Someday, should someone re-make the Star Wars Saga
with people who can actually act and no gaping plot holes? Not to mention actually casting actors who appear to be the right age? An eight year old Anakin having a crush on a 20 year old Princess, yuck! Not to mention, Obi-Wan apparently aged 60 years in the 20 years it took Luke to grow up!

4. Don't get me started about the re-make of ET that replaced all the guns
the government agents were holding with walkie-talkies!

6. They did? I recently saw The Abyss on cable and the tidal wave ending was completely missing.
Whuh? Guh! Slaps forehead.

11. Tidal wave? I've only ever seen the Abyss on dvd - (spoiler alert)
I remember the space ship coming up to the surface, but tidal wave?

3. I always saw that as an Old West style gun duel -
Han saw that Greedo was pulling the trigger and fired faster.

5. Anakin converting to Darth Vader
caused Obi-Wan to age prematurely.

And, the women of Naboo blossom early - she was really 8 in the first movie.

ok, i'm just throwing shit out there.

8. Yeah, let's get Peter Jackson! He can extend it by 97 hours (each movie)
He will have Luke marry Leia even if she is his sister. Andy Serkis will play both Yoda and Jar Jar.

He will also plug all plot holes by just ignoring any elements of plot in favor of extended battle scenes mixed with thirty-two hours of Annikan dangling above the lava and reflecting on his life and accomplishments with dramatic music and no dialogue before falling in.

He will, however, assemble some of the best actors in the industry, and even allow one or two of them to be good actors for a scene or two--as long as they appear in goofy special effects sequences where they grow and darken and get thundery, layered voices like in the Scooby Doo cartoons. I cannot wait to hear Obi Won, played by Bruce Spence, thunder out "Trust the force, Luke!" as all space inexplicably throbs and pulsates and shoots rainbows everywhere.

As for the relative ages of the characters, who cares? He'll just explain that different planets age differently.

Hey, it's that or James Cameron. Pick your poison.

10. Holy Carp! Michael Bay? You win!
The Death Star as a living being! Will Smith as Annikan! Jive-talking Jedi! Megan Fox as Princess Whateverthehellhernameis in a tight gown that splits to reveal white Daisy Dukes and most of her naughty bits as she leans over a land cruiser to retrieve... well, who cares what she's retrieving, we know where the camera will be aimed! Obi Wan screaming out "Luke, trust the force, damn you!"

WOW!
