I've never been fond of how KOTOR handled the Tusken-Jawa relationship. One race evolves into two new -- apparently incompatible -- species in the mere span of thousands of years? I'm not buying it.

Wow guys. Way to needlessly gang up on a new guy who felt a video was worth its own thread. Sheesh.
David Lynch should never appear in the title of a thread that doesn't include "I Hate."
You should be trapped in the Black Lodge for uttering such blasphemy.
gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman
A Lucas written-and-directed ST would have probably sucked almost as much as the PT. The only difference is that there wouldn't have been a lot of shitty CGI thrown all over the place.
Lucas apologists aren't true Star Wars fans.
There, I said it.

Many people show a strange aversion to bumblebees, which are almost entirely harmless, and show no hesitation in stepping on them, but when those things get in the house I always capture them rather than kill them.
I find bumblebees rather cute. Hell, I consider all bees cute.
Yellowjackets, on the other hand ... Let's just say they're my second least favourite insect.
Truth be told, I'm just not fond of the Nolan Batman and I'm not sad to see that version's story come to a end.
Of course, that doesn't mean that I think that whatever comes after it will be any good. It'll probably be worse if anything.
Easy -- show only the violence and leave pointless things like plot out of the picture.

Guys... Are you freaking kidding? The head bung was just a joke, a reference, that should not be taken seriously. If you take everything seriously, then the alien from E.T. is a part of SW, because there are few of them in the background in the Senate. But why are they really there? It's an "easter egg", a joke. Don't forget that Star Wars are MOVIES, a fiction, not a freaking documentary.
Too true. After all, when you take things too seriously, you end up with stupidity like this.

Where were you in '83?
I, personally, have no idea where I was in '83. Perhaps my initial component molecules were still resident in an undigested bit of beef or a blot of mustard.

