NERD ALERT!! All 6 Star Wars movies on back-to-back-to-back

I preferred the Rocky marathon on Spike.

 

Had to be done.

 

Thanks, I''ll send the cleaning bill to SportsJournalists.com

 

Just wait until some marketing wizard decides to run all 10 Star Trek movies back-to-back-to-back. Beat me up, Scotty.

 

Mucas says on the commentary something to the effect that Anakin fell from grace as a youngster. That Anakin was restored when Vader was redeemed and killed the Emperor.

That's the explanation. Can't say I care either way. Didn't take away from it for me.

As for the end celebrations, I think a lot of stuff in the special editions was just the effects people testing out stuff, seeing what they could do, having some fun with the possibilities. I liked the glimpse of Coruscant (and it would have been even better with the Naboo thing that's on the DVD, in the original special edition; give Mucas a chance to re-think Mr. Binks and friends before filming). I liked the glimpses of the celebration elsewhere.

JarJar Binks tangent: He was clearly an experiment. A moment of "can we do this, and just in case we can't, better make him stupid non-essential to the plot." As for effects (raise your hands, Gollum fans), Mr. Binks was a major breakthrough. It's a tribute to how well ILM did with him that people focus more on how annoying he is, rather than saying he just didn't look right.
