you cant tell me you didnt cheer when you were a kid when those transports got away

that ion cannon loving owned

The great thing about this is that the Imperials are so full of their own bullshit that they drop in right next to Hoth so they can get owned by that ion cannon, instead of hanging back out of orbit, setting up a perimeter out of range of that gun and picking off the transports before they leave the system.

This is what ends up getting that admiral killed by Darth Vader, because he hosed up big time by jumping the gun and made everyone look real bad.

Admiral Kendal Ozzel actually assisted Lord Vader in the secret plot to balance the force. Knowing that the Empire and The Emperor would scrutinize both Vader and Ozzel for deliberating, conspicuous behaviors, Both Vader and Ozzel agreed Ozzel would play the role of a bumbling, idiotic Admiral. In an valiant moment to restore peace to the galaxy and bring balance to the force as an effort to assist Vader on the path to the prophecy, Nadel Ozzel heroically gave his life up for the greater good on that fateful day when Vader had no choice but to "punish" Ozzel by force choking him to death. Two months after 4 ABY, amid the ruins of the Death Star II on the Forest Moon of Endor, a scavenger discovered a secret hologram recorded by Darth Vader on a time stamp made before he went to get Luke Skywalker off the forest moon. Knowing that the prophecy is coming to a close, Vader made a list of collaborators those of whom they assisted him in restoring the galaxy on the right path; Admiral Nadal Ozzel was one of them. The Rebel Alliances after forming the New Republic, erected a statue in honor and respect of a man who bravely fought the Empire with deceptions, ultimately giving his life up for the greater goods of the trillions of lives that was once held by the grip of the Empire.

As much as I like what Adywan is doing, I find the fact that they make minor and utterly inconsequential changes for no apparent reason (like, in that one, one of the X-Wings getting blown up for some reason) kind of strange. Just take out the horrible CGI-laden special edition stuff and fix up minor things, it's not hard!

There are de-specialized cuts if you go look for them. They are as close to a original theatrical cuts as they come with all the original GFX flaws. Not only does Han shoots first but Greedo doesn't get a shot off before slamming head first into the table in a smoking heap.

All I remember is that someone on the Despecialized edition wanted to "restore" the damage to the film stock that was present on original cuts of the movie, I'll see if I can't dig up the comparison image.

E: Here we are. Notice how a hair was re-added even though there was no actual reason to do so.

Millions of generations ago in a time when the force was first discovered by a small band of force sensitive beings, knowing that the force must always hang in balance at all time, thus they needed dark side users to keep the light side in check and vice versa. These beings created the midichlorian , a microscopic DNA binding organism that can harvests the power of the force , embedding it into the DNA of a living being, thus turning sentient beings into predetermined force sensitive users. The force discoverer beings harvested every living intelligent organisms they could find in all parts of the galaxy, from there they seeded them with specific midichlorian counts that would spread through out future generations of force sensitive species, but only a handful of them would carry the burden of the dark side and only they through birth whether natural or manipulated by the dark side of the force, can pass off the dark side to their offsprings, the dark side cannot be learnt and anyone who learned it was destined to unlock the dark force embedded in their DNA rather than "learning" it. Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Anakin Skywalker and countless Siths are the culmination of millions of years of planning to keep the power of the force in balance at all time. Sheev Palpatine is actually the manifest of an all powerful Dark Side being that once lived millions of generations ago during the age of the origin of the force, knowing that only one user could truly harness the power of the dark side as a mean to rule the galaxy with an iron fist, because it is the only way to get light side force users to do their bidding to balance the force, thus fulfilling the prophecy. When this all powerful dark being dies, it transfers its dark force power and its subconscious spirit to a user with the highest midicholrian count. This progress continues forever until the end of time.


Millions of generations later to the time when Sheev Palatine came into existence, during his late childhood he had a revelation; fulfill the prophecy, balance the force. He did not know what to do until Darth Plagiues came into his life, ultimately unlocking the burden of a powerful dark side user that was embedded into Sheev's DNA. Darth Plagiues knew of the prophecy as well and so he and Sheev worked in secrecy, because only those with the DNA coding of carrying this burden, can know it, nobody else. Just as Darth Maul and Count Dooku did not know they would be disposed of and replaced by Anakin Skywalker. Maul and Dooku would have never been able to fulfill the prophecy of balancing the force, their midichlorian count was predetermined to be low.

The world would never understand something incredible as this. It was in the best of the dark side users to play the role of evil, murderous tyrants rather than peaceful dark side users. They knew they had the burden of a yang, it is how nature works, days and nights, hot and cold, dark and light.
