Anakin could dream about Natalie Portman's bathing scene in Your Highness. ;)

As it's not a Ridiculous edit without an annoying overplayed popular song...

I can imagine hearing this playing over Padme's funeral and the rest of the finale. ;)

From what I've read, the initial expense of upgrading is pretty steep for small independent revival houses, whose bread and butter are old movies.

The upside of digital projection is the technical problems that plagued 3D in the old days are moot. Still keeping my fingers crossed the studios reissue a classic 3D film or two.

I saw first High Sierra on a Pan Am flight circa 1982. They were celebrating some anniversary by showing films that actually were shown to passengers on their famous clipper seaplanes back in the day.

Thanks to Raiders, I actually knew what kind of plane they were talking about. ;)

Settle down, Veruca.

I went to the encore of Rifftrax Live: Plan 9 From Outer Space tonight. The "slideshow" that plays before the presentation was chock full of funny quotes and such. A quote from Tommy Wiseau was immediately followed by the "I hate sand" line. Coincidence?

As Nute is dead by that point, he's going to have to say it as a ghost. ;)

Could have sworn I suggested the same thing. ;)

It would be a good callback to TRM if she names the babies after Nute Gunray.

This also the last opportunity for Mace to utter this famous (cleaned up for TV) line. Substituting "sith" for snakes and "senate" for plane?

Only four months till the 30th anniversary. ;)

It was used for one shot of Spock on Vulcan in Star Trek IV.

Those are amazing! The last one ought to be in a Bond film someday...

If only Grievous could be replaced with Maximillian!

Mixing in classic BSG sounds like a great idea too.

The medical scene with Padme could have classic Trek sickbay sound effects. (I have the Trek sound effects CD with this.) One of the medical monitors could read "Life insurance remaining" or "Will to live remaining." Also "Heart Status:Broken"?  Revoice the medical droids with Dr. McCoy and Nurse Chapel?

Since Padme is probably really medicated, she could give really goofy names to the twins?

I had the really out there idea of Grievous' personal fighter being the Winnebago from Spaceballs. (Or replace Bail Organa's Tantive with it?) That way Obi Wan can fly it to Tatooine at the end of the movie and crash it. "Not good!"

Yoda communing with Qui Gon could be "restored" with nonsensical Liam Nesson dialog?

Yoda's departure from Kashyyk could be rescored with music from E.T.

Yoda's arrival on Dagobah could be used with a long bleeped out curse when he surveys the slimy mudhole he's stuck on for the next twenty years.

Let's be honest. =P

That doesn't preclude background plates being shot on locations around the world.

Ye gods, Bingowings! Get out of my head! ;)

I thought Jefferson Starship from the HS would work there too...

The movies haven't gotten into what happens to the dead too much. Are there massive cemeteries from the Clone Wars on the planets where clones fell? Are there ornate ancient Jedi tombs on forgotten worlds?

You could easily bluesreen the windows and use the interior though. (Lando's personal hideaway?)  Vasquez Rocks was used for Vulcan in Trek '09 with a lot of CGI tweaking. The movie used a lot more real locations and interesting buildings than most people realize.

Lest we forget, the Lars' moisture farm is a real hotel in Tunisia. ;)

I admit I chuckled when Zordon's HQ turned up on a Star Trek TNG episode though.

I just can't take Colin Baker, with his white man fro, fat face, and clown costume seriously. 

Didn't they tone down the costume for a Who stage play Colin did?

A movie about the beginnings of the show? What a cool idea!

Vasquez Rocks is probably my favorite movie location. It's famous for the Kirk vs. Gorn fight in Star Trek of course.

There's a cool house in L.A. they could use, if people have forgotten it was in Body Double. ;)

Airplane! love theme when Padme and Anakin reunite.

When Yoda walks into Palpatine's senate chamber office, the red Royal Guards could speak in the Black Knight's voice. "None shall pass!" just before Yoda knocks them silly. As they lie on the floor "All right, we'll call it a draw."

One thing that's long bugged me is how the guards are noticeably absent when Mace confronts Palpatine. Is there way to have them there but not give a damn about what's happening? Maybe they are snoring loudly? There is a shot of them leaving the room in Jedi, but I don't know if that would work  here.

I thought it was a missed opportunity not to do a movie or series about the Enterprise under Captain Pike. There was a short lived comic (thanks to fickle Paramount licensing) that was pretty darn good.

Star Wars was locked into having "origin" stories the minute "Episode IV" was added to the crawl.

Backwards compatibility? Not every film in existence has been digitized yet. One film projector equipped screen out of a ten screen multiplex is a modest investment. Although the lack of people who know how to run them may make it a moot point.

The new format is already causing problems with film festivals that often have last minute scheduling changes of venue. The encryption keys are apparently very time sensitive.

Has anybody peeked in the windows of older theaters to see if the film projectors were left in place?

Sadly, the newest theaters don't even have film projectors as far as I can tell.

Then don't go see it.

Don't give them any new ideas!

He wrote Armageddon along with four other guys. You can't blame the whole movie on him.

How many times are we going to rehash bash Trek '09 in this thread? Let's see how the sequel turns out before we start scraping the Star Trek Lives sticker off the car bumper, shall we? ;)
