Reason #25
Bustin' on Artoo
There's this one scene where Padme and Anakin are walking on Naboo and she says she's a little nervous and he confesses to also being nervous since this is his first assignment by himself. "Don't worry," Padme says. "We have Artoo with us." Then they both laugh about how ridiculous a concept it is that Artoo could be at all useful. Artoo beeps and if Threepio were there to translate it would probably be something along the lines of "Fuck you both."

Thats funny shit man!

Agreed thats really funny and probably true.

No actually. He is done with Star Wars after he finishes the 30th aniversery versions. It looks he will become a pixar like studio after.

If all you'll be trying to do is an attempt 'contributing' to their childish personal quarrel (let alone 'picking a side'), then by all means you're not really welcome by me.

Regarding the 'We owe Lucas situation': I don't owe him anything - and he doesn't owe me anything. His 'fan relations' are on a business-level only. Everybody who believes differently is an idealistic fool (which is not necessarily a bad thing, though), he doesn't give a rats ass about what fans like or don't like (the changes in the '2oo4 Editions' of the classic trilogy should make that quite clear). And he certainly doesn't make any difference between die-hard-lucas-lovers or die-hard-lucas-haters. He doesn't need us to like it anymore.

In the end he is like all of us, obsessed with 'his favorite vision' of StarWars. Alas, what makes him unique is that he is the only person who has the power to create new changed versions as well as preserving the original versions. Is Lucas evil because he doesn't want to preserve the original versions? No. Irresponsible? Yes. Why? Because "with great power, comes great responsibility."

I for once just wish he would follow the laws of logic and make a special edition of the classics that'd actually make sense (that still wouldn't be my favorite version of the films, but at least I could sit down and nod and say "hmm... I don't like that he changed it, but it actually makes sense on a strictly logical basis and it was superbly implemented, artistically as well as technically.)

The director's cut of THX-1138 shows he can apply reasonable changes that follow the original spirit of the story and actually amplify the mood and atmosphere of the setting. That said, it appears that all those silly and illogical changes contained within the upcoming '2oo4 Editions' were purposedly done that way - go figure.

There's only one thing I have left to say to Lucas himself (although I doubt he'll hear nor understand me): "Tread lightly George, for you tread on our dreams..."

I agree with most of what you said. We don't owe Lucas anything but neither does he owe us anything. I also agree I wish he would make a Special Edition that makes sense. In does bug me he made alot of good changes but then put Haydens head in Return of the Jedi.

I am not familier with his work. Is he just going to be Voldemorts voice. The way he was described in the book he sounded like a half snake creature that could only be done digital.

I signed it after hearing of the Hayden head thing. I would like a copy of the originals just to edit out that stupid little thing.

I believe I am only disrespectful to individuels who are disrespectful to me. One moment someone will call me something and it seems to cause an uproar when I call that back. Other individuels with my views have came and unfortunitly gone since most hear call them names until they leave. You guys need me. At least until someone else with my point of view shows up. There needs to be someone hear who disagrees with the majority. I have signed the petition and believe in some of the websites causes. Some individuels choose to argue with respect while others choose to be jerks.

My suggestion by bootlegs. They won't be up to the new DVDs but will be much better then the VHS.

If folk who haven't been writing as long as this old hack can come up with better, more cohesive, more logical storylines on any old SW message board, then something is wrong. ILM can run rings around other outfits when they want to, but AOTC's effects feel empty, devoid of meaning, resonance, and life.

EDIT: the floor in the Jedi Temple is CGI?!

Natalie Portman is all women. All gorgous women. Attack of the Clones has a beautiful story. Taking the best parts of Shackspeire, Fall of Rome, and a little Tolkien. Did I mention that Natalie Portman is gorgous?

TPM, are you out of your mind? Wait I know the answer to that.

Attack of the Clones is so so so much better then Return of the Jedi. Its like comparing Kristanna Loken to Rosie Odonald. Attack of the Clones beats it in every possible way. The Phantom Menace is flawed but overal even thats better then Return of the Jedi. The Phantom Menace is ewok free at least.

I didn't thats the point. I started this thread because I am concerned about the lack of any news on a Starfighter 3. The first Starfighter was released in 2001 and followed the events of The Phantom Menace from the point of view of different characters not in the movie. In 2002 Jedi Starfighter (released before Attack of the Clones) follows the events of the second movie with most of the same characters (though a couple movie characters make quick cameos). I was hoping in 2005 they would release a third game in this series for Revenge of the Sith. Yet there is nothing anywhere suggesting Lucasarts is preparing it. I hope there will be.
