Well the Star Wars movies are good at making good trailers but failing to deliver on the awesomeness seen in said trailers. I actually think that this one will be good. They just have to be careful because this is THE episode to tie the entire story together, so if they mess it up, its all over.

Wow... I had no idea how many irrational JO fanboys there are out there. Anybody who has a fully working brain and has played both would never hold JO anywhere near the level of JK.
Jedi Outcast was mad fun. You can't beat the shiny, black, reflective floor of an Imperial docking bay replete with Stormtroopers to slice up or dark Jedi to duel. However, I have to give the nod to Dark Forces II. Gigantic levels, great surround sound, awesome lightsaber fights, wonderful music, and like, yeah. It's <i>all</i> good.

The level design in Jedi Outcast <i>hurt</i>. It was physically painful to play through those awful levels, especially the first few (hint to Raven: if you can't make the "first person shooting" part of your first person shooter fun, don't dedicate the first third of your game to it).
The plot was bad, even compared to Jedi Academy's and <i>especially</i> compared to that of JK and Kyle was a mere shadow of what he once was (including the voice acting).
I'm not saying it wasn't an overall good game, because it was, but to suggest that it was anywhere near as good as JK is to suggest the ridiculous.
All that, and you've obviously never played JKMP. Canyon Oasis will <i>never</i> die.

- Its on the Xbox... which is a console

"Rape the classics?" What's your definition of rape, buddy? Go back and correct the color balance? Add better special effects?

If you look at the quote in my post, it was talking about how episode 3 has to, story wise, pull all the episodes together. So one can assume I'm responding to that.
Or, you can start off by mentioning colour correction and special effects which have little to no impact on the story itself!
I had no issue with them correction colour balance, nor did I have an issue with them prettying up the special effects. Hey, some of them were even quite nice. I mean, Cloud city being an actual city in the clouds instead of some boring white corridors was kinda nice. The poorly done 3D jabba and Han jumping over his tail.. Its questionable.
Adding scenes he ment to put in, meh. Not that bad. Had some upsides and some downsides. I wasn't a huge fan of Greedo shooting first, nor was the Han Solo and jabba scene in the first one really nessicary. I mean, sure, he planned it, but by putting it back in he really detracted from Hans character. Every character in those movies had something sorta left out at the beginning. The thing left out for Han was the reason why he had a bounty on his head. What would the movies be like had they told you that Darth Vader was Lukes father and Leia was his sister all in the first movie? It would detract from their character
Changing plot points because he contradicted stuff later on and couldn't just take it like a man and change the new project to fit with the old one? That was just plain wrong. Changing dialouge, plot points, even the colour of a characters eyes.
I don't believe Tolkin had to go back and rewrite The Hobbit because he contradicted something in it while writing LOTR.

Or, you can start off by mentioning colour correction and special effects which have little to no impact on the story itself!
I had no issue with them correction colour balance, nor did I have an issue with them prettying up the special effects. Hey, some of them were even quite nice. I mean, Cloud city being an actual city in the clouds instead of some boring white corridors was kinda nice. The poorly done 3D jabba and Han jumping over his tail.. Its questionable.
Adding scenes he ment to put in, meh. Not that bad. Had some upsides and some downsides. I wasn't a huge fan of Greedo shooting first, nor was the Han Solo and jabba scene in the first one really nessicary. I mean, sure, he planned it, but by putting it back in he really detracted from Hans character. Every character in those movies had something sorta left out at the beginning. The thing left out for Han was the reason why he had a bounty on his head.
What would the movies be like had they told you that Darth Vader was Lukes father and Leia was his sister all in the first movie? It would detract from their character
Changing plot points because he contradicted stuff later on and couldn't just take it like a man and change the new project to fit with the old one?
That was just plain wrong.
Changing dialouge, plot points, even the colour of a characters eyes.
I don't believe Tolkin had to go back and rewrite The Hobbit because he contradicted something in it while writing LOTR.

They left out Han's reason for having a bounty on his head? Greedo's dialogue is something like "Jabba doesn't take kindly to people who drop their shipments at the first sign of Imperial Cruisers." I don't think it gets more explicit than that; Han dumped Jabbas cargo because he was about to be boarded. It's even explained <i>further</i> when Han accepts the deal from Obi-Wan right before then; he talks to Chewie about how he'll be able to pay off Jabba the Hutt.

I don't see what Lucas contradicted. All the movies make sense. Maybe point out exactly what you're thinking of and I can elaborate.
