This is probably a bit far-fetched, but couldn't Leia's "remembering" of been some force dreams when she was little but didn't realize they were dreams? She thought they were so real they actually became real later. And I know it was never implied, just a thought.

And I agree, the death scene was awesful and like the "love story" one of the worst performances I've ever seen on screen.

Yeah I like those a lot better with those logo's. Much better. Only one more suggestion and I'm not sure if you tried this or not. Instead of using the dark grey color for the color of the logo's, how about changing them to black or a very dark grey? I think that would really destinct that from the rest of the font. But I still like those much better then before, great job.

@ Gundrosen: Very nice job on your covers. You guys are really getting me interested in starting to do this as I never have before. I also like how nice and clean yours are which is very nice. One suggestion though. For the last 3 (of the classic artwork), is it possible to use the logos MeBeJedi posted on the top of your covers (instead of the logo's that are on there now)? I think that would look really nice if you could. I was also thinking for the spine of instead of putting the ANH just leave it as Star Wars like the original. Maybe even instead of the OOT you could put the year the movies were released and destinct them from that. I could be on the minority on the last couple things, but I'd love to see the original logos used in place of the ones you made on the top. Great job though, keep up the nice work.

I was wondering if we could get one feature added to the site. I was thinking something along the lines of a timeline (or a progress bar) to show how far your work is progressing and what needs to take place before it is finished. Then once you guys finish completing a portion of your project we know how long it has to go an how many steps are left.

I pretty much agree with you. The only thing that would make me buy the OT set is if they offered the OOT or maybe even fixed some of the issues with the Hope disc. Other then that, and I'd hold off and just buy the Sith DVD.

Saw this in EW this weekend and thought it was pretty good. Here are the questions.

EW asks readers to answer our "Sith" questions

Quote

EW asks readers to answer our 'Sith' questions -- Asking you to give us some answers about 'Star Wars' by Whitney Pastorek

So the Sith finally got their Revenge, and besides scoring a record-breaking worldwide four-day gross of $304.2 million, they also left us scratching our heads. Sadly, the nice folks at Lucasfilm were too busy rolling around naked in piles of money to help end our confusion, so we turn to you, loyal EW readers. Hold us like you did by the lake on Naboo.

1 How does Episode III — Revenge of the Sith's Ewan McGregor morph into Episode IV — A New Hope's Sir Alec Guinness in just 19 years? (Also, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru look like WB teens in Sith — they're old and cranky in Hope.) Is it Tatooine's desert climate? The two suns? Bad skin care?

2 It takes 19 years to build the first Death Star but just four to make the second fully operational. Did they use a better contractor, or did they just already know where everything went?

3 Are there no books to help Padmé better utilize her free time? Why all the staring into space and brushing her hair?

4 Why doesn't Obi-Wan recognize R2-D2 in A New Hope? And in the later trilogy, R2 appears to have lost the ability to catch things and leap friskily out of spaceships. Droid arthritis?

5 Why'd it take Chancellor Palpatine like 26 separate shout-outs to tell the stormtroopers to kill the Jedi? Couldn't Mister All-Powerful just set up a conference call?

6 In a world of Qui-Gons, Obi-Wans, and Anakins, where'd Padmé come up with. . .Luke? General Hospital?

Zion, one suggestion on the T-shirt. Take the www.x0project.com line below the logo and place it on the back. The front seems a bit cluttered with that there. Maybe make the font on the front a bit smaller. I do like the T-shirt though, but think those suggestions might improve it a bit.

Nice job on the site btw. Can't wait to see the finished project. Good work you guys!

Just wondering programs you guys use to make the DVD case covers? I use the Avery DVD Labeling kit to make my disc covers, but it doesn't have the case cover ability (at least that I think). I've never made them, but after seeing some of the nice covers here I've been thinking of taking a stab at it. What have you guys found to have the best outcome?

Is it possible to get a update on how this project is coming along? Haven't really been following these threads too much, but am very interested in seeing how they're progressing. Any time-table to possible completion on the horizen?

I realize all you guys are very busy but I think you should really look into updating your site and making it more informational. I'm a web designer by trade and would lend my services if you guys would like any help in that area (ie, designing, updating, maintaining your site).

Those are very, very nice but seem a bit too steep for my budget. I wonder why he charges so much when I was able to order when I got the LOTR extended version dvd box case for only $3 shipping from the studio (I realize he needs to make some $ on it).

Natalie's a fantastic actress and a goddess. I still dig her even with the shaved look (but I love her with the long hair). Of course, I wouldn't mind if she'd put on the pink wig she wore in "Closer". She looked so hot in that movie (even if the movie was just so-so). I'm really disappointed Lucass couldn't get a better preformance out of her, cause she's really a fantastic actress. I love watching her in "Beautiful Girls", she's just so cute and great in that movie. Even with the shaved look, she's still a goddess in my book.

As I stated in my post in Jay's review thread (on a scale of 1-10):

Ep. V: 10
Ep. IV: 9
Ep. VI: 8.5
Ep. III: 7.5-8
Ep. II: 5.5
Ep. I: 4

As I said in Jay's thread, if they expanded on some scenes I really think it would have been superb. Still very good, but I was at the perfect age to see Jedi so I can't rank it above that.

