Can Star Wars Episode III Be Saved?
mcwop writes "MSNBC is running a commentary asking: 'Can "Star Wars: Episode III" be saved?' It proposes changes such as ripping off Akira Kurosawa, getting the otherwise good actors to emote, and even firing Lucas. It is one year away, but is it too late to save Episode III?"
no.
Save or save not. There is no try!
Well, call me crazy, but how can surfing on lava not save a movie? Is there a better way short of two car chases in a single movie?
reminds me of an old comment i read:
Episode III: The Passion of Jar-Jar
it's just 2 hours of jar-jar being beaten.
Marge, get me your address book, 4 beers, and my conversation hat.
Star Wars will be saved much like how Alderaan was spared by Tarkin in Ep 4.

Your sig gives me a great idea! Why not take the article's suggestion of dropping Hayden Christiansen and replacing him... with Henry Rollins! Wouldn't that be awesome?! Lava-surfing saber battles? Hell no! Serious man-on-man pummeling! A pre-armor Vader the size of a Volkswagen stomping around in gym shorts like some heavily-tattooed punk-rock Hulk would absolutely beat the living *crap* out of what we had before! And the first time someone calls him "Annie" he could just head-butt them and start screaming into... erm... some sort of space microphone or something.
That would rule.
Was I the only one who instantly thought of the scene where Leia kisses him when they read that?
Talking Pie.
They'll forget all the mistakes of the past if you add such a character.
Jar Jar makes the Ewoks look like fucken Shaft!
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
"It didn't take a Jar Jar character in the US Senate when it voted to give Bush the power to wage war.."
agreed...it took 77 Jar Jar characters in the Senate and 296 Jar Jar characters in the House. Of course, why the rest of the Jar Jar characters in the Legislature voted otherwise will always be a mystery...

To whomever moderated my original post as flamebait, I think you may have misunderstood my comparison of Bush to Jar Jar binks. I was not insinuating that they are both bumbling idiots, I merely meant that they both have floppy ears and funny accents.
