    I bet he's a genius and is waiting to release the originals up the most updated medium and mean while is just causing a fuss to keep fans interested .

    OMG that first "no" from Vader in the Blu Ray one had me in hysterics! I still can't stop loling.

    So, there's a Star Wars porn parody coming out. You wouldn't really know from the trailer that it's porn though, it comes across as just a crappy comedy parody.

    YouTube trailer. Don't worry, it's safe for work.

    As much as I pretty much hate that this exists, I have to say I'm kinda impressed they actually even have Jek Porkins in it.

    Maybe Lucas felt he had to spell out Darth Vader was unhappy his son was being electrocuted by having him say "Noo" "NOOOOOOOOOOOO".

    I thought of this. Perhaps he's holding out on a decent release of the OOT so he can milk making changes for all it's worth, then go back to the originals to make more money once interest in any further changes has been tapped out completely.

    Like New Coke and Coke Classic, only over a longer time and with more spite on the part of the one making changes.

    Wow. And he even dressed for the occasion. Now THAT'S dedication.

    I would've gone with "Proof that George Lucas has been trolling for years," but that's just me.

    I was in HMV today and they were playing a new hope on blu-ray, and it looked pretty awesome.

    What's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to be rude?

    Anyways, my computer is a macbook laptop, if anyone wants to finish this project, I'll send you the map file, you can play with it, use it or not use it. Finish it for me if you want to. It's mapped in Outcast, but could probably be move into Academy with little to no work.

    PM me if you want the files.

    The booklet needs to go somewhere. Stop complaining.
    Yes, the booklet has to go "somewhere". But it did not have to go over, oh, the entire main cast of half the movies contained in the set. It's also not just that they're covered by the booklet, but that they're also sitting in the far back corner, portrayed as smaller than just about anybody else, when a few random background characters are hanging out with R2 front and center.
    Also: R2D2 is huge and he doesn't have a single line in these movies that you can even understand.
    R2 is one of the best-characterized of the entire cast. It's extremely easy to tell from the interactions of other characters that R2 is a smarmy smartass(If you take off this restraining bolt, I might be able to play back the whole thing....ah, thanks. Wait, what message?). It's easy to tell from his actions that he's brave and loyal. There's a human actor in that tin can, making all of the movements, and managing the lights himself, with very minor remote control. Far from simple electronic beeps and boops, R2 had an entire line of voices made by sound designer Ben Burtt, who wasn't happy with an easy way out of just producing unintelligible and indistinct beeps. The voice of R2 was designed to sound electronic, of course, but to also have a childlike quality to it, and the entire voice deserves a great deal more credit than you're willing to give it credit for. R2-D2 is often cited as Lucas's favorite character, and he was at various points of production considered the "narrator" of the film. Structurally, his place is incredibly important, as he and C-3PO tie the entire narrative together. While R2 and his counterpart are not present in the original story synopsis for "The Star Wars", they do start showing up in the first draft...
    A huge explosion rips a large hole in the ceiling of a subhallway. A-2 and C-3 are in a state of shock as they scramble through the rubble. There is a constant sound of creaking and snapping as the sections of the hallway resettle in the fortress superstructure.
    A-2
    You’re a mindless, useless philosopher. Come on! Let’s go back to work; the system is all right.
    C-3
    You overweight glob of grease. Quit following me. Get away! Get away!
    Suddenly, the hallway lurches, and a dead trooper falls through a gaping hole in the ceiling. The foot of a carcass is caught in the rubble and it hangs upside down, staring at the two robots. A-2 grabs C-3 and they cling to each other in terror.

    ...and are core elements ever since. Lucas always felt that a comedy duo was important to this film. C-3PO and R2 are directly modeled after the peasant characters Tahei and Matashichi in Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, among I'm sure countless asian cinema-style comedy duos that George Lucas saw in the samurai and other historical asian films that inspired Star Wars. To denigrate R2 by essentially labeling him a beeping trashcan shows a dire lack of understanding of both the character and the film as a whole, and acts as an insult to the variety of people whose contributions created a distinct and vibrant character.

    I agree.

    My computer is named R2D2 for all of those reasons. Someday, I will upgrade it to the point where it will tell me what an idiot I am all the time and I won't even know what it's saying because it will be in some computer language that I don't understand.

    If that's Part I, then someone already linked it earlier in the thread. Still interesting though.

    Wait, now I'm confused. You keep waffling on the would you/wouldn't you replace all of humanity with Alcoremortises.

    I like to keep people guessing. And then, while everyone is focused on whether I want to completely populate the planet with clones of myself...then, that is when I will strike with something completely arbitrary, like an army of mole people. Harry Moleman will lead the charge, screechy voice striking terror into the hearts of man and woman alike. I will sit back in my underwater fortress, slowly petting a long-furred white cat in my enormous high backed chair, waiting for spies from the MI6 to discover that my ventilation shafts are, in fact, far too small to crawl through.

    which immediately brings to my imagination a super-spy Warwick Davis.

    Clearly, we've been looking at Star Wars the wrong way for a long time. Bib Fortuna, Boss Nass, and Shmi Skywalker are all much more integral to the saga then whoever those people in the back are.

    I don't know why we're worrying about MI6 and Warwick Davis penetrating our ventilation shafts (that's what she said?) in this thread. A proton torpedo seems more appropriate to this thread.

    It's not impossible. I used to bullseye Warwick Davis in my T-16 back home...

    Apologies for the double post but I've just uncovered another change that Lucas has made for the 3D re-release of the Star Wars saga. Observe...

    They are just panicked and get these in HD now before there are more changes for the 3D-version.

    It's more proof that people are hopeless consumer whores.
