As for what the contingency plans, see 2-5 above are. Any of them can be done pretty easily.
I was bored and dropped Qui-Gon into ESB and Jedi, just an experiment to see what it would be like (not really for the OT edits or anything, just boredom and to see if it could be done). Putting him back in some small way into Ep 3 is easy enough.

And so far, I just had the Dooku stuff downloaded from the net, though I know they have Xbox ripping software out there. I haven't worried about it too much yet. Nov 2nd may be a different story.

Another thing I noticed is that if you watch 1-3 as a stand alone trilogy, it works better to have no Vader and kill Anakin. The birth of Vader just feels tacked on... It's a loose end... Like a big TO BE CONTINUED slapped on the credits. After doing all the horrible things Anakin did, he deserves to die... even if only to stay dead for a film and a half.
Plus, my new "scene that explains it all" in Jedi, has brought chills to the few who have had the fortune to see it in rough form.

I always thought it would have worked much better if the audience thought Annakin was dead right up until the ESB revelation. Obi Wan's explanation that Darth Vader Murdered Luke's Father would just be taken as Obi Wan not wanting to tell Luke that his Dad was a prick and ObiWan killed his ass.

Ric go to the 'sites supporting the petition' section and look at a thread started by adam called 'my wikepidia page' or something like that. Follow the link and check out the photo. It goes a long way to explaining AWK's behaviour. He's just a kid.

Hold up a minute. I don't want to go off topic here, but didn't Kevin Smith say he was not making any more Jersey movies, and now we get Clerks 2 and a new J&SB?

Hayden Church is the guy from Sideways right? That could work. He's a fairly bulky guy, and Venom was always bigger than Eddie Brock, and I've no doubt that Venom himself will be purely CGI.

Screw the license - just 'borrow' the car. Buffy was big over here, but it's still a fanboy show that appeals to a certain audience, and the posters here for the movie are plastered with 'BUFFY' 'ANGEL' 'JOSS WHEDON'.

Man, that's a tough question. I definitely like the latter Beatles stuff better, but the early-later stuff was good too, if that makes sense. I'm talking Rubber Soul/revolver era. At a push my favourites (both lyrically and melodically) are:

In My Life
Come Together
Get Back
Revolution (all versions)
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Helter Skelter
Here, There, Everywhere
Tomorrow Never Knows (Great Drumbeat)
Let It Be
The Ballad of John and Yoko

I also have a soft spot for Free As A bird. It almost makes me cry hearing John Lennon's crackly home recorded voice from beyond the grave.

And the worst?

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da or anything by Ringo - Don't pass me by - what was that? Almost killed the White Album with that one.

I'm a Lennon man myself, although there are a good few McCartney tracks in my list. I saw McCartney live recently and there is just something distinctly uncool about him. I've heard good things about his new album though.

Something to that extent.

He's obviously just trying to stir up trouble.

Have you seen his Wikipedia page (there's a link to it in the 'sites supporting the petition' thread)? The photo of Adam explains a lot about his behaviour. I'm don't feel anger anymore. More like pity. It's time to move on and forget the fool. Let us never speak of him again.

A Padawan period before you can choose your own name sounds good to me. At the end of the day, we don't need a heirachy here anyway. We all know who the 'seniors' are, and there are some people who haven't been here long who are good contributers. Let's have a politically correct 'everyone is equal' board. Well, everyone is equal after 6 months...

Sounds good, but the marketing I've seen is selling it as 'Hey, the same guys who made Buffy made this', hich might account for it's poor box office.

I hate the way that the older generation complain about the younger generation, when they are in fact just as rude and inconsiderate, and tend to look down on people. I am often treated with contempt by older people who think that I must be an idiot simply because I am in my 20s, have long hair and don’t wear a suit to work.

Sadly I am in Chaltab's 'Crap at NES' club. I think I got to the last level of Mario 1 but it kept looping and I could never find my way to the end. I got the rocket to take off on Tetris though. Does that count?

Whoever wrote that list is a fool.

On the tube this morning I was peeking at somebody's newspaper over their shoulder and there was an article about sex in the new bond movie and how they are going to make a point of showing him using 'protection'.

That's all just prequel crap. In my mind, all Jedis disappear when they die and become spirits. That's it. That's all part of being a Jedi. None of this 'you have to learn how to do it from Qui-Gon' shit. Jedis die, they disappear, they come back as spirits. The fact that they are a spiritual, enlightened bunch of people is explanation enough for me. There was no need for the convoluted and poorly done explanation we were given in the prequels. If Qui-Gon had faded away, it would have been fine. Granted, that might raise a question about Vader fading at the end of Jedi, which I personally thing is what should have happened, but I imagine that he did fade and we just didn't see it. Luke burned his suit only.

Then again, in my mind their are no midichlorians either.
