Battle for the Galaxy--read the "other Star Wars"
All I know is I haven't seen the real prequels yet.

I think they actually added some CGI blood to Chewbacca's leg when Luke is going all kick-ass on Jabba's thugs.
I'm starting to wonder if Hayden Christensen was too stupid to realize that he was going to piss off fans by taking Sebastian Shaw's place as the ghost of Anakin, or if he's just too damn greedy to care. GL tells him the idea and HC goes "Hot damn, another few million in my pocket! Screw the fans, bring on this new scene and my new paycheck, baby!"
Gone is the warm smile of Sebastian Shaw, and in its place is the creepy, cross eyed glare of Hayden. Damn him.
The only thing scarier than Hayden's presence is the fact that I actually met a person who thought Sebastian Shaw's original ghost was "too creepy" and prefers Hayden's ghost. The Dark Side is taking over! Or maybe that one guy is just an idiot.
ROTJ always was the weakest of the original 3, but do you think that's because of director Richard Marquand (1938-1987) or George Lucas?
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

And yes, Hayden Christensen should have realised it was morally wrong to agree to replace Sebastian Shaw. He should have said no. And the guy who thinks it's an improvement is just an idiot.
Anyway, good work, Chefelf! I enjoyed that a lot and it's good to see this last part completed.
Also, I was very flattered to see you used my "A long time ago, in the early 1980s" quote. Great stuff.
With the rope around Han Solo's leg, I seem to remember some rope in the original version ~ but it was just some loose ends draping over his ankles. I don't know. I'd have to see the DVD...
wait a minute. No, I don't have to see the DVD because you've seen it for me.
Thank you for going through that for us, Nate.
And everyone else. I hope you appreciate what Chefelf did. He watched the Star Wars DVDs so we didn't have to.
Thanks mate.

That's so true. Way to take one for the team.
Show of hands here? I won't be watching the dvd's.

I've read that the working relationship between Lucas and Marquand was very, very bad. Perhaps Marquand was trying to be creative but Lucas was strangling his creativity.

Will not buy it. Will not watch it now. Disgusting.

You can't really blame HC. He signed a contract. It's not like he could say "No, I will not do it, I don't agree with your artistic vision." He has to do it. If he'd refused there would be someone else playing Anakin in Episode III.
Thank you for going through that for us, Nate.
And everyone else. I hope you appreciate what Chefelf did. He watched the Star Wars DVDs so we didn't have to.
Thanks guys. I do what I can. Funny, civilian_number_two bought them and had them shipped to me without even seeing them. I'm sure he appreciates it most of all.
Who's telling where it will stop. The Ewok movies, Episode III, this could go on forever!
Thanks to everyone for the continued support and appreciation. Hopefully everyone can at least have a little chuckle at the lists, bashers and gushers alike.
