Sometimes I think the next generations will not appreciate and watch the original SW trilogy as we did, they'll watch it when they get to be 25, 30... How many kids today watch Hitchcock or Kubrick movies? They want mindless, simples action flicks, like matrix, or... scorpion king (yes the spin-off of a sequel of a re-shooting of an adaptation). SW will be some sort of a cult thing, seeing by fewer people...

Feels like Obi-Wan was playing mind games on Luke. My opinion is, he wanted Luke to be on his side, so he lied to him, in order to motivate him to save Leia. And... what if... Obi-Wan dosent know Vader is Anakin, and he thinks Vader killed Anakin?

"Why didnt you tell me Vader was my father?"
"He is?! Oh... he is! Sure... Uh... You see... Time to go!" *vanishes*

Actually I am quite certain that they can't reanimate the person. They freeze the body in the hope that in the future we may be able to figure out how to bring the person back to life. I believe one of the biggest problems is that the brain dies when it is completely frozen. It is true that the body can survive for longer when it is very cold, even though the person appears to be dead, because the metabolism slows down to a point where it almost stops, but we are still talking only an hour or so, not years. It is something scientists have spent many years and huge amounts of money researching (I beleive that many celebrities have left their fortunes to this research in the hope that they will awaken alive and well sometime in the future), but at this stage it is still a pipe dream I think...


Oh, darn, so I better take granpa out of the fridge.

I agree (and btw, ww2 would be the only war I would enlist to fight). But we must never let it happen again, this fact that we needed to kill so many people just to stop Hitler. What started that war was pure hate, and frustration about the post-WW1 world. If such hate didn't exist, that war would never begin. So we must STOP thinking that war is a solution, we must be able to prevent wars from happening in the first place. Now we cant do that, corporations, media and TV has screwed our minds, we learned that killing has more value than negociating, we are a generation that are doomned to never reach true peace, but... I still have faith in the little ones.

And about the pro-bush, anti-bush thing, it's useless, I won't talk about that anymore, at least, not here. I'll never make people who disagree with me to agree with me, so why bother? The only thing I really should say about that is: you people in america should fight for a change in the election system, and make 1 american = 1 vote, and majority of votes = elected. AND... make voting an obligation. So when someone as Bush gets elected, it'll be YOUR fault, or better yet, YOUR decision.

BTW, I swear, this is the first time I've seen such discussion in a message board that dosen't end in "you stupid idiot, you asshole". That means SW fans are inteligent, educated and polite people? Thank you all.

i hope it to be like that someday too, but it's not probable. it has nothing to do with violence on screen etc, it's just human nature. even cave men were fighting each other and, as far as i know, they didn't have TV...

i liked the oreo movie. that's what i've always thought. the US would be so much better off if they'd spend more money on education. but i can't judge on that. never been there.


Caveman hit each other in the head because children saw their parents doing it. If we raised our children in a peaceful environment (cant spell sorry), what do you think would happen? It is possible, but unfortunally people dont want to give up their TVs and Big Macs and focus all their effort on the next generation.

Watching it on order (1-2-3-4-5-6) would be interesting. Bobba Fett's appearence would be kinda shocking, and quite a surprise. "I am you father" would still be a powerful line, because of the emotional impact on Luke ("oh now he knows it"), Leia kissing Luke would make people laugh, the new celebration scene at the end of ROTJ would make a little more sense.

Ok, so, when they release the Ultimate Trilogy, I'll knock my head on the wall until I forget all about SW, and I'll watch from 1 to 6. Then I'll tell you guys what I think. Altough I'd forgot about this website... maybe I can tatoo it on my chest "remember originaltrilogy.com".

Which brings me to this sick question: a lot of time has passed since they first met in ANH, so, dont you think she and Luke could have gone a little bit... intimate?

Obi-Wan talking to Luke:

"And you have a sister..."
"Leia. Leia is my sister. OH CRAP!" *throws up*
"Luke... Are you ok?"
"Oh God, no!!" *throws up some more*
"Gee, sorry, I should have..."
"Why didnt you tell me that beofre, you sick old bastard?! Do you have any idea what me and Leia did?!"
"Uh... Yes. I was watching..."
*Luke throws up some more*

I remember that back in high school, me and a friend (we both have no sisters) discussed for nearly six months on the topic: "If you had a really hot, good looking sister, would you screw her?" - and after those 6 months of discussion, we finally came up with the answer: yes, it's worth it, even being an abomination in the eyes of God and the society.

Both are puppets, one is on the right, the other one's on the left. But hey let's talk about this on the off-topic session! Here, the only politics discussed is the fall of the republic and the rise of the empire.

*I'm not aware of the US financing dictatorships and I don't agree with it. But you can't use someones mistake to justify not taking action. And the reason we helped Al Qaeda back in the 80s is because the Soviets were our enemies then. They were the bigger threat at that point in history.

* I'm unaware of what you are asserting. If it is true I'm sure he regrets it now.

* Well, it went bankrupt. That isn't a secret

*Who profits from the war? Everyone but the evil regimes that like terrorism.


Lasting peace will never come on this world. And we certainly can't achieve any peace through surrender. The problem with your thinking is that you seam to belive that peace by anymeans is the ultimate goal, but if you gain it by surrender, it is just that. Surrender.


First of all, thanks for keeping a polite, clean conversation about this topic. Some people just take it too seriously - well it is supposed to be taken seriously, bot not seriously enough to offend each other. Besides, we all agree in one thing here: the original star wars trilogy kicked ass

And my answers to your answers...

* Unavoidable? So, the killing of inocent is unavoidable? It is avoidable: no war.
* Did the majority of people vote for Bush? No. Is he the president? Yes.
* I understand, but the point is: people will profit from rebuilding, right? Companies will be hired to do the job, and they'll get millions, if not billions, of dollars to do it. What if Canada destroyed america because they think GWB has gone tyranical, and to pay for its reconstruction, the canadians are hiring canadian, spanish and japanese companies to do it, and they'll be paying with america's natural resources.
* Well it happened, it has been done since the late 1800s, early 1900s - Brazil, Chile, 50s Iran, they tried to do it with Vietnan... Before that, Great Britain used to do that, fulling China with opium and all that stuff.
* Oh he sure regreats, but I still smell something kinda fishy going on there.
* Ok, has anyone gone to jail? BTW Parmalat has gone the same way, and nothing will happen either.
* Now, has Halliburton made any profit from the gulf war?

Peace can happen. It's hidden inside our children. We, our generation, is screwed now, we're doomned, our minds and souls are filled with violence and blood, but if we raised our children away from this nonsense, dont you think peace would finnaly be achieved? We fill their minds with TV, violence, the idea that killing and making wars are ok, we are filling them with hate, with a empty search for money and material things, if we invest all we have in our children... we would have a good world for them to live.

Look, I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin everything, but... are you guys sure an online petition, even if it has thousands and thousands of votes, will persuate GL to change his mind? BTW, has anything like this worked before?

BTW I'm telling everyone I know, and I told about originaltrilogy in a brazillian SW message board.

Idi Amin used to eat the flesh of his enemies, and he supported the kidnap of israelis. Why didn't america take him off?

In latin america, the military dictatorships tortured and killed people for no reason at all. And still, they were organized, supported and financed by the CIA - they even taught torturing techniques. So it's ok for a dictator to torture and kill people if you're saving them from a fictcious "communist threat". But no, you cant do that if you have a huge oil field in your territory.
