FUCK THAT.
I know it's super nerdy to complain about it, but I'm not willing to pay for a copy of the movie if that's the way it's going to be. Solo is supposed to kill him in cold blood.
Lucas, if you want my cash you're going to have to release the real deal. Spielberg, you too. I didn't buy none of your walkie talkie E.T. shit. Good thing I still have the real deals on VHS. But still, DVD would be nice.
Man, I am such a freakin' fanboy sometimes.

What we REALLY need is the 'extended edition' (Score:3, Funny)
1. 5 minutes of yet unseen footage of Princess Lea in chains and bikini
2. 15 minutes of extended (grusome) Ewok death scenes during the final battle.
3. 10 minute conversation of luke and Darth reminicing and coming to terms over their 'broken family' .
4. cut scene of Luke working on the farm....tilling perhaps...or milking the cows. - you know, to add context
5. an indepth and real explanation of the implications of the kiss between luke and his sister....ewwww.
6.ummmmm, more cut scenes of lea belly dancing in the casino ship.
that would add atleast another 40min easy! :).

Slow-witted guy eating donut: "You wanna watch the new Star Wars movie?"
Guy wearing scarf: "Oh, puh-lease! The new Star Wars movies blow! People were not meant to see movies with good special effects. People need to see strings, rubber suits, and that shit."
Digs out worn VHS copy of the original Star Wars movie.
"What is that?"
"This, my friend, is the only version of Star Wars I will touch," he says while lovingly stroking the VHS tape.
"Is it the THX remastered version?"
"No! I just -- it's the original Star Wars movie on VHS. It allows me to watch the only decent movie ever committed to celluloid."
"Celluloid?"
"Yessss!"
"Does it have computer effects?"
"Jesus! Just watch. It's so pure it hurts
Screen zooms in to a rubber suited alien flopping around a dingy sound stage threatening a young Harrison Ford. A man in a metal robot suit starts prat-falling on the scene.
The fact is, the new Star Wars movies are just as good as the old ones. Complainers were just 20 years younger when they saw the originals.

(I thought I read somewhere that Marlon Brando was actually playing Jabba in that scene
Common misconception. Marlon Brando was actually Jabba in Return of the Jedi. A lot of people think it's a big puppet, but it's just Brando naked.

SciFi Acting (See Babylon 5) (Score:3, Funny)
In non-scifi works, actors are expected to have emotional range and be capable of pulling the audience into the plot for the plot's sake. Their ability to project the suspension of disbelief is key into the audience feeling that they are part of an actual event instead of simply an observer.
The SciFi sliding scale, however, is broken into several sub-categories of attributes that are appealing to your typical SlashDot reader. This attributes include such qualities as bust size, scruffiness, ability to immediately represent a given stereotype, bust size, how they look sitting naked on a rock on a desert planet, how they look in a form fitting uniform, bust size, and how they look shooting a ray gun. Occasionally, if they are not female, thus making bust size irrelevant, their acting ability may come into play unless they can show documented proof of being on such hits as "The Scarecrow and Mrs. King".