Well there is no way I will be watching any reboot that tries to undo SG-1 and Atlantis. So the fans support the shows for more then a decade and the studio makes a bunch of money off of them and how does the studio thank these loyal fans? They say "That show was crap and you were an idiot for watching it and it never happened!",that's just great.
You know I am getting sick of reboots,why bother watching a story when you know in a few years the studio is going to say it never happened? Whatever happened to seeing stories play out and building on what came before? Stop retelling the same stories over and over again and give us something new Hollywood. Just because something has been gone for a while doesn't mean you have to start over,just look at Doctor Who,one of the reasons it is so popular right now is that it didn't start over and it built on what came before and it was off the air for 16 years and was the butt of jokes about bad cheap tv for most of that time and yet look at it now.
Still I guess if it keeps Emmerich away from Foundation that would be something.
This smacks too much of the EUphiles and their anger towards the ST. Since it's all fiction, it never really happened anyway. And besides, all those DVDs and Blu-rays of Stargate SG-1 and co. are still going to be produced and sold; a reboot isn't going to cause them to magically vanish from the face of the Earth.
Also, when you get right down to it, SG-1 was basically a reboot in and of itself.
INT. BUNKER 13/LEVEL 9/OROWI'S QUARTERS/MAIN ROOM - DAY
Orowi is busy looking through an assortment of loose datacards when a knock is heard on the door.
OROWI: (to someone in the bedroom) Hey, Olo, where's my report on the Battle of Cathar?
Olo -- a tall, slender, multi-limbed xexto -- leans his head out the bedroom door. Another knock is heard through the door.
OLO: Are you going to get that?
OROWI: Momentarily. Now tell me -- do you know where my report is?
OLO: Knowing you, you dropped it in the toilet.
OROWI: Ha, ha. It is to laugh.
Another knock resounds through the door.
OROWI: (to the door) Just one hot minute!
Rising up from his seat, the Toydarian flies over to the door and opens it. Standing outside his door is Anakin Skywalker, his expression serious.
OROWI: (surprised) Anakin!
ANAKIN: Surprised to see me, Orowi?
OROWI: What can I do for you? Make it quick, though -- my first course starts in twenty-three minutes.
ANAKIN: (walks in) I'll make it quick.
Crossing over to the chair Orowi was sitting in a moment before, he plops himself down in it and begins to look Orowi's datacards over one-by-one.
OROWI: (flies over to Anakin) Be careful with those. I don't need any of them going missing.
ANAKIN: What were you doing there last night?
OROWI: (worried) Uh, last night?
ANAKIN: Down in Sublevel R, remember? Where Gurkan had taken Nashira and held both of us at knifepoint?
OROWI: Well, I --
ANAKIN: (puts down a datacard and stands up, towering over Orowi) Gurkan told me that place had been sealed up for decades and no one went down there anymore. Yet you just happened to waltz right on in, just as if you had been there before, and as if you expected to find Gurkan there.
OROWI: Nik --
ANAKIN: (frowns) I want to know what part you had to play in his little revenge scheme.
OROWI: (sighs) Nothing, Nik. I had nothing to do with his plan to hurt you and Nashira.
ANAKIN: Then what were you doing down there?
OROWI: (shrugs) I may as well tell you. I was going to tell you eventually, anyway. (beat) I have been to Sublevel R before, and I knew Gurkan was going to be there.
ANAKIN: (angry) So you did know!
OROWI: (frowns) No! I told you already, no! (beat) You saw that machine down there, right?
ANAKIN: Yes.
OROWI: And you remember when Gurkan took that piece of machinery from the supply room.
ANAKIN: Yeah.
OROWI: Nik, Gurkan and I ... we were both working on building a transmitter.
ANAKIN: Transmitter?
OROWI: (nods) For the past two years, a small outfit of prisoners has been working on building a deep space transmitter which will allow us to call for help on select, secure frequencies. I myself joined up only three months before you arrived. (beat) We were setting it up in Sublevel R to avoid detection from the Mandies.
ANAKIN: (furrows his brow) I find it hard to believe you actually had Gurkan working with you.
OROWI: He may be a prick, but he wants out of here along with the rest of us.
ANAKIN: How many of you are there? Working on this, I mean.
OROWI: Twenty-two. Mostly fellow Level 9ers, though we have managed to recruit a few higher-and-lower levellers.
ANAKIN: (under his breath) Is your roommate one of you?
OROWI: Of course. Do you think I'd be speaking so freely on the subject if I were keeping it secret from him?
ANAKIN: How far along are you on the transmitter?
OROWI: At our current work pace, it should be complete in about five or six months.
ANAKIN: You said you were going to tell me about all this in the first place, right?
OROWI: (nods) Yes. I knew I could trust you. (beat) Of course, if you don't want to help us, that's alright.
ANAKIN: (shakes his head) No, no. I do want in on this. I've got some expertise on mechanics, after all, and I'm dying to get off this damned planet.
OROWI: (smiles) Good, that's good. (beat) Just don't tell anybody about this, okay?
ANAKIN: (frowns) But I have to tell the others. They can help us.
OROWI: (shakes his head) No. No way. Absolutely out of the question.
ANAKIN: Oh, c'mon! You don't expect Ben or Siri or 'Shira to rat on us, do you?
OROWI: I don't expect, but I do suspect.
ANAKIN: Now you're just being paranoid!
OROWI: Alright, okay, you can tell the Jedi.
ANAKIN: (grins) Excellent. I'm sure they --
OROWI: (cont'd) But not a word of this to 'Shira. Got me?
ANAKIN: Why not 'Shira?
OROWI: She's a cute little pixie and I like her, but I don't completely trust her. If the Mandalorians get their hands on her -- and I mean really get their hands on her -- she'll squeal and squeal loud. You can't expect her to hold up against their interrogations.
ANAKIN: (resigned) Alright. I won't tell 'Shira.
OROWI: Good. (beat) You can start tonight, two hours after lights out. I hope you like your caf black, 'cause that's the only way we serve it.
I watched the first season of the HBO Spawn series.
While I liked the animation, everything else was unappealing to me, so I won't be watching the rest of the series.
eleventeen heads and thirty-twelve
I just found out that Warner Bros. and MGM are going to team up to do a reboot of Stargate in the form of a film trilogy directed by Roland Emmerich.
While I do think the Stargate franchise needs to be rebooted (I am NOT fond of how Stargate SG-1 and its spinoffs interpreted the universe), I don't believe for a second that Emmerich should be the one handled the reigns to it. He may have co-created the original film, but it was heavily flawed and, frankly, he doesn't have the talent or the vision to do the potential of the Stargate universe any justice.
Well, I'd probably have made the films in general much darker than they were -- somewhere between Temple of Doom dark and Excalibur dark.
I wouldn't have limited myself to numbered trilogies, and would have made more than six films based in the PT & OT eras.
I would have kept Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader seperate characters -- Anakin and Obi-Wan would have been about the same age and both trained by Yoda with Darth being a slave Ben rescued from a hellish Hutt-controlled planet and took on as his apprentice.
Luke would have remained Darth Vader's son. Darth either would have forced himself on Anakin's wife or had an extramarital affair with her; in either case, Luke would have been the illegitimate son of Darth Vader pawned off as Anakin Skywalker's.
More lightsaber colours beyond single shades of blue, red, green, and the occasional purple.
There would be no mention of Sith, Sith Lords, Dark Lords of the Sith, etc. Palpatine would be a non-aligned dark side sorcerer and Vader a Dark Jedi.
The clones in the eponymous Clone Wars would have worn pure-white Mandalorian armour and, obviously, would have been fighting against the Republic instead of for it.
Pre-bionic Darth Vader would have wielded a red lightsaber while bionic Darth Vader would have wielded a blue lightsaber.
I would have kept Clive Revill as the voice of Palpatine while casting a beautiful woman to play the actual character (I like creepily androgynous characters).
Han would have probably died, allowing Luke and Leia to get together.
Jabba's headquarters would have been based on a world of grasslands, not Tatooine.
No BS about Leia being Luke's sister. Another female character would have filled that role.
Only one Death Star, and only in the last film focusing on the OT characters, not the first.

