Also, I like boobs and believe they should be supported, in general.

I too like boobs though I prefer them "unsupported".

I'm pretty disappointed in the Hayden C. scene at the end of ROJ. Luke had never seen young Anakin's face before, and he shows no interest in seeing his father as a young man for the first time.

Please elaborate. I stopped paying attention to SW ages ago, after Lucas started to 'retouch' his orignals. Did Hayden C. get superimposed over the 'old' Anakin in the final scene of Return of the Jedi ? I thought I heard folks joking about that, but never really thought much of it,whether it was actually true. If so, I'm REAL disappointed.

Nice rack on the slave dancer though.

Yes Hayden is now standing next to Obi-Wan and Yoda as a force ghost at the end of ROTJ. Lucas expanation for this is that Anakin's self image was frozen at the time he turned to the dark side. Hence he would appear as his younger self even after death. Don't totally agree with this since Anakin came back to the light before he died.

At first I almost fell for this explanation by Lucas, as it seemed to make some sense. But the fact that Luke saved Anakin,right before his death seems to trump that point. Obi Wan was an old Jedi when he died, and so was Anakin.

New emperor? It was Ian McDiarmid that has played the role since the beginning. As for the Hayden C. part at the end, that really shocked me when I first saw it. My husband who is a HUGE fan says that the reason that Lucas might have changed it is that because it shows Anakin before he turned to the dark side. Some people though were very unhappy with that.

Actually Ian was not the emperor back in the original release but no one will ever see that again. The guy who played him back 1980(ESB) was named Clive Revell(sp?). Ian came on board beginning with ROTJ in 1983.

What I find funny, as I look back at the "original" Star Wars (now called "A New Hope") is that the outfit that Luke is wearing as a Moisture Farmer on an Ass-End-of-the-Galaxy planet is the same outfit that the Jedi Knights of old wore. Only thing glaringly missing is the "shoulder armor" which was nothing more than a few straps of cloth (in Annikin's case Pleather) that came from the back, over the shoulders and tucked under the belt.

Also, in the case of saber colors )not to sound too nerdy, I just like the games) Green = Counsular (probably spelled it wrong) and Blue = Guradian. I cannot remember what Yellow meant, but Purple was purely Master Windu's color so that you could distinguish his character at all times in the movie, and well, Red is self explanitory.

The lightsabers colours are the cause of some debate.

They come from the crystal inside the lightsaber, but Lucas always used blue and green for light and red for dark side. Some people have said that the colours represent different jeid classes in the expanded universe and in games (though sometimes the names of these clases are different)

Someone once suggested that the different colours represented Luke's coming of age from a an apprentice to a jedi, from a boy to man and that the lightsaber was a purely phalic symbol (this was based on the fact that the green lightsaber is also slightly longer). I dont think there is any truth to this though but its kinda funny.

With Mace's purple lightsaber, it wasnt intended to be a different colour, but basically Samuel L Jackson really wanted a purple one. And I mean, as if anyones going to argue with him, he might start quoting Ezekiel 25:17 and blow you away.

In expanded universe books and games (like KOTOR) different crystals in your lightsaber can make different colours.

Sorry I love talking SW

I have to say though, I really hate the change to the greedo/han scene
