I'm looking forward to Charlie And The Chocolate Factory cos I was working at one of the London Effects houses doing the CGI and I saw loads of great artwork and I've read the script, plus I love Burton (Except Planet of the Apes...)

The fact that they're both called skywalker would be a bit of a clue though even if you could find a way to keep it secret till Empire. In fact, why the hell did the Lars/obi wan not change Luke's name for his own protection. In fact, why the hell didn't Obi-wan change his name - calling yourself Ben Kenobi is hardly a foolproof alias - luke put 2 and 2 together quickly enough. And hiding baby luke with Darth Vader's step brother (only living relatives in fact) wasn't too smart either.

I always just assumed that Obi Wan would knock Anakin into the volcano, think he was dead and walk away and we don't learn that he survived until he tells Luke that he's his father in ESB and Yoda confirms it in Jedi. But yeah, you guys have raised some good points - how could you make it all make sense?...

It kind of is. Just like Magnificent seven. Just like A new Hope in fact when you think about it.

I saw a poster yesterday for a new version of Assault On Precinct 13.

I worked for one of the many Post Production companies doing effects for Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and the concept art looked fantastic. Plus Johnny Depp is great so I have high hopes for this movie. Roald Dahl's story's are very wierd and sinister and I think this new film will capture this aspect more than the seventies film.

I remember that episode too. They made a star filled sky by pushing holes into black paper with a pencil, and once they had that the only limit was their imagination.... I think Ralph the paino playing dog was Han. Kermit was obviously Luke and Miss Piggy was Leia. I think their Nanny was Vader....

Ah, Memories. There was an Indiana Jones Muppet Babies episode too.

I'm pretty sure it was. I'll check though, I might be wrong.

Yeah, I guess that because I've been a star wars fan since I was a kid, I've kind of built up my own images in my head which don't correspond to the prequels. I imagined Alderaan as a literally weaponless planet, totally peaceful, totally hippy, and that made their destruction even worse, pus I imagined Anakin literally hunting down and destroying the jedi one by one (like an assasin) as Obi Wan descrbes in a new hope. I think a lot of the appeal of Star Wars was just that - the mystery, the backstory, the myths that you could ponder and create. It added a hugeness to the galaxy in which they live becasue everything was NOT explained. I liked that.

Basically, let's build a tie machine and deliver Rebel11_38's synopsis to Lucas circa 1985, along with a signed certificate stating that we will not sue or claim any money etc for the story rights and he can call it his own, so that he makes that prequel, and he makes it in the late 80s so there's no CG.

I used to think that he might make a prequel which featured a middle aged Annakin and he would use Mark Hamill as the actor, but by 1999 that was obviously not gonna happen.

I still like the Star Wars Kids idea. I'm thinking Muppet Babies with lightsabers. Who's with me?

Man, he makes a ton of crap films (has anyone seen that one about the clone kid - can't remember what it was called but I couldn't believe it was DeNiro in that shit. It was bad) then he thinks he can just do a sequel to one of his best movies and it will all be ok. Man oh man. This better not happen.

Yeah, shoulda been Alderaan. Although then Leia's line about it being peaceful with no weapons wouldn't work.

I never walk out of a movie, so I had the misfortune of seeing The Mummy Returns all the way to the end. I also sat all the way through Suburban Commando starring Hulk Hogan. However, I did switch off Scooby Doo the movie and Van Helsing.

Thanks dude, but the covers I'm looking fore aren't on the Grisan site - there's something similar, but not as good as Spidernap's. The only Spidernap covers on that site are for the magnoliafan edit.

Sorry for starting a whole new thread just for this, but it seemed to be the best way to get everyone's attention and maybe get a result. Does anyone have the Spidernap original trilogy DVD covers, the ones that look like the prequel DVDs? They were the best I've seen and I can't find them anywhere (High Res). Thanks.

I think the original Alien DVD, form like 5 years ago, has the correct logo. But is anyone listening to me about the featurette on the bonus disc??? If not, whatever, just stick anything on that looks similar - the modern 2004 logo is too modern.

I thought Predator 2 was OK. It was totally different to the first and developed the Predator's character/race. Now Aliens VS Predator on the other hand....

Just had a thought. With today's technology they should make Rocky 6 and Rambo 4 into the same movie - Rocky AND Rambo, or Rocky Vs Rambo...

Well, I suspect money is the answer to why they made Rocky 2, but as for satisfying endings, Rocky didn't actually win at the end of Rocky, so Rocky 2 was the rematch, and he did win.

And yeah, Boskk, I love that training scene too, and the music rocks. In Rocky 3 they had a similar scene but it was Rocky who was taking shortcuts in his training and posing for the camera while Mr.T was doing it hardcore.

That came out wrong. I meant he was doing some hardcore training...

If I was making a Vader suit for the disfigured and crippled Anakin with legs that are bigger and stronger than the originals, I would have stuck a few blasters on the shoulders and a built in lightsaber in each hand. And seeing as Vader never done the force lightning trick, I'm assuming he can't, so I woulda stuck some kind of lightning gun or something on there too. And knives and sharp sticks.

Rambo and his sargeant are surrounded by the entire Russian Army.

Sargeant: What d'ya say john? (implying surrender)
Rambo: ….Fuck 'em (Rambo starts firing at the army)

Classic. Personally I can't wait for Rambo 4. Rambo versus Bin Laden, one on one

Appropriate that the Holiday special came up in a 'should never have been made' thread. If the Holiday special is Canon, do you think we'll see Itchy and Lumpy in E3? Itchy and lumpy...Geez...

Beverley Hills Cop 3 should not have been made.

I actually went to the UK premiere of Battlefield Earth (my friend got tickets, can't remember how) and Travolta and the director practically apologised before the movie.
