Don't believe me? PROOF!

WRONG! The reason why Blu-ray.com has it alphabetized that way is because they're using simple ASCII code order. But look in a proper library catalog and '12 Monkeys' will be indexed under "Twelve".

Ugh. At least suggest a good Director instead of that guy. Only thing good he's done is Memento. And that's more due to his brother.

The show definitely had its moments. The introduction of General Grievous as a character was much better than RotS, in my opinion. He was actually a scary villian in the cartoon.

So there should be one more season after 4 ends unless they run this season long to make up the 100 episodes.

They said they wanna do at least 100 eps.

At 22 eps a season that will be at least 5 seasons.

Just some food for thought - the complete saga is still amazon's #1 blu-ray and #2 movie behind Bridesmaids.

Seems overall people are very happy with the set.

That was also one of the other reassons I listed yesterday. But I'll be damned if I trailing all the way back to find it lol I've mad over 100 posts since then.

But everyone has their own opinion on that scene, as it's never made blatently obvious who she referes too.

Some other options that also exist are:

Queen Breha also served as the Minister of Education and possibly died in the destruction of Alderaan in 0 BBY based on Leia's recollections of "mother" some years later.

Conversely, there is some evidence to suggest she may have died or divorced her husband when Leia was a child, as Leia spoke of being raised by Bail Organa's three sisters (Tia, Rouge, and Celly, whom she described as "three redoubtable dowagers" who "made her girlhood an intermittent burden"), rather than by any wife of Bail Organa.

As refferenced in the book Children of the Jedi.

I think it's good that people can make their own mind up on what was meant. Do people complain that we don't know what happened at the end of Cloverfield

Actually to most people all of his output has been stellar, hence the good reviews, big box offices, big stars attached and licensed intellectual properties.

Not every movie can be the Citizen Kane that "The Phantom Menace" is, and not every actor can show the range of emotions of "Jar Jar Binks", but Guy Pearce, Al Pacino, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, David Bowie are all fairly talented in their own right. I don't mean like Ahmed Best kind of talent, but talent nonetheless.

Duke Nukem Forever was #1 also in gaming. I don't think the blu sucks (that game does ), just not a must buy. I put that just to show that rankings means nothing. Rankings don't tell you if they're disappointed (which is not grounds for a return), if it's been resold or whether they just buy for the simply fact It's Star effin Wars.

Anybody else have any thoughts?

A perfect OT, to me, would be:

None of the extended scenes in the OT. No additions. No Jabba in ANH, no Jedi Rocks (this is by far the change I hate the most, if I could only pick one thing to revert it would be this), no Hayden in Jedi, no NOOOOOO!, no new Ewok song, Greedo doesn't shoot.

They can keep all the added FX shots, even the dewbacks and expanded Mos Eisley approach, and especially all the new explosions, improved speeders, improved SFX shots and improved sounds. I can even live with the new Krayt call, R2 behind the rocks, whatever...

Basically no additional scenes, just "fixes" that enhance already existing scenes, and I am OKAY with the dewbacks and some of the other CGI junk, but I could easily live without it too. Ideally, the OT with enhanced FX shots so the speeders and explosions don't look cheesy, and that's perfect.

I like to think that she is remembering Breha Organa who she belived to be her real mother up until Luke reveals the truth a few lines later. And that Breha is the one who died when she was very young.

After all, if it was known she wasn't offspring of Queen Breha Organa I don't think she would have been aloud to be a Princess.

I just like play along with the story and do a little imaginating. Sometimes it's better than picking apart the errors

(although I enjoy that too!)

Oh yeah absolutely, but until actually going through the lines in my head before, when Luke asks if Leia remembers her "REAL" mother and Leia doesn't flinch, I came to a realization that maybe she'd been told she was in fact adopted at some point. Luke obviously put two and two together, since he already knew she was his sister and that whomever SHE thinks is her mother is obviously not correct.

Additionally, I wouldn't think a Princess would still technically be a Princess if not only her Kingdom but her whole freaking PLANET was reduced to an asteroid field!!

I'm out of it for a little while and everyone gets delusions of grandeur.

That's what all of us would like, but for many reasons - first and foremost because of the personality of George Lucas - it's NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Best to give up now, get on with life and enjoy these films as they are now.

I don't like the changes any more than the rest of you, but they're permanent and at the end of the day amount to a few minutes from 12+ hours of film.

Everyone who is boycotting this release because of the changes is really missing out. The films look and sound better than they've ever sounded and the extras they've included, especially the "Collection" prop stuff, make them well worth the $90 price tag.

And it's labled first look because it's the first look we had of Fett as it was shown before Empire came out.

There for, its listing is The Collection > Boba Fett > First look. It was known about before the release too

If it's not hidden, I guess it's not an Easter Egg. The description provided by IGN is to watch the Interview first, and from there go through the menus - as if you have to be watching the Overview to see the Easter Egg. Hence my assumption. I'm about to pop in the disc and check it out for myself though.

If only you would not have included Pacino on that list...oh well!

Yeah I mean The Godfather I and II, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, Scarface, Heat, The Insider, Donny Brasco, Scarface... when has Pacino ever been a good actor, right?
