Don'tcha think?

Colour me uninterested. I'm pretty much an SNES-and-N64 guy only, so this means nothing for me.

Alanis Nadine Morissette-Treadway turns 38 today. Let's celebrate by watching some early videos of her I'm sure she'd like to forget!

(JFTR, I personally love each and every one of the songs here, cheesy though some of them obviously are).

I am personally particular about the moving battle between Darth Maul, Quigon, and Obi-Wan in TPM although I am sad it isn't at least somewhat longer and more intricate.

More intricate? I must respectfully disagree. It needed to be simpler, more like the OT duels. The flashy maneuvers in the second half of the duel, after Qui-Gon kicks the bucket, tarnishes the whole thing IMHO.

There apparently was a black lightsaber in The Force Unleashed video game, but it was some unlockable thing or some such and it wasn't really considered canon. Then it showed up in The Clone Wars and was canonized.

To be honest, I'm not really fond of the concept or how it was realized. The wonkiness of the physics behind "black light" aside, the thing looks like a regular sword that someone recoloured into an energy blade at the last minute.

I've actually managed to find a website that lists a large number of discrepancies between the PT and old school EU. There are a number of quotes and listed sources taken from various media, so it seems the guy who wrote it up has some idea of what he's talking about. It's a lengthy read, but very interesting.

How many times in the past has he said this exact same thing.

GEORGE: I'm sick and tired of big budget extravaganzas. I'm going to step away from it all and make a YouTube Poop with MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker on my son's PC.

*time passes*

GEORGE: Next summer I'm going to re-release the Extra Super-Duper Spectacular Supreme Edition of the Star Wars Saga for first time on 4-D UltravioletDisc. This version will feature all-new scenes which add new facets to the grandiose story already present, including footage of Han and Chewie engaged in raw zoophilic sex. I always intended the Han-Luke-Leia love triangle to be a Han-Chewie-Luke-Leia quadrangle, but I didn't have the technology back in the day to adequately portray realistic human-Wookiee anal penetration. Now, with the Almighty Computer at my command, I can have my Star Wars as the way it was always, always, always meant to be.

The DSIII didn't blow up, it was sucked into a black hole.

I was in between 4th and 5th grade when I first saw ROTJ, so I wasn't aroused by Slave Leia, since I didn't start finding girls sexually attractive until after starting the 7th grade (you could call me a late bloomer, I guess). I knew she was meant to be titillating, though, and that made me uneasy since I wasn't really comfortable with viewing blatant sexuality with my family back in those days.

Later on, though, I did find her arousing in that outfit, but only mildly so; her "assets" were obscured behind the loincloth, and she wasn't filmed from particularly great angles, IMHO, to take full advantage of her "curvaceousness". Overall, I find Slave Leia in ROTJ underwhelming.

If you take drawn depictions of Slave Leia into consideration, though ...

... then it's a different story altogether =P

I still prefer the 97 Jabba to the 04 one

I think this is the first time I've ever heard anyone say that, though I do agree (to an extent).

Well, red is my favourite colour ...

Yep, but Palpatine was supposed to be the first, not the latest, Emperor according to the novelization's prologue.

What claims that the Empire was around for 40 years at the time of ANH?

I think Zahn implies such a date in the Thrawn trilogy. It's a wonky timeline, but I do think it can be made to work with what's stated in the OT if you assume the Republic and the Empire were actually seperate entities that co-existed at some point in the past.

Hmm... any clarification on this would be great.

Zombies suck. Revenants are where it's at.

Overall, I'd make my prequels mesh with the Expanded Universe as it existed prior to TPM's release. No Darths other than Vader, multiple lightsaber colours for all, clones as the enemies, etc.

But yeah, this is a topic best posted in the re-write forum.
