Ugh, okay so the lightsaber changes sound like they could be pretty nifty, but the rest really shouldn't be tampered with, if it ain't broke then don't fix it! Then again if they edited out JarJar Binks and replaced him with something cooler then thats fine by me. :)

I agree. Some of it's okay -- like removing the puppeteer arm on the wampa, and even adding in Vader's scream before he tosses Palpatine down the reactor shaft * -- but some of it...I'll have to think about it, to say the least (I'm going to miss puppet Yoda, I really am. :( ).

Then again if they edited out JarJar Binks and replaced him with something cooler then thats fine by me. :)

Or cut Jar-Jar entirely. I don't hate the guy -- I actually get very annoyed when people suggest he ruined STAR WARS; I mean, *come on*. No offense to any non-Jar-Jar fans reading this, BTW -- but I think he could have been cut without harming the story. (Or considering Gunga City, maybe not? Damn, I'm confused) And if they added in ghost Padme and Qui-Gon, that would be cool too. :) It would just...feel right, if you get what I mean.






* I mean, what would you do if your son were being tortured?

I'm gonna miss puppet Yoda too, digital Yoda's okay, but its just not the same. :(
As for JarJar, I'll agree that the idea that he ruined Star Wars is pretty dumb, but he was only added for comedy reasons. I just feel they could replace him with a more useful character. Although I think they should give my friends idea of editing out the JarJar and replacing him with Chuck Norris some consideration. XD

Good points about Jar-Jar. (And replacing him with Chuck Norris sounds like a good idea. :)

Removing puppet Yoda, that's like erasing Frank Oz's genius. As much as we bash on poor Yoda, he really was very well made.

Why exactly would Padme appear as a ghost if she is not Force sensitive?

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

There was an AOTC deleted scene that *hinted* at Padme being Force sensitive, so...

[girlofavalon.livejournal.com]

But officially she is *not*.

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

Okay, maybe. *Sighs* I was entertaining a fun possibility is all.

[girlofavalon.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean to be harsh. *hugs*

I personally think that it would make a lot more sense if they had used an idea from the ROTS concept arts, where Padme is hinted to be *temporarily* Force sensitive while carrying the twins.

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

S'okay. *Hugs back* I'm just having a shitty evening is all.

Interesting idea, BTW. :)

[girlofavalon.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. *hugs more* What's wrong?

I like the Saga the way it is, you know? But yeah, that little idea from the ROTS concept art would be intriguing... I don't know, maybe she *is* hinted to be temporarily Force sensitive in ROTS and it's so subtle that I haven't noticed... ;)

Heck! Is it only me or LJ homepage is loading very incorrectly? :\

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I can't say. *Hugs back* *Sighs* I guess it's just...*sighs* I kind of have this irrational feeling like no one wants to hear what I have to say. Like I'm...boring, or something.

Well, there was the scene where she and Anakin "speak" to one another across Coruscant, but other than that...I can't say.

And yeah, LJ's been slightly wonky, hasn't it? :/

[girlofavalon.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay... I'm sorry, hon *hugs* That's just that, a feeling. It's not true.

Oh, yeah... that scene could be seen as a hint to her temporary Force sensitivity. :) I also think she knew what happened to Anakin after Mustafar, even though we never see Obi-Wan answering her questions. She knew he wasn't dead, if her last words are anything to go by.

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

S'okay. :) Thank you. :)

And very good point! :D
