For my part, I don't agree that "NOOOOO!" destroyed ROTS, let alone the whole SW saga. All I thought was that it was a little weak, and should have been more like a primal scream. But the documentary is still funny, using that as a larger symbol of all that has gone wrong.

I also don't feel (like most people do) that Jar Jar destroyed TPM. Its flaws run far deeper than that, and Jar Jar wasn't even the worst symptom.

All the scenes toward the end of AOTC with the digital Threepio really make me cringe. I love Threepio, but that was too much. The flying Artoo irritates me, too. Apart from this and the stilted love scenes, I enjoy most of that film.

Ewoks... well, I don't hate them, but I do agree they were the weakest point in ROTJ.

And the Boba Fett cartoon in the Holiday Special is the weak point in that film - the one thing that really prevented it from being the 100% complete crapfest it was meant to be. Such a shame they had to include that part.

I didnt know the darth vader NOOOOOOOOOOOO! destroyed the entire credibility of SW.

On a side note, some say the Ewok battle destroys the credibility of SW.(sigh) I guess I have to not like Jedi to be a respected voice (it was better than the PT)

Mark Hamill, who hasn’t yet seen the new edition, has editorial ideas of his own. He wishes Lucas would reinstate a deleted opening sequence, which pictured Luke in a Tatooine hangout with his pilot pal Biggs Darklighter. (It’s described in Lucas’ 1976 novelization but was cut and hasn’t been resurrected for the reissue; another Biggs scene later in the movie has been reinstated.) “Biggs eventually gives up his life to enable Luke to enter the Death Star,” says the 44-year-old actor, who now appears in CD-ROM games such as Wing Comander 3. “The heroism of that act would be accentuated if that introduction was still in.”.

Thanks for taking the time to type that, Jenny. It reminded me of one thing I'd forgotten: the original planned release dates of the PT ('99/'01/'03). I'm not sure I'd describe Natalie Portman as exotic, but there you are. And they considered 36,000 child performers and still chose Jake Lloyd???

I've always defended and praised freedom of speech, and let's not mix up both. It's like the analogy I've done with suicide. Like, take that live TV suicide by that north american politician, Budd something. Later that day some TV stations broadcasted the whole thing, some showed only a few scenes, some refused to air any images of it. Why? Because it serves no point. That's what I was trying to say...

Post these in the "contacts" thread in General Star Wars discussion. I've wondered about Kevin Smith. I wonder if he would want to help, or would know anyone in Hollywood who can?

We need to find some way to REALLY bring the pressure down on him, though, and I can't think of anything.

I don't dislike Empire. I watch it every few years, but it's not something I'm going to worry about getting a proper version of.

Return is ridiculous. Lucas had already started to ruin Star Wars by then and I sure as hell don't need an anamorphic version of this trash....
