Adam you are not listening the evidence that Lucas wont CGI the Yoda and keep hoping he will but he wont I dont feel..

1. as posted on this very thread Coleman and Lucas have stated NUMEROUS times beforehand they are not touching the Yoda in Ep 5 6

2. Lucas was so impressed with the Yoda he tried to nominate the ESB Yoda(Frank Oz) for an Oscar, (will Lucas change his mind that dramtically)

3. People on here are long time fans of the franchise and I dont think one person has said even Lucas will go that far and CGI the Yoda.

4. Some of the older fans will be pissed off with Lucas if he does that,(that are on his side now)

5. The people who did the Yoda Stuart Freeborn and Frank Oz may be pissed with Lucas if he does that, and Oz has stuck with Lucas for 5 films.

My gut feeling tells me Lucas will release the Holiday Special before he CGIs the Yoda

I cant judge him on one film but he should not have been cast in the first place, they needed a more expericened actor I feel, I think O.H.M.S.S is a good Bond(though some dont like it), but when watching I cant help but feel you miss Connery, and do wonder what it would have been like with Connery there, and I would have prefered Pleasence to come back as Blofeld, as I though I think Telly Savalas did his usual good job, I felt Pleasence was much better Blofeld.

Its a shame Brosnan was a good Bond but he wasnt given the greatest material to work with all the time eg World is not Enough Die Another Day,

Dalton is probably the most underated Bond of the lot, and so are his two additions to the Bond series, he was better than Moore I feel, and those two films left some of Moore's Bond efforts in the shade.

Connery was the best Bond the only lesser one being Diamonds are Forever.

The Roger Moore era was a mixed bag from good ones like The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only and average ones like Live and Let Die Man wiith the Golden Gun(Chris Lee was great though) to even lesser efforts like Octopussy Moonraker and A View to a Kill.

Read an Amazon review in which a guy has claimed that the lightsabers have been fixed for this release, still not interested in it, is this an acknowledgment that they screwed up last time, and expect the fans now to shell again for a corrected version,

I have also have no real interest in a "saga" boxset unless George does some alterations on Episodes 1 & 2(no interest in having multiple copies) and the bonus disc is crammed full of unseen material epescailly original trilogy stuff)( the bonus disk usually ends up on e-bay eventually anyway.).

The more I think about, Qui-Gonn is a fair idea as long as long as it done properly and Luke does think who is that bloke with Anakin Obi Wan and Yoda (and Liam is acting and its not other footage etc) but Mace or any of the rest of his Jedi Posse is overkill, my big objection and Commander Courage will disagree is Padme, that would for me stretch realms of believeablity and is too convient a happy ending

There are reports from various Superman themed websites that Warner Bros and Ilya Salkind have negoiated a deal for the release of the Richard Donner unused footage from Superman 2 This would allow for the creation of a long awaited Superman 2 Directors Cut...............................................The idea behind of this of course is that Warner wants to release new (Special Edition) DVD Editions of 2,3,4 in conjuction with the DVD or thetrical release of Superman Returns..............

So true, that goes for me, straight to the heart of problem with the CG in the SEs and in parts of the Prequels.

Yeah, I knew about that being in Chewie's profile, but I want profiles for the rest of his family as well. That's what I meant. Actually, there are several other EU places his family appears (The Han Solo Trilogy, Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy, Chewnacca comics, New Jedi Order). So, they wouldn't have to just discuss the HS in their profile.

That will never happen, that will be as good as it gets, as Lucas has disowned The Holiday Special, and in turn because of it will never appear on the official site(if it did or anything else more appears, I am sure George will be pissed off and people will get a tounge lashing)

No Padme (we might as well chuck in Jar Jar as with Padme not force trained)

Right, that's why I said Qui-Gon would appear after Luke and Leia rejoin the party. And with Padme, can everyone see where I'm coming from with that?

I was reading on another thread Neeson wants nothing to do with LFL so only way is if Lucas uses his computers, and that be ominious for the execution and quality of the ghost effect.

Yes, there are so many yes men and asskissers over there, you could replace Sir Alec Guinness with George Bush as the ghost of Obi Wan and some of these idiots will say what a great change it is and make up a reason for the change.

