May I introduce to you my new Star Wars Themed Band:

Beginning on the left:
Han "Guitar" Solo (Lead Guitar)
Chewrocka (Drums)
Luke Skyrocker (Vocals)
and
BassPlaya Leia (duh!)

Not Pictured:
Obi-Wan Rockobi (Band Manager, substitute Guitar)
"Eddie" Vader (Rhythm Guitar)

They currently tour as "Luke and the Nerfherders" but are looking for a better name.  Suggestions include:
Mark and the Hamiltones
Tyderium
White Wampa
White Tauntaun
Blink IG88
TK-421
and
The Kirks

They have a couple hit songs that you've probably heard before:
I Kissed my Sister (And I Liked It)
Millennium (Falcon)
Boba and the Fetts
I Wanna Cut Your Hand

(I am currently earning more money so they can have the guys can get better pants.  Yes, I know they are all wearing the default ones. And yes, Luke and Leia's expressions are a little off, but sadly taking Band pictures is not an exact science...)

What, no one wants to discuss my wild and baseless accusations?  No one wants to disagree with me?  Surely, VINH will come and tell me I'm wrong?

Hey look!  It's Ric Olie!!!

While we are on the subject of sci-fi shows Fox murdered, I read a few days ago that there is some talks of a Sarah Connor Chronicles direct to DVD film o tie up the series. That would make me a very happy man... I hope it gets made, just to give the show a sense of closure.

 Oooooo..... me too!  As long as it's good, anyways.  I guess I have to learn that more of something I like is not always something I like...

And IG88?

I don't think Lucas had enough planned in advance to give Williams to think about

 That's the most absurd- and truthful thing I've read today.

Who is this, really?  Is that you, Larry?  Uncle Robert?

Prequels?  What prequels?

RE: Circus performers.

I'm just curious what other assumptions would lead you to think that they might be lost circus performers.  Did Vader order a clown and some jugglers to lighten the mood after he choked their previous Admiral to death?  A highwire act to improve morale?

Well then, I'll be the monkey's uncle.

Speaking of Chinese Astrology, anyhow.

I think I was having waking Robot Chicken Star Wars dreams when I started wondering how the fitting process for Leia's brass bikini went.  I suppose a brass bikini isn't exactly one size fits all... so I have to also assume they had more than one on hand.  Maybe some with a few rancor teeth marks on them.  But I then I supposed that Jabba must employ some kind of unattractive lady of the house that takes care of all his young lady wenches.  That several guards would probably have to hold Leia still while this old hag goes through the pile of brass bikini parts until she finds the right set.

I should probably go do something to take my mind off of brass bikinis...

...an alternate universe where everything sucks.

I've heard some crazy ideas for alternate universes:

Where gravity pulls you up instead of down.

Where Hitler won WWII.

Where you're born old and get younger and younger until you become a 2 celled organism right before you cease to exist at all.

Where the Prequel Trilogy was actually good.

Where Superman landed in Russia.

But this is the saddest alternate universe of them all:  Where everything sucks.  :(

Ditto.  I was quite well prepared to say that  4-5-1-2-3-6 was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard.  I probably won't watch the prequels ever again, but if I did, I might give this a try.

Actually, maybe it's better I say it like this: I like the idea of this.  Maybe if the prequels were 'good' or 'watchable' I would watch them this way.  Your logic is pretty interesting, and keeping Han on ice a little longer and separating the Death Stars sounds good, but other than that I don't see the PT, as currently constituted, enhancing my enjoyment of the OT, regardless of where or when they are watched.  They're just not worth watching to me.

But good job- almost thou persuadest me.

I had always figured Boba Fett and Han Solo had some past not mentioned in the films, as to why fett hates solo.

Unrequited love?  Wait, is Robot Chicken in canon or not?

I have to think that there are a lot of "Mercenaries" in the galaxy that might generically get called Bounty Hunters.  They might hunt bounty when it's convenient, or run drugs or guns, or run security for shady (or not so shady) outfits, or take assassination contracts.  Probably even janitorial work, if it pays.

This is only my opinion, but I think most people here would at least partially agree with it.  Indy 4 may not be as bad as the prequels, but it is tonally more similar to them than it is to the IJ trilogy.  I would say Indy 1-3 and Star Wars 4-6 have more in common, and Indy 4 and SW 1-3 have more in common, than any other combination of movies from that pool.

I don't feel the need to bash everything GL does at this point.  I am still open to good Star Wars.  I just don't put up very well with bad Star Wars at this point.  That extends to most things really, even Indiana Jones.

A bounty hunter is, and I quote: "A guy who looks for a guy for money.  My sister is dating one!"

And a minor technicality, Boost... but you don't consider the other Bounty Hunters on the Executor to be real Bounty Hunters?  I understand Zuckuss and 4-Lom were there by case of a mistaken identity, and that IG-88 wishes he was out on the court dunking...  Dengar is mostly worthless, but Bossk, man... he's for real.  He's got quippy one-liners, a white tuxedo jacket, a mean left hook and everything!

If done, dare I say it?, correctly, then the prequels would lead you to believe that Obi-Wan had, in fact, killed Luke's father.  If Episode 3 ended with the Obi-Wan vs Anakin duel which results in Anakin's apparent death, then the viewer would leave the theatre thinking Anakin was dead at Obi-Wan's hand. 

Episode 4 starts, and we get introduced to Vader whom we do NOT immediately know or suspect to be a remade Anakin.  Obi-Wan tells Luke that this Vader killed his father, but we know better.  We trust that Obi-Wan is a good guy and all, but we find it suspicious that he's lying to Luke right off the bat, hiding his own guilt in the matter.  I know a lot of people don't like the "Obi-Wan the Liar" mechanic that starts at the end of ESB is developed further in RotJ, but I don't really mind it.  In fact, I would like the intrigue I just referrenced above.  Then, in ESB, when Vader tells Luke, "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father" the naive viewer thinks: "Uh-oh, here comes the truth about Obi-Wan actually killing Anakin, and that Vader had nothing to do with it!"  And then you're hit with an unexpected twist: "No, Luke.  I am your father!"

So yeah... Obi-Wan killed Luke's father.  Or at least he should have.

To clarify my comics comment, the comics take place between Star Wars and Empire, and then Empire and Jedi.

Well, I have an all new... sense... of your nick now.

rcb, do you have a link for the bomb you just dropped there?  Is it reimagined (the horror!) OT, or like the Empire or Republic comics where it takes place betwixt the movies?

Gaff, you're not referring to rumor that certain... um "features" of Carrie Fisher were "taped" (and would you use the "gaffer" variety in such an application?) down, would you?  If so, I think this thread has strayed VERY far from when VINHNY-Boy intended.

I haven't been to their site.  They have interview questions and you're supposed to video yourself answering them?

Hurray for Christopher Blair!

You're looking for love in al-de-raan places.
