Irony: George Lucas, circa 1998 - "The destruction of our film heritage, which is the focus of concern today, is only the tip of the iceberg. American law does not protect our painters, sculptors, recording artists, authors, or filmmakers from having their lifework distorted, and their reputation ruined. If something is not done now to clearly state the moral rights of artists, current and future technologies will alter, mutilate, and destroy for future generations the subtle human truths and highest human feeling that talented individuals within our society have created." "Tomorrow, more advanced technology will be able to replace actors with “fresher faces,” or alter dialogue and change the movement of the actor’s lips to match. It will soon be possible to create a new “original” negative with whatever changes or alterations the copyright holder of the moment desires. In the future it will become even easier for old negatives to become lost and be “replaced” by new altered negatives. This would be a great loss to our society. Our cultural history must not be allowed to be rewritten."

Adywan did a great job recutting the Obi-Wan/Vader fight. It's the highlight of Revisted.

@simonpegg Simon Pegg "Always loved Vader's wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin's ghost. What a f*cking shame."

I don't see how it could; it's a gag, a prank--one that HG had no part in. They aren't liable for anything in this case.

I find this highly unlikely.

That's exactly what I was talking about Marzan, it's never quite the same or as good after episode 26 or so.

They have no say, and no one has the balls to tell George no.

NY Times: Lucasfilm confirms change Yeah, not buying this set.

More videos from the Blu's are popping up on Youtube, including various new CGI "enhancements" to the OT which look like shite. Grain of salt:

And genocide.

Frak you, George Lucas. Frak you in the ass until you die. Ain't It Cool News: Goddammit, George... NO! I'll pass on this set, and I'll find an alternate method to get the bonus disc content.

Macros and Mospeada are already gritty, dark, and modern.

After MASH.

I've finished both the original NES FFII and the PSX release... Just my opinion, but I believe that FFIII is the great unknown gem of the FF franchise; it might be in my top 5 favorite FF games.

I don't think you could use that much RAM if you tried. Can't beat that 2500K, though.

You won't like II; nobody likes II.

How would a helicopter work in space?

Well, no, of course not.

Hacking a Wii is fairly simple if you have an SD card handy and a computer that has a card reader. Of course, the best way to do it is through emulation; Dolphin runs the game beautifully and at much higher resolutions than the Wii.

Nothing. Just pointing out a famous fanboy who "made good."

XIII was neither original, nor was it innovative; it was a regression. I played maybe 15 minutes of it before turning around and selling it. I don't think anyone can fault the FF series for being hit or miss; over 20+ years you are going to have some duds. FFII may be the worst game I've ever played to completion, I wouldn't play through VIII again if you paid me, and XIII wasn't worth the effort. IX is a wonderful game up until the 4th disc, and XII was so ambitious and strong that it went off the reservation and stumbled toward the end game. Going back over the past decade there have been three JRPG's that I have enjoyed: Final Fantasy X, XII, and Dragon Quest VIII. However, I wouldn't put any of them over several of the JRPG's I played in the decade preceding it (oh, but XII had so much potential, but just didn't quite close the deal). In the PSX era alone, Final Fantasy VII, Tactics, Front Mission 3, Vagrant Story, and Xenogears are all superior to any JRPG I've played in the PS2 era forward. Now, I haven't finished Xenoblade yet, so I am not including it in the conversation, but I don't think its a stretch to say it's the best JRPG I've seen in a decade.

I'd like to point out that the brilliant Xenoblade Chronicles is everything that is right about JRPG's. My first JRPG was Dragon Warrior (I've also played II, III, VI, and VIII), and I've played every Final Fantasy up to (but not including) 13, excluding 11. Hell, my favorite game of all time is a JRPG, Xenogears. I'd like to think I've got a pretty good handle on what a good JRPG is, or at least what I think one is. I don't think the problem is that they haven't stuck with tried and true game mechanics (though, it's one of the things I love about the Dragon Quest series), the problem is a total lack of originality or vision from the developers--SquareEnix in particular. Unfortunately, there's only one Tetsuya Takahashi and only one Yasumi Matsuno (and thankfully neither one is with SquareEnix).
