I'm watching, saw the pilot way back. It's not awesome but it's got enough to keep me watching.

Even though it ignores T3 for the most part it has included T3 themes, mostly the fact that they only managed to postpone events.

To me it doesn't even feel like it fits with T2 but I'll keep watching...for now.

You really shouldn't be asking us.

So, I guess I should buy a PS3, huh.

I really can't tell if you are being sincere or sarcastic. I wouldn't, But hey, It's your money...In any case, you should look at everything that's available to you and decide for yourself. Don't be a hater, Just be happy with what you've got.

In terms of Bluray. If you steer clear of 1.0 profile you SHOULD be okay. As far as I know you can't go from 1.0 to 2.0 outside of PS3.

I know I'm probably in the minority but I really hope Bluray loses. I really can't stomach the thought of Sony being in control. But I guess we'll just see how things pan out.

The best news I've heard all day, It looks like you've hit the mark afterall. Enjoy the calm before the storm. I predict that once people have access to Star Wars: Revisited this place is going to be on fire.

I propose we celebrate Jan 17th [Or possibly 16th - what time is it in the UK?]as Adywan Appreciation Day Who's with me?

Anchorheads unite.

It would be nice if you could be patient and just wait it out with us. He's been talking about setting up the dvd structure so it shouldn't be too far away.

If memory serves he also said that the remaining shots were going to take a while due to complexity and other encoding matters. Ady has spent a long time getting this right and should take the time to get it done right.

After 8 months I really don't think that will be enough to satisfy the masses. Hopefully more satisfying than season 3 where we got 6 lackluster episodes and then a 3 month hiatus.

Maul being Grievous gives Grievous some depth, and makes him not so much of a throwaway character. It would also show that Palpatine has a history of resurrecting his apprentices and putting them in mechanical suits.

I think that would make it weaker. The first time I saw AOTC I was really enjoying watching Dooku. I kept wondering whether he had a lightsaber and would use any Jedi abilities...But then when he casually threw out some Sith lightning I wasn't happy. It just took away what I loved from the climax of ROTJ.

And by the way...Dooku WAS misled. although as shocked as he looked he didn't vocally protest when Sidious told Anakin to decapitate him.

Remember, Sidious was on a quest to obtain the power he needed. If he had access to everything form the start he'd have no need to mess with theatrics.

How do you explain all those ppl watching FOTR right before seeing TTT then? To refresh their memory maybe? I get what you are saying but your comments actually back up the Director statements you seem upset with.

No that was done for...or at least used for one of the comics. I can't remember the title but Maul somehow tracked Obiwan to Tatooine set sometime between the trilogies IIRC

I say yes mostly because General Grievous couldn't be any worse than he ended up being.

Cough Jar jar binks cough.

It could have been far worse, I get what you are saying though.

Okay, As cool as it would be to see I have to vote NO for 2 major reasons.

Firstly you all seem to ignore that Darth Maul was also a throwaway Villain. A pawn. He failed in his mission and yet Sidious [In the guise of Palpatine] came out on top and acheived his main goals. The same goes for both GG and Dooku but People seem to like Maul a whole lot more, Probably cuz he kept his mouth shut most of the time...

WHY would Sidious bother putting the effort into rebuilding Maul? What he now needed was
1 - A charismatic leader for the CIS [dooku]
2 - A Military Leader for the CIS [GG]
3 - Someone who could bring down the Jedi order from the inside [Anakin]

Darth Maul could fill none of these roles.

Secondly the two characters have nothing in common as far as I can tell. GG bears no similarity to Maul at all...
- He's always talking
- He relies on other to get the job done
- HE IS A COWARD
- His lightsaber tactics leave a lot to be desired.

Do you see any of those traits in Maul?

Plus i don't think it can be done convincingly - his eyes aren't even the same shape or size.
