Butchered it? Hardly.<P>PJ obviously loved the books, but while making the movie, he had to keep other things in mind as well <P>- keeping the audience interested<BR>- making a profit<BR>- not confusing people<P>Sure, he made some changes, but to my mind, it makes the movie all the more interesting to go and see. In any case, what difference would it make if we wrote a letter to PJ now? The movies have been made.<P>As for the 'mistakes' with arms etc. Every movie has them. It really is impossible to edit every single one of them out, and it doesn't make it a bad film anyway.<P>And if you think that's bad, what about the Bakshi cartoon?<P>We ought to be content with what we have. And if you consider it to be that bad, make your own version when you're older.<P>~Varda
