The beginning of the Eopie fart should of not been edited from the final film!

Most people that own the Episode I dvd have most likely seen the deleted or extended scenes on the second disk. For the extended podrace introduction scene, we are treated to more delightful noises and some extra footage from the Eopie fart! Now as a young person at the cinema when I first saw it I laughed myself silly! I cannot for the life of me understand the reason for editing the beginning of the fart and I would like to start a petition for George Lucas to reinsert that footage when his special editions come along. I'm sure most people agree with me on this important issue!

 

Am I missing something? It is in the film.

 

Some of it was edited Grilled-Sarlacc from the final film. Never seen you post around in this forum for awhile. I take it you agree with me Strilo judging from your face. I agree it was immature to edit the beginning of it.

 

No I am in utter disagreement with this. The entire thing needs to be expunged from Star Wars. It sickened me when I saw the deleted scene and disovered that the god-awful fart was once LONGER. Disgusting.

I agree it is disgusting and should be removed!

This is the one thing I dislike about SW.
If you ask me Lucas should remove the whole fart thing.

I found it funny too but not in place with the tone of SW.

 

I heard that Lucas wanted JarJar to fart first, but he didn't have the time or money to shoot it on the day. However he intends to correct this in a future Special Edition.
I mean otherwise the Eopie just comes across as cold-blooded, right?

Good one, Jedi_Learner

What you laughing at solojones? I am deadly serious about this issue. When and if I have children, I shall introduce them to the wonders of Star Wars and I shall show them the Eopie Fart as it should of been! Muwahahahahaha!

 

eopie farted first

 

I found the Eopie fart funny in a deleted scene sort of way, but I'd be mad if they actually added the whole fart back into the movie. I'd rather the whole thing go to the delete scene.

The eopie fart was funny. The uncut eopie fart was spectacularly funny.

And I was 23 when I saw TPM opening day.

 

This is wonderful! I didn't think there were any eopie fart admirers out there. I mean, I don't despise the thing, but I'm not laughing out loud at it, if you know what I mean.
Go Learner!

 

*Farts in the general direction of strilo for being tight and boring*

 

Lucas somehow managed to do a fart gag that ISN'T funny. Fart gags are the easiest thing in the world, but somehow he cocked it up.
Why couldn't he have let some other character have the fart gag - QG for instance, or Obi Wan, it would have humanised them a bit. Or Amidala, God knows she needs some character. If she'd let one go in the Galactic Senate I'm sure we'd have all felt a sense of empathy with the poor girl.

I agree. I don't mind humor but fart jokes don't belong in Star Wars. There are other ways of making good jokes in Star Wars. Fart jokes are fine and dandy for South Park or the Simpsons but not Star Wars. It was bad enough when Jar Jar stepped in the poodoo, we didn't need anymore "potty" humor.

 

See the thing about fart jokes is... they need to be funny! This one is not remotely funny in either form. I also agree that they don't really fit in with Star Wars. But then I also think Jar Jar stepping in poop and the burp jokes in Jedi are lame too.

 

The original fart was bad enough. The extended one was painful to watch.

 

Gezvader's right. The eopie farting first makes the animal seem cold-blooded. I heard in an earlier draft of TPM Lucas had Jar-Jar farting first, and then the Eopie farted in retaliation. I personally think that would have been better for Jar-Jar's character (giving him a darker edge earlier on). Lucas made a potentially dramatic farting-stand off into a lame, cliched farting scene IMO.

 

Beginning? End? Hearing a FART in a Star Wars movie was BAD ENOUGH. The fact that someone actually noticed it being LONGER is a bit disconcerting. That coupled with Jar Jar stepping in Doo Doo....ugh.

Tatooine- home of Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, and all SW poop jokes.

 

Home of ALL bodily function jokes in SW. BOTH burp jokes in ROTJ were on Tatooine.

 

The burp in ROTJ is lame, no doubt. But the stepping in crap and busting wind (in the span of 20 minutes no less!) is the worst one-two punch in SW history.
