Ah, you obviously forgot of an important economical factor related to the continuous increase of Star Wars memorabilia prices, called the "my-mom-throwed-it-away" factor. This annoying circustance can be found in other events such as comic book collections, toys collections, and specially at porn magazine collections.


I think it's still in my parents loft. I got load of old Star Wars shit up there. Ships in boxes and alot of old toys, and stuff like that.
When I get a bigger house, there will be a shrine to Star Wars

One of the best examples I have seen of taking really poor quality video and what can be done with it - my Mum was wrong, it appears that sometimes you can polish a turd - Well Zion can anyway.
IMHO, there is no point getting any other version until the official release - period.


And how do we get this version?

Actually that's not quite right
Again, over at Hyperspace celebration 3 web doc thingy, someone asked a question about the live tv show. Lucas' reply was, that like Young Indy, he wants the whole season script written out first, give it a jump start, then leave it to others to finnish it off.

But IMO Sith was great, so Lucas isn't all that bad. Also I thought Young Indy was a boring pile of crap, so a TV SW is not a 'woo hoo' in my books at the moment.

When was "A New Hope" mentioned?

Well actually that's not quite true

Being a sad twat I am, I just listed to Lucas' interview thing he done at Celebration 3 over at Hyperspace.
Someone there asked him something like "when did you all have the story's planned?" and GL's reply was that he really only had 4-6 planned. Well it was one big story at first.
He never really wanted to make the PT, and that it started at 4 to make it look like the Saturday matinee serial. Although we know that Episode 4 was never mentioned at fist....
Only until Jurassic park was made, he then realised the effects were up to standard to make his story...the rest you know.

Well something like that.

But yeah, he does tend to change the story with every interview …

I see what you're saying, I'm just saying that I think he used the force to hide his true identity.
Yeah, over time, using the dark side may has disfigured his face, but it his still his true face. How old is he???
The face of Palpatine the senator was just a cover up....I think.

I don't really know

But I do think we're seeing Palpatine revert to his true form. A few points to consider:

* The "deformed" excuse is his cover when he addresses the senate, which is clever as it has the added side-effects of generating sympathy for him and hatred toward the Jedi. I don't think that was there as an explanation for the viewers.

* If Palpatine's appearance were truly the result of being injured, why on earth is it symmetrical? His head and features are totally symmetrical from what I can see. That's not an injury.

* Throughout the first and second movies, there is repeated mention that the dark side clouds the vision of the Jedi. I believe that Palpatine has harnessed some dark side power that allows him to project a false image of himself and hide in plain sight. The Jedi can sense it (a phantom menace) but they can't figure out what it is.

* During his fight with Windu (which I believe Sidious doesn't forfeit on purpose), he is becoming fatigued and drained and that ability to maintain the facade goes away.

* The change in the appearance of his eyes are a result of injury?

* The prequels have this consistent mirror image/duality thing going on. Characters are not always what they seem. Think of Padme and her double in the first and second films. Being deformed and injured doesn't play into that duality theme; having two distinct appearances does.

I see your point, but explanations that have been around longer than the movie don't really hold anymore. Boba Fett for example had a whole different history untill episode 2 came out.
I don't really know the answers, but I still think he was using the force to conceal his true self.
I mean, soon after he killed mace, he got up and acted like everything was ok. If he was in pain, or his face fucked up because of what just happened, wouldn't he have said something?

I dunno


I may have missed your point!!lol

or he was using the dark side to hide his true face. I mean, who you gonna trust to rule the senate? Some fucked up eveil looking dude? Or a kind looking middle aged man??

The line "I can't hold it much longer, I'm to weak" kind of gives it away!!

I've had to explain that to numerous people since waching the film!

Unless you're all joking, then ha ha... I think some people on here are lacking a real sense of humour!!!
