That's the first edit of any one prequel film. I think this is talking about edits of all three into one film?
I should never have doubted.
Yeah, the mockups that radically change Geonosis's look seem more doable.
Assuming your comparisons have been matched to Puggo Grande...
Isn't Puggo technically our most guaranteed-to-be-original, other than the cropping?
I've never really been super-hung-up on things like Obi-wan stretching the truth or lying, but I suppose you could make the change. OT Obi has been a liar ever since Vader turned out to be Luke's father, and that's fine. Saying inaccurate things like "The" is alright too; it's not like you can really fix the lack of Qui-Gon mentions later in Yoda's hut.
But yes, probably doable.
What Harrison Ford interviews have you been watching?
So this is still the worst thread ever?
Any particular moments in the film that we wish Nad could take a picture of, if only cameras were allowed?

Asperger's is a syndrome, not an insult. On the internets, though, it's often used as a way to point out someone's unacceptable inability to understand irony, hyperbole, or priorities and degrees. Ludicrous behavior like that is what is meant by Asperger's (when used on the internet), not so much an actual claim about a disorder only a psychologist can diagnose.
While this may be true in some corners of the internet, that doesn't make it right, nor does it make it acceptable here. I am no expert on the rules here and not a moderator anyway, so obviously that's a matter for the mods to decide.
However, I will say that just because many people consider it acceptable doesn't mean that they should.
Of course, the order/alignment of the VFX blades isn't necessarily the same as the order of the physical props, particularly when they're cross in such a way that, were the effects looking correctly (ie pre-2004), you couldn't tell.
Well, he did do that ridiculous thing with the bullets and the bricks in TDK.......
No no he showed us the source of the breathing - that weird twirly bit.
In which case Ady has ruined EVERYTHING by fixing 3PO's motion when turned off in ANH in Ben's house.
Just watched the scene, and I agree that Bespin's not in the Anoat system.
But I'd like to point out a new inconsistency: C3PO, who is not even turned on, can be seen moving, as if breathing. Droids don't breathe!
Here at OT.com, we don't usually care what Wookieepedia says, because we try to stick to a films-only canon.
On the plus side, maybe the new version of AOTC will have Williams' proper score? Maybe? ....

tldr; I brought it up as a joke, in the "presenting long chewed pet peeves as a novelty" sense.
Well... now I feel silly.
tl;dr - Relativity makes it all work, and makes Luke's life make more sense as a bonus.

Oh... and... SOLO HAD NO LIGHTSPEED BUT MADE IT TO BESPIN!! PLOTHOLE!!!!
This has been discussed ad nauseum, but I'll explain the "No it's fine" side:
Bespin is not too far away from Hoth. Not in the same planetary system, but nearby. We do not know how long it takes them to get to Bespin. In fact, all we know for sure is that while they're en route:
Vader waiting has no real time problems. The man can wait with the starfleet doing Imperial things for as long as he needs. He's not likely to find the Falcon during this gap, as the Falcon is flying in the big empty spaces between star systems and that's just not very easy to search. Besides, he's counting on the bounty hunters to turn something up whenever the Falcon reemerges at spaceport from wherever they disappeared to (remember, Vader doesn't actually know where they went).
The longer Luke trains with Yoda, the more plausible ROTJ becomes, as he can learn loads and loads from Yoda, but only really get the practice and meditation he needs to be a Jedi in between ESB & ROTJ (thus explaining why he's not so much a Jedi during the ESB duel). This is, for me, the biggest thing in favor of the Hoth->Bespin journey being long.
As for the Falcon and Slave 1 flying for so long... They don't have hyperdrive, only their engines. Spaceship engines are never really well explained in Star Wars (because it's a space opera, thank god), so we don't actually know much about how much they can accelerate a ship, for how long, fueling, etc. However, if we assume that they just put the engines on FULL-GO-FAST for the whole trip, then perhaps we can say that they spend the whole trip accelerating up to as near lightspeed as they can go. Relativistic effects become noticeable, and the occupants of both the Falcon and Slave 1 experience a far shorter journey than Luke does while training. In this way, we solve their food problems.
No, I don't know how Fett manages to not be detected. Perhaps he follows (somehow stealthily) for a short period, long enough to get their heading and extrapolate where they're going, then turns off the engines andlets them fly away a little longer so they won't notice him when hyperdrives back to civilization to bounty hunter things. Later, knowing approximately when they'd arrive at Bespin, he informs Vader and they all hyperdrive to Bespin just before the Falcon arrives.
And yes, I'm introducing relativistic effects in a movie series where spaceships move like WWII fighter planes.
Yeah, the hint really did defeat the purpose.

Also, why doesn't Luke just use the force on the switch for the Rancor's cage instead of throwing the damn skull?
Would have been another good way to prove his Jedi-ness, huh?
To be honest, Obi-wan gives enough funny faces when meeting the droids in ANH that I don't see an inconsistency there.
3P0 and R2 aren't together and thus are not the true main characters for large parts of the PT.

Or maybe Boba Fett's gun can fire it's barrel as a projectile weapon.
Don't say it! The EU will include it in a book!
Thanks!
But why big images containing text? It's inefficient and makes the page slower. I guess I can understand having the pictures of the characters (although I think we all know what they look like), but you can easily have just the little pictures along with regular text, instead of great-big-image-files.
We can't see giant images that get cut off because they're too wide.
Also, approximately none of that looks like it actually needs to be an image, which mean it's essentially wasting bandwidth. Text please.
