You also don’t have much in the way of grenades, bombs, photon torpedoes, or other forms of area-effect weapons.

At least Lucas didn't direct ROJ himself.

He did fine with the original Star Wars but obviosuly by the times the prequels rolled around he was too full of himself to do a proper job. His writing was very crappy for the prequels but maybe a decent director could have done better with it.

Hell Seth MacFarlane could have done a better job. At least they would have been funny then.

Or maybe Quentin Tarantino.

Michael Madsen as Darth Vader. He cuts off ears with his lightsabre then sets people on fire with ‘the force’. I like it. They’d have to drill a hole in the helmet for his cigarettes though.

David Carradine as the Emperor. BBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! He’d be wandering around with a bong all the time.

Gordon Liu as a Pie Mai-type of sadistic Yoda.

Uma Thurman as Leia.

Ving Rhames as Lando Calrissian.

Etc.

A Tarantino-directed Star Wars would be a blast!

The Rodney Dangerfield line was awesome! I nearly pissed myself when Lois says to Peter “I love you” and Peter replies bleeped “F*ck off” (that’s what I think he said).

Ken Buck’s slogan can be: “My name is Buck and I came here to _ _ _ _!”

Linsday was already supposed to to be wearing an alcohol monitoring bracelet, what happened to that one?

That’s one HUGE piece of chocolate I wouldn’t go near. I’d request a mop and bucket.

The Florida VP could be a greeter at Piggly Wiggly, but she’s better than Sexual Chocolate or Kagan for sure.

Mexico: A narco-state invading our country. World Wars have been started for less.

If Han shot first why did Lucas adultetate the original *twice* to show Greedo shooting first or to show them shooting simultaneously? Lucas became a caricature of himself.

Spielberg did the same crap as Lucas.

in the re-release of ET, he digitally removed the shotguns from the FBI agents hands and digitally replaced them with walkie talkies...

Sexual Chocolate did the BEST version of “The Greatest Love Of All.”

Oh God yes!

“Coming To America” is one of the funniest films ever. Even Asholio Hall was tolerable.

One of the dumbest adulterations he did was replacing the ghost of the actor who played Anakin Skywalker in ROTJ with archive footage of Hayden Christensen.

Luke Skywalker: Who the **** is that guy with Yoda and Ben?

To be fair, it’s heavily implied that the Stormtroopers were missing the heroes on purpose specifically to lure them into a trap in Episodes IV and V (specifically, to trick the Rebels into guiding them to their hidden base at Yavin IV, and get them towards the Executor).

Besides, I’m pretty sure the Empire wouldn’t have lasted NEARLY as long as it did if they were extremely bad shots (Obi-Wan and even Leia implied that they were crack shots).

Yeah, no kidding. Unfortunately, it’s even worse than just the Ewoks being standins for the Vietcong. If the Making of Star Wars is to be believed (and especially his 1973 story treatment), the Rebel Alliance itself is pretty much a Vietcong expy as well. That’s why I’m an Empire supporter now. No one tricks me into rooting for Communists and gets away with it.

Wasn’t expecting that to draw a reply after 8+ years. :)

I was wondering about the timing of this thread.