I have to say, I have had it. I am about to give up, and really not care anymore. Lucas has ruined the myth of Star Wars, and you have so many PT defenders who like Star Wars for all the wrong reasons. We were the generation who supported Star Wars and brought it to prominence, and now Lucas spits on us. The PT has ruined the spirit of Star Wars because everyone is fighting and barking at each other, instead of defending

I really never thought I would feel this way, but unless the O-OT comes out on DVD, Lucas will not get anymore of my money. That will that hurt his empire, no, not one person can do that, but I know it wont make a difference, but for me personally, I am saying peace out to Star Wars. I have my fondest memories from 77-83, and I will ALWAYS WATCH AND LOVE those movies, but I am done caring what Lucas does. There is only so much a person can take, before they say 'Peace out'

I too wish some of time it ended in 1983 (I have to admit going on this place gives me some enthusiam to carry on liking SW)

I partly agree the last couple of Bonds have been utter crap, It should return to the Connery era style bonds eg From Russia with Love type stories or the Dalton era style Bonds, not the yawnfests that were Die another Day and The World is not Enough if the new ones gonna be like those two dont bother, put 007 into retirment for a few more years.

I dont mind Lucas making tons of cash he deserves it for the hard work he puts in his films, but its way it sometimes stoops so low and is a blantant attempt to make easy cash eg, marketing toilet paper, bowling tournaments,appearing on TV shows to advertise a DVD, re-releasing the same boxset with a different cover within months etc. I see nothing wrong with action figures and toy spaceships and some books etc, but even they take that too far to make more easy cash

With the O-O-T would it hurt George to release it for two/three months or a limited number 500,000/1,000,000 copies as a reward for the people that have stuck by Lucas and Star Wars for over 25 years, if you didnt pick or get it, tough luck(which would not surely compromise his "Vision" for the Star Wars Universe).

surely its got to be a British or Irish actor, the papers and some fans over here will probably kick up a right stink if its a non-British or non-Irish Bond after all Lazenby wasnt too popular I seen papers over here moaning that Bond wasnt gonna be driving a british made car in one of the films ?.

Star Wars has always been about the merchandising my man - are you old enough to remember C3PO's?

I agree that I am sick and tired of endless waves of...stuff. I mean, what kind of world do we live in where a Yoda costume for a dog is available, but not a set of the original trilogy on DVD. And I swear I'm not making that dog costume thing up. It's scary...in a cute kind of way.

Now, if there was a pirate or ninja costume for a dog I'd be all over that like Star Jones on a butter croissant.

Next up the Star Wars bowling set

From theforce.net

The Star Wars Strike Force Bowling Leagues are getting underway this fall, with a pair of exclusive Star Wars collectable Package: One includes a SW bowling ball, SW bowling bag and award certificate and the other includes a Darth Vader Standee 6 movie posters and a cap. Look out for the flyers in Sundays paper, which includes coupons and vouchers..

My sibs and I are on this. Just started last night. As I said in my earlier post, there is a big difference between merchandising and whoring. And I want my Darth Vader bowling ball!

As a U.K Star Wars fan, I am embarrassed, Star Wars bowling tournaments are coming to the U.K next year (read it on the official site)

I have to honest after the events of the last few days, Lucas will never release it now and the reissuing of the 2004 set has confirmed this for me.I am gonna treasure my unofficial sets even more now and still get unofficial versions.

I think something should be done somehow to make people aware the O-O-T is still out there around, abeit un-officialy, through fan editors ebay etc but the sounds of the posts i read elsewhere they dont seem to know this and will hold out for the vain hope rather go for next best thing and some I feel are fooling themselves that Lucas will cave in and dont want to go unoffical even for the slight quality drop ,

Thats because there are idiot fanboys who want to flame and wind up other sections of the fanbase, the younger ones are the worse they take this piss out of the older fans eg(one idiot on theforce.net taking the piss out of the O-O-T and saying he hopes these fans are treasuring their dusty crumpled VHS( if he had half a brain he would reliase there are ways to get it not officialy) and Lucas makes many more changes so they will cling on to it till to it wears out, an actual post) and the mods did fuck all and let wars go on.

Signed up ages ago but I have ever only posted twice on the place because of what I have observe, you cant cristise or have a proper adult opinion on Lucas the SE and Prequels without some fanboys getting distrugled and starting an argument.
