If they do this and allow for theatrical prints for art houses and festivals etc I propose this site and it's forums become the DecrapifyThePrequels.com so we have a new cause rally behind and continue to moan about :-D

How about prequeltrilogy.com?

The purpose will be to discuss Padme's x-men like ability changing costumes form scene to scene. She could be a shapesifter ... and that means ... ... oh man, that circumstance changes the whole Prequel Trilogy!

...

...

...

Maybe not.

Did Anthony Daniels realize the Prequels suck?

Yes! He did.

I heard / read somewhere that the Obi-Wan dialogue with Yoda ("I gave Qui-Gon my word.") was shot on digital.

So i guess the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars in 2017 is our new/next hope?

This site shows some content from savestarswars.com:

Two explosions look very similar to me

I'm wondering if the destruction of the Hoth Energy Generator and the second Death Star use same the 'explosion effect'? 

Can someone confirm that?

So far i have zero interest in any of these upcoming Anthology movies.

It looks like Jake Lloyd suffers from schizophrenia:

The chase lasted for more than 25 miles before Lloyd drove off a motorway, ploughed through a fence and continued speeding along another local road.

Now this is NOT Pod-Racing!

The Emperor messed around with his Force Lightning and destroyed most of the Light bulbs in the Throne Room.

Even respected actors have to pay the bills. Sir Alec probably has a dog or two in his filmography.

 Sean Connery has Zardoz & Highlander 2: The Quickening.

Of all the wonderful films he took part in, the thread title has to mention his worst and least interesting role.
Shame.

Well, this is the Star Wars part of the forum ... 

 ... of originaltrilogy.com...
*shrugs* Meh.

Come on ... last time i checked originaltrilogy.com was not founded to bash & hate everything about the Prequels (sure those movies have their flaws). In this case - the death of Christopher Lee - I guess we can all admire one of the few things that were actually good.

RIP Christopher Lee

"Always two there are." - The concept of only two Sith at a time

This is just baffling. I mean the Master always has to be on the lookout because his apprentice will try to overthrow him some day, right? That's a great way for an opposing faction to cooperate. And this extinct-for-1000-years stuff is too far fetched. Imagine generations of two Sith Lords debating in hiding about when is the right time to reveal themselves.

"Hey Darth Random, how long do we have to wait to reveal ourselves? I made this awesome lightsaber and i wanna kill some jedi!"

"Patience my young apprentice. We, the Sith, disappeared 500 years ago. Let's wait another 500 years to trick the Jedi into thinking we won't show up any more."

"Waiting sucks."

Make it a hundred years and it feels more comprehensible about a bunch of evil guys slowly infiltrating the Republic.

The Jedi Starfighters

I understand that GL wanted to foreshadow the shape of the OT Stardestroyers. The Episode II Jedi Starfighter was okay. But in Episode III they also implemented the Tie Fighter-like cockpit & extendible wings which made no sense at all. It's the unscheduled child of a Stardestroyer and a Tie-Figher - 1. It looks forced & dumb. 2. The extended wings block the pilots view to the left & right side.

Placement of R2 Units within Prequel Starfighters

Another design flaw. GL wanted to have Astro-Droids in the Prequels but his choosen starship designs made a meaningful placement of R2 units absolutely impossible. Take a look at the Naboo Starfighter when R2 is in there. It looks like R2's legs were detached from his body to fit inside the designated port. And let's not forget the "awesome" R2 Unit Eject Function of the Episode III Starfighters.

It would take too long, and they don't have the budget to clear up the legal issues for it. Not to mention straightening out the political issues which are a bigger.

 Will you defer your motion to allow a commission to explore the validity of your accusations? ;-)

Some guy wants to make a Documentary about the Prequels. The Ring theory thing seems to be a part of it.

No, we live in a world where the people who worked on the '97 SE read the books. If Corucsant in the '97SE was already a PT reference, then why did they have to alter it in 2004 to make it a PT reference?

 I doubt in '97 the look of the city (better, of the Jedi temple and the Senate) was completed or definitive. They were added to make it more recognizable.

But after the Fall of the Jedi Order why would the Emperor let the Jedi temple remain intact? Shouldn't he say something like:

"This temple is a bad place! We will tear it down so that the evil evil evil Jedi will never return!"

Boba Fett and the Colon of Doom

Synopsis: After he fell into the Pit of Carcoon the infamous Bounty Hunter Boba Fett discovers a hideous plot that could change the Fate of the Galaxy forever. Can Boba Fett escape the deathly traps of the thousands of years old alimentary tract to save the galaxy?

I hope Disney will somehow retcon the Jango Fett / Kamino Origin of our beloved Bounty Hunter.

Let's celebrate one of the most insidious marketing slogans:

"The individual DVDs will be taken off the market on Dec. 31..."

We're not ever going to get our hopes up for a release or news about it, and neither should anyone else.

These rumors are just that and nothing more. If it never happens, it was not meant to be.

There will be enough alternatives to replace it.

Ok hopes are now permanently dropped.

It's not worth getting a token Subpar barebones release of the OOT, because it deserves much more comprehensive treatment. In the end, it would be better to get nothing from them

 Uh, no.

 This.

 This.

The people on that forum seem pretty deeply disturbed.

The same goes for these guys:

It was just confirmed that first standalone SW film, Rogue One, will be about a band of Rebels stealing the plans of the first Death Star. 

 Kyle Katarn stole the Death Star plans!
