Like The Last Temptation of Christ, the only Jesus movie with a smart plot twist.

I am not going to see the passion. I know the story, and how it ends. I've read the book.

She'll get her free trip to the Endor moon, and the Ewoks will capture her and eat her corpse (she didn't have C3PO and the Force to foll the Ewoks).

I DON'T KNOW! But could you at least consider the possibility that some fans might prefer the SE? There are people who enjoy having sex while being burned with candles and beaten in the face with a baseball bat, so why couldn't there be a SW fan who actually enjoyed the SE? No matter how horrible you belive something is, there will be someone who likes it...

3 confirmed changes

1. The Emperor hologram has been replaced by with the correct actor to match with Return of the Jedi

2. The digital Jabba has been replaced with a much better digital Jabba.

3. The lightsaber effects have been corrected.

I can't see how anyone can complain about any of these changes. All three of them should have been made in 1997.

Confirmed by who? Please post the url where these confirmations are. I am not doubting you! Just wanna see it.

No kidding! But she meant that all soldiers that were recruited to be stormtroopers should be at least 1.80m tall or something. And the suit was obviously too big for him.

BTW, it's the only scene from ANH I hate, Luke staring at Leia, and she says that line in a "prequels-acting-way", and then Luke is like "what? oh the suit!", I mean duh.

but i guess you dont care that people are beginning to make all our decisions for us...
what we should see on tv and hear on radio with this whole FCC thing is just getting out of control...
and now they are telling us what to buy...
well you make your own decision... but i find it very selfish of you to come on here and try to befriend people who you wont even support....

and you call yourself a fan??
are you really?

Who is making a decision for who?

And free speach is a good thing, I belive. We should never bann someone for liking the SE, or for saying "I loved when Greedo shot first", thats their opinions. As I said before, opinions are like clocks and watches, everyone belive his own watch/opinion is correct, but no one truly is, it's impossible , "even for a computer" (got the joke?). What are we discussing here, anyway? The SE's? So let's hear it from people who enjoyed it, and dosen't sign the petition. Let's hear both sides.

4. Padme's pregnancy
5. The twins
6. The Darth Sidious/Palpatine connection
7. Slaughter of the Jedi
8. Palpatine's dictatorship over the republic
9. Boba Fett
10. Mace Windu and his death
11. The Sifo-Dyas storyline
12. Anakin's transformation into Vader
13. Padme's death
14. Tidbits with Grand Moff Tarkin, and cameos from other future characters
15. Yoda's exile to Dagabah and Obi-wan's exile to Tatooine
16. Mindless action scenes and saber duels
17. Military might of the empire
18. Jar Jar Binks
19. Organa
20. And Count Dooku's death

As you can see there isn't enough room to explain everything. If only Lucas wasn't so tight about running time.

And this is what Lucas is going to do:

1- Oh he falls into lava and becomes evil.
2- "Bye Obi-Wan" "Bye Anakin"
3- "One of these days Padme! You'll get a free trip to the Endor moon!"
4- "Anakin I'm preagnant." "Yeah yeah whatever."
5- "Congratulations Padme, it's twins! Uh, Padme? Padme?"
6- "I am Palpatine... I am Sidious! I am the eggman, I am the walrus!"
7- In the words of C3PO "Die Jedi scum!"
8- Kinda covered on episode 2. Jar Jar gave him the powers.
9- Who? Nope, not on this one.
10-That will be a great scene, death of Mace "Bad MuthaF" Windu. Very Tarantino-like scene.
11-Syfo-Dyas was used by Sidious and Tiranus. He could cover that in a 30 second dialogue.
12-"Here, Anakin, put on these clothes so you can breathe."
13-See #5;
14-"Hi I'm Moff Tarkin." and he goes to the back.
15-"To Dagobah I will go. Make soup for rest of my life I shall. After you're dead, lead Luke Skywalker to me you will."
16-Obviously.
17-Not onscreen.
18-He'll just run away. His death will not be onscreen.
19-"Here, take Leia." "Alright a baby! Score!"
20-"Oh, I think I'm having a cardiac arrest!"

Run time: 35 minutes.

