This was the only thing I noticed on first glance:

Just a reminder that I've got cutlists that may be of use for this. See linky in my sig.

I mean, having been a 13 year old boy once, it would terrify me to see Michael Jackson reaching out to me. I'd think he was trying to grab my dinky.
I'd be more worried about my Frinky.

The Emperor is dead and suddenly stormtroopers are crowd surfing on Coruscant amidst fireworks.
That stormtrooper wasn't crowd surfing; he was being thrashed by an angry mob sick and tired of Imperial repression!
I'm gonna guess that was a joke.
Scratch that, I just read a little closer. Never mind.

A spinster with a bunch of dogs?
When I was a kid, I thought of all dogs as male and cats as female.
My review on FE.org:
Imagine if you will, two talented editors.
The first, Adywan, takes the Star Wars Special Edition and actually makes it special. With the input and support of many others, he fixes color issues, cuts out misplaced humor, re-edits scenes, adds FX, and gives Star Wars fans a new experience to treasure for a lifetime.
The second, The Man Behind The Mask, is approached by film producer I.M. boon with a difficult task - to improve the original Star Wars. On a shoestring budget and with an insane deadline, TMBTM must fix Star Wars so it can be re-released for mass consumption on boon's extremely profitable website FE.org. boon requests that TMBTM use an old faded and scratched print of the original movie, as he claims he cannot afford to acquire the 2004 DVD. TMBTM is asked to add better music, add blood, fix Vader and R2, and put scenes back into the film that should never have been removed.
Working alone, TMBTM does his best, and boon declares on his website that it is the best version of Star Wars that ever was or will be. He even goes so far as to claim that after seeing his version, no one will ever watch Adywan's version again.
Imagine boon's shock and horror when he learns that people love the film, but for all the wrong reasons. They chuckle at the blood. They laugh at Vader and R2. They giggle at the music. They ridicule the film quality. They shake their heads at the usage of a fan film and an interactive VHS game. The film is an unmitigated failure, boon is ruined, and TMBTM goes back to working on horror films.
In truth, TMBTM is a brilliant faneditor. This movie worked for me on so many levels, I can see watching this many times in the future. I especially loved the music choices and the new Vader, as well as the twists at the end. I find myself thinking of this as an Intentional Unintentional Comedy. My only disappointment is that the ending implies we won't ever get to see The Striking Back of the Empire...but I say it has to be done. I'm sure a solution could be found - death doesn't mean anything in a soap opera. Let's see it, TMBTM!
Thanks for this. 10/10

Janskeet said:What about his music videos? What format were those in back then?
Television. Back then the music channels actually played music videos. You'd turn on MTV and it would be video after video (there was some other programming too, but lots of videos).
Sorry to dig up an old thread and also quote a banned member, but I just couldn't help myself.
I laughed for about 10 minutes at Janskeet's question. Once I stopped, I realized the joke was on me - I now feel 1,000 years old.

Heh heh. I usually skim over the skyjedi2005 Repeated Wall of Text (TM) so I happened to miss that little nugget. Thanks :-)

Nice nuts.
A few years ago I suffered a terrible loss that I have trouble even talking about. My thoughts are with you Adywan.

You do realize that the reason this is perceived as being awful even before a minute of footage has been shown is because Lucas ruined both star wars and indiana jones, right?
I know this has been discussed to death, and I really hate myself for even typing this, but I can't help it...
Lucas didn't ruin IJ. Just pick a stopping point (2,3, or 4, depending on your taste) and pretend the newer ones never existed.
You can certainly make the case that Lucas ruined SW. But there are also ways to watch the Original Trilogy in a reasonable approximation of the Original Versions.
I really hate that I typed this.

Did you watch the link, skyj? It's a joke.
Heh heh. I "watched the link" and the name of the link told me it was a joke. However, I did not watch the video.
Belgium! I really need that "delete post" button.
Hmmm....
Johnson!

how much do you want to bet he'll turn the Star Wars movies into 3D, say that this is how he originally intended to do them, and refuse to release them in their original 2D form ever again.
You must be too young to remember the 1D versions. Why isn't there a petition for those to be released?
Dear hot.like.CP3S,
I know you're here. I can hear you typing.
Alarmingly Yours,

Belgium! Post deleted!
Belgium!
Stole this from another site but it's a good point:
NBC traded Conan O'Brien and $40 million for Jimmy Fallon. After all its transactions involving evening talk shows, the net is that Jay Leno is back at the same place (most likely with lower ratings due to all the changes and bad press), Conan is gone and Fallon is in the slot O'Brien initially vacated.
Well that's just plain silly.
Incidentally, when you think about it, "silly" is a pretty silly sounding word. What if we said "biscuit" instead of "silly?" I'm guessing there would be less silliness to go around.
Actually, "biscuit" sounds pretty silly too. Maybe "penis" is a better example.
Best Thread Ever!
EDIT: Worst Thread Ever!
EDIT: Worst Thread Ever, but I like the new Wampa!
BONUS DELETED SCENE EDIT: Someone appears to have missed the point of this thread.
EDIT: Can't wait for The Post Strikes Back: Special Edition!
INTERACTIVE EDIT: Wow, my non-question was answered in the Special Edition of the Original Post. This thread is so much better than the boring Original Thread. And the new CG doesn't stand out at all - I swear it was in here the whole time.
BONUS DELETED SCENE EDIT: Someone cheated.
BONUS DELETED SCENE EDIT: Someone posted twice and therefore loses the thread!
BONUS DELETED SCENE EDIT: I'm hoping for more posts. Normally I'd bump this sucker, but then I'd be as bad as xhonzi.
BONUS DELETED SCENE EDIT: Nice to see a new post, but someone feels it unnecessary to amend his Original Vision.
EDIT: Perhaps I should now make a second post?
FOLLOW UP EDIT: I was so excited for THE POST STRIKES BACK: SPECIAL EDITION that I didn't even notice it was happening in this very thread.
BONUS DELETED SCENE EDIT: Someone is replacing edits instead of adding to them. I'm going to start originaledit.com so I can get those precious edits back.
EDIT: The Original Vision Post Trilogy is complete. I feel so empty inside.
EDIT: Holiday Special? I feel full inside.
EDIT: Suck it, Solo! Greedo too!
BONUS DELETED SCENE EDIT: Hi CP3S!
EDIT: It's lonely in here.

You watch commercials?
Not usually. But when I'm watching a live sporting event, there isn't much way around it. Sometimes I DVR the game, but then I have to make an effort to avoid finding out the score.
