Pet Sematary scared me when I first saw it as a kid - for obvious reasons.

Next thing they will remake Poltergeist but with CGI and a bad director.

Let's just hope they don't bring Kane or any thing else from those crappy sequels into it.

Episode I : The CG Menace

Episode II : Attack of the CG

Episode III : Revenge of the CG

You immerse yourself in all the subsidiary material you can get your hands on - regardless of quality or notability - in an effort to formalize your own personal canon.

Ah, Matthew Stover ... the guy that gave Luke the ability to run a distance of six kilometres in under two minutes :|

The Wicker Man was a horror/thriller/comedy/musical hybrid film about the clash of faiths between a neo-pagan community and an uptight devout Christian police officer lured there. It's original cut is lost possibly forever but the film exists in two cuts, the longer being the better of the two.

I myself couldn't even get into the director's cut ...

[smartass]

The new millennium started on January 1, 2001.

[/smartass]

The Great Old Ones don't subscribe to the calendar of paltry mortal fleas >:-D

My social life is virtually nonexistant.

The concept of the remake doesn't bother me, but the execution thereof usually does.

This thread should be deleted. Some creativity-starved EU hack may find it and go all smorgasbord on it. ;-)

Savage Opress. That name is utterly vomitrocious.

Sigh ... I remember when the EU used to create decent darksiders with decent names. Now they're all emos with stupid red glowsticks.

Lucas is nuts if he really believes this. The world ending on 2012? Come on!

The world really ended at the turn of the century - January 1, 2000, the new millenium. A fluctuation in the spacetime continuum caused a miniature black hole to blossom in the center of the Earth, obliterating the planet and exterminating all terrestrial life. We all are really spirits stuck in Purgatory - or one of the outer circles of Hell - until we overcome ourselves and achieve Nirvana.  

It's funny; other than Mars Attacks, I don't think I've ever seen Portman in anything outside the PT.

The first use of time travel in the EU was actually in this delightfully-bizarre story by Alan Moore.

TFN = theforce.net?

Your insight serves you well.

Anyone else have Pope Benedict XVI instantly come to mind when they saw McDiarmid in that atrocious post-transformation makeup?

I thought that Palpatine was a self-taught darkside sorceror instead of a Sith Lord.

Never really had any impressions about Yoda other than that if he were to have had a lightsaber, it would have been a purple one.

Wait, you read the first TPB and then the sixth?  What happened to 2-5?

I only read the sixth volume because it was part of the Vector storyline. I wouldn't have bothered with it otherwise.

Even a blind man would realize Sidious = Palpatine. I don't see how Lucas could have thought anyone would believe otherwise - if that was his intention, that is.

I read the first and sixth volumes of the Legacy series, and although I found the Cade character somewhat interesting, the 2-dimensional Maul-knockoffs and other repetitive junk I've come to hate from the EU overpowered anything remotely engaging and turned me right off.

You got that right. Even the love story between Annikin and Leia in that draft in more well developed than the one between Anakin and Padmé in the PT - though it still blows chunks.

Doth the SW Universe shrink? I say nay! By Jove, it doth implode!

In an earlier draft Annikin [sic] pinched a girl's ass then had sex with her in a closet. With that in mind it's kind of hard to believe Star Wars was intended to be a kids' movie first and foremost.

Wow. I'm gonna need some proof here. Not because I think you're lying, I just wanna see for myself.

From the Star Wars rough draft ... 

Kane puts his arm around his son, who has been making eyes at one of the cute young female aides. He bows before the General.

GENERAL

He takes after his mother! (They laugh) It’s so good to see you.

KANE
It’s wonderful to be with another Jedi again. There are so few of us left.

The cute aide goes back to her duties, flirting with Annikin as she passes. The young warrior pinches her on the ass, which startles her, but she goes on like nothing happened. 

And later ...

Captain Prue retreats to a computer station. The general looks around for Starkiller.

GENERAL

Starkiller!

Everyone near the general turns, but Starkiller doesn’t show.

GENERAL

Where is that boy? Montross!
Montross rushes to the general and snaps to attention.

GENERAL

Page Starkiller.

Montross goes back to his station and a few moments later, Starkiller is paged over the P.A. system. The general waits, watching the big board. Eventually, Starkiller stumbles out of an enclosed computer closet, fastening his pants and tucking in his tunic. A moment later, the cute female aide rather sheepishly exits the computer closet. She is also in the process of putting her uniform back together. Starkiller rushes up to the general and snaps to attention.
