So

I assume this means that the original and Empire Strikes Back are already out on DVD? What - no? Fuckin' Lucas put down the doughnuts and put out your *good* movies!

Let's hope it's not....

eight scenes of Jar Jar that never made it into the movie

Look on the bright side....some of those can be death scenes of Jar Jar

Scene 1: Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting Druku, Anakin has just gotten his arm chopped off. Suddenly, by the launch bay doors, a shadow appears...and out comes Jar Jar. He exclaims "NOOOSA yousa cannot hurt massa Anakin". Druku then throws his lightsabre at Jar Jar, severing both of his ears. As Jar Jar bends to pick them up, Druku picks him up by his neck and brings him 20 feet into the air. Jar Jar is then flipped and dropped head first. His brains form an elequant star pattern.

Scene 2: The Gungans have joined the clone army in the final battle scene, with Jar Jar at their head. His mount trips, and he goes flying forward, and accidently falls in the middle of a wagon of catapult ammo. As he clambers up, he trips over the back, causing it to break. Hits the dirt hard, and when he looks up, the Boombas have fallen out and are rolling at him. One hits his head, and it explodes, causing an elequent star pattern in the dirt.

Can you think of more? Post them!

Hey, you made a cool portmanteau! Eloquent + elegant = elequent. :)

Scene 3: Jar Jar sees Anakin diving out of the air car and stands up in his own car to watch... leaning too far over, of course, briefly catching his foot in the seat belt, then plummeting several hundred feet to become a vaguely Gungan-shaped, somewhat star-patterned hole in the street.

Scene 4: The other ambassador from Naboo, irate and distraught, pushes Jar Jar over the side of their floating senate car when the latter proposes Chancellor Palpatine be given emergency powers. Jar Jar lands, breaking his back, on top of the Wookie delegation, which proceed to break the rest of him. Half of him (Jar) winds up next to the ET cameo. The other half (the other Jar) is shipped to the Geonosian arena for immediate consumption by the reek, acklay, and nexu.

One can but dream.

MORE scenes?

[sulli]

Can we have fewer scenes - Phantom Edit II? Get rid of all that sappy shit and a real movie emerges.

Deleted Scenes

...six hours of additional material including ... eight scenes that never made it into the movie.

Well, here's hoping for the bedroom scene on the night of Anakin and Padmé's wedding!

He's probably waiting until Episode 3 is done so that digitally correct the inconsistencies he's creating in 4-6.

"Technical" information in the "making of" footage

[Dr.Dubious DDQ]

Hopefully, they'll include some technical information about the gadgetry and animatronics they used. I, for one, am eager to find out what they used to build the robots that played Obi-wan, Anakin, Padme, and the rest... :-)

Star what? Attack of the what?

Star WARS: Attack of the CLONES.

Sheesh, where have you been?

Good News/Bad News

[Brian Knotts]

The good news is that Star Wars IV will finally be relased on DVD.

The bad news is that all Imperial troops will be replaced with ewoks, and all light sabres and other weapons replaced with walkie-talkies.

Re:Episode II DVD checklist

[glwtta]

Your post smacks of one searching desperatly for a stick with which to beat the movie, and I have to wonder why.

Me too - awful writing, non-existent plot, atroceous acting, annoying characters, horrible looking CGI, worst dialogue anyone's seen in a long time, etc. You don't really have to search for things to bash the movie for.

Sh*t in a box

[Aqua OS X]

Damn, I knew -someone- would find a way to sell sh*t in a box someday. Go figure, it's go'na be George Lucas. ;)

(I guess this post will drop my good Slashdot karma down a peg.)
