It's funny. Lucas refused to follow the EU route by giving the Jedi/Sith multiple lightsaber colours (with Windu being the sole exception) in the PT, but goes and changes the lightsaber colours in the OT to all sorts of wonky shades.

Isn't it ironic, don'tcha think?

Most of the stuff you wouldn't notice right off the bat, like the Falcon's extended descent to Cloud City, the opened up Cloud City interior, stuff like that.

I also kinda like the new Wampa, though I don't think the face look's like the face of the original Wampa, and I'm alright with the Sarlacc beak.

The so called great jedi purge is handled in a pathetic and anti climatic way in episode III, this is not Vader betraying the jedi and hunting them down.

I agree with this 100%. It's more like the Simple Jedi Pogrom.

Once upon a time the Mandalorians were said to be a largely extinct culture, wiped out in the Clone Wars.

Now they're fine and dandy, as numerous as ever, and apparently were never wiped out ever.

Whoever did that, Traviss or EU Schmoe #10, sucks and I loathe them for it.

Funny thing is, I think this thread has turned into confession. "Forgive me, father, for I don't like an aspect of the Nolan Batman series."

If it's any consolation, I think the overall story of Batman Returns was pants. Some nice direction and set design isn't quite enough to make up for the baby rescue scene, the whole stupid subplot of the Penguin running for mayor, the Penguin's speech to the penguins, and all the other campy bullshit.

Oh, and I did like Cillian Murphy as the Scarecrow. He just wasn't given enough to do.

I started to read The Fellowship of the Ring months ago, and stopped after getting halfway through to take a break from it.

More recently I was reading The Bachman Books. I decided to take a break from it once I got to Roadwork and lost interest.

I'm now reading The Lost World by Michael Crichton. So far it's okay, not great, but still a lot better than the shitty film.

1984 the movie spoiled 1984 the novel for me, so much so that I'm never going to read it because I already know how it's going to unfold.

Of course, I hated 1984, so that may have something to do with it ...

This has been on my mind for some time, so I'll just say it and get it over with.

The Nolanverse Scarecrow sucks.

The Scarecrow is one of Batman's best villains in the comics/animated series, a truly fucked up psycho with a messed up past. In BB and TDK he's reduced to nothing more than a third tier villain with a burlap sack on his head. He doesn't even get a decent costume.

^Yeah, it is an awesome retro image, and a great representation of what the PT could have been. It's the cover art to the second issue in the Emissaries to Malastare miniseries just in case you were wondering.

I'd have to go with Batman '89 as my favourite live-action Batman film. It has that gothic quasi-vampire eeriness I love about Batman without the over-the-top Burtonness of Burton, the neon homoerotic camp of Schmacher, and the stifling realism of Nolan.

If I could go beyond live-action films, though, I'd go with the animated Mask of the Phantasm. It - along with the animated series, of course - captured Batman far better than any live-action film has thus far IMO.
