Someone (Wook, Moth, or Anchor) please make this stop.

Seconded. 

As much as I'm open to other mindsets and viewpoints, and as much as I'm totally cool with all the prequel/special editions fans we have here providing their input and opinions, ans as much as I'm trying to be helpful and provide all the Star Wars knowledge I have in order to maybe answer some questions and explain any misunderstandings, this is grating on even me.

I dunno if I'm co-signing this, but holy shit my brain hurts in half these threads now.

What would Darth Vader have been like as a ruler, if he had overthrown emperor palpatine and became the emperor/ruler of the galaxy himself??

I've never seen anyone go off-topic as much as you, and I've seen the Off-Topic section of this site leak out onto here a hundred times. I would argue that in a thread about Darth Vader, Hayden Christensen is on-topic.

You very consistently and constantly bring up his apparent hot-ness as if it were the only thing that mattered about him; not his skill at acting or his fit in the role of Anakin, but the length of his hair and his looks are all very important to you and I wonder why you go that route over his skill as an actor.

When did The Empire Strikes Back become more highly regarded than Star Wars?

Mainly because it wasn't more of the same. I think it continued the story in a logical way. If you blow up the Death Star, you do not win for good, The Empire will come after you. It tells you what happens afterwards it isn't just Episode 4 with same characters, different villain. It is a logical continuation and I think it is the one of the greatest movies ever made. Granted, I like the first one a lot but I think this one is definitely my favorite but I guess that is just my preference.


What the hell was the point of blowing up the first death star anyways??? Why did the rebels steal the plans for it??


Not having your planet blown up seems like a fairly good reason.

 

I can agree with you on that, it may have very well been self defense, which in a war against evil mass-murderers, self defense is totally OK and morally good, right, and just; just think about the second world war........

Yes, this is 100% exactly the entire plot of Star Wars. There is no other alternative.

The second draft shortened it to just, "The Empire Strikes Back," which is saying the same thing. But then Lucas felt that the boxing idea was too real-world, so he changed it to a lightsaber match instead. Gary Kurtz suggested it would be better if he fought Luke instead of Darth Back, so that's where the climactic saber duel originated from. Darth Back was eventually cut down to a side character, and they even made prototype action figures of him, but his few scenes were all cut out. There have been bootleg prototype toys on eBay from time to time but none are authentic.

Sir Mix-a-Lot did the theme.

Not sure if I would want to see that happen...

...the super-hot good looking Hayden Christensen...

Why does this matter so much to you?

 

Also, I never thought the acting could be worse in the prequels, but the acting in that clip from the game was so much worse than anything in the films. Holy crap.
