The movies put me off, and yet they also made me realize that the series was worth looking into after all. Strange contridiction.


Quidditich looked fine in the first two movies.

Changes in 2004 DVDs
Time
Now we have six confirmed changes

1. Fixed Lightsabers - We can see this in the trailer. This is a change that really should have been made in 1997. Thank God its finally being made now.

2. Change in Emperor hollogram - Creates better continuality with Return of the Jedi and the Prequals. I personally like this change.

3. Fixing Jabba- many complained about the old Jabba animation looking fake. I am glad it has been improved

4. Naboo in celebration - Creates more continuality and is a good change.

5. Han and Greedo - Yeah Greedo still shoots first. But the scene was modified to not look so technologically bad. I still like it better in its original form.

6. Haydens head is now Anakins Ghost - I hate hate hate this change. I signed the petition after hearing of it. It ruins continutallity, it is disrespectful to the memory of the original Anikan, and it creates a plot hole of how Luke recognizes him. I have nothing against Hadyan please God leave that scene alone.

First of all I consider The Empire Strikes Back and A New Hope to be better then The Phantom Menace. I am hear because a good discussion requires individuals of different opinions.

They did not see the blast. Hellow in the Star Wars universe they can travel accross the galaxy in a matter of weeks. Therefore news this important could easily travel that in a matter of days. Official one of the dumbest complaints I have ever heard.

lol Lucas just doesnt think does he?


You're right, Luke. I hadn't thought of it before, but it's true. I can understand it being seen from Endor, since it's orbiting the moon, but everybody else seems to know immediately that the Death Star II has been destroyed. I mean, come one, Lucas! It's not like everybody would've been free of Imperial control the evening after it was blown to shards.


Bullshit. The death star wasn't seen from any of those planets. Word that the Galatic Empire had surrendered is big news and would travel very fast. Thats a very stupid complaint.

or why arent you bitching about Islamic people having their own television stations???

but bring up blacks and now its a big issue...
the media wants to really waste all their time to conspire against black people??
give it up dude...

bottom line is white's are afraid of black's in one way or another...
people see them as the low of society and therefore we can point the finger at them and get away with it because society is predominantly white....

Jimbo you sure you dont have some sort of problem with coloured people?
cough cough racist!
lol



I don't think we have an islamic station in America do we? No have nothing against black people. Some are good people I am sure. I just don't like them trying to take rights away from white people which is exactly what Affirmative action does. Hell a black Supreme Court judge voted against Affirmative Action. Tell you the truth in a way Affirmative action is insulting to black people as well. Saying they need special help should be insulting to them. Which is why smart black individuals like Bill Cosby and that Supreme Court guy know that Affirmative Action is wrong. As for the gay parades I am against everything gays do. I hate gays. Hate em all. I have nothing against black people however.

Recently, he gave a commencement speech in which he said that the only ones that black people can blame for their status in life is themselves. I'm sure it went off like a lead balloon, but he believes it and I know others do, too. Not that black people are constantly demonizing just white people and not that black people are the only ones who demonize others period. The point is that you can't blame others for who you are. You've got to constantly struggle against yourself to be a better person. Hell, I could just as easily blame Affirmative Action for me not getting a particular job because some company had to meet a race composition quota. But I'm not gonna. I'm going to use rejection to make me work harder. I still keep a book with all my job rejection letters taped inside (dozens of them) to motivate me when I was looking for my first job out of college and my second job once I quit (was let go; but given the option to call it "quitting") from my first job. It did the trick.


Bill Cosby is oviously a smart black guy then. Comment on black history month. Why is there no white history month? Thats just one of many examples of black people now having more rights in this country. And yes they try to demonize white people as an excuse to give them more rights and money. My opinion I don't feel sorry for them and when they want to take rights from I say fuck them.

just like when that women drowned both her young children in the car ON PUPOSE!!! and then said a black man stole her car and drove it into the river...
that is absolutly disgusting... and they actually believed that lie until they found out the truth...

get my point?


Some murderous crook lied. Its not the first time that happened. True that kind of thing is discusting but its not uncommen. Like I said its in our nature to murder each other. Society around us surpresses are dark feelings but instinctivly all human beings are naturely evil. Read Lord of the Flies. I don't believe society targets minoritys. I believe its the other way around. I believe minorities are constantly trying to demonize white people. Movies like Bowling for Columbin just aid that. Proff of this is affermative action. One of our countries most sick and discrasful acts. This is such an ovious attack on race its ridiculous. Other examples black history month, African American muesums, black Stars channel. Id really like to see them try that for white people. My opinion you can't have a black history month without a white history month. If someone tryed to open March as white history month some black asshole would call discrimination. Its absolutly discrassful.

I saw Bowling for Columbin. It is really a joke. It fails to make a point. Its misleading as hell. For example the guns at the bank. Moore did have to wait two weeks for those guns and go through background checks. The documentary makes it appear he just walked out with them. I also hate it trying to blame the NRA for violent crimes. Its human nature to murder each other. If there were no guns then we would just sab, strangle, and bite each other to death. Its how we are. Also the idea that the news media is in some kind of consperacy against black people is ridiculous. The reason why most crimes are reportedly done by black people is that THEY ARE. I am not trying to be racist but it is true. I am sick of them trying to demonize white people and make us responsible for the fact that there life is tough. People with problems always scramble to blame people with better lives. Or worse try to blame us for slavery. Sure that was definutly sick and wrong but I didn't do it. I wasn't there. My grandparents weren't there. I am not responsible for the actions of some ancester of mine I never even heard of. Its a joke. Bowling for Columbin also shows a bunch of trigger happy red necks as an excuse for more gun control. Dumb. I have no desire to see another one of Moores propaganda gargage. You can bet this will be filled with more stupid lies about Bush.