Also, if you haven't seen the film you shouldn't even post in this thread. You really have no basis to, just because you hated Ep. I & II.

Well, that's about one hour of sleep more than I got. And I will see it again. This will mark the first of the SW films I have seen more than once in theaters. At least that I recall.

Really? Even the OT or the prequils are you talking about? Ep I - I tried to see repeated viewings b/c in part I wanted to like it, but couldn't bring myself around to doing so. I also was in L.A. at the time it was out so I saw it in a really nice theater (coming from a college town w no big theaters). Ep II - I saw a couple times on a regular screen (like I said in my original post it was the best movie experience I ever had) and then saw it a 3rd on a digital screen. That was cool. Planning on seeing this a couple more times and once on a digital screen this memorial day weekend in Boston.

Nice review Jay. See you guys actually had the movie start at 12:01 (since your posting at 3:04am). Mine didn't start till freaking 12:35 (after the trailers). No clue what the hold up was, but on a 20 screen theater here in Boca Raton, 16 of the screens showed the movie. There were a few people dressed up, wish I brought my digital camera. This one chick was dressed up in the Leia slave outfit (which you always get) but actually looked amazing in it. I'm assuming the guy (with her) who dressed as Vader was her BF, so if he was he is a very lucky man.

On a scale of 1-10 I'd give The Sith a 7.5 or maybe 8. Menace gets a 4.5; Clones gets 6.5 (best movie experience of my life); Hope gets a 9; Empire gets a 10; and Jedi gets a 8.5 (I was at the perfect age for Jedi and can still dig the ewoks). Anyway onto the movie.

I think the best thing about ROTS is that it demonstrates there are gray areas in the Force; it's not as simple as light side/dark side. You'll see high-ranking Jedi performing questionable actions in the name of the greater good. You'll hear some characters question the motives of the Jedi, and it makes sense. You'll know that arrogance runs rampant on all sides. The deepest hurt is when two of our most beloved Jedi both admit failure.

That was the coolest part of the movie. You could really see from Anakin's point of view he thought he was doing the right thing. I loved how the Emporer manipulated him and fed off his fears to turn him. Also, after Mace disfigured him and he put on the hood for the 1st time, I was like wow.

I really wish he would have made the film about 20-30 min longer and extended some of the fight scenes. I wish the Mace Windu vs the Chanceslor scene was a tad longer, cause Mace was such a badass. I really wanted to see Yoda get f'd up by the Emporer and that's why he's a bit crazy when we meet him in Empire. Now we know he's a bit crazy just from being in exile for so long. I really liked the Ani vs Obi fight, but wish that were a tad longer also. Loved the move Obi-Wan had on Anikan, that was cool. Even though it was a complete sneak attack, I wish we sould have seen the Jedi fight back a bit and then get destroyed. Maybe I'm used to seeing them kick butt in the Clone Wars cartoon, but I felt a bit cheap seeing them get slottered that easily (especially by the Clones). Those were my major nitpicks with the film, everything felt a tad rushed and could have been drawn out a bit more.

I loved though how everything got rapped up and it felt like the OT. That Lucass did perfect. Overall, I really enjoyed the film and will see it again (when I'm not so tired). Need to take a nap when I get home from work tonight (going on almost 4 hours sleep).

Lucas didn't say that he was going to write or direct. All he said was that he was going to get it started and then he would hand it over to someone else to do while he moved on to other non-SW projects. I assume that he will at least write some of the stuff. He also mentioned that it would be like the Young Indy show. Whatever the hell that means is your guess and mine. As for the main characters...I don't know what he's going to do. The only other thing I've heard him say at these Q&A sessions is that there is a really good idea floating around right now that he thinks will work out great.
...

Oh ok gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up. It's sorta funny he mentions the Young Indy show when the main character was Young Indy. I read some other reports saying that they'll be using 2ndary characters from the prequels and OT so I guess we just gotta wait and see what they come up with. Sounds like they have an idea though which is good to hear.

Great recap Cable-X1 really enjoyed it. A few thoughts.

1. Why do I not believe Lucass about not releasing a HD DVD version? When the next gen HD-DVD players finally hit the market, you don't think he'll want to push the digital technology even further? I can believe him not releasing an "archival" set since he hates the OT that we all love though.

2. Not a good feeling he'll be writing and directing the TV show. What kind of show doesn't have main characters?

3. Like the idea of the Clone Wars turning into a 30 min show. Totally saw it coming with the last season. That was kick ass, hopefully the live action show will be as good as those were. Don't have a strong feeling though.

Yeah that wasn't JJ's finest work, but everything he's done since then has been real gold. Alias has been pretty damn good, and Lost has been GREAT.

AICN always seems to get the story right more times then not, so hopefully this is true and it will be PG-13. Still not trying to get my hopes up too much, but it seems to be shaping up to be a kickass film. Just don't want to be disappointed thats all.

I've really liked this new season so far. Each ep has been very good and gets me pumped for Ep III. I can really see them turning this into a 1/2 hour show, I think that's what they're leaning towards by making them 15 min this time around.
