I wouldn't mind alot more speed in that fight. The fight in The Empire Strikes Back should be left alone. It makes sense Vader would fight slower since he want to bring Luke in alive and Luke has little training so that could work too.

About this "Ultimate Trilogy" thing, you talk about it like it's official, well, it is? Has anyone from Lucasfilm ever confirmed this? As far as I now, it's just a rumor, and not a good one.

And Luke Skywalker, yes, the OT has accomplished more, but hey, matte lines don't sell toys, and videogames, and thats what señor Lucas wants! Money! So he can build his own Death Star and blow Earth to bits.

I just thought of something: did GL made any screen tests with SW fans with the new trilogy? Maybe that would help...

Life of Brian is good, very good, but it can't beat "Holy Grail".

Spaceballs deserved a thread of its own! I just love Pizza the Hut, and Rick Moranis as a Vader-like villain.

Ny favorite one was one regarding the broadcast of "Wizard of Oz", in a local TV channel, and it was something like this:

"Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete stangers to kill again."

Advertising originaltrilogy on the SW Insider would be pretty much like advertising TV turnoff week on any comercial TV station. No can do.

I can't belive I'm talking about Jabba's sexual life here, but... I don't think he ever has sex with human beings. I don't think he ever has sex at all, I belive they reproduce by some other way, like the male putting an egg on the females mouth and stuff.

Actually the Solo stepping on Jabba's tail did not involve GL at all, it was created by the ILM animators that noticed Harrison Ford passed behind the actor in a way that would be impossible to do with that big old Jabba there.

I don't know if it has been said before, but... Pink Floyd live at Pompeii deserved a better DVD edition. That director's cut is pure cr*p.

Ok, about the bathroom thing: First, we don't know if the alien races have genitals and/or an anus, but I'm gessing all the races (including humans) who eat solid or liquid food let their digested excrements to come out of some hole thing. So they would have this pipe, with different sized attachments. You would pick one that would somehow fit your uh... hole, and attach it to the pipe. It would suck out all the excrement. Then, when you're done, water would flow out of it, cleaning the area.

Or maybe they are just filthy people, and do it anywhere, and let the robots clean it.

And I'm almost sure Vader wears adult diapers.

It is obviously Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I could quote this movie forever - I could even recite it completly. I've seen it close to 80 times, and it gets funnier and funnier. And just look at my signature, and you'll see what is my favorite scene.

Or how about Jar Jar coming onto screen and saying "Hey everyone, I'm also changing to the dark side... of the moon! (sings) breathe... breathe in the air..." (laugh track)

And everyone laughs, and freeze frame, and the executive producers names appear.

And in the main title text, we see something about a moose bitting GL sister.

With all this digital hi-res TV talk nowadays, and digital recording and stuff... Couldn't the movie makers, studios and TV statios agree on a standart universal format? A widescreen standart ratio, that would be use in every movie and TV show? And every movie theater and TV would follow that screen ratio. And that would end all those problems.

About the multi-language thing: I'm from Brazil. I can translate it to portuguese if you want. Just tell me what to translate, and I will.

Not a lot else to do on a space station on a Sunday afternoon except reminisce on days gone is there?

LOL

Vader and Tarkin are just... hanging out, 2 years before ANH.

"So, uh... You know, I had a master once."
"Really."
"Yes. His name was Obi-Wan Kenobi."
"He must be dead by now."
"Oh, no, he isn't. You see, he is hiding in Tatooine. One of my sons is there, too. But I just pretend he's not there. Don't call him or anything."
"And... he must be dead by now."
"No, he isn't! God, you never listen to what I say! He's alive. But we just don't hang out anymore, you see. Didn't work out."
"Yes, I see. Uh... I had a master too you know?"
"You did?"
"Uh... yes."
"Liar!"
"No, really. I had this master thing going on too."
"Oh yeah? What was his name?"
"Uh... Jack. He's name was Jack... Star...killer...son "
"Oh shut up."
"It's true. Jack Starkillerson. He taught me stuff like... Piloting ships and... Being all political and stuff."

"Right, stop that. Stop that now. Silly. Too silly."

What does his heart atack has to do with directing? Maybe he considered it a sign from God himself. And now that Satan (aka merchandise money) is on his side, he can direct again.

Serious titles:

Rise of the Empire
Rise of the Emperor
Face of the Emperor
The Dark Side
A Final Strike

Titles GL is considering:

And now for something completly different
Untitled
Empire 1 Jedis 0
Hey, Lady! (beeing said with a Jerry Lewis voice)
Mace Windu's final party
Palpatine's gory sex change
The force is not so force-y after all

I could go into plenty that I hated, but let's see if there are any positives first.

You know what this reminds me? That "LIfe of Brian" scene:

"What have the romans ever done for us?"
"The aquaduct?"
"What?"
"The aquaduct."
"And the road..." "And the wine..."

There are good aspects about the original trilogy, and about the new one. Greedo shoots first, and the new Jabba palace scene is one of the bad ascpets. The corrected visual FX, Yavin X-wings are some good aspects. I belive there is room for both the original and the special edition.
