They didn't go with the classic "turn the human race into lizard men" motive? That's a bad move, IMO.

My name is Jango

I have it engraved in a cartouche

I do a little tango

And I stick out my tush

As I bite into a mango

I contemplate changing my name to Scaramouche

I have a fondness for the fandango

Back in my staunch pseudo-Christian literalist days, I believed at least some of the crop circles were created by the Devil to fool people into believing in non-existent aliens.

These days, though, I go with the mainstream consensus that good ol' humans did it without the use of any fancy tech or hocus pocus.

Eh, Palpatine's as one dimensional as they come. The guy's evil for the sake of being evil, plain and simple.

I've got one of those in my collection at my mom's. I believe it has the bounty hunter that makes Han (try to) leave the Alliance in ESB.

He's one of the bounty hunters that Han encounters on Ord Mantell. =P In official canon the honor falls upon Skorr who was actually the very first bounty hunter offered up as explanation for Han's line is ESB. That was in <a href="http://dailysw.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Bounty%20Hunter%20of%20Ord%20Mantell?updated-max=2011-02-25T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=20&start=60&by-date=false">The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell</a>.

I don't know why they chose to go with Skorr as the bounty hunter Han refers to in TESB. Han's comment seems to imply that the encounter with this mysterious bounty hunter took place fairly recently, yet The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell takes place three years prior to that point. I just don't see Han stewing over something like that for so long before finally deciding to do something about it.

I don't think Boba ever got his own regular comic series, but he did have his fair share of miniseries and one-shots back then.

A new sequel to Poltergeist that completely ignores Poltergeist II & III. Ideally, such a sequel would revolve around a grown up Carol Anne dealing with a new supernatural threat completely unrelated to the one from the original movie.

A film adaptation of the '90s kids' horror anthology series Are You Afraid of the Dark?. It'd be made in the same vein as Twilight Zone: The Movie, taking stories from the original series and remaking them for a new audience. Ideally, this take would be somewhat more mature than the show was, reducing the campiness, tightening the writing, making it somewhat more gruesome, etc.

Though I prefer Star Wars over Star Trek, the entire SW vs. ST debate is a big wide load of pendatic penis-comparing bullshit. It really, seriously, pisses me right fucking off.

Shit like this

IMHO, the SOTME comics have nice art, and the overall adaptation is faithful to the novel, but it has no real character - no real soul - in it at all. All comic book adaptations seem to have that as a problem, though, so it's not a factor I'd call unique to this one in particular.

Who is to say that the Emperor actually died at the end of Episode VI?

He didn't. He transferred his essence into one of the many clone bodies he had grown for him on the planet Byss. He only died once and for all after he ran out of clone bodies and the Jedi Empatojayos Brand sacrificed his life to forcibly carry Palpatine's soul into the netherworld of the Force.

why would the Empire, with all of the massive ships and vast legions of troops, suddenly decide to call it quits?

It didn't. The uprisings shown in the SEs were swiftly quashed, the insurgents rounded up and shot by stormtroopers. The Empire stayed pretty strong following the Battle of Endor, really, only losing its power as it lost more-and-more territory to the nascent New Republic in the years following.

Out of the entire galactic population, were Vader and the Emperor really the only two on the dark side of the Force?

Nope. There were countless Dark Jedi spread throughout the galaxy, most in service to the Emperor. There were also non-Jedi darksiders, like the Nightsisters on the planet Dathomir, running around as well.
