LOL! In the TOS series you are right about that. But then again, I'll end this and move on by
saying we were at a disadvantage because we didn't have a planet (Kamino, I believe) constantly
making identical, genetically modified clone troopers in the thousands either!

And then use plot-hole torpedoes to 'fix' the space time continuum.

You won the match anyway... I am just trying to give you guys a few laughs...!

I think we need to call a truce Shark7...
I am really afraid they will drop a weapon of Mass Destruction or Mass Surrender or Mass Evacatuation... whatever this weapon will trigger, it will NOT be pleasant




My troops cannot repel that thing; they are just too scared!

Finally, a Star Wars vs Star Trek debate that doesn't get too heated. Good job my fellow nerds.



Our shields can't repel flamboyance of that magnitude!

MASSIVE EDIT!!!!!! : Look at my post count!!!!!!

A truce?!

Bear in mind that I am a fan of both Star Wars and Star Trek, so I'm playing both ends against the middle for some laughs.

If you really want things to get ugly we could always compare the ways in which TOS is superior to TNG... or how the first 3 Star Wars movies were vastly better than the prequels (and yes probably best not to get me started on that one).

All in fun, though I can see how my comment might have been taken to be a bit too serious.

I think everyone knew you were joking; I was trying to slip in a Luxana Troi comment.
In the immortal words of Commander Data: it was not a serious disparagement.

I am surprised you are the first person to come up with that shirt.
I laughed myself silly about that one.

I think ole George Lucas is getting soft and cute in his old age.
I do not think he is capable of producing a movie as dark as the Empire Strikes Back. Technically, Revenge of the Sith should be darker BUT its tone was not the same as the Empire Strikes Back!

I'm slowly working my way through them and got to Episode IV and stopped, i heard Lucas has 'improved' them yet again and i'm affraid to see what he's messed with this time around.

I dont mind touching up the special effects with modern CGI so much but its when he edits scenes like the cantina or editing out original actors for the modern replacements that i start getting annoyed.

Guess i'm just a purest!

I'd honestly be more likely to buy a blue ray boxed set if I could get the untouched movies as they originally released.

It's clear to me that Lucas is living in a bubble. The people around him are probably constantly reassuring him that the fans want more effects, more special editions, more hype. They're too scared to tell him the truth.

Unless he's just waiting for the revenue to dry up. Then he'll give us what we want and make a packet. It's for this reason I'm not buying any of the 'enhanced' versions.

I wonder if there are any TV channels that might screen an HD version of the originals? I'd assume if they did, it'd be an internet sensation.

Or where Luke sees Obi Wan, Yoda and Anakin as a kid and he smiles like he knows who it is!
Jabba the hut as a giant CGI frog in a scene that serves no purpose other than an excuse to line Lucas' pockets.

I could go on

I was originally going to tease you and say, 'you do not feel strongly about this do you?'
But I agree, it is AWFUL!
The next change will be to Indiana Jones and the swordsman in Ægypt... he will draw a gun and ONLY THEN does Indy shoot the guy!

lol yeah.
I do feel quite hurt about the changes, I cannot enjoy the films that I remember, my only choice is to watch these tinkered versions that look more dated than the originals.
I know it's nerd rage but it's how I feel, I wont lie.

What else would you edit? I mean come on, the explosions are WAY beyond the modern standard of film vandalism. A car blows up like an atombomb by a bullet shot today and a small crash will crush half the city. Indy must definetly be updated to that. We need to see arabian citys crumble!

There was a DVD version of the original a few years ago. I do not know if I have that version or not... if I do not, I am SURE they pulled it off of the market!

It was indeed, but then I am just an old man ranting that the version of SW I remember is sitting in two places: one on the editting room floor, and perhaps, just perhaps, in George Lucas' private screening room!

I think Bill may have met his match this time. I think he'd have more like fighting the Gorn.
