“Why not? It’s fun. And Darth Maul makes one scary witch!”

We should never have trusted the creators of It’s a Small World with the care of Star Wars.
What did anyone think would happen?

lol, exactly. So far they haven’t done too much to ruin Star Wars, but I’m not counting on them doing something as ghastly as this story.

That would be a movie worth waiting for :) Darth Vader would surely have a voice change ;)

I’m sure it would be the most popular movie or mini-series of the year! I disagree, though – Darth Vader’s voice would be perfect. “There is good within you, I can feel it.” “(huff, puff) You are wrong (huff, puff). That is a possibility that was closed long ago (huff, puff). I have no heart (huff, puff). Without a heart, I am owned by the Dark Side (huff, puff).” lol. If I keep going, I may end up writing the entire script ;)

Dear Trent,
Gotta love those characterizations for the remake. Well…most of them. Jar Jar Binks is the deal breaker for me. ;) Perhaps I’ll get around to rereading the books one day.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Obi Wan is obviously the Wizard and Liea is Glinda the Good, but the lion is harder (I think Chewbacca is too cliched to work… Perhaps C3PO?). Jar Jar really is a coward, but I agree, he almost killed the prequels.

Use an Ewok for the lion. That would be cute!

Actually, an Ewok might work there, though I was thinking the Ewoks would be the inhabitants of Munchkin Land ;)

I’m just waiting for it. Can’t be worse than the original Star Wars Christmas special from the 70s ;) Disney has been really exploiting Star Wars, but so far nothing too bad, so let’s just hope they don’t push it this far…
