Topic: Do they even exist anymore? (the unaltered theatrical version of the Original Trilogy)

I'm guessing yes. I belive they have the whole original film intact and preserved somewhere.

I've asked a question some time ago and I didn't see the reply, I'm not sure someone ever did: let's say I own a movie theater and want to book Star Wars on it, so I contact lucasfilm or 20th century fox, whatever, and ask for it. They'll send me the 1997 version or the 2004 version?

So the petition is either an all or none situation. It's either posted in its entirety or not at all.

Well, he could state that "for database space reasons, only the last 10 thousand signatures are visible. if you are george lucas, works at lucasfilm, or something like that, and you wish to see every signature, please contact us at..."

Well, they don't know what they're doing here.

I know you can configure proxies on IE, but that is one of the things they did block, I cannot access Internet Options(and I really don't know how to do it another way).

So I just downloaded Firefox.

Oh! OK I got it now...

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! DON'T GIVE UP THE PETITION! DON'T LET LUCAS WIN!!!!

If GL wins... we all lose! Unless he declares it a tie. Then GL and we lose. But, if we win... GL also wins. So it's a win-lose-lose-win situation. I'm... uh... I'm confused...

Jay you could make a copy of the existing confirmed signatures, remove those, and continue with it. People don't have to know who was the first person to sign it...

"Superman becomes a nazi", the musical? It's so crazy it might work! Superman flying around the stage, singing with a swastica on his arm, reading from Mein Kampf, until the war is over and he is sentenced to death in nuremberg and shot with a kriptonite bullet.

If anything, he's being a bit overly optimistic of Gates' fortune. He ain't undershooting it in any way, shape, or form.

Well AT LEAST someone has read the previous posts and understood I meant 8 million multiplied by the confirmed signatures. I know he's a freaking billionaire, I'm not that stupid.

So I think that if he gets another oscar, he'll send 20 jumping shaolin monks to get the award for him as a protest against whatever is in the news that day.

His existence is a nuance. It is an unlikable comic book hero, at least to me. I'd be 0.00000001% happier if it did not exist.

Ah, so I see Daniel Day-Lewis is following the steps of Marlon Brando. He is already a legendary actor, all he needs to do now is to become bizarre and anoying.

But someone appearantly prefers IE, because they keep deleteing or renaming Firefox and and putting IE back where it was. (I wish so much I could just delete it.)

1- It is a browser, even though it is mixed with the os kernell. It interprets html and support client-side scripts, so by definition, it is an internet browser.

2- Why didn't you also change the Firefox icon to IE's?

3- Maybe there's a startup batch script?

"Si, es verdad (verdad?)."

You speak spanish quite well, way better than me, and I know it is not easy for someone who speak a non latin language to learn a latin language.

DB AF is some sort of a cross between a bad fanfic and a urban legend. I've read about it, and I can tell you, you're not missing anything.

I didn't have my dictionary handy and Freetranslation translated "to throw" as Para Tirar.

Blasted overly complex conjugations. I meant why did he(shim) throw Warbler.

Now that I think about it, I belive you were correct. I think that "to throw" is actually "tirar" in spanish ("para" is "to", so you might have a translation problem there). I'm not so good with spanish verb conjugation, it can get very confusing even for latin language speakers, but I think it IS "tiré". The only thing I would correct there is "una". "una puente", as "puente" is a "feminine" noun.

EDIT: I just checked, it IS "un puente". Oops. So I guess you made no mistakes... Muy bien señor Chaltab, hablas español muy bien. Mejore que yo.

That's good. I wasn't defending IE, I was just saying that it could be done on IE too. Pretty much on every browser.

What were you trying to say? "Why... ", now tiré I could interpret as "take"... "Warbler... of a... bridge?" Puente is bridge? So it's... "why throw warbler from a bridge", is that it?

You DO have public transportation where you live, right? I know a lot of people in their mid-30s who dosen't even know how to drive and dosen't want to. And I agree with them, cars are nothing but a waste of money. Why do I have to drag 2 tons of steel to move 10 miles, where I work, twice a day, and using as fuel something as expensive as gold?

I don't belive Jay even considered removing the two basic things this site is made of, the petition and the forums.

Darth Simon, that's a great idea, the webcomics one. We sure have insane star wars fans here who can contribute with material to it, we only need someone to draw it. On a weekly base. For free.

Well, whatever changes go through, they gotta happen fast. After ROTS release, Star Wars will fade out for some time...
