Stop with the “improvements”.<\/p>\n
Do you know WHY those movies were so successful?? Do you even care? The ORIGINAL versions, the ones we all saw in the movie theatres, are FINE. They ARE the successful films.<\/p>\n
We love them. <\/p>\n
And please: Han shoots first. With no warning. That is what you filmed<\/i>. That sets up the character. Sorry. LIVE WITH IT.<\/p>\n
Bill weighs in.<\/a><\/p>\n So does Michele.<\/a> Make sure you read the comments – she has a “poem contest” going – where people get to rail at George Lucas, but only in verse.<\/p>\n My favorite, so far, is this one – sent in by one of her commenters:<\/p>\n There once was a bastard named Lucas Here’s another gem in the comments, but all of them are funny:<\/p>\n Gather round my children, and I’ll spin a tale, Star Wars gave us Chewie, and Han and Artoo It was a grand great adventure, that first trilogy, Then Lucas got greedy, as is often the case, The new “extra” scenes, they all competed for worst, You’d think it impossible, to outdumb the Ewoks, One film remains, and I kind of hope that it tanks, Dan responds to the “sanitization” of Han Solo<\/a>.<\/p>\n I don’t want my Han Solo sanitized. I don’t want his actions to reflect clearly good intentions. Why Han Solo was so amazing, why we all loved him so much – was that he was the most human of the bunch. He was tough, he wasn’t all lit up with ideology – he was a hired hand. He didn’t give a crap.<\/p>\n Uhm – George – have you noticed how enormous a star Harrison Ford has been for the last 28 years?? Uh – that’s because of the original UN-IMPROVED version of Han Solo. Okay?<\/p>\n George Lucas is an idiot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stop with the “improvements”. Do you know WHY those movies were so successful?? Do you even care?

\nWhose head was rammed firm up his tuckus.
\nBut what’s really worse –
\nThat Greedo shoots first,
\nOr that George doesn’t CARE if it suckus?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nOf Star Wars, and Lucas and the prequels that fail.<\/p>\n
\nAnd a gay robot, Threepio, which was something quite new.<\/p>\n
\nAnd it made Lucas money, a large chunk from me.<\/p>\n
\nHe remade the damn movies, and did so with straight face.<\/p>\n
\nThen there was Greedo, shooting at Han fucking first.<\/p>\n
\nBut then Lucas made Jar Jar, and I hurt when he talks.<\/p>\n
\nBut that won’t stop Lucus, from doing fucking remakes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
