Yes, exactly. This is the part that really gets me. Star Wars in its original format is, as you said, *important*.

It wasn't just a breakthrough film -- it was one of *the* breakthrough films. Lucas is denying himself his own place in history.

What he achieved through sweat, brilliance and vision -- he replaced with common, everyday CG that doesn't even look very good. His scenes are now cluttered, disjointed and look out of place with the rest of the film.

He took film history and replaced it with yet another season's standard fare. One would think that Lucas' enormous ego would encourage a re-release of the originals, not prevent it.

Give it a break. How on Earth did you not get modded, Troll? Are you saying that the developers who made YouTube (Flash based), Google Analytics (Flash based) and 99% of games which have taken the web by storm (Flash based), just don't know how to write "correct" code?

Every time somebody sends me a link of something supposedly "impressive" in HTML5, it looks weaker than old FutureSplash 1.0 stuff.

Comment: This is not swarm behavior at all (Score 1) 121

Swarm behavior requires a mutual awareness between devices. This is simply a remote control which affects a large number of units. The problem with this approach is that it only works initially, but random differences in movement become magnified over time. Since each bot movement includes a random margin of error (think: drunkard's walk) the "swarm" will dissipate over time and show less cohesion. In true swarm behavior, each individual actor (bot, in this case) is aware of the greater swarm.

Be free and open and breezy! Enjoy! Things won't get any better so get used to it.
