NOOO! Jar Jar to appear in Return of the Jedi DVD

[The Mad Kaiser]

At which point did Lucas start hating us?

He always felt superior to us, but when we pointed out what a 'parsec' was for the ten-zillionth time, he lost it.

I'm wholeheartedly looking forward to the new SW:SE. All the changes look to be improvements over the previous SE. I really don't mind the Jabba scene. It may not flow as smoothly as without, but it was filmed in 1976 and is indeed a piece of SW history. It might be an editing revision, but it isn't a story revision, which I think is a key distinction.

Yeah, I agree completely. The Jabba scene is part of the story, it was originally filmed, and even the novelzation of the movie includes it. It was cut because Lucas couldn't come up with a goo concept for Jabba at the time, and stayed cut when slug Jabba was introduced in Jedi.

The ESB:SE is pretty much DOA for me, however, for reasons already mentioned. Confirmation that all of Jeremy Bulloch's lines as Boba Fett have been redubbed by Temeira Merueson(sp) and the dialogue change between Vader and the Emperor just seals the deal. They might as well have Snowtroopers storming echo base with walkie-talkies and Gungans cheering when Luke gets his new hand. I'll keep my laserdisc player hooked up to my TV and will just watch the THX LD until I pick up a bootleg DVD of the original.

I disagree. Luke screaming is pathetic, Vader's redub is horrible, and I could live without the "improved" wampa. Still there's the transparency fix with the snowspeeders during the fight with the walkers, and the more open view of Bespin with the windows and such look pretty good. I'd have to say though, that Empire was a pretty solid movie to begin with, and there's little reason to go back and redo most of it.

But cutting out two seconds of dorky ewoks celebrating and replacing it with two seconds of dorky gungans celebrating isn't that huge a step down. A step down yes, but it doesn't break the movie.

The picture that was on the website given above looked like a shot of that city where a lot of the action takes place in TPM. So the scene will probably be a long the lines of the celebration scenes that are already in SE Jedi.

Where's a rocket-wielding kiddie drug addict when you need 'em. Shame on George!

He's more of a caffeine junkie, since his dad owns a coffee shop, just so you know.

And I need a list of the final celebration shots for RotJ:SE:

- Endor (well, duh)
- Coruscant
- Naboo
- Cloud City

what else? Kashyyyk?

Ah, that's makes more sense. I could have sworn I heard a line in the show that mentioned 'coccaine'. Guess I was wrong. I wasn't paying attention 100% while it was on.

Look what I found.