Star Wars Revisited (2008) - 9.5/10
Someone tell me that date is wrong.
When it comes to fan edits, I go with the year it -- not the original movie -- was released in.
Unless you're saying the edit wasn't actually released in 2008 (fanedit.org does list January 2008 as it's release date, though).

Wait what? Some remade Rear Window?
Why do people keep trying to remake Hitchcock?
It was a TV movie that came and went without drawing any real attention to itself. The production values are predictably mediocre, though Reeve's performance does elevate it somewhat.
I guess it's only a matter of time before we get a remake of The Seventh Seal with giant robots.
And Vin Diesel as Death. *shudder*
It's "waste", people, not "waist". Waist is that part of the torso which women always obsess over even when they're in excellent shape.
I think you should change the spelling of "Dooku" so it doesn't sound so goofy. Something along the lines of "Dohku" would read much better.
D'oh!
EXT. CENTRAL TOWER/PENTHOUSE/DECK - DAWN
The first rays of light from Dania VII's three suns falls over the central tower of the Mandalorian complex, illuminating the outer deck of the penthouse. There on the deck, kneeling with her face to the suns, is Zull. Nearly nude save for a diaphanous nightgown which envelopes her body, she moves her hands around on her belly, eyes closed in deep meditation.
PRE VIZSLA: (O.S.) In communion?
Hearing the voice of her master, Zull opens her eyes.
ZULL: She is healthy and she is happy.
Turning around, she finds Vizsla standing behind her; in stark contrast to her own exposed form, he wears a heavy black robe which conceals his entire body save for his head and hands.
PRE VIZSLA: She will be among the first of the Mandalorian Knights born into our order. Her entry into this world will be cause for celebration.
Rising to her feet, Zull turns and steps up to her master.
ZULL: When I first found out I was with child, all I wanted was to cut her out of my body. Now, I can't imagine a future without her.
PRE VIZSLA: The sins of fathers must never be visited upon their children. Birth is a glorious aspect of life. It must always be cherished.
Reaching out, Zull takes Vizsla's hand.
ZULL: You gave her to me. (kisses his hand) You are her father.
Hearing those words, Vizsla can't help but to shut his eyes tight with emotional pain. Though Zull has come to terms with her pregnancy, Vizsla can never forget the horror that led to it or the shame he feels for the part he played in bringing it about.
