jedi burger is totally scarier

giant jedi mouth w/mayo teeth & cheesy tongue

For the Jedi it is time to eat as well. Eat, eat. Hot. Good food, hm? Good, hmm?

Also you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as the burger is slowly digested in your stomach over a thousand years.

what are those chunks on the top of the jedi burger?

Garlic or brie maybe?

either sounds disgusting

Some websites claim marshmallows. I'm going to go for brie.

Are those burgers in 3D?

DARK VADOR

how do you make a black bun like that?? what's in it?

looks like a couple of patties, some salad and cheese

Midichlorians. Evil ones.

Lucas actually comes across ok in this article from the BBC about his new film Red Tails... right up until the very last line.

Could have been worse, I was figuring it was going to say "Next up will be his Jar-Jar Binks biopic."

In the last decade and a half, Lucas has given “Star Wars” several “final” cuts. For the 1997 special edition, he made Greedo, a green-skinned alien, fire his blaster at Han Solo because Han’s murdering Greedo in cold blood — as the 1977 version had it — struck him as a violation of his own naïve style. For the new Blu-ray version of “Return of the Jedi,” Lucas added Darth Vader shouting, “Nooo!” as he seizes the evil emperor in the movie’s climactic scene. Lucas made the Ewoks blink. And so forth.

When fanboys wailed, Lucas did not just hear the scream of young Jedis; he heard something like the voice of the studio. The dumb, uncomprehending voice in his Socratic dialogues — a voice telling him how to make a blockbuster. “On the Internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie,” Lucas says, referring to fans who, like the dreaded studios, have done their own forcible re-edits. “I’m saying: ‘Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.’ ”

Lucas seized control of his movies from the studios only to discover that the fanboys could still give him script notes. “Why would I make any more,” Lucas says of the “Star Wars” movies, “when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?”

How you like that, Mr. Hitler

“Once this is finished, he’s done everything he’s ever wanted to do,” says Rick McCallum, who has been producing Lucas’s films for more than 20 years. “He will have completed his task as a man and a filmmaker.”

i imagine this quote slowly rising in pitch and intensity

lol

Maybe then he can go back and add flying cars to American Graffiti.

looking forward to his personal art films tbf

hopefully all slow-mo exploding porpoises

So - basically, guys, we made a difference. All those terrible crimes did not go unpunished.

Note, though, that he hasn't defintively stated whether or not he will continue to work in the medium of building meter data.

Then it's all been for nothing IMO.

now you can turn yr attention to the post-Jackie Brown crimes of Tarantino

yeah that's just what we're gonna do

good

in the re-release, Nice Guy Eddie shot first

digitally subbing jar jar binks for tarantino's cameos would be great, though...

i really shouldn't make a 'meesa garage say dead gungan storage' joke, should i

But on the brighter side -- _Star Wars Uncut_ is finally out in a clean straight-through version:

Why would I make any more,” Lucas says of the “Star Wars” movies, “when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?”

I like how he's acting like he is taking all of his toys and going home when everyone is just happy and relieved.

"Lucas, who is 67 and still in possession of the full pompadour"

I hope that "Uncut" inadvertently becomes the definitive version in everyone's minds, just to spite Lucas. I'm just sort of skipping through it randomly and my favorite so far is the Yellow Submarine-looking segment.

Love that star wars uncut. Watched it all the way through yesterday. So much fun seeing the different ways people have gone about tackling their 15sec segments.

I did the same. It was great! The common denominator is foil.

Mr Veg showed me some of it, it's really cool!

it's basically impossible to get your hands on a '77 release version of Star Wars now, right?

Watched a few minutes of Uncut -- cute, but points off for using that "Episode IV" shit in the crawl.

well you're not going to like that they remade the extended version either
