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.

Sorry if I offend anyone, but could you guys answer me this:

* Why can a solider kill women and children in a foreign country with no problems (My Lai massacre), and when he comes back home, if he snaps and kill someone, he's sentenced to death?

* Why in america dosen't a vote count as a VOTE? Why one person is not equal as one vote?

* Why are there so many countries interested in reconstruting Iraq with their own money (Iraq's oil)? Why was Halliburton in charge of reconstructing Kwait after the gulf war?

* Why did the CIA support and financed military dictatorships in south america (including Brazil), that resulted in debts and in the killing of thousands of innocent people? Why did the CIA financed the Al Qaida when the soviets invaded Afeghanistan?

* Why does mr. Bush refuses to talk about his business conection with the Bin Laden family back in the 70s and 80s?

* What happened to Enron?

* Who profits from war?

I could go on and on...

Peace dudes, its the only way. We gotta educate our children to live in peace, not in a permanent war.

"Thats impossible even for a computer."

That was sort of my point... the fact that this story wasn't set in another dimension, but in our universe, made it confusing.


Altough every movie states, in its begining, that this story happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away; one must ask: far away from who? From us? And how long ago did this happen? I still belive it's set in an hipothetical alternative universe (like, it dosent matter where it happened, but it surely wasnt here).

You would have to in order to justify having a cliffhanger ending like the one in ESB. You have to know ahead of time where you will take it. Maybe not the dialogue involved, but the story was pretty well planned with some exceptions.


He had some of it planned, but not everything. Example: Han surviving the carbonite freezing was not yet decided, as Harrison Ford was hesitating about signing to do a third movie. And I seriously doubt he had planned that Leia was Luke's sister.

This is from IMDB. I've heard this from other sources as well, and I belive this is the real story:

"Although it is often claimed by George Lucas that Star Wars was always intended as part of a series (originally nine parts, later six), producer Gary Kurtz claimed differently in a interview in 1999. According to Kurtz, Star Wars was meant to be a standalone film. It was only after the film's incredible success that he and Lucas got together to consider sequels. They came up with the idea that Star Wars was the fourth story of a nine-part series and penned rough outlines for each episode. After releasing the "fifth" episode (The Empire Strikes Back (1980)), Lucas made Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) with Steven Spielberg. The success of this film convinced Lucas to increase the emphasis on action in the "sixth" Star Wars episode. According to Kurtz, the Emperor was not originally going to make an appearance until episode 9. Luke and Leia were not brother and sister. There was no Death Star II. The search for Han Solo was the main plot of the film, during which Luke would have furthered his Jedi training. Solo was going to die in the final battle. Luke was going to go off to complete/continue his Jedi training and Leia was going to resume her position as Queen of her people, separating the major characters in a "downer" ending similar to that of Episode 5. Kurtz strongly objected to Lucas'schanges and insisted they should stay with the story they had originally planned. Lucas just as strongly disagreed and the two parted company. (Kurtz left to make Dark Crystal, The (1982) with 'Henson, Jim' and hasn't worked with Lucas since.)"

I have no idea why George keeps lying about this.

Would you park your car where there's a sign saying "no parking"? Would you go through a door that says "do not enter"? WOuld you dance over a grave that has a sign saying "please, do not dance"? Altough I wouldn't mind a small, brief tapdancing number.

Then Palpatine puts his little finger next to his mouth and says "And now I will rule the... universe! Huahahah! Hahahaha!"

And he orders the kamino cloners to make him a Mini-me.

Palpatine and Vader are talking:

"Bring young Skywalker to me."
"But he'll never..."
"Shhh!"
"Luke will never..."
"Shhh!"
"Oh yeah very mature..."
"Zip it!"
"Look, the thing is..."
*takes an imaginary lightsaber, and as he swings it* "ziiipt it! ziiiip it!"

Usually, for some creepy reason, on a tombstone, there is a star next to the birth date, and a cross next to the death date. Mine will have a picture of me smiling next to the birth date, and a picture of me with a sad face next to the death date. Below, besides the "Take me out of this, it's hot in here, it's dark, cant breathe!" line, I would put a visual sign forbidding people to dance or piss over the grave. Over the grave, a plastic leg would be placed, in a way that it seems I've been buried with one of my legs outside. I'm kinda obsessed with death, and somehow, I want people to laugh everytime they see the place where I'd be buried. So much, it would become a tourist attraction.

And still... won't be the end of it. Even after GL's death, they will keep adding scenes, removing scenes, adding more CGI, adding new characters to some scenes (Luke, Solo, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan, C3PO, R2D2 and Sylvester go into the death star), changing the plot some more, changing everything, and... in 100 years, Star Wars will be a b&w romantic comedy set in the 17th century, staring Woody Allen and a CGI Shirley Temple.

Registration? Forget it. Won't give my e-mail adress to Carrie Fisher. She might sell it to spammers, in order to buy more booze (she had a drinking problem years ago).

Things would be different if this was a Mark Hamill or George Lucas online chat. Both love their fans, for some weird reason.

If Alec Guiness was still alive, he would probably be tearing and/or burning star wars fan letters... at this exact moment.

i dont want too much information given away...

i figure a nice 30 - 50 seconds of just music and character montages...
perhaps anakin getting operated on, padme giving birth, sidious smiling.... stuff like that...

i dunno... im all about less is more so i find that dialogue may ruin the ending or give away too much..
just me though


LOL - with the "why cant we be friends" song?
Fans would go wild
Sounds too much like a TV series ending episode though

I kinda remember it. They met thanks to some sort of time travel right? Ah, time travel is my second favorite "deus ex machina", makes anything possible. My favorite one is "it was just a dream" (which I used to belived to be the ending of episode 3, it was all a dream Luke had on the night after ROTJ).
