I'm already in line to miss them.

Nnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Stupid lameness filter is causing issues
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
of the ewok series! go wicket!
Hopefully he will take a cue and make it similar to the "Holiday Special".
I can't wait to see the dynamics of Jar-Jar's family!
the Star Wars universe would be a great setting for many different kinds of stories..then Timothy Zahn came along and proved me wrong.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
"The Return Of Jar-Jar" and "The Children of Jar-Jar" will probably kill Star Wars this time around.
On Topic: Best headline ever.
[Insert pithy quote here]
as if millions of Star Wars fans cried out in horror and fainted.
Do not want.
Well, it was supposed to be one word.
I've got a bad feeling about this....
Format is irrelevant. He can target them at IMAX or video cell phones, expectations will be low. Very low.

Maybe close. But it'll probably come out more like "The Mandalorian Armior", featuring the life and times of force-sensitive furniture. Beware the Sith folding chair...
But we cannot let George Lucas continue to perpetrate his genocide against childhood memories!
"I am sick and tired of these mother-f**king Gungans . . . on this mother-f**king starship!"
Hmm, come to think if it, I might actually pay to see this movie! ;-)
And how do we know that Lucas hasn't been replaced by a sophisticated animatronic to fulfil the will of the com..mit..ee. The only facts we can be certain of is that
A) in light of the ET "guns->walkie talkies" incident and the "Greedo is an exceedingly bad shot" controversy and the "Let's include some comic relief that coincidentally is a derogatory racial reference that we obviously didn't intend" fiasco, his actions have been indistinguishable from those of a committee.
B) His most recent body appears to have enough volume to contain two midgets and a complete animatronic rig
C) there is no footage more recent than ten years showing Lucas standing up and walking on his own.
The conclusion is inescapable: Lucas clearly has been replaced by an elaborate puppet sometime around the filming of the third Indiana Jones movie ("Young Indiana Jones" being the earliest available bit of evidence) and there is currently a power struggle within the committee as to how best to pillage his previous "franchises" before being found out and forced to abandon the ruse.
Can you be Even More Awesome?!
of course I am also George Lucas's bitch.
If you were a whiney bitch, you could be a lead character.
We are all just people.

who worked on the death star. Tell us the story of how those contracts came in, and follow these contractors through to the destruction of the second death star. Perhaps Randall will stop ranting about how they were innocent bystanders in this conflict.
Kinda like the muppet babies, only more Rastafarian influence.
Just because you can, does not mean you should.
I feel a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of Jar Jar Binks suddenly cried out in terror, and were never silenced.
She's going play Empress Palpatine.
Damn, yet more SW cash-ins, and here I was hoping for Howard The Duck 2...
To do something right, you often have to roll up your sleeves and get busy.

...an irretrievable moron.
I cite the following:
1. The 80's were musically irrelevant...
2. Rush was a heavy metal band.
While the first is open to debate, the second has long since been proven in the court of public opinion to be absolutely false.
Conclusion:
If faced with a side-by-side comparison of his head and his ass, our dear columnist would be hard-pressed to find any dissimilarity.
Thank you.
"Jar Jar, you're being appointed as the Imperial ambassador to Alderaan."
"Me-sa honored, Big Boss Tarkin, When me go?"
(Tarkin whispers to Vader) "You've got the princess on the Death Star, right?"
(Vader) "Yes, governor."
"Why right away, Jar Jar, as soon as you're packed!"
"Whoopee!" (exit right).
(Tarkin) "So we'll finally be rid of this annoying fool?"
(Vader) "I've been wanting to do this since I was 10."
