Better. I don't particularly like that song, though it's obnoxiously catchy.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

There was nothing wrong with the lightsabres in the old movies.

Well, they'll make their money on these, and then in a few years they'll release the 'Non-Shitty Edition'.

Which is just another indictment of humanity. I call bullshit on the whole "best we've got" idea. There needs to be a culling.

George Lucas is history's greatest monster, not Jimmy Carter.

I think they mean they fix the look of the sabers from the DVD version (e.g. Luke's blade has a green tint on the Millenium Falcon in Ep. 4).

I'd say we just need to wait for Lucas to die for decent editions of SW, but he'll probably set up some super-byzantine trademark-control will.

of course they won't. george lucas would never have it. no, he makes these changes as either one helluva troll in response to the attack on his perfect prequels, or because he has an obsessive need to "fix" his films in the way mj had to fix his face

They did it with the DVDs.  It's all about the cash.

what year was that, though? i mean, maybe after lucas is dead.. but he seems a little senile at this point. removing moles on leia's face, whitening her teeth? adding scuff marks to the shoulders of stormtroopers? nuuuuuuuu??

The only thing gayer than Lucas is people who give a fuck about his oeuvre.
