IMO that's fucked to the actor Sebastian Shaw who originally appeared in that footage.

I think it's fake too. Yeah, I know Lucas doesn't really seem to have a brain anymore, but why the hell would Anakin look so young while Obi-Wan looks so old? If Lucus really did this, then that means he must have reshot the scene where Luke takes Vader's helmet off. I guess I can't put anything past Lucas though.

I just came across this great article on MSNBC. Thought it was fitting:

The biggest problem this prequel has is the assocition to the original Star Wars series- the original was wonderful, great, and marvelous, where compared to it, the prequel just gets an "eh". If this prequel wasn't based on such a great film accomplishment, it wouldn't be that bad.
What he needs to do to save this is either make it a comedy so that we are all laughing WITH him instead of at him, or have only about 15 minutes of new film and go directly into A New Hope. But by comedy, I don't mean the return of Jar Jar Binks. I mean Spaceballs-ish. Really, though, there isn't much he can do to save himself. He needed to stick with low-key actors, like in 4-6, and maybe even dumb down the special effects. The reason 4-6 were so appealing were because they looked realistic- like it could actually be going on. He took out the realism. For many counts, I feel the article was right on.

Why do you think that Episode 4 is called "A New Hope"?
I feel sorry for the kids of today. Atleast I grew up in a world where Star Wars was cool. I'm hoping that Ep III will star Howard the Duck. That could have some promise.

I feel bad about it, but I just don't care anymore. Lucas has screwed up this once mighty franchise to the point that I'll be doing what I once thought unthinkable... I have no interest in purchasing the DVD's later this year. He can turn Jabba into E.T. for all I care.

Well, I still don't believe that picture is real, but here's a small bit from TheDigitalBits.com rumor mill talking about it:

Anyway the idea of Darth Vader as a scrawny punk kid is retarded. Darth Vader is a huge menacing crazy wizard. Seriously disturbed. How can Anakin turn to Vader? They better make it good or I , yes me a huge starwars fan will deny Lucas my $10 and send him a check for my time instead.

Maybe they should change Vaders Color from black to pink. Since they obviously want to ruin the classic movies so that the new ones don't look as bad in comparison.

Well, it looks like they did indeed change this scene for the DVD. Here are the shots:

I love the shit out of Star Wars and don't mind any of the changes at all, this one however it a little strange, I would've prefered that Anakin became who he was in spirit at the time of his redemption. It is a nice idea Lucas has but I've always been fond of Shaw and Anakin.
Still can't wait for the DVD's!!! |

Why did he change that scene? I can't imagine what other oddball things have been tweaked in the movies. I liked it before, it made perfect sense for the ghost to be of the form a Jedi died in... but whatever floats Lucas's boat I guess...
At least I still have the original trilogy on VHS... |

Is it too late to get a Power of Attorney? I think George needs someone to look after him.
Hayden Christensen still looks like smug little punk in those images. Apparently it pays to go to the Dark Side. Not only do you get to do a bunch of evil stuff, which is far more fun than the restrictions that a Jedi has to deal with, but as long as you're redeemed before you die, you get to go back to your young body for the rest of eternity. A win win situation. Whoo whoo! Go Dark Side.
