You don't even know half the story.


mind telling us? I for one, would be interested to hear.

Ok, maybe they passages would have been closed up, thats very likely, greencapt's explanation satisfied me, but at the time it was attacked DSII was more vunerable than DSI, everyone that has 'defended' the corridors has basically said this. Because it was still under construction it was more vunerable, because it was more vunerable the Empire had a shield on it.

The dual death star thing doesnt bother me, it was more of the fact that it didnt seem the Empire learned anything and protected it any better that bother(s/ed) me about it. So it had a shield on a base that didnt really seem to take much to destroy, once that was gone it was totally defensless save the Fleet surrounding it. Did they do anything to the DS itself to prevent an attack from small fighters? (save the temporary shield that was inplace during construction) it didnt appear so.

Put both Death Stars out in the middle of space with nothing to protect them, or maybe jut themselves to protect them. as they were when they were destroyed, the 2nd one would be easier to destroy as if your willing to sacrafice yourself you can destroy it with no missles, the first takes a very skilled pilot to fire a very precise shot into a very small hole.

The empire was just sloppy on the Death Star II's construction...like Luke told the Emperor "You're overconfidence is your weakness" and guess what, it was oh so true.

-Darth Simon


?????? THE SECOND DEATH STAR WAS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION Perhaps once it was complete it would have been much more difficult to destroy. Also you saiidthey just left out there in the middle of nowhere with nothing to protect it. THEY HAD A SHEILD GENERATOR AROUND IT AND THE ENTIRE IMPERIAL FLEET WAS NEAR BY TO DEFEND IT Just how would you go about constructing a Death Star without having it as vulnerable as it was(during construction)? And please remember the Emperor left it open to attack on purpose, as a trap for the rebels.

Well, it doesn't bother me. Darth Simon, DSII was attacked before it was completed not after, maybe when completed DSII would not have had the weak spot that DSI had. I
think the corridors or openings, I believe once the DSII was completed these would have be eliminated. Also remember to make up for this weakness, the empire had a shield
protecting it. One last question, what is more vulnerable DSI which only took a squadron of X-Wings to bring down, or DSII which took the whole rebel fleet?, and which attack
caused more rebel deaths?

A revised opinion of George Lucas

Over the weekend my opinion of Mr lucas changed, and this is why - In 1999 I painted a portrait of a friend of mine playing his guitar. The painting is one of the best I have ever done, but was painted in a limited time period of 20 hours (five 4-hour sittings) and as a result of this restriction there were some bits I wasn't happy with. One of the things that really bugged me was that the perspective on one of the sitter's shoulders was wrong. This weekend, more than 6 years after the painting was originally completed, I started to put together an updated portfolio (I am an Ilustrator by trade) and I wanted to include what I considered to be one of my best pieces, but I didn't want to include the faults, so I took a high res photograph of the portrait, loaded it into photoshop and got to work rescaling the messed up perspective, painting out and touching up other area that bothered me, and after 5 hours of digital tinkering I had an image that I was really really pleased with. I must point out that I didn't use any photoshop filters or gadgets, I simply resized some areas to get the proportions right and used the paintbrush tools to touch it up a bit, but my point is this - yes, George Lucas should release the O-OT (The arguments for why he should do this have been made elsewhere and I don't need to repeat them), but I for one can fully understand being an artist who, unhappy with the work, decides to fix it with the help of technology that was not around or unavailable to him/her at the time the original art was created. My painting now lives up to my original vision and I consider it the definitive piece, the one that I will show people, the one that will be in my portfolio. I will not destroy the original, but I will no longer display it as I see it as inferior. You can resent Lucas' stubborness over releasing the O-OT (I do), but I will no longer call him mad, crazy, out of touch, LucASS, or any of that other crap. I also think that based on the various interviews / biographies, etc that I have seen, he seems like a very nice guy who's just doing his thing. Unfortunately his thing pisses off a lot of people, but from now on I will be giving him a break, and maybe some of you will too.


I'm curious. If your original paintings had become considered a masterpiece, a classic before you made your changes, would you then make these changes and refused to allow
anyone to see the original and pretend it no long exists? Would you force others to view your changed version instead of allowing people to choose for themselves?

Well it is partially ture. The good reviews made me realize that I was boycotting a good movie, not a bad one. But I say again it was not the fear of the EPIII being bad that caused the attemped boycott. It was the lack of an OOT DVD. Once I read the reviews the temptation increased, became too much, and to my shame I fell to the darkside. Fortunatly I have gone back to the good side.
