Just two episodes?? WTF?!

Actually 8 episodes of each series but thats not the point. The point is that any television show should be boycotted if not released as season sets. So I wouldn't buy either of the cartoon DVDs. As for the live action ewok movies buy them if you like em. I will probably rent them since I have never seen them before.

Never saw the Breakfest Club. Ferris Bullers day off is one of my favorites. Id say it really uses the same style of humor as The Girl Next Door. How everything is completly too damn good to be true that you just have to laugh. Both movies have a similar theme about living life to its fullest even if it means not always playing by the rules. The Girl Next Door does these elements just as well only is hundred times more sexy. Damn the movie should come with drool bags.

Really really bad news just serfaced. It seems the reason for the cheap price will be that Droids and Ewoks TV series will be only availble as selected episodes and not season sets. My opinion boycott this set.

While I am glad this inconsistancy has been fixed I would have done it the other way and modify the shirt in Return of the Jedi to match the Empire Strikes Back. Not the other way around. Still this is enough and I am very happy with this change.

Don't understand why he would make this change but I think even most hardcore Star Wars fans won't notice.

Heres word on another change As many Star Wars fans know there is a huge mistake with Hans clothes. He awakes in Return of the Jedi with different clothes then what he fell assleep in in The Empire Strikes Back. That has been fixed. I don't see how you can object to this change.

I read somewhere they are trying to go for a more griddy 70s look for Revenge of the Sith. The idea is that the polished look of the prequals is ment to show the bright time for the galaxy and the griddy 70s look is the dark times.

Just got done watching the unrated DVD. The picture and sound quality are both quite good. Not much is different in this new cut except I did notice that the digital bikinis on the dancers are gone. Elisha Cuthbert still doesn't go full frontal nude. Apparently she didn't want to. My opinion having a body that amazing and keeping it covered to the world should be a crime or something. Still the views we get are more then enough. Here with cloths on looks about as good as the other girls naked. As I said before this movie is one of the funniest, most heart felt, and just downright good entairtaining teen movie. It takes things used before and homes them to perfection. It is the perfect teen comedy. Attack of the Clones is the perfect science fiction, Finding Nemo is the perfect father son movie, Dumb and Dumber is the perfect comedy, Dragonheart is the perfect fantasy movie, The Girl Next Door is the perfect teen comedy. If you haven't seen this go rent it now. If you have you should now how great it is and go buy it now.

So no way can Lucas or anyone else do a thing about the OT Troopers voice. I think it's gonna stay the same!

Oh and also, I remember having a magazine poster thing in the 80's, about ESB time, where it said on the back that Stormtroopers were clones.

Thats great. Can you post it. That would be proff that they were always meant to be clones.

Glad I have supporters here in the fan fight to bring this show back. What makes me even more angry is that Fox replaced it with such shit. If your going to cancell a great show at least replace it with something decent.

The thing about the Terminator franchise is that I always saw it as a giant loop. Beginning with the first movie and ending with John sending Kyle through time. Terminator 3 does diviate from the timeline a bit but I don't think they had a choice with the long time period Cameron waited. Really Terminator 3 showed a willingness to continue and evolve the series while Terminator 2 tryed to half ass end it.

First of all Attack of the Clones is my favorite movie. I was just saying that you were useing Cameron to put down Terminator 3 I was simply puting down your agruement. If he likes the movie then oviously he doesn't believe his franchise is being ruined. He stated in the same interview he hates Alien 3. So he believes his franchises have been ruined before but Terminator 3 didn't.

Not in Cameron's view.

If we are talking about Camerons view then you have to like Terminator 3 since JIM CAMERON LIKES TERMINATOR 3. He didn't make it but believes Mostow did a good job with it.

The only reason Arnold did it was because Cameron told him to ask for a "Shitload of money" (picked this up somewhere, don't know if it necessarily is true or not).

It's not a bad movie, it just seemed kind of unncessary.

And about T3 copying T2, they also copied the "Kill Count - 0" gag.

I hated the kill count. It makes no sense whatsoever even with Arnolds special vision he could fire arbatraily into a crowd and not kill anybody. It sucked ass in both movies. Thats my problem with Terminator 3. It takes alot of things that sucked in Terminator 2 and just sucks um more. Everything about it that different then Terminator 2 is great.

He watched the three movies, and noticed that there was no sign indicating the opposit, besides the different voices. He didn't bother to read any expanded universe material to verify this, even the ones he personally approved. He then gathered his team on Skywalker Ranch and anounced that the stormtroopers would be the clones on the Clone Wars, and everyone thought it was a good idea, because it was GL's idea.

Pretty much

How I would rate the Terminator series

The Terminator - James Camerons original masterpeice. Its a movie with non-stop action, great acting, great characters, great emotional depth, and the best villian of all time. Its a shame they don't make science fiction like this anymore - A+

Terminator 2 Judgement Day - A much bigger movie then the first. Still Terminator 2 proves bigger doesn't always mean better. What we have is an inferior below average movie missing the great acting, cool time loops, and intellegent storyline of the first movie. Still it has great effects and some well done action. - B-

Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines - Repeats many of Terminator 2s many flaws. Still it is an improvement its got a superior storyline, superior acting, best action and effects of the series, and Kristanna Loken. Even with its strengths it can't live up to the original masterpeice - B+

jimbo if that doesnt prove you wrong and have you admit that you are wrong for once....
than i dont know what else we can say....

maybe he wants them to be clones now... but they are not originally clones...
please just try and understand that...

Its irrelevent whether they were originally clones or not. Now there clones. Maybe Darth Vader wasn't originally C-3P0s father but now he is.

The police screen says he is ten years old. He was born in 1985. So Terminator 2 takes place in 1995. So the three year thing makes no sense. I agree with you on time travel but I believe it was Terminator 2 not Terminator 3 that fucks with the first movies time travel theroys. He filmed a scene where Judgement Day was stoped. Its really awful and if it was left in Terminator 2 would have sucked. Also the first movie showed time loops like John Connors concievement, the chip in the lab, and Sarahs picture. There are no such Time loops in Terminator 2. Yet there are a couple in Terminator 3. Sarahs grave. The Terminator knows about it. Where did he get this explaination. Skynet knew nothing of Connors mother so wouldn't know that. John also didn't know where she was buried. The only explaination was the Kate programed this information based on her previous experiance with the Terminator. It also shows that the T-X started the war by using her machine programing power to program Skynet for evil. How Judgement Day begins fits Kyles explaination perfectly. In fact one line "It decided our fate in a microsecond" fits Terminator 3 better then Terminator 2. Thats a bit thought provocing. Really in Terminator 3 it shows that John nieve child self believed in No Fate. His mature adult self tells him that the war is inevidible. Humanity will fall and the machines will rise.

First of all you can't critizes Terminator 3 for its screwed up dates. All three movies have screwed up dates

1. The cop mentions the date is Thursday May 12. May 12 1984 was a Saturday.

2. Terminator 2 takes place in 1995. The Terminator mentions Judgement Day happens in 1997. Three years from now. Do the math

3. It mentions John Connor was 13 in Terminator 2 and also uses three year period between 1995 and 1997.
