I motion that we refer to this mysterious figure as Batman from now on.

<p>Biggest problem is that the lasers disappear during the spare-parts release shot. Other than that, it totally works.</p>

<p>Those jokes were not very good.</p>

So, what's a good source for ROTJ storyboards?

<p>So, film a shot of a gloved hand tossing a lightsaber onto a burning Vader.</p>
<p>Not <em>impossible</em></p>

Aaaaaaaaaand there goes one of the classic OT.com gripes.

I really look forward to that script.

Yub nub is okay, but I can't stand "CELEBRATE THE LOVE / CELEBRATE THE LIGHT / CELEBRATE THE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE"

Yeah, I really do like the 97 or 04 versions of the ROTJ ending.

<p>You don't need the knighting scene at all. Anakin's dead, Palpy controls the galaxy. Credits. Opening Scroll of ANH introduced Darth Vader and BOOM there is the new bad guy. Obi-wan blames Vader for Ani's death and the viewer sees Obi lying to set Luke up to want to take out Vader - which, given Yoda's reaction to the news of Luke learning the truth, seems like a reasonable guess at their plan.</p>
<p>I do like keeping in delivering the babies to Alderaan and Tatooine, so that we know who Luke is when we see him. The bro-sis reveal in ROTJ is not that great, is it?</p>

Akwat, are you sure NBC wasn't broadcasting game of one of the other channels it has be using during the Olympics?

Akwat said:

their online streaming site requires you to have cable service, which I don't.

He's only using broadcast TV, which means he only has the one channel, not the extra ones (MSNBC, etc).

Star Wars quote...

Would the time travel elements of the story allow them to write-off the existing X-Men films (excluding First Class, obviously) as alternate universe, ala Trek?

People have noted this, but others have explained it away. I don't recall how.

Yeah, I don't see any meaningful difference there.

<p>Yeah, I dunno what's going on with the editor.</p>
<p>That being said, if we're talking about ROTJ Wishlist (which...we are), I'd put back in Moff J's later scenes.</p>

<p>Because the scene on the shores of the river is pretty good. Or, at least, it's pretty good for the PT.</p>

<p>I <em>still</em> think that you could just cut out Vader's arrival in the beginning of <strong>JEDI</strong> and just start with C3P0 and R2 walking up to Jabba's palace, and leave the reveal of the Death Star 2 when the Emperor arrives.&nbsp; Vader's arrival to the DS2 adds nothing and is redundant, as we're reintroduced to the DS2 with the Emperor.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Disagree. Vader's arrival and conversation with Moff J sets up the ominous news that "The Emperor is coming here?!". The fear in J's voice, followed by his immediate, trembling resolve to redouble his efforts, tell the viewer a <em>lot</em> about the Emperor.</p>

<p>What if it's okay for everyone to be tan in this movie?</p>

I still don't see why they can't make sequels with different actors, where Bruce returns to Gotham and reunites with Robin. Seems obvious to me.

How are you accomplishing this? Does it mean you'll be able to release audio tracks with all of Anakin's dialogue silenced, for other actors to give it a try?

If Batman went into politics, I hope his first act as President would be to make laws forcing Ridley Scott to make Prometheus make sense!

So, I've read that a short film (now unfortunately lost?) was shown in front of ESB in 1980. What else would have been shown? If you saw Star Wars in 1977, ESB in 80 or ROTJ in 83, what was shown before the film? I assume trailers, but I'd like to know which.
