I blame George Romero for making a movie I didn't like one time... even though he's also made some of my favorite movies of all time and inspired my favorite books and comics, making my life better than it would have been without him.

Eff him.


Ah, this reminds of how I like Night of the Living Dead but hate all the sequels that follow. Yes, he definately deserves to be effed.

Time

You a faceless automaton, without heart, without soul, an instinct-driven anthropomorphic maggot designed to feast upon the ebon objects of your psyche-spawned desires. You have no purpose. You are Nothing.

Then one day you make a discovery; you find love with a beautiful woman, a woman who acts as a mirror, reflecting the image of a pristine shining paradise into the shadow-shrouded depths of your vestigial mind. As you find this Love, you also discover God. You enter a new stage of personal evolution, and begin to metamorphose from homo vermis to homo deus. The veil begins to lift from your vestigial mind, which begins to expand, allowing you perceive the cosmos on a higher level than was previously possible.

But then disaster strikes! You discover your love has been one-sided as this time, and that She has been your true god all along. She spurns your worship, and exiles you from Her presence. The God whom you falsely claimed to worship denies you in turn for your feigned alliegiance, and becomes the Ignorer, the Silent God.

You are cast out into the Outer Darkness. You devolve. No longer are you the burgeoning God Man, or even the original Maggot Man; you are now vermis homo, the Man Maggot.

Darkness no longer envelops your mind, for you no longer have a mind to speak of. You wail and gnash your teeth will all the awareness of a lobotomized amoeba. You are beyond purposeless; you are Less Than Nothing.

As you lament and trevail, you finally find the One True God; It isn't your Love, or even the Silent God. The One True God is Time, and Death, Entropy, and the Destroyer of Worlds - All-Powerful, All-Consuming Chaos.

And It laughs at you, this blind, deaf, and dumb Deity, as you fall beyond ... The Scary Door.

I sense that after so many years of having to put up with Lucas' PT we've been led to assume that an alternate treatment of the story would have to include the same story elements, plot lines, characters, and locations, but ever so slightly re-arranged.


Alternatively, the rewriters in question may just like those concepts and would like to see them in a better context =P

here is a list of Lucas PT elements that I have done my absolute best to avoid. This list is not comprehensive...

- The term "Sith". They are not Sith, they are "followers of the dark side" or "dark Jedi".


Though I don't hate the Sith (at least the Sith as they were portrayed pre-PT), I think this is a good idea. The Sith have too much baggage; having the lightsiders and darksiders belonging to two different sects of the same basic religion is a nice simplification.

- A very small Jedi Order. Their numbers in this trilogy never go past seven members.


I'm not sure how I feel about this. It could work if you don't have the Jedi acting as a kind of cornerstone to the Republic, so to speak, but as some minor group that almost no one knows about which plays no major role in galactic affairs.

- A female villain. And no, her name does not begin with "Darth".


DEFINATELY agree with these, especially the "Darth" one. It'd also be nice if the female villain is young, attractive, and seductive rather than old, ugly, and deformed.

Also, she is not conspiring with Palpatine.


Another good one. We don't need the universe revolving around Palpatine.

- There are only four lightsaber users in this trilogy. It's not much of a stretch from the OT's three; and it's far less indulgent than the Lucas PT's 1000+.


Any plans of including lightsabers coloured something other than blue, red, and green?

- Jedi are infertile. And this fact is believed to hold fast and true for all of them until it is revealed in Episode II that Jeni is carrying Anakin's children. I will not explain this scientifically because that would lead us into midi-chlorian territory. Just chalk it up to the mysterious workings of the Force.


Hmm ... not really seeing the necessity of this. Again, though, it all depends on how you go about executing the idea.
