So, now I have my classic Star Wars and to hell with the Special Editions.

OK, I know you don't like them, but isn't wishing eternal damnation on them a little much?

Chyron8472 · 10/13/2011, 04:58 pm

Wishing eternal damnation on George Lucas would be too much. However, for the Special Editions to be cast into oblivion would be a blessing to say the very least... especially that stupid Jedi Rocks song.

They're already being tortured down there, but making them listen to Jedi Rocks is way too cruel even for someone like Hitler or Osama bin Laden.

Darth Maul is being brought back to life in the Clone Wars cartoon at George Lucas' request.

Sure, why not. He was underused.

What is this I don't even.

He was a fairly pointless character to begin with. I'm sure he'll be no less pointless here.

Chyron8472 · 10/13/2011, 08:22 pm

Such is the trend with pointless changes George likes to make.

You know, what baffles me all the more is how little effort ILM is putting into fixing certain problems, such as Luke's lightsaber in ANH being green; Vader's lightsaber being pink; lightsabers having dull colored cores; and additionally the various continuity errors never fixed.

Many issues were successfully fixed by the likes of Adywan, so I don't know why it should be so hard for ILM to fix, especially since the Star Wars franchise ought to be the LucasFilm's most important property.

You should get that looked into for the sake of your poor suffering Star Wars discs...

GOUT or "George's Original Unaltered Trilogy," refers to the Bonus discs from the 2006 Original Trilogy DVDs

It's the Special Editions that have gout so bad it hurts.

Are any of the deleted scenes worth it? We haven't see them over the past 30, 40 years. Are any of them any good?

You can view a lot of them on YouTube. Personally, I didn't find them to be all that exciting, with the possible exception of the alternative opening to Return of the Jedi.

That's actually George's reasoning behind it.

Hey, they brought him back in the comics, so why not for real?

Oh yeah, I totally know what you mean. I had always interpreted that scene as Darth Vader considering whether he should eat calamari chunks or bantha steaks for dinner that night. Now I know better.

Are you fucking serious?!

Sorry, I lost my sense of humour around the same time that C-3PO misplaced his hetrosexuality chip!

That doesn't make sense. You wouldn't know when that occurred at all! Though Star Wars events can be measured relative to each other in terms of Galactic Standard Years, but comparing those and events recorded in earth time(that is, the loss of your sense of humor) is impossible, as the only relevant information that we have is a vague assertion that the events of the Star Wars films as late as "Return of the Jedi" occurred "A long time ago" relative to their years of release. We can't even take the years of Grimm's Fairytales written relative to the timespans they cover in order to get a baseline, as that's assume that "A long time ago" is equivalent to "Long, long ago", which itself is an unfounded assumption. Since there's no basis of comparison, you can't really make a claim about something that happened to you occurring in tandem with an in-universe Star Wars event.

Chyron8472 · 10/19/2011, 07:52 pm

I think that instead of measuring that event in terms of chronological in-universe time, one should measure it in terms of the movie production timeline.

Having never seen the Clone Wars show, I'm assuming Davies is saying 3PO in the prequels sounds gay. In the real world production timeline, I figure 3PO would then have "lost his heterosexuality chip" (as Davies puts it) sometime before or during Attack of the Clones. If only referring to chronological order in-universe, one would have to say that, thanks to George, he (retconningly) didn't get one until some time before A New Hope.

LuigiHann · 10/19/2011, 08:03 pm

C3PO has always sounded gay, as a result of being both British and timid at the same time.

Also just because 3PO is easily scared and voiced by a Brit, that doesn't make him gay. I would say prequel-3PO sounds gay because his voice is, at times, noticeably higher pitched than in the OT, and because (thanks to George Lucas) he often has pun-filled and/or pop-culture-referencing lines of dialogue (eg. "oh, this is such a drag.")

More "C-3PO is gay" tomfoolery ...
