I was going to post the news article about how the 3D/BluRay releases of the OT are going to include: -Pieces of Anakin's podracer digitally added to the junk in the sandcrawler -Jango Fett's voice for all stormtroopers -Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson as Force ghosts at the end -Voices of Natalie Portman and Liam Neeson pleading with Vader to save Luke as he is being zapped -Luke's eyes turning Sith yellow-red after he cuts Vader's hand off but now Wookieepedia has gotten us in the April Fool's mindset in this thread.

It's not even true anaglyph. At least I had the decency to make fun of Star Wars in actual working 3D.  I'd make a parody 3D trailer for the other two prequels but I don't even want to skim through episode 2 much less find scenes that would "benefit" from my 3D vision.

Those are actually pretty good ideas..." Edit: In addition of the Jango Fett for the stormtroopers thing, the two stormtroopers chatting while Obi-wan turns off the tractor beam will have all their dialog changed to them talking about how loving awesome it is to be a MANDO.

Been reading that Secret History of Star Wars and my god its some interesting stuff. The difference from Lucas's first draft to the movie are crazy. Also it makes a lot more sense why the new movies are terrible.

"Obi-Wan's ghost was restored to his appearance as he was before Anakin fell. Also Ahsoka and Starkiller will be in the background of Jabba's palace."

"The Sarlaac is actually an active member of the rebellion, and was part of Luke's plan all along. It only attacked Lando because it had not forgiven him for betraying Han, and it's anger got the better of it. Seeing Han willing to fight to save Lando convinced it to let go *Lucas edits RotJ so Han misses the tenacle*. Later, it becomes a Senator in the Galactic Senate."

Starkiller and the hundreds of other secret Jedi will show up as force ghosts at the end of ROTJ. The Blu-Ray will include a unskippable advertisement for a Star Wars tv series starring Shia Labeouf as an even more angst ridden Jedi twice as powerful as Starkiller.

I was just busy poo poo-posting on the Old Republic forums, when I thought how awesome it would have been if Mace Windu had been played by Christopher Lee and Count Dokuu by Samuel Jackson. Lee has the right air about him to play a solemn jedi master and his unusual fighting style would have added something unique to the otherwise uninteresting council of jedi masters. And Sam Jackson is usually at his best when he can play some guy who is angry and shouts a lot. Rewrite Dookus character a bit to show some more typical "dark side" behaviour and the crappy prequels might have been a little less terrible.

I thought it was a funny joke until I went to the actual Sarlacc Enforcer entry on the Old Republic website and saw the ridiculous video of it shooting a Death Star superlaser out of its mouth. At that point I completely cracked up. Casimir Radon posted:Slightly, the "You're an old man" and the "You're a retarded teenager" jokes haven't cease or gotten any better though. It's stuff like this that's why I never really found Allston to be the side-splitting master of comedy that he has the reputation for.
