Qui-Gon Jinn... sounds like the name of a beer

Indeed. That old Darth Plagueis sure was a genius! Wasn't Qui-Gon Jinn involved in that whole midichlorian scandle somehow? I can't remember...

Did anyone else find Ian McDiarmid to be ineffectual as the Emperor?

I would have rather seen someone like Christopher Lee or Frank Langella in the role.

What do you all think?


Sorry dude, but...

Christopher Lee = Count Dooku.
Frank Langella = Skeletor.
Ian MacDiarmid = Emperor. (Except in ESB...I refuse to accept he's even in there. Orignal Emperor forever!)

It isnt so bad...

There are in fact so many video errors IMO. So many shots that look right in previous releases, but are now colorless or over-saturated. I also noticed many more matte lines than before, but it's not them I worry about. It's the now core-less, mis-colored lightsabers. Why must they be so messed up?? Why???

By the way, Sessler I like the avatar you're sporting at MF.com.

Lucasfilm acknowledging fan hate
Time
Heh. Just got the new Insider and there's a letter I felt I had to share. Didn't expect this to actually be published, but here it is:

A GHOSTLY EDIT
I recently bought the Star Wars trilogy DVD set, and something has been on my mind. Why has the spirit of Anakin Skywalker, as seen at the end of Return Of The Jedi, been changed from Sebastian Shaw to hayden Christensen?
Danielle Cole - Davisburg, MI

And the official response:

When the photo of that shot was circulated on the internet, many fans were upset that Hayden had been inserted, most because they just didn't see the connection. However, there is a very reasonable explanation-but it can't be revealed until next spring when a certain new film opens in a theater near you.

Ugh. Well, just thought I'd randomly share that.

Your RotS Wish List

Can't say I agree about Tarkin. I believe there are some characters that should just be left alone. He's perfect in ANH.

I kinda agree about Qui-Gon. However, I also think it's cool if he doesn't show up and just dissapears in TPM and we hear him AOTC and that's it. Not all characters need to have happy endings.
