Yeah, ROtJ is my favourite. Must be the damn Ewoks or something because in the movie we have:

Jabba's Palace.
Rancor Battle.
The Great Pit of Carcoon.
Yoda's revelation.
The Rebel Endor Commando Mission.
The Battle of Endor and the interior run of the 2nd Deathstar.
Luke and Vader's final dual.
Lando.

Sadly, I only own theorginal New Hope on VHS. The rest I do want to buy because I love these films. It doesn't matter if their digitaly redone, they still look O.K to me.

I also want Battle Front.

[Reply #362 on:]

I like all the Classic movies. They are definatly the reason my old VCR broke since I watched these movies so many times.

The New ones are good but I hate all the one liners they have. When does the new movie come out anyway?

 I dont claim to know anything about the extended universe books (I assume that's were this info is from), but since the films are the offical version of Star Wars then I think that Greedo is from Tatooine. On the Episode I DVD there's a scene where Anakin has a fight with a young Rodian who turns out to be Greedo. Greedo thinks Anakin cheated in the podrace. After the fight somebody warns Greedo "One of these days you'll get in big trouble"    Quite a nice little touch really.

According to various TPM paraphenalia lying around (inc. the novelisation and guides), that little Rodian is named Wald, not Greedo. Greedo's a completely different guy.

[Reply #364 on:]

Yeah, it's bad enough having Li'l Anakin build C3PO and Obi-wan meeting R2D2 years before he uttered the line, "I've never seen these droids before."  Don't try to put Greedo in the prequels too.

[Reply #365 on:]

They do call him Greedo in the deleted scenes, but I think it was deleted for a reason. Surely Lucas realized the movie had enough stupid little coincidences/character cameos already, and decided to leave it out.

No seriously, Greedo is in one deleted scene for Episode 1. I know that the other Rodian isn't Greedo (although I didn't know he was called Wald). The reason the fight scene was deleted was because Lucas didn't want to show ANY dark side to Anakin just yet.

[Reply #367 on:]

M, shut up. Greedo is not in Episode 1. For one thing, he's not even a glint in his fathers eye. He was born during the events of Episode III when the Empire was around.

[Reply #368 on:]

The special editions already turned Greedo into the worst shot in the universe.  At least allow him the dignity of not appearing in episode one.

[Reply #369 on:]

Unless Geroge's retarded son hates Greedo.

[Reply #370 on:]

I'm just stating a fact guys. You can't just cover your ears and go "La la la la i'm not listening"
It's questionable if a deleted scene counts as an offical edition to the movie saga. But it's a FACT the GREEDO appears in a deleted scene from epsiode 1 that can be viewed by anybody who owns the DVD.
And since the films apparently make things in the books obsolete then surely what you think you know about Greedo goes out the window too? I mean, just after the original Star Wars came out there was a novel in which Luke and Leia get together! Once the other films came out it was never heard of again.

He's a drink now, accept and move on.

[Reply #372 on:]

As long as we're talking about continity in the novels, did anyone ever read "Splinter of The Minds Eye"? Talk about issues.

[Reply #373 on:]

BUMP!
What's your favourite Star Wars character of all time?
I'd have to say my favourite would be Zuckuss.

[Reply #374 on:]

Hmmm. Vader.

Then General Veers, the only Imp under Vader's command that wasn't killed.

I kinda like R2 as well. Heck, there's loads of characters to choose from.

'Cept Jar Jar, everyone hates him.

[Reply #375 on:]

Vader, Fett, the usual.

Also kinda fond of Kyle Katarn, Corran Horn, and that awesome robot which looks like a box on legs... I think it's called a Gonk.

[Reply #376 on:]

I have never met a guy who has hated Boba Fett.

Ever read Shadows of the Empire? he is so badass in it.

[Reply #377 on:]

I heard some idiots on the bus saying the original films on DVD were terrible.
I swear I've never judged someone to be a complete cabbage so strongly before that moment.

Mace Windu is my fav because he's played by Sam Jackson.

[Reply #378 on:]

I like Episode II better than Episode I, I would have liked Episode one if it was not for that bloody Gungan and the screwing up C-3P0's Extended Universe with a lazy ass plot device.

[Reply #379 on:]

I think Han Solo is probably my favorite character, both in the movies and EU. I love the Han Solo trilogy by Brian Daley. Vader and Fett are badass as well.

@Faze: They were obviously idiots. I was pissed with some of the chages too, but they in no way ruined the films.

[Reply #380 on:]

C'mon, show me a fan who liked Jar Jar and I'll hand over my badge.

[Reply #381 on:]

I had a friend who was a big sci-fi and fantasy fan who loved Jar-Jar. His whole family did, in fact. It's odd, because he normally had such good taste.

