The episode is pretty cool, though a bit slow for my 4 year olds tastes : )
I think in the prequels if they made shots longer and ditched the classical music for something a bit more experimental the prequels could of been saved. the jedi holding back emotion while the rhythm of the story is consistently epic just drags the jedi along who are supposed to be the leading characters.
Surprised no one mentioned this:
Random Star Wars thought of the day - The Millenium Falcon in the Star Wars chronology is over 50 years old. I hope in that time it got more upgrades that just a low profile antenna.
a 1000+ years falcon getting noticeable upgrades in a short 50 yrs period? what could be better than traveling to lightspeed?
lol for what, heavy metal? Rock? Hip hop?
John Williamsâ classical music renditions are as part of Star Wars as lightsabers.
If Obi and Ani were cruising around with their pants sagging in a lo-rider with the bass pumping in the background I really think Iâd have hunted down Lucas and punched him in the face. Jar Jar was bad enough, I think that would really have made me actually snap.

as a side note this video is embedded in the article is a lovely treat for us OG fans. Give it a listen 
Yoda is back
Best thing about this is that Yoda is back in his âmysterious old masterâ mode from the original trilogy.
soooooâŚ
I was thinking about something.
I was pondering that Luke Skywalker is likeâŚthe Michael Jordan of Force users.
hereâs why.
if you think about it, its sorta silly, the notion that one farm boy was able to single-handedly defeat an entire Empire made up of a million soldiers. But he did.
3 seconds on the clock, down by 1, Luke shoots(torpedoes), he scores, nothing but net, torpedoes just go straight in, donât even hit the rim of the shaft, wins the game. Like an all star. All on the 1st try, didnât even need to do a 2nd try with a 2nd run.
lets review.
Remember when he was lightsaber training on the FalconâŚgot capped in the ass by the little training droidâŚand Obi essentially blindfolded him and was like "try it again, but this time stretch out with your feelings and use dat Force."
and Luke was like âbut I cant see shit.â And Obi was like "Fuck seeing nigga. âJust Force Itâ like the Nike ads."
and Luke was like "ok"
what does he do? On 1st try of using The Force???
blocks all the droidâs shots.
like a boss.
and Obi was like "oh sheeeiit! this niggaâŚis the Michael Jordan of Force users! This nigga is getting drafted on my team, fuck this shit! quickest learner of Force powers eva! takes most peeps countless tries before getting the hang of it. This lil fool got it on first try! daaaaang."
This is why Darth had such a hard on for Luke joining the Dark side in Empire Strikes Back.
Darth recognized his talent too.
Darth and Obi Wan wanted to draft this natural talent bad. Get him to join their teams.
Darth in Empire was like "LukeâŚif you only knew the power of the Dark side."
Luke shoulda just asked his pops whats so good about the dark side.
if he had, Darth woulda replied,
"Son,
the Death Star is one giant battle station by dayâŚbut when nighttime falls,
this giant StarâŚturns into robot breathes one
giant
disco
ball."
Luke woulda been like âWha???â and Darth woulda explained "LukeâŚIâm your dad, and Iâm the biggest pimp in the galaxy. when weekends roll aroundâŚwe turn the Death Star into one giant strip club. We get all the bitches here from around the universe. We get em dancing and we just live shit out like a hip hop video."
then you see Darth walkin into the club with a bunch of stormtroopers, disco lights, stobe lights, music blasting, and everything shot in slow motionâŚshowin Darth throwing bills at bitches twerking and pouring crystal on naked backsides."
Luke be likeâŚ"So thatâs why Yoda told me not to get seduced by the Dark Side! if I had known all this I woulda never blown your shit up dad!"
Darth: "Son!"
Luke: "Dad!"
hugs.
Darth puts his arm over Lukeâs shoulder as they walk away together and says âSon, lesson one of the Dark ForceâŚonly have your knot made up of singlesâŚno fives, tens, or twenties. ever. and donât let the same skank linger for too long. and donât wear briefs, wear boxers and sweatpants for them lap dances.â Luke: "Iâm learnin so much already. Fuck was I doin in a bog with a lil ugly green midget for so long? where them Death Star bitches at? btw pop, I think Leiaâs my sis."
Darth turns, pondersâŚimagines scenario where she joins them and instantly ruins the party. Giving Darth and Luke disapproving looks with arms folded across her chest, nodding no no no to their Death Star strip club anticsâŚand tells Luke âuhâŚLeia doesnât need to know anything about this. Lets keep her out of our biz shall we?â
THE END.
Iâd hardly say he destroyed the Death Star single-handedly.
Besides he used to bulls-eye Womp Rants in his T-16 back home, they arenât much bigger then 2 meters.
Jordan kept losing until Pippen and Jackson got there. I donât think he won a championship until his 7th year. Thatâs hardly fast. I just donât know why youâd bother even making that comparison.
Pippen & Jackson=Han & Chewie. And youâre right, he wouldnât have made the game winning shot till they showed up at the last minute. Even all stars need back up.
SooooooooooooooooooooooâŚI decided toâŚI should mention I have a video capture/screen capture and can record videos on my pc screen rightâŚsoâŚI decided to record the digitally remastered âSpecial Editionâ version of A New Hope, manually remove all the detestable changes Lucas made using cgi additions and Greedo shooting first in the cantina and the rings around the planet explosions and add in through editing the original 77 scenes back in. wish me luck.
No one cares.
There is âsomeâ CGI with the ships that IMO made things better, but any of the other stuff (especially the additions to Mos Eisley) were not needed. The one thing that I never got was that they CGIâed the Falconâs take off and departure, but when Han said that he was going to perform some evasive manuevers, the ship just flies straight.
I came across this a few days ago. Apparently this was a project done by a guy named Adywan. He made some edits to the SE version. Here is the Tatooine Escape revisited.
I forgot experimental meant rock pop to the demented youth
I should of said ditched the traditional classical music for music that expresses in a way thats a bit more unique. Sigh, none of you are filmmakers anyway I donât know why Iâm talking to you about it.
Imagine taking your kids to this shit? Damn thats a lot of explaining to do.
I gotta admit I like that edit. Funny how a guy in his basement gets the revision right while Lucas got it wrong.
Not only that, but as I was rewatching the special edition version, I noticed that Lukeâs lightsaber got painted green in one scene while heâs training on the Falcon with the training droid then goes back to the blueish color!
LikeâŚWTF man!!! Câmon Mr. Lucas! lol, its like he is mindfucking us on purpose.
Imperial Knights would be cool to see in this new trilogy.
