You'd have to have episode 7 begin about 30 years after episode 6 ends. Doesn't make sense.
I remember about 15 yrs ago someone had an outline of Eps 1-3 and 7-9 online somewhere. They came out on the net right about the same time they started re-releasing Eps 4-6 at the theater leading up to the release of Eps 1-3. The plot outlines for 1-3 were fairly accurate, but the plot outlines for 7-9 were more vague. They had to do with Luke and Leia mostly and I recall some mention of a clone of Luke made through his severed hand and, of course, the clone being an 'evil' Luke. I also remember some plot about yet another superweapon/deathstar in development which sounded kind of lame.

I took it is being great news. Lucas will still be in an advisory role, but Disney will control it more or less. Apparrently they share some rights to Eps 4-6 with Fox. I thought Eps 1-3 were OK in that they told the part of the story that had been missing for so long, but 'nut is right - they are not all that re-watchable. The best thing about Eps 1-3 and the Clone wars TV show is that they do get into a lot of backstory about characters from Eps 4-6. However, they have never done any back story on Han - I guess that is by design. After they do Eps 7-9, they could create a whole 'nother set of movies just on Han's back story - that would be cool. I would love to see eps 4-6 redone as well sometime down the road. They are indeed classics, but they could be improved upon, IMO.

The eye of the storm is supposed to pass within ~30 miles of my house, although we're considerably inland. They say we might get gusts up to 70mph. Looks like this will be worse than Isabel a few years back. I'm not looking forward to the surely coming power outage!

I thought Lattimore fumbled on the play where he broke his leg. They never showed a definitive replay on that and of course we did not challenge that even though we had an eternity to mull it over.

I think Pig got three snaps (ballpark) when Hunter tapped his helmet to come out. Rodgers moved to his spot and Pig was in the slot if memory serves. Your point about winded receivers in the 4th quarter is dead on. You can't expect guys with no legs to make plays. The last couple of years I wrote off lack of subs to depth, but this year it seems curious. I think it's the reason we've consistently played 40 good minutes and 20 awful ones.
I think you are on to something here- this also seemed to happen in a few big games last year. We've had many total collapses in the 3 rd quarter over the Dooley years. I'm not sure if lack of depth explains it all away. It seems like ther is a mental aspect to it as well.