Edit: the past tense in referring to him is because he moved, not because he is no longer a friend due to... differences of opinion.

[Reply #382 on:]

I don't really mind any of the changes given to Star Wars, with the exception of Greedo. The space battles, always my favourite part of Star Wars, looked even better.
On a side note, has anybody read the Graphic Novel 'Star Wars Underworld: The Yavin Vassilika'?

[Reply #383 on:]

I've... not read it.
(Though I've heard of it. That's the one with all those bounty hunters + Han and Lando going after some prize or another, right?)

[Reply #384 on:]

Yeah, that's the one. I love it.
Also, anybody care to name this guy:

 

[Reply #385 on:]

Wedge Antilles, Leader of Rogue Squadron after ROTJ.

One of the only men who lived through both Death Star attacks and see the Battle of Hoth.

[Reply #386 on:]

No... I think that's Tiree... one of the guys in the death star trench. Gold Leader, I believe. He freaked out, then exploded. Huzzah!

[Reply #387 on:]

Ah, damn. It is Gold Leader. I knew there was something odd about the nose. And the big gold circles on his helmet.

Though I liked Porkins and Darklighter better. If those two survived, there zany KFC eating gay porn star moustache wearing antics would have made them get places higher up in the Rebellion.

[Reply #388 on:]

Porkins was a fat dork.

Now Red Leader, there was a man.

[Reply #389 on:]

Which one? there were three.

You're both wrong. His name was Theron Nett, and his callsign was Red 10. He was Red Leaders wingman and was exploded by Darth Vader. Gold Leader's name was Hutch. The newbie pilot was called Tiree.
Score one for obscure Star Wars knowledge.
 

Which one? there were three.

He means the New Hope Red Leader.

Jump To Lightspeed is available for those lucky Americans and by the sound of it, It might just save SWG from dropping off the A Class MMORPG list.

You have 22 flyable ships to choose from, a large amount of fighters, 4 Multiplayer Ships and two 2 player Ships to choose from. Mmmm, choice.

Now, if only they can sort out the mass population of Jedi and upgrade the combat system.

My suggestion is get the NPC Vader OUT of the Emperors retreat and into a small Jedi purge.

Also, Quit giving the role of Jedi to the l33t powergamer grinder and give it to decent people who know how to ACT like a proper Jedi and RP. Nothing pisses a SW Fan off more than seeing a man in boxers with a Light Sabre acting like a retarded jerk.

Thank god Bounty Hunters ream these assholes with there E11's and Teras Kasii skills seconds later.

[Reply #392 on:]

Heh, I love Bounty Hunters. If I finally manage to get SWG, that's what I'm going to try to be. I've got this nice RP storyline worked out, too. 
Can you make hybrid character classes, ie Teri Kasii Artist/Carbineer?

[Reply #393 on:]

The class system is cool, you start with some basic classes (Medic, Entertainer, Marksman, Scout, Brawler and Artisan) and when you master it you get the choice of choosing the 2 or 3 Hybred classes attached to your chosen first class (EG: Marksman=Carabineer+Rifleman+Pistoleer=Bounty Hunter+Smuggler+Sniper). And all those skills are under one basic skill.

At the moment, I'm a Medic Carabineer who's going to learn Brawling and Teras Kasii so I can then train to be a Commando.

In short, hell yes. Just depends on the time and money you have. You can also learn the skills from players for free, in return you get apprentice points that allow you to be trained in the last slot in your class and become master, complete with  shiny badge attached to profile.

I saw the Episode III trailer. It's wasn't bad, but it was just the standard "quick clips of lots of random stuff," though at the beginning is a longer sequence about the creation of Darth Vader, with Alec Guinness's dialogue from the original Star Wars and clips from the other movies.

Pictures:

[Reply #395 on:]

I think i just shat myself when I saw that Episode III trailer for the first time. It gave me shivers and goosebumps...

This my friends, could bring respect back to StarWars.

[Reply #396 on:]

Holy crap. I didn't want to spoil the trailer by seeing screencaps beforehand...but that looks amazing. I can't wait to see it.

[Reply #397 on:]

You know any movie with that many fucking wookies is gonna kick some major ass.

I hope it does, because the last 2 movies didn't do the series any justice at all. Even I, lost some respect for the series when the last 2 movies came out. Don't get me wrong, Star Wars is still up there, when it comes to my favorite movies, but the last 2 movies hurt it for me.

Enough rambling for me, good screens though.

[Reply #399 on:]

Could SW III end the SW franchise on an awesome note?  I know I've been critical of the CGI before, but those shots look freakin' sweet!