(edited: added the 35 minutes, somehow it didn't show up)

You obviously didn't watch that episode 2 scene, in which a 6 year old child is a little brighter than Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I think GL should include a scene just before that one:

"Hey Yoda, I was looking for a lost planet, but I've realized that it was erased from the files, I mean duh, of course. But let's see if those dumb kids you were trainning can figure that out. I'll come to your class, interrupt the whole thing, and ask that obvious question. Let's see if they can figure it out."
"Dumb those kids are not. Meditate on this I..."
"Oh shut up. Let's do it, right? Pretend you are surprised when you see me, ok? See ya later."
"Later I shall see you too."

I think GL should have a online chat with fans just to answer these crazy questions, like "how do they go to the bathroom" and "does jabba have sex". And whatever he answers, that's the official answer.

Well, aren't they going to film a prequel, of some sort? The Hobbit? I've started to read The Hobbit, had to stop in the middle of the book, I couldn't take it anymore. Hey Tolkien, wherever you are, no offense right? I mean, you created one hell of a universe, and modern fantasy and RPG wouldn't exist if it wasn't for you, but... I rather watch rebels destroying the death star than watching a hobbit serving cake to dwarfs.

Oh no, not the "ewoks couldn't win" thing again...

And about the stormtrooper clones thing: isn't it obvious? At first, GL created then as a mercenary army, they were hired/drafted by the empire. But then, when he came to the prequels, he had to come with an explanation for that "clone wars" line, and he thought "wait a minute, stormtroopers, clones, yes Georgie-boy this could work!" I mean, take C3PO, when you guys watched the original trilogy, have you ever thought he was created by Darth Vader himself?

"You are part of a... wait a minute, is that C3PO?"
"Oh no, artoo, he saw us! We're doomned!"
"It is! It is you! Threepio come here, it's me, Anakin! Your creator!"
"Anakin? Little master Annie, that's really you?"
"Yes! Oh screw this dark side empire thing! Threepio, come with me, we're going home!"

I partially agree with Jimbo, and I belive we need even more people who love the SE here, so we can properly discuss this hearing the two sides of it, people who dislike it and people who like it. If you guys know someone who loves the SE more than the original, bring them here! That's right! We need to hear from them too.

But if such person, no matter what side he is, gets annoying, or insults other forum members, than we have to avaliate if that person should remain here, not because of his opinion on the SE thing, but because of his acts. And so far, I haven't seen Jimbo do anything really offensive. So, my answer is no, do not bann him. A person should get VERY annoying to deserve being banned.

He was born of virgin mother, birth was prophsised long before he was born, he is tempted by the dark side (devil), he begins off with special powers and without sin, he dies to save everyone. Oviously Jesus never went nuts before saving everyone but there are definute similaritys.

Uh.. she was a virgin? I mean, I know Anakin has no father, but... there are a lot of men in Tatooine. Men with needs.

Seriously speaking, I like this religious paralel between star wars and christianity. Jesus was crucified and reborn, Anakin was thrown into lava, and "reborn" in a way, but he was reborn as evil. So... is he the anti-christ?

There are a few people (let's say, about +80% of the world population) who hasn't watched it. Maybe some of those people will get interested in buying it. And a lot of people don't ever REMEMBER there was a special edition. And most of the fans will just say "oh well, i hate this version, but... i gotta buy it." And I wouldn't call idiots any of these kinds of people. If people want to buy it, let them buy it, it's not fair calling people idiots just because they want to watch the SE. And I bet that if the original classic version was released on DVD at the same time, SE would still sell a lot of copies, because ordinarie people would think "ok, this version has more scenes on it. why would I spend money on the other version?"

As far as I know, for some time both signals will be broadcast. After that, if you still want to use your old TV you will have to buy a box to convert the signal.

One interesting thing that happened here in Brazil (where I live) is that when they began changing from b&w to color, the signal was only broadcast in color, in PAL-M, a system that would work on both b&w and color TVs. Did they have to broadcast 2 different signals on the US?

So the R rating rumor returns? (wow, RRRR, R rating rumor returns)

I would love to see a NC-17 rated Star Wars movie (due to gory realistic violence), wouldn't you?
