Just like with the Hayden ghost thing, you're being far too literal with our meaning! I don't think anyone here doesn't accept the fact that George can legally change the movies as much as he wants. He owns them. To be honest, I admit that I envy him for being able to own his films, unlike other directors/writers whose films belong to the studios they make them for. But he's abused his own property so much that you begin to wonder if it's truly a good idea. But, yes, legally, he can do what he wants. That doesn't necessarily make it right for him to do so. We know we don't truly own the Star Wars movies, but we have a responsibility to them. We're the reason they exist. And he depends on us to keep making them. He's released them to us, but now he just acts like he's driving a cart, and we're his horse, and he's just dangling the carrot in front of us. And that seems right to you?

Although she is getting on in years, I don't think she looks half bad.


Dayumn! I always thought she was hot when I was a kid watching Lois and Clark, but I've never seen her like this before! And I can't say that I ever pictured her as someone who'd wear a thong, but I'm quite impressed with the results!

The funny thing is, I just got a promotional packet from that college about a week ago. Well, there's one college I definitely won't be attending.


That is pretty sad. I'm not sure what else to say, but I just wanted to point out that I think that's pretty sad.

I hate the fact that I have less than a month left to be a teenager.

Because continuity would only hinder Lucas's vision.

And I agree with 20th Century Mark's opinions. Their main objective was to protect the shield generator as long as possible, so they had to be in between the AT-ATs and it. And I always assumed the Death Star's shield would extend out far enough that it could be a danger to passing ships if it wasn't deactivated. That makes enough sense. The torture thing. Well, I never thought that Chewie's loud noise was supposed to be a form of torture. To be honest, I never really gave it much thought at all. The closed captions call it an alarm, so I just thought that some security measure was in process. As for Leia, well, I don't think we want to know what they did to her. ^_~

And if Paul and Ringo wanted to change their works, I say more power to them. They wrote it, so they have the absolute right to change their work to the way that makes them happy. After all, it's not their responsibility to make everyone happy. They merely make the films they want, and people can take it or leave it. I think that is the best an artist can ever hope to do.


Hate to be nitpicky, but Ringo didn't really write many of those songs. And although most of them weren't really collaborations, every song written by Paul or John was attributed to both of them, and, as we all know, John's dead.

What new DS design? I wasn't aware of this.

I don't know if I really have anything against it. I mean, technically, only nine other people on this forum have posted more times than he has. That's simply the way it is. But it just... I don't know how to explain it. It just feels weird looking at the list. It's actually kinda creepy to think that only nine more people have posted more times than he has. It just instills me with a feeling of... well, not quite dread, but it's kinda weird.

EDIT: Oh, and congratulations, Dayv! Only 90 posts (now) to go!

Scotty, I love The Beatles analogy. Of course, Paul did go back and make Let It Be... Naked, but it didn't replace the original Let It Be.

Neither am I a prequel hater. I find them enjoyable and entertaining. I do, however, think them to be like a wicked stepmother who suddenly comes in and attempts to change your entire life around, and your wussy father just allows it to happen without raising a finger. Your big admiration of the prequels... or, sorry, the whole saga is that it fits together so well as one big story. To be honest, if the prequels had actually done that, I would have been impressed with them. If I had watched them and gone, "Wow. That's just like they always said it was going to be. I can see how that really expounds on what the original movies already told me was going to happen," then I would be completely satisfied with them. I still wouldn't consider them to be onecompletesagatobewatchedinnumericalorder because that's just silly. But any shmuck can artificially create continuity by putting patch jobs on his previous works when he suddenly comes to the much too late realization of, "Oh, wait. I just made this movie, and it doesn't fit what I said before." But prequels are always a very tricky business because it is so easy to contradict yourself with them. It takes a really excellent storyteller to be able to be able to work around what he already has to fit continuity and still tell the story he imagines. George just couldn't cut the mustard, so now he just pretends that he never made any mistakes, "Because, see the movies? See, I introduced Naboo in Return of the Jedi. I'd always planned that. Isn't it cool how I managed to get Hayden Christensen at the end of Return of the Jedi enen though he was a toddler then because I knew I'd be casting him a decade and a half later. It was all part of my vision. They fit together perfectly!"

Yeah, that's just silly, isn't it?
