As long as we're talking personal wishes here, I want a game where I can fly a TIE Defender and play tricks with the tractor beam with like in the Isard's Revenge book.

Are there full on official language guides for Star Wars races like in Avatar and Star Trek? How detailed are they? Could I learn to speak jabanese or salatiun crumbish or maybe ewokie talkie? In theory. I'm sure there's fan stuff, but have they done anything that is official?

I don't mind stuff like that, or cleaning up explosions or matting or brightening engines and lightsabers - it's the stuff that changes the actual story - like Han and Greedo shooting simultaneously or NOOOOOO! The Ewok's blinking is the kind of change that I don't mind, and even... like...

You could argue that they messed with characterization in a minor way but it's not like Greedo shooting first leads to Han having a epiphany from his brush with death and therefore turns down Kenobi's gig and goes to do blow off a Twi'lek stripper's tits. That would be changing the story. Still, don't be obtuse, you understand my meaning. General effects updates are less aggravating than an entire song & dance sequence being dumped into the third film.

And oh god why do I know this, Sebulba speaks Huttese and uses it as a retarded swear word in TPM and ever since it has been used as a swear word. I don't understand why a silly thing like this sticks in my throat either.

The worst part is it then suddenly starts showing up in EU novels, and suddenly Luke Skywalker who hasn't used that word in ~60 years of living starts saying "poodoo" every 50 pages.

That would be changing the story. It's not that it changes the story so much as that it ruins two very iconic and characterizing moments for Vader and Han. As was said earlier, the NOOOO! ruins the silent turmoil that Vader was feeling using nothing more than Prowse's body language and some cosmetic damage to the armor. We see the usually unstoppable Vader defeated, cast aside, and struggling between his love for his estranged son and his loyalty to the Emperor and his acceptance of the hosed up life he made for himself. Adding a big hammy no to the scene detracts from why that scene worked so well. The first time I saw the Greedo scene it did a great job of showing that Han had pissed off some very bad people and they were sending killers after him. We get to see that if there is a hero in this story the pilot is not it. He's going to get his job done and isn't above dealing dirty to come out on top. Greedo is a legitimate threat and Han shoots him the moment he realizes that there's no way to talk his way out of the confrontation. What Greedo shooting and missing ruins is that Greedo is no longer a real threat. He misses at point blank range and once the first shot is fired all tension is gone from the scene. Sure Han is now 100% justified in killing him but it just kills the moment to have one of these hardcore criminals shoot at someone sitting 3 feet away and miss.

When will Lucas make Special Editions of Caravan of Courage and the Battle for Endor? Now THOSE would be movies that could benefit from altering... the live action actors. WOOWEE were they terrible. Except for that evil witch in the Battle for Endor. She was kind of cool (and she was also in Dune, so hey).

Adding a big hammy no to the scene detracts from why that scene worked so well. I know they keep reducing the frames to make it seem like they both fired at the same time but I do like the idea of Han having a dirty past and that he's not above killing someone before he gets killed. What gets me is that Greedo is aiming directly at Han, elbow on the table, aim steadied. It seems like it is nearly impossible to miss. To digitally alter Han to "shrug" out of the way gives him this uncanny reflex to know when Greedo is about to shoot. If Lucas wanted it to change in a way to make Greedo shoot first, they should have had Han flip the table over and dive away while Greedo is shooting at him and Han shoots back. But since you can't do that without making it look like a big gently caress YOU, Lucas used what he had. The problem is that it is an iconic and memorable scene that is ingrained in people's minds that Han is a good guy but with a dirty past. The other problem is that you have the originals with Han shooting first, then special editions with Greedo shooting first. If Lucas were to change it back again, he'd show that he bends to the will of millions of nerds like us. He knows how much of a dick move it is and left it in there because he's old, he has a shitload upon shitload of buckets of cash and knows we'll buy whatever he throws at us.

I just have a random question. Is there a consensus on what Star Wars video game had the best implementation of the speeder bike scene on Endor? I know there have been several over the years, but from memory all I recall is the on-rails one from Rebel Assault (II?) and me swapping the car model in Need for Speed 3 to some custom speeder bike someone made. Edit: oh Super Star Wars ROTJ for super nintendo, but I don't recall how good it was. And stealing a speeder bike in SW: Battlefront was okay, but the level wasn't that huge.

Wasn't there an Endor speeder bike chase in Rebel Strike? I seem to remember it being on-rails, but pretty decent, outside the endless engine zoom sound which sounded more like my stomach before my colon treats the toilet like the Death Star did Alderaan.
