The Dark Side

[qos]

It's been at least a couple of months since I ranted about Star Wars, hasn't it?

Hasn't it?

As you all know, I was already unhappy about George Lucas releasing his brand-new "enhanced" versions of the original trilogy instead of the theatrical versions. It's bad enough that now Greedo shoots first. But the situation is even worse than I had feared.

George has added gungans to The Return of the Jedi.
Gungans.
As if the ewoks weren't bad enough.

My dad sent me this op-ed piece after I told him to make sure not to buy me the trilogy as a gift.

And today's Dork Tower strip is worth a clik. I particularly like the small print in the last frame. You may have to be a serious Star Wars geek to get the reference, but maybe not.

Help me, Peter Jackson! You're my only hope!

I actually liked the gungans... I though Jar Jar was cute too....

That's ok. I like you anyway. ;-)

My father liked The Phantom Menace better than The Fellowship of the Ring. I can't understand it, but what the heck.
