I have been developing what I call my Episode III theory for sometime (most of that time in pubs) and with the help of Slim and Spokes and a few pints of Caffrey's. A movie related message board thread has today led to my unleashing it on the rest of the world. So here it is, in its full spelling error corrected glory:
There is a formative age when kids will watch the same things on TV over and over and over again. It gives them a feeling of control over an uncertain world, they think that because they know what is going to happen that they are controlling what happens. I, and many of my generation, grow up and went through this phase using the original Star Wars films. (Many kids are doing it now with Lord of the Rings, and God help them, maybe even the Matrix.) Everyone who did this with Star Wars and who has subsequently seen any of the prequels feels as if a defining part of their childhood has been cheapened, distorted, abused and manipulated. Lucas owes us compensation for the mental damage he has caused.
However, I have been trying to look on the bright side about what the third film may be like, as surely Jar Jar is going to be killed off! The only thing that could upset this theory is if the new footage Lucas is shooting to add to the original trilogy (yes, its true, there's going to be another set of special special editions) is going to include Mr Binks. At least if this is the case, none of the existing characters will interact with him, he'll just skulk around in the background saying things like "how woode" and "me'sa jar jar binks, me'sa spek lika noying lil cwunt" with everyone will ignore him. Potentially this could be even funnier than his death scene. Although the first death by anal lightsabre penetration would also make me watch it.
