Did you see the new STAR WARS trailer?
Spoiler Alert:  The Emperor survived the below event...as did a very large portion of the Death Star when it was completely destroyed.

Star Wars: Unmolested

Perfect word for what George Lucas has done...molested.
Had a Star Wars marathon that was playing on the tv on in the background last weekend and those horrid additional/injected/enhanced/terrible-looking/insulting/stupid scenes stood out in such a painful manner.  Especially that Jabba's Lair dance number.  Christ.

Well, it brought back all the pain (I'll be complaining about this until I die).  And then I saw the below article...  and I pray it's true.  And I pray this somehow leads to a release of the original as-I-saw-it-in-the-theater STAR WARS. 

And after watching episode IV, V, and VI again, I feel I can conclude definitively and finally that Chewbacca is a living entity.  A REAL animal humanoid.  And not some guy in a costume.

Nothing But Star Wars

With this new batch of Star Wars movies better come a re-release of the original Star Wars that I saw in the theaters.  I was watching this video below of the changes that were made over the years and I realized I barely remember the pure original unaltered Star Wars (beings George Lucas blocked digital versions of the original three to ever be distributed).

Yoda Stew

You will need:

• 3 pounds lean lamb or other meat
• Salt and pepper, as desired
• 6 tablespoons oil
• 6 cups parsley
• 3 cups onions
• 1 tablespoon garlic
• 2 teaspoons coriander
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 tablespoons ginger root
• 1 teaspoon hot green or red chilies
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 3 pounds fresh spinach

Instructions:

1. Slice lamb (or other meat) into cubes about one-inch thick.
2. As desired, season the meat with salt and pepper.
3. Add 3 tablespoons oil to a fry pan along with the seasoned lamb.
4. Stir over medium-low heat until meat has browned, and then remove from heat.
5. Meanwhile, chop parsley, onions, garlic, ginger root, and chilies finely.
6. Add chopped ingredients except for ginger root and chilies to a Dutch oven along with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil.
7. Heat and mix the ingredients until the onions have wilted.

10. Bring to a boil, then cover and allow to simmer until lamb is tender (about 2 hours).
11. Five minutes before 2 hours is up, rinse spinach and place in a pot of boiling water until wilted (about 5 minutes).
12. Drain, chop, and finally mix spinach into the Dutch oven, allowing it to lend its flavor to the stew (about 5 minutes).
13. Serve over white rice, and feel the force flow through you.

Please Be True

"Our sources indicate that the project has been under way for quite some time, but it's been challenging because of some damage to the original negatives they are utilizing," states the report. "The goal is to release A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of Jedi in their complete, unaltered, original form without the redone special edition SFX."

A George Lucas dummy should be under the table (you can read into that as much as you like).

I bet Frankenstein always blows out the table candles in restaurants.

Arboreal Warrior

Wookiees are devoted, loyal friends and are very distrustful of strangers. Life debt is sacred to Wookiees. Despite a fearsome appearance and temperamental disposition, Wookiees are shown to be very intelligent and are very adept at handling advanced technology.
