three of which I can handle like my existing official Blu-rays: glue them all together, put a string through the middle, and suspend them inside one of the cavities in the walls of my house, so nobody accidentally watches them or stumbles across them and thinks that I like those films enough to buy them

This is really funny.

That is seriously what I did with the 2011SE’s. You glue the shiny sides together so it’s really clear what’s on the disks. Star Wars and Empire on the sides, Jedi in the middle, a little offcenter so that you can see some of its cover too. They’re currently hanging inside the wall cavity of my youngest child’s bedroom closet.

Love it.
But be careful… Some may not think that’s valid.
I got heavily berated for announcing that I only own the paper receipt from my purchase of the BD boxset. “THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH! HE SHOULD BE BANNED!” even though it proves, irrevocably, that I paid my hard earned cash for the set (you can even trace it to my bank account). Simply possessing the set says nothing. Ya coulda’ stole it, bought it second hand, ect.

And what would be wrong with the latter? Or do you need to actually pay the megacorporations for a brand spankin’ new copy to “legitimately” download fan-edits/preservations/etc.?

Oh, nothing at all!
It’s just silly to say that I have less right to own fan edits when I actually have proof that my money went to LFL.

Alright, I see what you mean. And you’re right, it is silly.

PT Re-Write: Jedi outfits
Time

The PT-era Jedi in the Reconstructed Saga wear all-black uniforms.

JEDI INITIATE/SERVICE CORPSMAN

Jedi initiates and Jedi Service Corpsmen (initiates who fail to be chosen as apprentices) wear simple black tunics like the kid at top.

JEDI APPRENTICE

JEDI KNIGHT

JEDI MASTER

Jedi masters wear all-black versions of the outfit above.

Sith, on the other hand, wear white. Anakin, after joining the Sith but before becoming Vader, wore an all-white version of his later Vader armour sans helmet.

It’s probably for the best that Lynch didn’t do ROTJ. I can’t imagine Lucas would’ve give him any more creative freedom than he gave Marquand. Lynch’s ROTJ would’ve likely been as tepid a film as the ROTJ we got, only with some minor casting/aesthetic differences.

He looks genuinely creepy in this. Definitely up there with ROTJ but in a more undead way.

Well, that’s one positive at least. How about Ian’s performance? In ROTJ it was a nice balance of real creepiness with schlock villain. Again, in ROTS in was too over the top into schlock.

More on the serious side, but without being dull. He has a few evil cackling moments, but overall he’s quite grim and dramatic. Again, he’s kinda ghostly and creepy, don’t know how else to describe it.

An embodiment of Das Nichtige?

Perhaps that’s too Barthian, though.

Why don't people hate the Palpatine re-casting in ESB yet despise Force ghost Anakin's re-casting in RotJ?

I think they’re both improvements. Leaving Ghost Shaw in there would be a plot hole, IMO, as unscarred Shaw never existed.

Doesn’t matter. He’s part of the Force and thus can take on any form of his choice.

What if he wanted to come back as a goose?

Then a goose he would be.
