**** YOU GEORGE LUCAS!!! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!

[MR2-Sooner86]

Okay. According to Badass Digest, this is confirmed... yes, Vader says "No!" as he picks the Emperor up. This is yet another change in the Original Trilogy, and yeah, I'm pissed off about it.

It was already such a perfect moment. As Luke, dying under the Emperor's torrent of force lightning, calls out to his father to help him, Vader stares quietly, looks at his son, then at the Emperor, and makes his decision. And he DOESN"T ****ING SAY A THING. That's what makes it so powerful. You could almost see the thought process behind the mask, as Vader slowly comes out of the fog of 20+ years of evil. It's a grand, amazing moment and the pinnacle of the trilogy, in my opinion.

And George Lucas just ruined it.

Goodnight, STAR WARS. Thanks for the memories.

Update to include another twisting of the knife - Obi-Wan's Krayt Dragon call now sounds like he's getting a hummer in a back alley on Mos Eisley

Oh, Greedo still shoots first.



I'm scared to see what else he has done...

[Turd_Ferguson]

This confirms my thinking that you are Yermoms troll...

[Lawton4Life]

I'll sum it up best with a big fat

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO

[Barry's_Scowl]

Just another example of how incredibly bad George Lucas is as a writer.

Character disagrees with an event. How can I convey to the audience that the character is not on-board with this? OK. I got it.

Darth Vader:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I swear to ****-Christ, there was a line in Episode III that was an even better/worse example of this:

Anakin Skywalker:
From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!

[Frozen Sooner]

I'm going to go with "DO NOT WANT!"

[yermom]

This confirms my thinking that you are Yermoms troll...

i still contend that George Lucas should have been frozen in carbonite sometime in the mid-90s

maybe that should be amended to mid-80s

[NormanPride]

[yermom]

seriously. with the revisions and the prequels, Lucas took a dump on my childhood.

i'll leave you with Patton Oswalt:

[KantoSooner]

The entire Star Wars series is weak. The strongest point about it (the original) was the special effects; which were great for the time, but haven't aged especially well.

Had they left the first movie alone, it could have stood as a moderately interesting 'Space Western'. Creating of it a franchise was like making Mel Gibson's 'The Patriot' into a 10 movie series....and about as compelling. There's no 'there' there.

[3rdgensooner]

Hollywood really makes MR2 angry.

[jk the sooner fan]

this reminds me of how angry i got that one time Jorel said something to Superman that wasnt in the comic books

boy did that tantrum last a few days....

[yermom]

KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

I suppose they could do much worse.

New Hope changes:

1- Prince Leia's name is now "Princess Leia Skywalker," and she is addressed as such (and the dubbing is awful) by all characters, erasing any doubts as to who is brother and sister.

2- Darth Vader has lines that are different versions of Anakin lines to make a stronger and more pathetic connection to the prequel trilogy. Examples:

When asked to release his choke hold, instead of saying "As you wish," he says "Yippee!"

As he spins in his fighter at the end, he says "Let's try spinning, that's a neat trick. Woooooooah!"

3- As Aldeeran is about to explode, Jar Jar looks up into the sky from the doomed planet and says "Mesa hasa BAAAAAD feeling about this-un!"

4- The emperor makes a cameo, since it is the only movie he doesn't appear in. Right before Grand Moff says that the emperor ended the Senate, the emperor is shown ending the Senate... no, not by throwing Senator pods at Yoda. He is simply locking the door and switching the "Yes, we're Open!" sign to "Sorry, we're Closed!"

5- Chewbacca is now a CGI character. His fluffy costume is computer generated down the last strand of hair. And his eyes have really fake expressions added in.

6- C-3PO says at least 30 times "I cannot remember, perhaps my memory has been erased" to remind everyone why he cannot remember anything from the prequel trilogy.

7- Obi Wan's lines are a lot more *wink wink* and groan inducing. Example:

Obi Wan: A young sith lord named Darth Vader, who used to be a jedi by the name of Anakin Skywalker, who was a pupil of mine...

8- Boba Fett walks around without his helmet on. Oh look, it's that guy from the prequel trilogy. Derp.

9- At the beginning of the film, Obi Wan is in deep conversation with the ghost of Qui Gonn. But it isn't Liam Neeson, because he realized after one flick what a bad idea this re-do was. You never see his face, and coincidentally enough, "Qui Gonn" only seems to be repeating lines that you already heard in Episode One. Hmmm...

10- When the Death Star explodes, the explosion now last 15 seconds of drawn out noise and special effects. In 3-D. Ow, I think a piece just hit my 3-D glasses...

[Pricetag]

George Lucas thinks we're all dumb.

[jk the sooner fan]

George Lucas thinks we're all poor.

fify

My daugther recently had dinner with a friend who creates music for soundtracks, etc. He told her that from now on, the big studios are no longer going to make anything but remakes and movies from novels that were popular. They have no clue how to pick a script that will draw people to the theatres so they are only going to go with 'sure things'. I foresee more indie movies in my future.

[Pricetag]

I was under the impression that killing someone implied that you disagree in some fashion with him.

[SicEmBaylor]

Star Wars has always sucked. Right up there with LOTR in my book.
Star Trek>>>>>>>Star Wars

Gene Roddenberry would never have pulled this ****.

[Pricetag]

Proof positive that George is jacking with something GOOD.

[badger]

Empire Strikes Back changes:

1- The title is now "Strike of the Empire" to fit the prequel trilogy titles for the final two offerings.

2- Princess Leia no longer kisses Luke. Chewie instead. Take that, "incest alert!" shouters.

3- Yoda is in his CGI form, flipping circles around the swampie ship with his green light saber instead of lifting it.

Luke: "I can't believe it."

Yoda: "Lulz. Neither can I."

4- Lando is no longer the only minority character in the movie, as interestingly enough, many background characters that were not in the original are suddenly everywhere to represent the diversity of the galaxy... and they're all CGI-inserted. In 3-D.

(true story: there was a lando fan group marching around shouting their support for lando at the convention I attended. it was a true WTF moment)

5- Han Solo no longer says "I know" but instead, speaks first, telling Leia "I love you!" and she says Han's original line, "I love you too!" Internet protests spark up, exclaiming "LEIA SPOKE FIRST!"

6- When the emperor appears, he is wielding an OFFICIAL LUCASFILM LICENSED red lightsaber that can be yours for only $129.99 at starwars.com/officialstorething.

7- Lando is no longer wearing Han's clothes at the end... well, there goes the Family Guy and Robert Chicken jokes. Nyah, nyah.

8- Vader no longer says "I am your father." Because he isn't. All those *wink wink* lines in the first were red herrings. Don't you feel fooled.

Luke: He told me you're my father.

Vader: No, I killed your father.

(music!)

Luke: No, that's not true!

Vader: Search your feelings, you KNOW it to be true!

Luke: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

gag.

9- Han Solo is no longer frozen in Carbonite, but some other weird thing that sticks out more in CGI and 3-D. Oh wow... he looks like an Avatar character after that. Dang.

10- Force chokes now have a weird force-like noise that accompanies them... that will also be available on officially licensed LUCASFILM Darth Vader force choke gloves! Yours for only $49.99!
