So I just watched the blu-ray version of return of the Jedi, and was appalled to see that they replaced Sebastian Shaw with Hayden Christensen as the ghost of darth vader.

I know this is old news, but I've only just learned of this. Awful.

Didn't they do that back in 2004, when they first released the DVDs?

It was an awful decision though.

lol see this is probably where the myth I heard got it's legs from

The only thing i've ever seen haunting Anstey at night are teenagers getting pissed around bonfires usually at the old quarry ruin.

As they should. There was a few caches of small crops up there at the time so you had to be a bit sharp when you went exploring. Ran into some serious dudes one afternoon but luckily one of them knew a bloke with us' brother and it was all cool. Just told us to **** off somewhere else.

Pretty ****** up when they do stuff like that, sure clean it up get the best digital transfer possible but adding effects and or/ removing things is a wank.

I even hate it when they **** with soundtracks and add scenes that were rightly left on the cutting room floor.. The Outsiders is a good example the blu-ray version sux the magoose.

The pig track behind pgh?

Ok what's the story?

We used to drink green ginger wine and go steal the heeps from the quarry!

Pgh? Maybe my memory needs refreshing. I think Pigman track was a dirt road up past the golf course, off Grenfell Rd maybe?
Come to think of it, that old mine tunnel I was mentioning to JimmyBeerCans was up behind a quarry

flicking channels got to ABC2 and their 1 hour Rage mid week program and there I copped the start of a Sean Lennon video. He got Yoko's signing talent, not John's, although you can tell John was his old man despite his Eurasian appearance. Did have a groovy bit of the video with some CGI effect of him walking down the street doing the limbo pose for a few hundred metres.

Lucas explained that Hayden is the true Anakin, as that was when Anakin ceased to be and Darth Vader was born.

The Cold War might be freezing up again. First US sends a warship to the South China sea and now Putin and co opening another front after Ukraine and Syria tensions with the west.

Russia is exploring plans to cut undersea communications cables, which carry nearly all of the world’s internet traffic, if tensions with the West escalate, defence officials have warned.

Suspicious movements of Russian submarines and surveillance ships along the routes of several cables have raised fears that the Kremlin is checking them for weak points.

Britain serves as the landing point for several large cables from the Americas, Europe and Africa. The US navy, with the aid of intelligence satellites, has been monitoring Russian attempts to chart the location of fibre-optic, ocean-bed cables — which provide key communications links for the Pentagon — for more than a month, according to American sources.

The sources confirmed that there were concerns about evidence of Russian submarines operating close to the cable routes. Since August, American intelligence satellites and maritime reconnaissance aircraft have been monitoring the movements of a Russian surveillance ship patrolling the Atlantic.
.....
The Russian ships could also be searching for secret cables laid by the US military for use in wartime, sources told the newspaper.
.....
Russia’s apparent interest in the cables could also be linked to attempts to tap the cables for intelligence-gathering purposes. Intelligence documents leaked by Edward Snowden suggest that GCHQ has tapped fibre-optic internet cables for this reason. The leaked documents also suggested that an American submarine, the USS Jimmy Carter, had tapped undersea cables for surveillance purposes.

Soon after pro-Russian troops entered Crimea last year, Ukrtelecom, the largest telecommunications company in Ukraine, said that unknown individuals had destroyed internet cables that linked the country to the peninsula.

Also, calling George Lucas a moron? Is there a group of people that hate the creator of something so succesful that they love more than Star Wars fans?

Oh, right.

Choco Williams, come on down!

Yes, Jake Lloyd is a capable actor to fill that role.

Yes, Matt Thomas is a first choice midfielder to take us forward.

Save everyone from another poo eckert level typo.

So the Adelaide Hills are teeming (relatively) with wild deer. Who knew?

Mate of mine is a member of the Sporting Shooters’ Association of Australia’s Conservation and Wildlife Management Branch (SA) and while they mostly cull feral goats in national parks he was saying that they regularly get calls to cull deer on private properties in the Adelaide Hills.
