Totally what you'd expect the first words of DARTH VADER to be. "no!!!!!!!" Cheesy, horrible, crappy...pick a perjorative. "Anakin, you're breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can not follow" Can I puke now? Oh, and if Mace wasn't such a slow idiot, bantering with Anakin for 10 minutes over whether it was "the Jedi way" to kill Palpatine, he could have just killed him and the galaxy would have been safe. End of story. "UNLIMITED...POWER!!!! Muhahahahaha." Yup, Lucas even killed the Emperors coolness too. Nice work, George. The premise of the movie was great, the excecution was just HORRIBLE... Sorry, I'm a fan of "good movies", but this wasn't one of them.

Originally Posted By WorldDisney So, uh, is anyone going to answer the question I posed several pages ago? Like when is the ST changes suppose to happen. I realize the lenghty Star Wars debate is taking up everyone's time lol, but I'm just curious, if A-N-Y-O-N-E can tell when these changes are suppose to be coming? Thanks again! (You may return to why how the prequels raped your childhood )

Originally Posted By Mr X I doubt that would happen, Russ. It'd be cool (for us fans, anyway!), but I just can't imagine them bothering to do that.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss I doubt it too, but one of the original ideas was to be able to quickly change the film and have a new experience, or offer multiple experiences with the same simulator. Keeping one old simulator and preserving the soon-to-be classic ST would somewhat fulfill that... and essentially allow Disney to up the attraction count by one "for free."
Originally Posted By RandySavage >>tell when these changes are suppose to be coming?<< 1. Star Tours II is still only a rumor. The Anthony Daniels quote is very encouraging, because if true, it would mean they've already progressed far enough to have re-written the attraction and begun production. However, the Anthony Daniels quote could be made up by whomever reported it. Has there been confirmation? 2. If it is more than just a fan rumor and design and production is secretly already underway, the specs listed at the beginning of this thread involve major engineering, construction, installation, etc. (Omnimax domes, new AAs etc.). 3. I wouldn't expect this to open before late 2009 or 2010.

Watch the original trilogy and you can tell SW is in the 70's, Jedi an 80's film but Empire just has a timeless feel to it. Special Effects aside, when you see the rest of the movie it doesn't feel like it was made at any specific time period.

"I just couldn't go on speaking those bloody awful, banal lines. I'd had enough of the mumbo jumbo," Don't forget "Noooo it can't be! Your not my father!!" On topic, The new Star Tours is going to ROCK!
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA <Mr.X Hammy dialogue has been a staple of teh series since the beginning> Good examples of cheesy dialogue from the first movies. My feeling is that Lucas had 22 years from the first 'Star Wars' movie in 1977 to 'The Phamtom Menace.' He improved on the special effects in that time -- why not his directorial skills? Or better yet, why not let another director direct? You know why? Because he thinks he's a good director.

Talk about angsty teen, and annoying bratty kid. I agree about Lucas directing...it's not been a good thing. He needs to let others do that. Empire Strikes Back was the best of the films because he didn't direct. The dialogue he uses is sometimes cringe inducing...especially in the "prequel" films!
