    Lucasfilm changes original Star Wars trilogy again

    in Off Topic Cantina

    QUOTE:One Star Wars fan puts it quite bluntly. "With one of these new changes (the 'Noooooo'

    Lastly, there is also word that Ewoks now blink in RotJ. They still creep me out.

    What do you think of the changes, if they are indeed true?

    END QUOTE.

    IMHO, EWOKS :ewok1: were THE SINGLE WORST Life-form created in ROTJ, let alone the fact that they played such a central role :angry: The fact that the script allowed obese "Teddy-Bears" armed with stone age weapons defeat highly Mobile and heavily Armored Troops and equipment :atat: was completely implausible. I'm 53 y.o. and I have a very intact memory of people in the theater exclaiming "are you kidding me" (it was actually more vulgar).... people even walked out. Probably, the only facet of ROTJ I liked, was the coming to terms/deliverance/death of Vader, and the interaction with Luke.

    Unlike the angst, sorrow, and Uncertain future for the Rebellion at the end of ESB; ROTJ was a cute and cuddly warm and fuzzy, everybody feels good at the end "crowd pleaser" and a stroke of marketing genius for Christmas. I'm afraid that all the "added scenes, and effects' are just that..marketing, with little added value. Its like an attractive 40 yo. woman trying to dress ( and often act) like shes 20, it comes off badly, and original charm and grace is polluted. IRON RAM: you are spot-on. If this course is continued, the saga will loose its original value....and self destruct. Sci-Fi Classic such as "The Thing" and "The day the Earth stood still" are perfect examples of what becomes of a classic when its re-written to please modern appetites for Hi Zoot production design and effects, graphic violence, or socially correct value statements. This could very well happen to "The greatest Saga" ever told.

    1. Vito- You a cop or sumpthing? You sure sound like one or maybe its just the bacon I smell from the kitchen.

    I just sit in the corner and sulk these days, Gilbert Garrett will be the death of me. Just don't let those silly Aggies beat us this year.

    LOL, Hi Phil, No I'm not a COP, but I did serve 20Y as a NAVY Corpsman attached to UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS UNITS. In doing so, I did have the occasion to assist in processing prisoners and surrendered Military Forces, as well as working with Provost Marshall on base, so I'm kinda familiar with Police procedures on a rudimentary level. I have Police officers in the family, and have many friends who are Public safety officers from the Tri State area (CT NY NJ) and all the way down the Mid Atlantic region.

    MEPD COM CODE Standardization

    Thanks Guys............ Ive been on other boards years ago where any idea from a "nube" was immediately POOh-PAH'd and kaboshed. Its really nice to not feel reticent about advancing an idea. :salute:

    MEPD COM CODE Standardization

    Gentlemen,

    Even though I'm just a RECRUIT, I would like to RESPECTFULLY propose formulating a Standardized MEPD COM CODE AKA 10-codes as used by "REAL WORLD PD's". I know we do have active duty, and retired Police Officers on our rolls , so I would most especially appreciate your inputs. I think we could have some fun with this, and also kick our professionalism and authenticity up a notch. Below is an example taken from a "wiki" link>;

    These are used by (I believe) L.A.P.D The best-known include:

    • "187" – Homicide

    Further information: 187 (slang)

    • "211" – Armed Robbery

    • "415" – Disturbance

    • "417" – Man or woman with a gun

    • "502" – Intoxicated Driver

    • "5150" – Mentally Ill Person

    We could adapt them to the MEPD "415 at the CANTINA" 502:Intoxicated SPEEDER Pilot

    417...Life form with a Blaster Etc. we can devise our own: 511...Stolen Droids and so on.

    So, if there is an interest, how about some submissions, and if the Command Structures approves, I will take this for action and formulate a code Matrix/ list. I think every RECRUIT would benefit by taking on a small project or body of research that is germane to the MEPD: :0Lighten: be it procedures; mission equipment, TD equipment etc. I think "GETTING INVOLVED" will help any RECRUIT to "Win their DEWBACK SPURS".

    ya Philly is a tough area for sure....but the reality is all sports have gotten to a new level of violence. theres fights all the time. i guess people should just be smart about it and not go into it with an attitude.

    "I went to a FIGHT, and a HOCKEY GAME broke out"...D'oh...I know XO, you dont EVEN have to say it "...That'll cost you 50 pushups in full gear RECRUIT...and THEN go muck-out the DEWBACK stalls.

    Here is the definition of STUPIDITY: THIS IS 100% TRUE

    " A friend of mine at work( A real Smart-*** to boot)went to a Philadelphia EAGLES game wearing a RAIDER NATION Jersey, and wondered why he **** nearly got his *** beat in the men's room. :blink:" Talk about a lack of "situational awareness" :wacko: Truthfully I despise the violence and poor sportsmanship at the Games. :duimomlaag:

    Violence is OUR Job..and best left to professionals like us :td:.

    This is also true< several years ago, I worked in Germany for 6 GLORIOUS months (cant Drink American Beer now) at MTU (Munich Turbo Union) in Munich. The only form of entertainment they would NOT take us to was a Soccer Game because "we cant garuantee your safety". During the WORLD CUP series, Its not unusual for Germany to deploy GSG-9, which is their Counter Terrorism Unit to maintain order.

    Chris ..If TD's could have only written the script!! My Dad and Son are HUGE fans. He looks exactly like Obi Wan in ANH. We dressed him up last Haloween to give out candy, being Italian, we called him OBI WAN CANOLLI. He's 82, and had A LOT of fun with the KIDS. He laughed his behind off at YOU-TUBE "TROOPS". He said OMG, OWEN and BERU are "White Trash" :lol: We have family and close friends who are active are retired Police Officers, so we understand COP-HUMOR. Wish he would go to a public event, but he's kinda shy.

    "Sir, uh, this speeder was reported stolen from ANCHOR HEAD 24 hrs ago, but you would'nt know anything about THAT, would you." "Oh Loook...is this your ECSTASY I found under the seat??" Rights...??? are you kidding. Sarge..call for transport...two in custody". Thanks for the welcome. ;)
