A Little Star Wars News

I heard plans for episodes 7,8, and 9 have been abandoned. At the current rate of production, Lucas will be well into his 70s before they'd all be done. Guess he thinks he's got better things to do with his old age.

The problems I had with the Han/Jabba scene was that a) it didn't really add any new information about the plot. It just repeated everything Han and Greedo talked about in the bar, and b) it severly detracted from the dramatic impact of Luke (along with the audience) seeing the Millenium Falcon for the first time and saying "What a piece of junk!"

As for Darth Vader recognising C3PO or R2-D2, I figured all droids look alike to most people.

But, the point is that the original story & first three movies were written on the assumption of 9 episodes, only 6 of which will have occured by the end of ROTJ.

I fail to see how Vader brought balance to the Force. Just because the second-most-evil man killed the most-evil man, that's balance?

[Novdid]

Well it's meant that Luke somehow managed to get Vader back to the light...

[Gurm]

Well sheesh, I personally think that the Jedi Council is confused. Balance doesn't mean the good guys always win, now DOES it?

No it doesn't. But I don't see how the status of the two sides changed at all because of those two deaths.

I think Anakin brought balance by being evil. All those goody two shoes powerful Jedi running around.. there just had to be a foil to counter them, didn't there?

Gurm, sorry, but the digital beasties made it look way too fake on the streets of Mos Eisley. It looked like a realistic alien desert community in the original. Let me ask you all this: was "colorizing" the right thing to do to all those classic old movies? None of the colorized crap is around anymore, thank God.

Yes, Gurm, the Greedo scene was changed. I wasn't making it up. Looks damned stupid, too. I guess that's what happens when directors snort all their profits and then screw with their great successes.

I couldn't really see the point of three more pictures after ROTJ. THAT had to be about the happiest ending I've ever seen in a movie. Almost a little TOO happy!

KvH: True, colorizing as a fad has come and gone, but it did have one saving grace: before colorizing could be done, the film had to be completely restored and a new negative made. I'd think that alone would have made it worth it, as it would have helped preserve films that otherwise might have been neglected to death.

"Santa Claus Conquers The Martians"...Now THERE'S a movie in dire need of restoration. Seen it lately? The Martians aren't even green anymore!
