No......Noooooooooooooo!

I heard recently that Lucas pulled the original unaltered prints of starwars, Empire, and Jedi from the Library of Congress, and tried to replace them with the Special editions, and the Library of Congress refused to take them.

No what??

The Lucas thing or the Invite by ILM?

If its the Lucas thing well waddya expect, everyone still seems so surprised by his constant crapping around on Star Wars. The thing is, he knows he can still make money from it no matter what, regardless of how many times he tweaks it.

The lucas thing.

I think is sad that lucas refuses to release the Unaltered original trilogy.

Anyway, about the ILM thing. Not much to say about a time laps pumpkin carving of Darth Vader to advertise a ILM halloween party invite. It's cool that somebody did that, but they didn't have to use "starwars/darth vader" as the theme of the invite. Somebody should have carved a portrait of Lucas on the pumpkin instead and........

That's sweet. I like creative stop motion. Cool that they did it backwards. I don't really care about the whole unadulterated star wars thing... the movies are entertaining enough... if George wants to change them all up, whatever. *braces for fan abuse*

But as Jay said, if he puts a hat on said dead horse, people will still go out and buy it, as their current dead horse doesn't have a hat; and come on. Who can't do with another hat? user added image


Imagination is more important than knowledge.
