I was going to do this on Twitter but decided it would take just a bit more room.

A conversation with my brother tonight spawned this, hell yeah real life to Internet! 

The original trilogy is an epic piece of work right? I don't think many would disagree with me there. It had it all, the acting (minus Luke - bah-humbug Mark Hamhill), set design, story, lore, action, laughs and pew pewing spaceships. 

If only we saw the patterns occurring starting with Return of the Jedi. If we saw this one pattern, maybe we could have stopped old Georgie boy but no - we were blinded by the "holy crap I love my Star Wars!!!!!! - mom, can I get this?" (insert picture of boy holding Darth action figure). What is the pattern?

Fucking, made up little creatures. 

Yes from the beginning there was the wookie (who you should always let win), the sand people, the droid peddlers (don't trust those doods), the droids themselves and a trash monster. Well, actually shit - it was there from the start. 

By the time Star Wars reached the third film in 1983 with Return of the Jedi the universe was filled with all kinds of crazy dumbass little monsters- er, creatures. I always hated the Ewoks by the way. Just annoying as hell and for such small creatures why the hell would they live so high up? It's like those guys who drive really big trucks - yeah. 

Then the special edition of Star Wars came out and Lucas added a very small scene into the first movie when you see Mos Eisley. It's like 2 seconds long but shows a small droid like creature batting at some nuisance that was a little flying creature. What popped into his head that made him think, "hey more little funny creatures will be a nice touch here?". 

You should have left Star Wars alone Lucas. It didn't need a touch up. Fuck CGI. The scenes of the Death Star in the first movie were perfect (made out of model battleship parts) and the black lines around the X-wings and AT-AT's in Empire were just fine (non-use of a green screen). 

George Lucas has an obession with these things and I guess thats ok right? I mean, we looked past it for a lot of years before coming to a conclusion that Star Wars just may be taken a little less seriously. Obviously I don't take any of the new ones seriously. Maybe that one scene near the end of Episode III... 

I wonder what he'll do with the 3-D versions. How will he squeeze more little creatures into them?
