In fact, much of the plot focuses on rescuing Jabba's kidnapped baby boy. (Who knew the intergalactic gangster was such a family man?)

When Spaceballs came out, I thought it was a little late to really work. Now I see that Mel Brooks' spoof was way ahead of its time.

Lucas seems determinded to ret-con Jabba into a cuddly comic relief, judging from his appearences in Star Wars: Special Edition (where Han steps on his tail) and Phantom Menace (where he dozes off at the race). The original Jabba was one of the best things about Return of the Jedi: a great special effects, and a wonderfully evil and vile character, making up for Vader's softening!

Between the Ewoks and the neutering of Vader, thank goodness for the cruel, vile villainly of Jabba the Hutt. He's my favorite thing about Jedi, which frankly is my least favorite of the original trilogy (but still miles better than the prequels). "The important question is not, are there aliens on other worlds? No. The important question is, do they have ray guns?"

Is it just me or would anybody else have LOVED to see the next three chapters after IV-VI? If we can't get the original actors to play in a live action movie, I would whole-heartedly pay my hard earned money to see an animated Luke, Leia, & Han. Hell, let's get the original actors to at least do voice-overs, probably be alot cheaper! These are the characters we fell in love with. Why does George keep pushing all this clone wars crap? There was a big war. I GET IT, George!! I don't need two movies, two dvds, and a big animated movie to tell me anymore. I'm sick of this period of time in the Star Wars universe. What about animated versions of Splinter of the Minds Eye, or the Timothy Zahn books, Heir to the Empire series? These are the stories I'm looking for to be told on the big screen.

So many people talk about how Vader is one of the greatest villains ever created, so he decided to flesh it out and give us a crap load of stuff about how he became Vader. The thing that I don't think he understands is that Vader is fascinating, menacing, and just all sorts of "cool", but Anakin is just somebody that nobody really cares about. I don't think anybody really cared "how" Vader became what he is, we just liked him as is. Personally I want more Vader and MUCH less Anakin. My fanzine all about Rock N Roll: www.sonicruin.com

And Vader worked wonderfully as a foil against truly appealing "good guys" -- Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie were easy to root for. Anakin, Padme and Young Obi-Wan are poor substitutes.

My 9-year-old nephew told me it was the coolest thing ever and that he would definitely see it with me whenever I wanted to go.
