Will the ForceCast this week say, "McQuarrie was a guy who drew exactly what George told him straight from George's mind"?
My guess...
ForceCaster: "While Ralph McQuarrie's death is sad, every cloud has a silver lining. Now ILM can alter those original paintings to better illustrate George Lucas's brilliant original vision. Huzzah!"
Sad news indeed. Without his wondrous work, I truly believe Star Wars would have turned out a lot worse. RIP

George was a TREKKER the whole time.
So that is the reason why Voyager is so awful.

Nerd Boner Achieved.
The Musical Commentary is great too.
Star Wars is opiate of the Internet.

Best Villain: The Emperor - because the prequels didn't ruin him.
I take it you haven't seen the Yoda/Emperor fight in ROTS then? Or the Mace/Emperor fight? Or the aftermath of that fight? Or...ah hell, basically the entire second half of ROTS?
Not denying any of those points.
For me, only the Mace/Sidious fight sucks some of the coolness from his character. What with the "Unlimited Power" remark. But I've always enjoyed the Yoda vs. Emperor fight. Which is my favorite lightsaber duel from the prequels.

Someday I will invent a web browser that can automatically convert any instance of Luca$ to Lucas, and I will be rich. Rich, I tells ya!
Seriously, Luca$ is nearly as played out as the raping of the childhood.
Greedy bastard!

I wonder sometimes what people who became fans because of the 1997 Special Editions think about their trilogy getting overhauled/updated out of existence...
Look up a couple of fellows named Beast and Bluyoda over on the http://forum.blu-ray.com/ - they love each and every update.
Because newer is clearly better.
Still love Star Wars, just not in love with it.

Especially if the David Fincher/Morgan Freeman version could get off the ground.

2. The Odyssey
Due to my man-crush on Sean Bean, I've always thought a follow-up film to Wolfgang Petersen's Troy would have been cool. I really liked Bean's portrayal of Odysseus, and I thought an entire film chronicling his adventures home would have made for a pretty enjoyable film.
Oh my yes.
*Hangs Head in Shame*
That's it.
Add a montage of Padme meeting Anakin on Tatooine when she is "giving up on life" in ROTS.
Its learned to mimic human emotions from the early nineties!
He's like the nerd that got picked on in High School. But instead of bringing a gun to class, he decided to become a supervillain.
