But most of them didn't. If you watch the scene closely, only a few of the stormtroopers see Han. Not to mention the whole Death Star was on alert for them anyway between levels 5 and 6. Also, the corridor was only so big so it probably took the clones a little time to file out single file once they all realized what was going on.

GENERAL GRIEVOUS confirmed
Time
Now as far as Grevious, I love the idea actually. After all, Dooku can't be running around fighting everybody as the General. Not to mention, with thousands of Jedi running around still, I don't think it is realistic to think that just Dooku as a villian can get rid of him. It makes sense that Sidious would be using many people as his personal pawns in his climb to the ultimate power in the universe.

Changes in 2004 DVDs
Time
Exactly, plus there is so many good memories for watching the old movies and then the Special Edition and the prequals. I enjoyed it all, especially when I watched TPM alone without hearing any of the bit@@@ng about it and loved to watch it. Call me a Star Wars fanboy nut, but being I'm just trying to be honest.

Carrie Fisher vs Natalie Portman
Time
Cool. Not to mention, I like Mark at least a little more then Harrison Ford. Is it because Ford hasn't made good pictures after SW and IJ? No, what I really hate is exactly how he writes of being Han Solo. He acts like being Indiana Jones was what made him big. What a load of BS. If Tom Selleck hadn't been doing Magnum P.I., Harrison would be up sh@@ creek and he knows it. And my question is, if history had happened that way, you think he might have a little more respect for the character he played twice, and became famous from, before Indy even came along?

BOYCOTT (the 2004 OT SE DVD release)
Time
I would make this analogy. It is like taking the book, Return of the King, the third part of the Lord of the Rings. Now Tolkien plays more with the ending. Gandalf comes with Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry when they liberate the Shire. All the hobbits revolt upon the sight of the band and Gandalf beats Saruman in a fight between wizards, and then things stay like the original narrative with Frodo leaving and ending with Sam and his children. Now if you have read Return of the King and the chapter Scourging of the Shire or whatever it is exactly called, you know things were actually different in big ways. Now I am not saying the ROTJ SE changes the ending like that, I actually like the new ending better. But imagine Tolkien then says, "The ending I have now created for Return of the King was what I originally envisioned, everything written before were rough drafts in the process." And remember, the original LOTR books were released before Tolkien's new take on the book. And Tolkien NEVER wants the original versions of the books released again. Now if I disagree with that, am I treading on Tolkien's artistic rights or am I fighting for literary and historical preservation? That is about as simply as I can present this argument.

I think the meeting of the GL's would have been interesting, but we will never know. As for Jar Jar, I think the criticism of him has been overblown since the beginning. I think of him as a big dumb Ewok with ears, period. Did it make TPM more kid friendily? Sure, but I think the fact TPM is in an era of Star Wars history where things were the happiest and/or most peaceful before the Clone Wars and Empire, I therefore don't find it that bad. Just my two cents.

Can't stop clicking!!

I see, interesting. I am not totally concerned at this point because the longer there is no OT on DVD and especially when the SE-like SW releases by itself, I can guarantee that we will get a huge boost in signatures. And also consider, why it might only be 40,000 or so, it keeps increasing. And one day if we get to a 1,000,000 or some huge number like that, things will become even more obvious then they are.
