I saw Artoo on a box of Cheese-its last night. Brace yourself for the deluge.

Well if R2-D2 is on that box, then those Cheese-its must fit into George's vision.

After all it's HIS story and only he can tell it- whether it's on the big screen or a box of Cheese-its.

Also I assume Artoo must actually eat Cheese-its, because i know he's got integrity and won't endorse products he doesn't actually use.

I asked for your opinion. Until you give it to me i'm not interested.

I would love to read an EU novel about R2-D2 and some Cheese-Its. I pick R.A. Salvatore to tackle that one.

Considering that Lucas decided all of a sudden to give Artoo jet-propulsion in ATTACK OF THE CLONES, maybe in REVENGE OF THE SITH we'll find out that he doubles as a snack machine and will spit out packets of Cheez-Its when you feed him Republic credits.

I want to see the story about the guy who must travel the universe refilling the artoo units when they run out of cheez-its.

But, Jariten how can you explain comments like this in the OT:

OT Obi-Wan: "When I first met your father, I was amazed at how strong he was in the Force."

PT Obi-Wan: "Why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic lifeform."

OT Obi-Wan: "...the good man who was your father..."

PT: The only place where Anakin is actually GOOD is in TPM, and he's how old---8 or 9? I don't care WHAT culture you're from... 8 or 9 is not a MAN! And I didn't see a "good man" in AOTC, and obviously there will be no "good man" in ROTS.

I think a lot of these continuity issues only become serious if you let them (a lot, not all). Take the TPM Obi Wan line you posted. That was obviously intended to be a joke, Obi Wan smirking at Qui Gons love of taking people under his wing. I dont really think that you can etch that line of dialogue in stone and sell it.

The "good man" thing is open to interpretation. Was he a do gooder like Luke? No, hes more complicated than that. Is he a "bad" person at the end of AotC? No, I dont think so. Of course, he did bad things in AotC, but hes not a bad person.

snaithbert- Thanks for replying. I just think these boards are funnier when people are really venting their anger. I do understand why you think those things, even though I personally dont agree. but you have to try to imagine that just because you dont like these films, that doesnt mean that no else did. Theres millions of SW prequel fans knocking about here and there, and one day all of the OT nostalga will be gone (which featured, in one way or another, in a lot of the PT reviews I read)

Barend- what post? That comment was aimed at snaithbert.

There's no need to be rude, is there?

no, theres not. sorry.

Oh, I think you're right about that.

Just think, all it took to kill the OT nostalgia- was the PT.

The PT has given Star Wars such stigma that it's going to make ALL Star Wars look bad.

And to me, that's the saddest thing of all.

It's like tossing a red sock in with your nice white clothes.

Everything turns pink and then it's ALL ruined.

Thanks, George.

In any case, whether we agree or not, you seem like a very decent chap, Jariten.

What say we agree to disagree?

Ok. At least until May 19th anyway, then i'm coming out shooting

I actually got my ticket for Sith today. Seeing it Thursday morning.
