There are a lot of complaints about George Lucas's latest round of revisions to the Star Wars saga—this time for the Blu-Ray release. (See the videos in this ComingSoon.net article.) The changes do seem pretty silly—especially the clumsy "No! NOOOOO!" addition to Darth Vader's dialogue as the Emperor electrocutes Luke—but I guess I'm no longer surprised by Lucas's terrible choices.
Honestly, Lucas was never a master of subtlety, even when writing the original movies (you know, the first time). As the clip below illustrates, all the best Star Wars lines were written by John Williams [IMDb | Wikipedia].
That is a great comic! I found something on one of the other blogs I read that fits this theme and was pretty funny:

I think that Star Wars may have run its course for me driven by the fact that I don't have boys. I have no one to share it with.
Nice, I like that article. Once my boys are old enough for me to introduce them to Luke and Han, you'll have to come play Star Wars with us.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there!
ReplyDeleteI'll come running with my lightsabre, well, I'll keep it closed down while I run. I think that there must be at least one hidden Jedi apprentice death from running with a lightsabre. I can see the meeting now in the Jedi Council:
"MMMmmm, hasty he was," Yoda mutters, "unfortunate this is."
