Wexter

He would probably abolish sand and ride on a giant flea on national holidays.

Other than that, he would be a pretty boring ruler, methinks.

Don't know about episode IX, but my sources with Disney tell me that Michael Bay is set to direct episode 7. We are in for an epic tale of love, CGI and explosions.

Also, Rolland Emmerich is in talks for episode 8. Kinda fitting since there is supposed to be an alien landing in the movie, which is pretty much his area. Also, Boomer the dog will make an appearance as Dewback #7.

Ok, a little update! DJ put some parts together today as a preview and uploaded it on myspleen.

Though he might remove it or update it later because it came out with a slight chroma shift again since this time it involved more render processes before encoding.

We're currently troubleshooting, but if you grab the preview it will still give you a good idea on the final look of our project.

Watched the preview. Obviously, this is gonna be epic, thanks for your work!

Unfortunately, this isn't actually feasible for a fanedit.

Thank you for sharing this, it was a terrific read. It gives a very good idea of how the movie could have looked like if Kurz stayed on board. 

And it also proves that the series could have had an awesome ending even when they decided to trash the sequel trilogy idea.

Sounds very interesting, looking forward to seeing how you will pull it off.

Absolutely, but you can do so much more. Go to the streets and spread the truth there. And, if possible, stay there :P

I think the newcomers here will get the idea with or without you.

People should stop focusing on my hyperbole and attack Lucas. What he did with the SE is unique and should not be done by anyone to a classic film.

To put it in perspective, did Orson Welles ever digitally insert the Beatles on the 25th anniversary rerelease of Citizen Kane, and insisted that it was his intention all the time back in 1941? Or did Alfred Hitchcock update the opening credits to Vertigo with 1990s CGI because it fit more with his vision in 1958, but was crushed by the lack of technological achievement back then? Or did Coppola withdraw the Godfather 30 years after its release, and replace it with a version which recasts all the main characters with the cast of the OC? The answer is no, and it is not a sign of mental illness to want the classic films preserved. 

The problem is that you are only repeating yourself. We get it and if we take out the deranged obsession, most of us feel the same, but what do you do to help this cause except for endless whining on some forum?

George Lucas, if you restore the OOT, we will sacrifice to you the surviving Beatles members. If you do it before General Frievous' next post, we will throw in all of The Rolling Stones just for the good measure.

Cuz it is just that important to our pop-culture...

The OT is so woven into to the fabric of culture so quickly that it is important to humanity as air and water.

I laughed...

and then I genuinely started to worry about your well-being. You cannot be for real. Take care and, if possible, stop being so disturbing.

That's great but would it be possible for Typho to state that he is in charge of the security (cannot remember the exact quote) just before the ship blows up?

Let me be the first to congratulate you on such an inspired thread title.

;-) <- winky

The Peek of Ep1 is great, although I almost expected Sidious to stutter and Qui-Gon to refer to the gas as "midiclorians". 

Thanks, Frink, you ruined the movie for me :-P

I loved the 20 minute rough cut! 

By the way, I think the factory scene is in a desperate need of "The Robots" by Kraftwerk!

^THIS

Or he is in fact an alien agent.

We just need to figure out how do free masons fit into it all...

Actually, he did exactly that. You see at all dates back to the 1960s when JF Kennedy was killed, when this idea occured to George Lucas. He was so inspired by the nationwide despair that he wanted his opus magnum to be at least equally disapointing. While you all are made to see the original trilogy and his earlier movies as George's idea of art, his artistical crusade is still going on with this slow and painful process of destroying what everybody loved which would inevitably lead to a New World Order (similarily named SW book series are a clue supporting this). That is where the big pharmaceutical companies come to the picture. They are using the Prequel Trilogy to brainwash us. It is no big secret that most of the PT CGI was funded by the guy who invented aspirin. If you want to prevent jihaad and save all that you hold dear, you will listen to generalfrievous, because he got it right. 

Gotta go, I think they are after me.

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was....

DAMN YOU.

Now I got this fine tune stuck in my head ;)

I would love to see Zam flee while they talk forever :D

Apparently something was filmed.  We really need more female and alien alien pilots.

Star Wars also needs more gay people and muslims!!!

TV's Frink said:I like this idea quite a bit...but where would I get muffled audio from?

Try equalising those bits of dialogue. If you drop or at least minimize higher frequencies, you should get the desired effect. 

No kidding. Rape is a pretty serious matter and one shouldn't just use the word lightly.

LOTR raped George Lucas.

...slunted sigh slime stunted stime sight stime....

I think this is an outstanding idea and I would be happy to donate.

Anakin should deliver some lines by Tommy Wiseau, the acting is performance and I believe lines such as "So anyway, how's your sexlife?" or "They're using me and I'm the fool." should fit in nicely ;)

I just bought The Room last week...haven't decided where to put Tommy yet, however.  Dexter Jettser, maybe?

Oh hai, Obi wan!

I was thinking more like:

I hate sand, blahblahblah... so anyway, how's your sex life.

or

It's all Obi-Wan's fault! They're using me and I'm the fool.
