Now if this don´t top all silly things!

This is absolutely mindbendingly stupid from the folks at Lucasfilm. This following text is actually from the Star Wars Shop which I guess is a part of the official Lucasfilm operation. Here we can see sales-text for the upcoming DVD editions and they ain´t beating around the bush here, they just about spoil EVERY big story element/surprise of the OT. Are they expecting ONLY people who´ve already seen the OT and the PT to buy this or what, don´t they expect new audiences to (rightly) begin their Star Wars experience by watching the OT since that keeps the most surprising story elements intact?? This is so incredibly stupid! This just goes to show that Mr.Lucas has TOTALLY lost the plot, made a mess of the whole storyarc and wants everybody to watch the films in the utterly boring numerical order and thus containing absolutely no surprises and interesting plot twists! You have to be told everything at least twice and shown everything right away. Oh how the mighty have fallen!

This is it:

"This four disc DVD features new commentary by George Lucas and cast and crew members, including director Irvin Kershner, actress Carrie Fisher, sound designer Ben Burtt and Industrial Light & Magic’s Dennis Muren. Disc 1, Episode IV A New Hope: Eighteen years later, Luke Skywalker, a young farmboy on Tatooine, is thrust into the struggle of the Rebel Alliance when he meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has lived for years in seclusion on the desert planet. Obi-Wan begins Luke’s Jedi training as Luke joins him on a daring mission to rescue the beautiful Rebel leader Princess Leia from the clutches of the evil Empire. Although Obi-Wan sacrifices himself in a lightsaber duel with Darth Vader, his former apprentice, Luke proves that the Force is with him by destroying the Empire’s dreaded Death Star."

“Disc 2, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back: Three years later Imperial forces continue to pursue the Rebels. After the Rebellion’s defeat on the ice planet Hoth, Luke journeys to the planet Dagobah to train with Jedi Master Yoda, who has lived in hiding since the fall of the Republic. In an attempt to convert Luke to the dark side, Darth Vader lures young Skywalker into a trap in the Cloud City of Bespin. In the midst of a fierce lightsaber duel with the Sith Lord, Luke faces the startling revelation that the evil Vader is in fact his father, Anakin Skywalker.”

“Disc 3, Episode VI Return of the Jedi: In the epic conclusion of the saga, the Empire prepares to crush the Rebellion with a more powerful Death Star while the Rebel fleet mounts a massive attack on the space station. Luke Skywalker confronts his father Darth Vader in a final climactic duel before the evil Emperor. In the last second, Vader makes a momentous choice: he destroys the Emperor and saves his son. The Empire is finally defeated, the Sith are destroyed, and Anakin Skywalker is thus redeemed. At long last, freedom is restored to the galaxy.”

Can u believe this shit?

This isn't a line, per say.

But in ROTJ when Han is running from the shield generator yelling "Move!" and jumps down on the ground some few meters away from it.
Then it cuts back to show a HUGE explosion, covering a great distance.
Cut back to Han who is just barley a few meters away, smiles, and dashes off.

Unintentionally hilarious.
