A great job on this video re-mix of sorts... Def a bit screwed up so you have been warned

Has anyone here seen the preview of Star Wars Force Unleashed (SWFU)? The game looks pretty cool, but I didn't get the same goosebumps I got from any of the movie. Infact, I hadn't seen any of the original trilogy in 5 years when I was 18. No no, I didn't get a life. It is like the original magic of the movies was gone. Vanished beyond comprehension. It wasn't till late last week when I watched a preview for the SWFU I thought to try watching the original movies.

I should explain in my early teen years I was a huge Star Wars Fan, collecting the toys and patiently waiting in line for the next movies. Only thing was as more movies came out and Cartoon shows I slowly stepped away from the Saga.

So anyways I contacted my dad who owns the DVD's of the original trilogy and asked to borrow them to watch. So I started off with "A New Hope" and worked my way too "Return of the Jedi". After completing them I can honestly say The Saga is dead. They have been butchered! Though the original three are far superior movies and great in their own way. They have lost the magic that had captivated me as a youth. While watching them all you can think of is wait that isn't what Qui Gon Jin said in "Phantom Menance". Wait Obi Wan was still being called Obi Wan after Luke was born. Also, the gap in technology also ruins it, I like the future'ish image of the original three better than the new trilogy. Characters back stories are ruined, take Boba Fett who I was a huge fan of but stopped paying attention to him after "Attack of the Clones". What happened with him was the original appeal of Fett was his mystery. A man in a dark helmet who single handed captured Han Solo. Then when "Attack of the Clones" came out, we learnt everything about him. There was no more mystery around him, his magic was dead they even managed to show his face because he is a clone of his father Jango Fett.

I still don't know if I will get SWFU though Star wars gaming was my first ever experience with on-line gaming, "Star Wars Dark Force 2 : Jedi Knight". It was my first ever game I played serious online, first time I was ever in a online guild for the game. I had many great memories of playing the game with friends.

Is the Magic of Star Wars dead? well for me all I can say is yes. The magic is dead the force is dead. George Lucas killed his own masterpiece by getting greedy. For shame Mr. Lucas for shame....

Yesterday I was playing Rock Band when my DVD drive on my 360 started making noise... like a really loud grinding noise, being concerned I turned it off. The noise got really loud and my drive open up, scratching the game. Now it won't run any games at all. Until I fix this problem my 360 is dead. At least I still have my HD intact so I can transfer everything over onto my new console.
