Darth Maul had the higher ground and he gets cut in half.
Obiwan had the higher ground and cuts Anakin into pieces.

Ok.. Maul was arrogant... Obiwan was unarmed but the reflex and reaction alone by someone like Maul would have impaled him instantly. I thought that was a little silly.

Don't get me wrong, Obiwan is my favorite character in all the series but there's no way he should have forced "whatever" himself 50 ft in the air, did a triple summersault, force pull the saber, stop, and then slice Maul without something happening.
Correct he should of lost a hand during that fight as with keeping tradition.

So you are saying that Force users create the telekinetic energy from them and shoot it like a wave originating from the Jedi? Because if they can create Force waves at any location near them they could just force push someones back towards them. In the movies I've seen them kinda "brush off" people with a flick of the wrist force pushing them to the side, If they can Force push Forward and to the Side then I think they can force push to the back as well.
I'm speculating because I've never actually been able to use the force or talk with someone who could.

Just finished watching episodes I-III with the kids. We've been watching them each Friday night and I have to say i'm looking forward to seeing IV-VI again. I had taken a pretty long hiatus thanks to Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter giving me a much more entertainment and less frustration than the more recent Star Wars prequels and re-releases, re-masterings, whatever.

However, i've gotten caught up in some of the hype so we've been watching them again, plus my kids have never really watched them in their entirety. What I have found up to this point in regards to episodes I-III, I found that I despised the scenes that I hated far more than I remember. The dialogue at moments (especially the lover scenes) were just absolutely dreadful. The movies could have improved an entire grade with some better writing. I will say Ewan McGregor was still the best part of the movie. He's really all they got right with the exception of the space and battles scenes. The cast is just significantly weaker. There was a time when I would have considered myself a fanboy but now I remember when they fell so far in my book. My kids enjoyed the prequels though and i'm curious to see their reactions to the original releases. Interesting to see it from a new perspective. I probably watched Star Wars at the same age as my oldest. I'm really hoping that these new episodes breath some refreshing life into the franchise. It's sad that it was tarnished so badly from a child of the 80's perspective but they have a chance to restore a significant piece of our pop culture.

Someone please give us a new trailer!

Apparently Disney will release the original theatrical cuts.
As far as I know that was a hoax. That rumor has been around a while, and if I remember correctly, Disney doesn't hold the distribution rights to the originals. I sure wish they did though.

They're on the SE DVD's as a bonus, at least the ones I have from when those first came out. They look like shit on a modern HDTV though. As far as I know there is no remastered version of them in DVD format.

Apparently those are from the laser discs, which have been coveted as the closest source to the original cuts, but don't even have dolby surround.

As far as it being a "hoax" its being pretty widely reported after this:

Although its still not official confirmed Disney sourced, but seems like there might be something behind the rumors.

Well that would be great news. I was basing my comment on the news from months ago. Wonder how they are getting around the Fox thing?

I read somewhere that some guy took the time to remaster them himself and put them out illegally to torrent

Most definitely. There are fans like me out there, who haven't bought any of the DVD's or Blu-Ray's since 2006, when they issued DVD's with bonus material of the original theatrical release taken from a copy of the laser discs. It's a shitty copy but at least it's the theatrical release and has none of the shitty Lucas added garbage.
