I really don’t have a problem with the idea that the death of the Emperor suggests the death of the Empire. It’s a logical conclusion. My problem is with how they edited this new scene. It’s all about the passage of time. By cutting from the Ewok celebration to scenes of the Empire falling, and then back to the…

Sure, the Jabba scene was kind of cool, but it doesn’t add anything to the movie. It takes away from Jabba’s reveal in Jedi also. Before, Jabba was this unknown quantity in the first two films, a vague threat hanging over Han’s head. Then he is finally revealed in the OT’s climax as this giant, menacing slug…

Oh, I caught that. I was just entering into the spirit of things. Maybe I should have added a smiley as well. : )

Oh please. You can’t spoil a movie that is 37 years old, especially one like this.

The Yub Nub song is a better ending than the one they put in. It’s not a bad song, it’s just a bad edit. Here’s what happens- they cut from the ewok celebration to scenes across the galaxy showing the Empire falling across the galaxy, including a scene from the imperial capitol on Coruscant. That’s all fine and…

I think the whole “Han Shot First” thing does detract from the movie. Han’s character arc in these movies is one where he transforms from self-involved, amoral criminal into a selfless rebel hero. In the original cut, Greedo doesn’t shoot at all. In other words, Han kills him in cold blood. This sets the stage for…

I have something of a love-hate relationship with the Special Editions. For the most part, I never had a problem with most of the changes. Sure, some were awkward, like that giant dinosaur thing (a ronto?) that walks across the screen when Luke and Ben first arrive in Mos Eisley. It was unnecessary, but it didn’t…

I understand your anger, but it’s misdirected. I’d love more than anything for it to be true, but wanting it to be true doesn’t make it a story.

Dude, that is totally nuking the fridge. I’m sorry, but that would have been awful. She just happened to have a magic crystal around her neck that allowed her to withstand the heat, light, and shockwave of the rough equivalent of a nuclear blast?

Interns aren’t called “Bob” anymore. They have names like Skylar or Brayden.  

Obi-Wan takes the infant Luke to Tatooine when he’s what, 34 (Ewan McGregor’s age in Revenge of the Sith)?

I had that one! I should check my parents’ attic and see if it’s still around.

Link please!

Duh.

Isn’t that the beach where Charlton Heston found the Statue of Liberty?

Please, show some respect and use his full name. It’s “Mittens” Romney.

Seems a bit like a human habitrail to me.

Ah, you beat me to it.

It’s Bill Murray. There’s pictures of him at St. Andrews with the same outfit on.
