More cash grab from Lucas... Forget about Star Wars 90210 and get back to work finishing Indiana Jones 4.

I'm waiting for the Star Wars reality show where every week the audience votes a Padawan off the show and only one gets to be a Jedi.

I just hope George Lucas has enough sense to allow someone else to write and direct it.

And if it features Ewoks or Jar Jar Binks, I'll shoot my TV.

Awwww crap, is Lucas writing Indy 4??!!?   Well might as well forget looking forward to that too.  Lucas lost his mind after Empire, or they killed him and found an imbecile replica.  Whatever, he should pass all of the writing for his movies off to someone with half a clue. 
Ewoks SUCKED (sorry), Yoda never should have sounded like the cookie monster, and Jar Jar and the bad japanese-sounding aliens are just beyond forgiveness.

"Indy will replace his trademark whip and gun for a featherduster and walkie-talkie in the new movie.  Lucas was reported to say that he never felt that Indiana Jones should hurt anyone, but instead tickle his enemies into unconsiousness, then call for medical assistance." -Reuters

Heh, that sentence was ambiguous. Did you mean "largest" or rather "most dedicated"?  ;D

For example, in the first case I would expect you to have the complete set of figures from 30 years of happy meals. In the second case I would expect you to know the name of the hyper-intelligent ewok once imitated by which elite squadron? Especially since you are a big ewok fan and all...  8)

More info on Indy 4 can be found here... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367882/

Apparently he's finished the Indy 4 script and the movie is just waiting for Spielberg to finish a movie before moving to this project.  So I assume 2007 will be the release date for Indy4.

Didn't those two sound the same except for an occasional "COOOOOKKKKKIIIIEEEEEE!!!!" ???

Still it just wasn't right, ruined an otherwise perfect movie (I still love it, but sheesh).

Hmm, If we count the pounds of stuff that people own, I'd definately win hands down. I have almost every figure that has come out to date, and past 1983, most still in the original package. I think I am the largest in pure collection size. Most Dedicated is too difficult to decide. For example, did you buy the trilogy on DVD? I consider that to be blasphemy, and a crime that should be equal to stealing a candy bar, or jaywalking, or somethin... yeah...
I am buying the laserdisc version of star wars, and a laser disc player, simply so I can watch the REAL movies the way they are suppose to be.

I think there is about to be a nerd rumble up in this hizzy.    ;D

I already own the original versions on DVD.  Buying 35mm prints of the original trilogy would be a sign of ultimate fandom, buying a LD player and the LDs is a sign of fiscal irresponsibility.

Wouldn't Lucas send Stormtroopers to your house to confiscate them? I know he's a spaz about the "original trilogy."

Eh, the laser disc player is 30-50, and the Laser discs are around 50 on ebay. The box set is around 50. So really, it isn't that irresponsi.... Ok, so it is. When it comes to hobbies, whether star wars or arcade, you don't always consider the absolute fiscal responsibilty. I'm not just doing it to prove my fandom. I really want to watch the movies on Laserdisc.

I'm not going to get into a legal and moral argument about the pirated versions of the trilogy on DVD. I just don't want it for my stuff. I'd rather get the real. If the version you have suffices you, more power to you. I'd prefer my way.
