Nitpicking the Deleted Scenes?

How about a nitpick review of the deleted scenes?
After all, this is where the famous "little Greedo" scene comes from in TPM, Padme's political speech in AOTC, and now, apparently, Yoda's dancing skillz in ROTS.
Now I've heard tell that the "deleted scenes" of these movies are not actually "canon" (unless they don't contradict what's seen in the movies and supported by at least one other source... like the novelisations or the screenplays), but still.
At least it would give us some more nitpicks!
Btw, Happy Halloween (soon!)

oh, there's more to criticize than not. That's why the SW forum has gone dead pretty much since Rots smoldered and simmered. We need more SW to captivate us. Give us reason to bitch.
I saw another tv spot for the rots dvd. I may rent it, just to hear luc-hiss defend his tripe. Especially the NOOOO scene, but after listening to him for two hours I figure I'll be a mind-dumb fanboy or will have tuned him out and just won't hear him anymore.
It really WAS a waste.

I never lived up to my grandiose plans of following the ROTS Reasons with reasons for the corresponding novelization (dreadful) and video game (beyond dreadful) because I was just kinda burned out on the subject.
Perhaps nitpicks for the deleted scenes. I look forward to seeing them. :-) I also look forward to getting the DVD for my birthday.
As for the Ewok Movies...
I bought them a while back with plans to do nitpicks a la the Holiday Special review I did. I never got around to it with the ROTS premier, etc. Maybe soon. :-)

I whole heartedly support nitpicks for the deleted scenes among other Star Wars related topics.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

You could also maybe do something kind of like your classic trilogy nitpicks... showing if the scene added or subtracted anything from the rest of the movie, if it should have been added or not, etc.
That would sure be a treat! It'd be like a nice revisit of the trilogy! Plus a lot of folks will say 'oh this deleted scene explains it all' so you could have your say on that!

The right amount of money could convince me, Storm.

Actually, I've found myself more interested in pointing out flaws in Harry Potter now, rather than Star Wars.
I thought "The Half Blood Prince" was probably the worst of the series. And the transition from book to movie hasn't been that great. I read a quick overview of what we are to expect in the new Goblet of Fire movie, and there are major changes from the book. The whole first task scene with Harry and the Hungarian Horntail dragon has been ridiculously blown out of proportion.

That damned Jedi code has expanded a lot from KOTR as Chef already pointed out but I can see that:
There is no emotion, there is peace
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge
There is no passion, there is serenity
There is no death, there is the Force
There is no spying, there is space puppies
There is no getting your ass kicked by the Sith, if so there is Dagobah."
All Obiwan and Anakin problems aside, what about the fact that for 2000 years the Sith did not exist? The US dosnt have a law on the books that if you get beaten up by Rome's Praetorian Guard you can't be a congressman.

That opens up so many more problems than already exist.
I'm not wishing to turn this into a Harry Potter discussion, but I found the Harry Potter books to be quite soothing to read after seeing Episode III destroy the final childhood love of Star Wars that was left in my soul.

Ha ha. I was just mocking the whole concept of Yoda going into exile. Thankfully, Lucas does NOT say "Yoda is forced into exile because he loses a duel to a Sith Lord", I was just having a bit of fun with the whole situation by making up some ridiculous explanation.

especially incomparison to what they were replaced by...
proof posative the man just wants to destroy the franchise...
i think GL feels about SW the way Andy Kaufman felt about his overpopular charcter in TAXI.
the funny thing is theres a deleted scene from AOTC where obiwan gets that weapon component analyzed by a professional robolab before trudging off to the 50s style diner to talk to 'Barf'.
insted we get a cut where he goes sstraight to the greesy apron wearing, patty flipping, forenzic expert!
