so, um, theory that Jar Jar was actually the secret Sith Lord...until Lucas chickened out with the reveal:

Talk about TLDR.
The Despecialized Edition
(I'm sure most people already know about this)
Watch the Original Star Wars Trilogy As It Was Before George Lucas Screwed It Up
But, with the help of many dedicated fans and video editors, an originaltrilogy.com forum user named Harmy decided to recreate the original, unaltered trilogy in high definition.
The Despecialized Edition is a “fan preservation”, aiming not to create a new version of the movie, but to restore the original trilogy exactly as it was in the 70s and 80s—little flaws and all. To recreate the original 1977 version of A New Hope, for example, he used clips from:
The 2011 Blu-Ray edition
An HDTV broadcast of the 2004 Special Edition DVD
A low quality version of the original trilogy from the special features of the 2006 DVD, affectionately called George’s Original Unaltered Trilogy (or the “GOUT”)
Various scans of 70mm and 35mm film prints and still images from the films
With the help of many other originaltrilogy.com members, Harmy took bits and pieces of the above sources and edited them together with the Blu-Ray footage to recreate the theatrical version of the movie—in 720p HD. Watch the video above to see how it was put together—it really is fascinating.
Darn, and I've been here watching them in SD on dailymotion
I actually still have it on laserdisc, but the discs (and the player) have been in the garage since the last time I moved.
Massive star wars spoiler.
Spoiler:
FUCKING HILARIOUS
Anyway, speaking of spoilers, TFA is only hours away from public consideration. Our weird-speaking friends in New Zealand will be able to watch it in about two hours, and they'll be able to tell us if the new Stormtroopers can actually shoot or whether Han shot Luke's dad first.
As such, I declare this thread to be a full spoiler zone from this post on.
So I suggest you don't come back unless you've seen the film. If you want a no-spoiler TFA discussion, well, there are other places for that and there's probably some other people that might care about it. I don't!
Yes. Especially since I probably wont see it for a long while.
Spoil it for me so I don't have to go see it.
