But if you think about it, Bomberman on a Plane is not only a catchier title, but it has to be a better idea than Snakes on a Plane!

I think they might actually show up in the picture. I know that, before I knew any better and had my DVD player set to wide with my standard TV), the subtitles appeared in the actual frame. But that's the best I can give you. I have watched them on my widescreen computer monitor, but I'm afraid I can't remember where they are.

Which, once again, is refuted by Lucas himself, back in the 1980s who said that he wanted one of the twins to have memories of their mother. Not Force-induced visions, but actual memories. There's a huge difference. To make ourselves feel better, sure, we can rationalize it, but if you want to get to the nitty-gritty, George dropped the ball, and that's all there is to it.

You mean the 2004 DVDs? No, sadly, those subtitles were very obviously not burned in, especially since the subtitles appear in the matte, which isn't even part of the picture.

Perhaps Bail and Mrs. Organa wanted to keep the seperation from her parent(s) as large as possible, to keep her away from Li'l Annie. That's how I've always seen it. And as far as luke kissing his sister, it doesn't bother me either. Leia was hot, and Luke didn't know it was his sister. And besides, there was no tongue.

Even though Lucas has stated that he did intend for Leia to be talking about her real mother, because he wanted one of the kids to retain memories of her.

I'm aware of that. It still doesn't make it any better, in my opinion. I hate all movie series that do that. And, even worse, movies that didn't do that, like The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (which, admittedly, did have a tiny Star Wars at the top) have been renamed to... well, you know. It's as if they think the viewing public is too stupid to realize it's the next movie in the series, so they have to pump up the series name as large as possible and have the real title hidden somewhere at the bottom.

Lucas claims it was always about the twins and the father. A lot of us here think that, based on logic, it was just made up at the time. Even Mark Hamill asked Lucas around the time of filming, "Did you just think that up on the plane ride over here?" It seems more likely that he just made it up, but we'll probably never know for sure.

I remember watching the animated one as a kid, but I don't remember too much about it. But at least it wasn't called, THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: *whisper*thelionthewitchandthewardrobe*whisper* like the 2005 one was. I have to admit I'm impressed that they actually decided to do LWW first instead of The Magician's Nephew. Stupid revised order...

Heh, ADM is making something of a joke, but not entirely. You see, the footage they used of Vader arriving in his shuttle is actually an unused take/angle from Return of the Jedi of Vader arriving at the Death Star at the beginning of the movie. If you look closely, you can see Moff Jerjerrod standing there waiting for him.

EDIT: Too many 3PO heads in this thread. I had to break up the monotony!

They were fine with a 14 year old queen. It was when they let Jar Jar get involved with the government that things went to hell! And they let their senator become chancellor. Hell, everything wrong with the galaxy is Naboo's fault, you're right!

EDIT: Including starting the trend of planets having really dumb names (Tatooine is debatable, but he seems to love those oos)!

Well, apparently wookiees aren't homophobic enough to keep them from piloting ships that are made of metal and carrying firearms that are made of metal and working on broken droids that are made of metal. Personality-wise, Chewie also seems to have a lot of mettle. As far as medals, maybe you have a point.

Yeah, that's the way I always speculated it was supposed to be, but alas, now it's stupid.

As for Leia being the youngest senator, is it possible that the PT ended up contradicting that? We know that Padme was 24 in AOTC, and that she was a senator. And her dialogue seems to indicate that she became a senator immediately after her term as queen ended. We know she was 14 as a queen. She couldn't have been too much older when her term expired, could she? But we also don't know when Leia first became a senator, do we? But it seems likely that they were roughly the same age. Any EU people out there care to help clarify? Shim, I'm looking in your direction!

IF the PS3 does flop, I wonder what will happen to the Final Fantasy franchise? It's been almost exclusive to Sony for nearly a decade. Hironobu Sakaguchi recently started working on some X-Box games, so it could be logical that it could drift to Microsoft. But then again, SE and Nintendo patched up their differences with the merger and a lot of fringe (and remake) titles have been on Nintendo systems, so they could be heading back to their original home.

Yeah, Chewie not getting a medal is the big crime. I mean, he even walks in with them. I wouldn't be surprised if he was expecting to get a medal and instead got the shaft. I bet that growl he utters at the very end meant, "You guys all suck!"
