a better thing than getting your balls busted by an American guy."
I notice you omit the gender of the German ball-beater. Is it perhaps a busty, blonde, blue-eyed fraulein? Cuz if so, I think we've determined damn well which version of Episode Ein--I mean, Episode I--is better.

Please read Puggo's response above.

While I like that Splinter of the Mind's Eye and the original Marvel comics are placed in their own separate timelines apart from the main EU, I do find it irksome that there's only one EU timeline and no timelines for the different versions of the OT.
Maybe it would be fine to draw a thread from the PT to the SE-T, but it's completely offensive not to have the OOT set off with no connection to the PT, since there is no continuity between the PT and the OOT.
Also is "Clone Wars Multimedia Project" a reference to the Cartoon Network shorts?
"Voiceover" as opposed to dubbed is a bona fide horror of home video phenomena that I've been perfectly content not knowing about until just now, thank you very much! Are foreigners so incredibly averse to reading that they'd rather suffer that kind of cacophonous aural abuse?
And by "reading," I guess I mean either subtitles or just reading a book instead of watching a movie because this whole voiceover thing sounds entirely prohibitive!

For me it was a very delayed reaction.
May of 2006, finding out that the unaltered Star Wars dvd's would be sourced from the 1993 laserdisc ...
Not only delayed, but a complete non sequitur reaction to a completely unrelated event. Strange indeed.

Great to hear! I said from the beginning they shouldn't use his treatments, and that they were cursed.
If GL's treatments weren't used for ESB, Yoda wouldn't exist and Vader wouldn't be Luke's father.
Georgie-boy rewrote ESB, putting in the "I am your father" bit--it was not in any pre-script "treatment". And although RotJ was the first entire movie (arguably) signaling the end, "I am your father" was the first moment that signaled that the expansion of the SWverse had ended, and a cataclysmic contraction was at hand.
What a senseless shame.
I remember that movie!
It would be great to be able to see it again.

Lynch's Dune was a good movie. Perhaps not great, and it doesn't do Dune justice, but I'm glad that it exists.
To put this necro'd thread on topic, I'd rather have too little exposition than too much. I'd say 2001, A Space Odyssey comes dangerously close to having too little exposition, whereas Interstellar has far too much.
I'm gonna go with...uproariously terrible on the whole Dune issue. And certainly not light on the exposition, to forgive an on-topic connection. IIRC, the "film" opened with about 6 1/2 minutes of uninterrupted spoken-word doggerel re "THE SPICE," etc., while the screen just alternated back and forth between shots of two static planets.

Of course, that's because I didn't watch it. =P

Well now that it's confirmed that they finished production on the rest of the PT in 3D (and screening it this year), I assume they'll be releasing that on blu ray by the end of the year. Hopefully they will release something nice for the OT customers as well..
Where is this coming from? Sources, see voo play.

I guess you missed the part where Yoda goes, "President, Lyndon LaRouche should be. Vote for him you must in the 2000 elections! Sqwaawk!" while Mace Windu nods gravely.

It's interesting how some say that NOBODY likes the prequels yet others say that there's no demand for the OOT.
Those are not contradictory observations.
Those aren't plot holes--they're awesomeness conduits!!!
Okay so I finally got around to figuring out what on Earth this whole "TRM" thing was and I watched it.
Really, really hilarious.
My favorite parts: Quiggly John does "Get Smart" with Wattle ("We have $20,000 Daktari" "No"..."we have Jar Jar Binks"; the beautiful juxtaposition of the epic trailer-style set-up of the grassland battle, with the Benny Hill madcap music for the awful actual battle--that part was extremely impressive; "Darth Darth"; Yoda's speech about calibrating the Wookiees; the abundance of Little Orphan Ani's Yippee!'s; probably a lot of jokes I missed because I was laughing so hard at the one before it.
Beyond well played, Mr. Frink. Kudos.

It's a sign that physical media is sticking around for at least a little longer.Physical media will always be around. There will always be a market for it.
Digital d/l and physical are not an either/or proposition.
Yeah, but the market is going to become what it is in Japan: astronomically high prices for everything physical. It's already shifting that way with Twilight Time catalog titles.
That makes no sense. The presence of digital is an extreme downward influence on the price of physical.
The prices in Japan are based strictly on demand tolerances--in other words Japanese people are willing to pay more because they derive higher subjective marginal utility values from audio/visual media, and manufacturers can therefore price products accordingly. Has absolutely nothing to do with digital alternatives.

Y'all Star Wars peeps is cray-cray, yo!
I forget whether they showed Joe-Joe Binky or "Little Orphan Ani" first in The Random Premise, but the moment that one or the other opened its horrifying pie-hole first was the moment the true depths of shitasticism struck me deep in my core, and defiled my inner child once and for all.

Wouldn't surprise me if they scanned the actors during production.
THANK GOD HE LOOKS JUST LIKE DARTH VADER OR ELSE LIKE HOW WOULD WE KNOW HE'S THE BAD GUY?!?!?
I'm giving this character ten "Mehs" in no direction whatsoever.
