So... the French get THIS until March 1st in honor of Episode 1 being rereleased in 3D. Forgoing the fact that the new saga ruined Star Wars, I mean seriously, WTF! They get a Darth Vader (and they can't fucking spell it right too - Dark Vador, really? These idiots who called him Dark Vador have the same level of brain function as a mentally handicapped orangutan tripping face of large quantities of acid) edition Double Cheeseburger. I mean who the hell wants to go with a regular Jedi Burger when you can get all Darkside in the house. What the fuck man... how the hell can the French be one step ahead on this! God Damn It!

the whole fucking star wars

the whole fucking star wars franchise was indeed ruined. too much emphasis on FX, stupid theories about metachlorion or whatever the fuck, and wrong pacing in chronology. here's how it should go

episode IV a new hope
episode V empire strikes black
episode VI the return of tha jedi

ok those were watchable, but it should begin

episode I: we start with anakin as a horny teenager trying to bang the natalie portman broad, forgot her name, unsuccessfully. one day while jacking off he discovers this force mojo thing. i'm not going to get into details but let's just say it is all about "hey ma no hands!" his evil impulses lead him to use this for petty crime until obi-1 steps in and scares him straight and brings him into the jedi fold. then we close with a morally ambiguous situation where he is a bit too brutal in the pursuit of justice and ends up causing more collateral damage than curtis lemay on a drunken bender. there is none of this trade war bullshit or that weird anteater looking thing that everyone hates. i forgot the name of it.

episode II: anakin is a full jedi now and is getting more ass than a fucking toilet seat. he is really enjoying this life but his swelling ego is starting to chafe obi-1 and there is a lot of friction between them. in a battle with the sith anakin cuts out on obi-1 to go for, i don't know, the sith grand wizard or whatever, getting obi-1 nearly killed. this really puts them over the edge and obi-1 puts anakin up to get booted from the jedi. as all this is happening amidala (now i remember( is really getting wet in the knickers for him, because ladies, admit it, you luvv the bad boyz. they start a thing, and even though anakin is borderline, it is the discovery of this illicit romance that puts him on the outs with the jedi council.

episode III: anakin joins up with a sith crew led by a plodding and unambitious sith named frank. his first task is to go down to a remote planet to secure a buy of a few ki's of allspice. he ends up buying way more allspice than frank is willing to handle and they fall out. frank has got weight on him because anakin greased some whacked out wookies for him at the sun-ray hotel and puts the heat on. anakin turns around an assassination attempt, kills frank, and takes over the whole crew. then he goes on an intergalactic killing ramapge, killing every jedi he can find. finally he duels it out with obi-1 in the same way that lucas shot episode III (this is the ONE thing he did right, for god's sake). anakin breaks the cardinal rule of not getting high on his own supply (of allspice) and gets cut up bad. amidala dies of grief in childbirth. and then we cut to the new hope.

there you go lucas now you have a real saga.

Libor, that's freaking awesome.

As to Star Wars, all I need to say is there is no fucking reason Greedo should ever shoot first. Original Trilogy Only. Pre-'97, None of this Special Edition ILM update rerelease bullshit. We're talking the three films released in 1977, 1980 and 1983 only. That is the only Trilogy. The only way to watch the Original Trilogy is in 2:40:1 in 7.2 Surround Sound to fully appreciate the experience.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
