Consider my "little bit" added to the pot. Once things calm down, I'll revisit the issue and see if more needs to be done, and what I'm able to do then.
Spudz777 Donation: REVISITED. Is it done yet?
Not even ABC? You're saying darker than Lost or Agents of SHIELD and more like Sopranos and The Walking Dead?

There's quite a few episodes that show Anakin's [] conservative views.
Conservative views?
Tell me more.

Technically, Coruscant was there before PT.
Well I don't mind seeing some stuff introduced in the prequels (planets, double-bladed lightsabre etc.) but I don't want to see crap like "midichlorians" or "chosen one" and certainly don't want to see any characters from the prequels (for example using Hayden as Anakin's ghost is the stupidest thing I can think of atm).
No one in the ST timeframe should know any more about midichlorians or anything else that's only in the PT than they did in the OT. Luke is the last Jedi after RotJ- where is he going to pick up terms like 'padawan' or 'younglings' if they weren't used around him when he went through his training?

They can (and should) "ignore" what's happened in the EU over the 40 or so in-universe years since RotJ. By this I mean they don't need to bring any of it up.
I think this is best. A good writer can work within this space and not outright contradict the EU while not making a lot of references to it either.
I assume that in the history of the Cinematic Marvel universe that the American Desert Storm events still happened... but I don't think it's ever come up. Still- nothing has occured in the films that would contradict it having happened.
Everyone said:
Chewie is dead in the EU.
This is the biggest problem as far as I can tell. However, Mr. Baca is sort of a problem no matter how you slice it. Let's assume that in the new continuity that Han and Leia did in fact get married (after he lost her to Space Fabio, kidnapped her, gave her a planet, told her that he was a king, and... ) and had kids. They're all settled down, and perhaps grandparents by the time the ST rolls around.
So... Han's roommate from his bachelor years is still hanging around? Doesn't he have his own wife and kids (grandkids)? I mean, it's cool that he and Han are awesome smuggling partners when they're young... but Han gets to settle down and Chewie doesn't?
That and Leia definitely makes Han sell the Falcon after they get married. She doesn't say anything about it right away, but she keeps pointing out how often it breaks down and how costly the repairs are, and oh! aren't those new family cruisers so nice! and Lando bought a new ship, let's go see it, and... well... it's what happened to me anyways.

Also watched the first season of Twin Peaks. Don't quite get the hype.
IGNORED!
Oh, and for your information, Mr. Bloodynose, it's not h"ype". It's deep love.
(and also- if you're not onboard during season one, don't bother with 2 or Fire Walk With Me)
I've been hearing lots about John Scalzi, and how he is the modern Asimov or Herbert or Ellison.
I like SciFi and was interested, but I don't usually take it as... seriously as those 3. I enjoy romp more than sci-fi, I guess. At any rate, in addition to comparisons to the above, I've also heard that he's really good.
I've just picked up The Android's Dream and Redshirts which I've begun reading. Just a dozen pages in... but it's got my attention.
I've worked in quite a few satellite ops centers. They all look like the enterprise.
I think it's part fanhood, but I think it mostly comes from it being a good design for a commander to coordinate lots of different technicians doing seemingly unrelated tasks.
Oh. I have avatars turned off.
Eh?
Anybody* can learn to play piano. Certain people have more or less innate talent. They can be discovered and encouraged to develop that talent.
*Nearly.
Hmm... in light of that, $5 went from being a deal to being a rip!
Still worth it though.
And sadly my BS2 is not from Steam, but from Gamefly. :(

Amazon has BioShock 1 and 2 Steam keys on sale in a bundle for $5.
Would you kindly stop talking about Bioshock on sale!
Xbox marketplace has all of the BioShock 2 DLC on sale through today. Minerva's Den is $5, which should be a nobrainer for Xbox based BioShock fans. I also really liked the Protector Trials, which frankly surprised me because I don't usually play much of the 'arena/trial' content in these kind of games.
Minerva's Den is now available on Steam! And, what's more, it's on sale for $5, but not for long.
Formerly, Minerva's Den was only available for PC through the now defunct Games for Windows Marketplace.

[Carrie] was great in ESB and not so in ROTJ...
Look Bingo, I think you may be alone in this. Carrie was great* in RotJ, it's probably her best performance in the trilogy.
*And by great, I mean hawwwwwwwt.

We played a game on the foursquare court, but it was like tag. I can't remember what that was called.

Kasdan on the other hand challenges Lucas all the time
Well these conversations prove that the notion that prequels failed because no one challenged Lucas is wrong. It is pretty clear to me now that he always had it his way. Luckily in OT he had relatively great ideas as opposed to the prequels.
No, it reaffirms what we already knew, which is that Lucas got to have it all his way on ROTJ and the prequels.
Even though RotJ ended up the way George is proposing here doesn't mean that the end product isn't better for the disagreement.
Having a really bad idea, and getting called out for it, has the potential of being turned into a mostly bad idea. Not getting called out- less chance of that happening.
I think no-men like Kasdan helped make RotJ as good as it is- and his/their presence was sorely missed in the PT.

...too lazy to type well?
From Dark Empire II, I really liked a lot of the side story- Ossus comes to mind. The first Dark Empire ends in such a way that you can't really not continue it... but Dark Empire II isn't very good. Empire's End has no redeeming qualities that I can remember.
I really enjoyed the parallels betwixt Dark Empire and the Tales of the Jedi comics. Dark Empire II had some of that.

I used to carry a bullet in my pocket marked 'KJA' since he used to be the guy who ruined Star Wars. (Guess which bullet I carry now?). However, Jedi Academy was only the beginning of the end and I can still enjoy it to some degree. If I had to prune the post RotJ down to the nubs, I think Jedi Academy would squeak in. It introduces a few long standing EU points- like the, SPOILER, Jedi Academy.
If the resolutions and the hookups are the same, I'd say there's no difference.
Generally, I'd say it comes down to DVI and Display port over HDMI and higher/less common resolutions. 1080p for a computer monitor (especially a big one) is quite low.

So part of an online class I signed up for requires you to play LOTRO.
What class is that?
