What, no skeleton butler?

Forgive this late reply, but a thought occurred to me just now: isn't one of the properties of a lightsaber wound cauterization? My point being that Luke wouldn't necessary be "swimming in a sea of blood, bodily fluids, and organs" if the intense heat of the initial cut sealed in the juices and simply left a sleeve in…

Oh Lennie, your callous disregard for life makes me chuckle so.

You may kiss the hive.

That is not dead which can eternal lie. Yet with strange aeons even death may die.

Just watched it happen to my wife ('s character). Still there.

I actually really enjoyed the way BSG ended, but I think I'm in the minority. You've made it this far, why quit?

Perhaps the alternate Marty wasn't replaced, but actually went back in time to stop himself from growing up to become a yuppie and ended up in original Marty's dysfunctional family timeline.

Except every single example you listed (even Gone With The Wind to some degree, despite its length) omitted aspects of the books from which they were adapted.

I may be wrong about this, but I'm fairly certain that while the initial assault on Dol Guldor occurred during The Hobbit, it ended with Sauron being driven out and forced to take refuge in Mordor. It wasn't actually destroyed by Galadriel until just before or after the One Ring was cast into Mt. Doom.
