Ahh, the movie everyone relates me to, Howard the duck, also the beginning of the fall of George Lucas. How I loathe thee.

EDIT: You know if you wanted to bring up Nostalgia Critic and George Lucas together I'm surprised you didn't go with the Star Wars Christmas Special review he did, although I'm willing to believe it was an act of mercy that you decided against it.

I believe you'll find GL will give you a blank look and ask "What christmas special" if you bring that up mate.

I didn't think it was THAT bad. I mean, He-Man CS was pretty darn bad.

Apparently, GL is making changes AGAIN to the upcoming BluRay Star Wars box. This time he adds things like Darth Vader screaming the ridiculously
idiotic "Noooooooo" from RotS as he kills the Emperor in the end of RotJ.
Well played, Georgie...

Well if I wanted to be pedantic I couold point out Star Wars is like modern mythology and like the ancient myths there were different versions of what the great heroes of old (Hercules, Jason and the Argonauts) got up to.

Some said Han and Greedo shot at the same time, others said Greedo shot first, there are even elder wise ones who whisper that in fact Han shot first.
Or I could just say George is a silly person who needs to be kept as far away from the films as possible.

You would need loony bin on small rocky island somewhere middle of ocean. Preferably somewhere nearby Antarctic surrounded by waters with substantial shark population.

Ofcourse Millenium Falcon turning up would spoil this scheme.

Yes, among other things, blinking Ewoks, Yoda in A New Hope (Don't quote me on that one), and redubbed lines. I heard fans are even planning to form a boycott.

Lucky for me I'm too cheap for Blu-ray so I'll stick to my dvd copies.

Dont even have a BR player myself, so don't care.

Only have heard about the Yoda puppet being replaced by a CGI one in
the prequels. Think that's the only change that actually makes something
better.
