The Original Trilogy / Re: Who is okay with the Changes?
« on: September 26, 2004, 04:55 AM »
I subscribe to the theory that Vader is playing dumb with the Emperor.  What makes it confusing is we don't know for sure at this point that Anakin knows he has a son.  I'm spoiler free, but I'll bet that he does, and he knows Luke is his son, and he's slow playing the Emperor.

And I love the new Emperor scene, by the way.

As for the overall changes, I don't mind them.  He fixed the two most galring mistakes of the SE (already mentioned above) and I wish he would release the originals just for the sake of history, but one thing I think many fans are forgetting is, what is the original?

Is is the the first version of SW, without the Episode 4 - A new Hope tag?  Is it the very first early version of ESB, which did not contain a couple shots at the end which made the orientation of the Falcon relative to the fleet confusing? 

These have been changing since day one.  Star Wars is a work by a living writer - like many writers (most) - the work isn't really 'complete' until (gasp) he's dead.  It's like language; it's a living, breathing thing.  It doesn't ever stop changing or growing until it dies.

The SW saga will not even be complete until next summer, so really what we're watching is the theatrical demonstration of a writer revising his first draft.  Just so long as he makes the varied drafts available for posterity, I'm ok.

You know, I wouldn't worry about these.  These are going to ship through Christmas, right?  I have a feeling a lot of us are going to clean up on these at clearance prices after the new year.

I've never seen an OTC Scout Trooper or Stormtrooper.  It boggles the mind that relatively hard to get figs (around here) like the last few Saga waves sit at TRU long enough for me to catch up big time at 2 for $7 yesterday, and certain OTC figs might as well not exist. 

I believe the reason I don't have a clean Scout in the first place is because I never saw the POTJ one either.  Sigh.

I can't imagine they'll be new in any way.  Weird.   ::)

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Episodes 7 thru 9 NOT Happening....
« on: September 15, 2004, 12:18 AM »
I think he did intend for there to be nine parts - WAY back in the beginning he even said something about 12 (!!!) - but he obviously isn't interested anymore.  Listening to him on Charlie Rose, I think he really only did the PT out of a sense of obligation, as well as a means of subsidy for his real dream, the digital back lot.

For $10, I may get the ROTJ one, since I never got the Emperor, and the packaging is kinda cool.

I saw a pile of these at my TRU today.  Soon, they'll be able to build an addition to the store with all these shelf warming monstrosities.

A big pass for me too, and I'm a huge Jawa fan.  They could put SOME effort into it.   ::)

Last night I saw the WM floor display with tons of Luke and Han and nice amounts of Leia and Obi.  Good for Luke and Leia - bad for Han and Obi.  Han is already a major pegwarmer here.  I'm not too worried about the later waves - I've seen the ESB one a few times now - but finding the Stormtrooper was never going to be easy.

The new ML line up is pretty good.   I'm most happy about Nightcrawler, and Deathlok is a good non-mainstream choice.  Hopefully it means we'll see more figs like him and Man Thing down the road.

My cousin is estatic over Mysterio right now.   His favorite.
