In yet another tedious Star Wars Related article, and my 200th for the week, I thought I would offer these three web sites:

A New Hope

The Empire Strikes Back

The Return Of The Jedi

     They are articles from a cool web site called dvdanswers.com, that describe and show through pictures the changes that George Lucas has made to the three Star Wars Movies over the years, from the original, to the special editons from the ninetes, to the dvd releases last year. It’s pretty cool if you are interested in that at all, and it even has audio clips from al the dialouge he has changed, rerecorded, and otherwise tampered with. Check it out.

     Soleil Moon Frye, AKA Punky Brewster, is pregnant. I had the biggest crush on her when I was like 8.

     And now she is having babies.
 
     I am 1000 years old.

A SAFETY NOTE FOR GEEKS:

     I understand that every geek has Star Wars fever relly bad right now AND I know light sabers are super cool. I would like one as much as anyone, BUT NOT THIS BADLY. These two people, one girl and one a boy, blew them selves up trying to make a light saber.
     I mean these people are in critical condition in a burn ward, and will have spend the rest of their lives having to come up with good answers to the question, ”How's ya get those scar's?”, AND NOT EVEN FOR THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY.

By the way, one of these people was a girl. Thus proving there are girl geeks too. (Though in this case a stupid one.)

     American Idol is over after tonight and tomorrow. AT LAST I WILL BE FREE. I am not going to watch it next year. AND THIS TIME I MEAN IT.

     For the Geek response to the new Star Wars moive, I turn things over to Aint It Cool News.

    Star Wars Talk Back

     Dear George Lucas,

     I love Star Wars. I just need to say that up front. I saw A New Hope in July in of 1977 and I am very proud of that, even if I was three months old at the time. I reportedly crapped my pants, which is a grand compliment from a baby. That means I have loved it my entire life. 

      I also need to say before we move any further that I understand about episodes II and I. I often don’t agree with your chioces, but I understand. Your'e the boss. Despite any disappointment I may have about them, there are very nice parts in both movies, especially in episode two, and I appreciate your effort. You didn't have to make any of them, an I am thankful that you did.
     I have seen all five, own them, and have been there with you for the entire journey, yours and mine. Just so you know.

     I am happy to say that I am off to see Star Wars this weekend, and for the record, think it will be good.
   
     But I am also hoping that it isn't lousy.
  
     Is that too much to ask for? That it doesn't suck? I don't really think so. I have been waiting to see this particular movie for a VERY long time. Years and years and years and years. If there were ever a movie that was so nearly screw up proof, for me, this would be it. Honestly. I am almost guaranteed to like it, and I am willing to meet you half way. If it is good at all, then I am willing to overlook a lot of problems with all the other movies. I have made my peace with Ewoks, and can make my peace with Jar Jar in time.
  
      I can make explanations for a lot of things, AND RECENTLY I HAVE HAD TO DO A GREAT DEAL OF EXPLAINING WHILE TRYING TO STAND UP FOR YOU, YOUR WORK, AND THE STORY I LOVE. If this movie is bad making explanations may become much more difficult to do. Just please let this not suck.
    
     I appreciate your time Mr. Lucas, and again, thank you for everything you’ve given me over the years.

     Respectfully,

     Benjamin Phillips

PS: Congratulations on the huge opening weekend. I am happy I could do my part.

    'The Riddler' Frank Gorshin Dies at 72

     A bold new study from HOMELAND SECURITY has determined that corporate insiders who sabotage computers and networks are motivated mainly by anger against their bosses. This must be opposed to common wisdom dictating that only HAPPY, WELL ADJUSTED employees sabotage. And Republican think DEMOCRATS waste tax money. I wonder what head start they shut down to fund that little study. DUH.

Study: Disgruntled Workers Likely Saboteurs

     Star Wars III comes out at midnight tonight. If this one sucks too you may see 100,000 pale, angry geeks form a riotous mob, drag George Lucas out into the street, and beat him to death. Let's hope things go well, nobody want's to see that kind of geek on geek ugliness.

LET'S STAY SAFE EVERYBODY.

     STOCK UP AN CANNED FOOD AND SHOTGUNS. THE END IS NIGH.

     Why am I so freaked out,

     New Robot Reproduces on Its Own

    Oh yea, it's all fun and games until THE ROBOT REVOLUTION begins and those damn robots MAKE US THEIR SLAVES. Add self replicating robots and artificial intelligence and together you have BIG, BIG, TROUBLE.

     DID NO ONE WATCH THE TERMINATOR!
