      What I'd like him to say:

      "I'm sorry for all the childhoods I wrecked with The Phantom Menace and subsequent 5 years of crap that has come out of the Star Wars Franchise.

      I've decided to hire some good writers to help me write the next film and I won't be directing it either, I'm thinking of maybe given Daron Aronofsky or Guillermo Del Toro a shot at it, David Fincher is also in the running. In fact I think I'm retiring, spend some time with my kids, lose some weight, take some Community College writing courses.

      Except for some storyboard approvals I'll probably be removing myself from the whole thing.

      • He needs to lose some weight. Lucas is Jabba sized. There's no way he's gonna make it to another trilogy.

        • There's no way he's gonna make it to another trilogy.

          Unless he can get some decent collaborators and actual listen to them I can only see this as a good thing. Very few people can screw up SW more than George Lucas is doing right now.

      • Oh, man, am I tired of this. How in HELL does a movie made as an adult have any impact on your childhood, or even things you loved as a child? Do you seriously enjoy the original movies LESS because of the new ones? Why?

      • A-fucking-men.

        Retire already, Lucas, and let some fresh blood take over. You are completely out of touch with what's good in space opera nowadays.

        Criminy, I was a MAJOR SW geek, before it was fashionable to be one - saw it in theatre 6 times at the original '77 release. Now I'm simply disgusted.

      • The only thing that he'd have to do to get me to buy the DVDs if he he actually put the ORIGINAL FUCKING VERSIONS on there. I can't believe he's only releasing the special editions. What a way to shit on your fans who've been waiting for the original trilogy on DVD since the inception of the format.
      • As a few others have put - "ruined childhood??" - wtf are you smoking?

        I truly have no comprehension of someone being emotionally tied to something that can be rightly described as a FRANCHISE. Its the same as getting depressed because BK changed their relish recipe from when you were a kid so now its too sweet.

        I'm guessing you already have the Video and Laserdics in all formats and versions anyway. Save your money. Go out and buy some councelling.
        • I don't nbeed counceling. I'm over it. Episode 1 showed me how stupid this obsession with SW rerally is. Doesn't change the fact that George Lucas fucked around with something that was very important to me.

          Some guys wash and hand wax their cars every week, and use a car cover when they park it at work. Some guys have baseball stats memorized back to 1935. No one tells these guys to "Get a Life". They don't get ridiculed like Trekkers, Sci-fi & D&D geeks.

          • I do. I used to live near a guy who polished his car nightly and took photos of himself with his car. I told HIM to get councilling

            I knew a guy at Uni who thought training shoes were the next thing to religious salvation. He needed it too.

      From this interview [somethingawful.com]:
      • Lucas realized that fans simply couldn't get enough of the Jedi, so the Super Special Edition is guaranteed to have at least one Jedi in every frame of the film. "We want to just totally Jedi the fuck out of the audience." he says. "There will be Ewok Jedi, bantha Jedi, shark Jedi, and even a Jedi knight who that's made up of other, smaller Jedi."
      • The obvious love triangle between C-3PO, R2D2, and Jawa #2 will be more thoroughly explored.
      • The famous cantina has been changed into a barber shop which is run by several quirky and humorous black men. "I realize that Star Wars hasn't appealed to negroids in the past," Lucas explains, "and I blame myself. I mean there was Lando, and that's it. While Billy Dee Williams was probably the smoothest man alive, it simply wasn't enough. Before settling on the barber shop, I had considered cranking the brightness of the film down dramatically to make everyone darker, but the guys in the editing room don't let me touch the controls anymore."

        At this point, he once again waved off my concerns about the scene in question ripping off of another film, and he threatened to have my "memory banks erased" if I brought up the subject one more time.
      • Han Solo never shoots. Ever. In the original release of the first Star Wars film, Han distracted a bounty hunter that was after him and then shot the bounty hunter dead before he could even make a move. In the Special Edition, however, the bounty hunter shot at Han first, making it look like Solo killed the bounty hunter purely in self defense. This seemingly small change belittled one of the core qualities that made Han cool in the first place in many fans' minds, but Lucas feels otherwise. "I think the greatest quality of Han's character is actually his striped pants. Every time he shoots or talks, it takes the moviegoer's focus away from the pants. Removing every single blaster shot that Han fired is such an obvious decision that I'm embarassed I didn't think of it sooner."
      • Stormtroopers no longer close their eyes when firing their blasters. The trilogy is now a single thirty-seven minute film.

The act of destroying the Death Star via the port in the trench was a figurative "abortion" of his father's evil plans. I swear I'm not making this up.

    For you fanboys whose lives are destroyed a little bit more by everything Lucas does, let's just get it over with so we don't have to read an incessant number of whiny-ass posts, okay?

    Blah blah blah blah blah ruined my childhood blah blah blah blah not as good as Empire blah blah blah blah blah Jar Jar sucks blah blah blah Han shoots first dammit blah blah blah Lucas should be castrated blah blah blah blah I can't masturbate anymore blah blah blah blah Natalie was the only good part blah blah midichlorians?!?! blah blah *sniff sniff* poor me blah blah ...

    There, all done. Now let the rest of us whose lives and souls don't depend on the purity of Star Wars discuss and enjoy.

    He mentions that besides the "Greedo Shoots first" fiasco, he is also planning on changing the "Indy Shoots the Swordsman" scene in Raiders in a similar fashion.

    The guy must be stopped, he is killing film history!

  • Vader is shaking his fist and trying to convince Luke that he should join him and rule the galaxy...and Lucas says "I don't really remember what he's saying here, it's not really important."
  • There are no rules to a gunfight!!! Hero's usually end up dead. Han / Indy didn't stay alive cause he fought fair. He stayed alive cause he fought smart. If a guy wants to kill you with his giant sword and is obviously better trained with it than you, only a fool would drop the gun, pick up a sword and engage in sword play.
