Star Wars talk
let's make Alex wet.
So Revenge of the Sith looks pretty good. I wasn't remotely interested in seeing the first 2 but this one looks alright. I want to see Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader. That looks compelling.
In the thread that was incidentally also dedicated to and created by Alex, someone, I think it was Parkaboy - because why not? - said that the word "ewok" was never said in Return of the Jedi. Interesting factoid. They had to call the action figures and stuffed animals something besides "Endorian Bear-like Chipmunks."
The word Ewok was not spoken in Return of the Jedi, but I believe Wilford Brimley used it in "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor".
While looking up Battle For Endor to make sure Oatmeal Gut played "Noa" I stumbled across this humble explaination of the Ewok movies Chronology. I thought the writer was either damn clever in his mocking of the issue or unimaginably geeky (and I can imagine a lot.)
"This movie HAS to take place before ROTJ because during this time Logray still served as the medicine man for Bright Tree Village. He took on various apprentices, including Wicket (but he couldn't cut it as a wizard so he quit) and Teebo.
Apparently Logray began to stray towards the dark arts of magic, and he began doing strange expirments and enchantments. Chief Chirpa banned Logray shortly before the Battle of Endor, if I recall. Paploo then became the village's medicine man. In ROTJ, Paploo is the medicine man. Speaking or mentioning "Logray" soon became outlawed."
There you have it.
"Kiaya Keesh!!!"
I've never had someone insist that they were the force. Have you?
Yeah.
I found STAR WARS to be quite boring. It just never really appealed to me. Though Han Solo and the princess bitch slapping eachother while hot for eachother was cool.
I've nevet seen it!

I have never seen an entire Star Wars movie.
I have no idea what an Ewok is.
It souds like wookie. I had a guinea pig named Chewie once, but it had nothing to do with Star Wars.
I have, however, seen Spaceballs, so I think that gives me a right to say I know something about Star Wars.
I've also read the King Arthur stuff and my lit teacher once told me that the sword in the stone and all that was the basis for Star Wars.
I get The Force confused with The Spice... and the Schwartz.
I love the trilogy. Princess Leia was always a whiny bitch that never deserved Sexy Solo though. I wish Jabba would've just crushed her to death with his fat fists when he had the chance.
I really didn't like Episode I or 2 but all the same, I'll be queueing along with all those losers dressed in Chewbacca costumes on opening night.
i just want to clarify my earlier comment: i like girls who aren't afraid to be dorks, and what's more dorky than star wars*?
(*NOTE: The answer is Star Trek)
shit, does anyone remember that amazing poster they had for Episode 1? Of young Anakin in the Tatooine desert, and behind him's a rock with the shadow of Vader? Too cool.

Ooh! Ooh!
I remember now!
A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy...
Oh my my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
And he can use the Force, they say
Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I knew he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy
We started singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
They interview the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here"
"Just stick it in your pointy ear"
"I still will teach this boy"
He was singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gunguns died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy
And I was singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Thanks Mr. Brown.
Someone agrees with me. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on the planet who doesn't like it. In fact, I can't stand Star Wars. The original trilogy, I can't watch any of them without falling asleep or turning it off after 20 minutes.
And Attack of the Clones was the worst experience I ever had in a theater. The whole thing felt like a giant toy commerical mixed with a special-effects demo reel. A good demo, but still...
I wanted to walk out SO BAD, and it would have been the only time in my life I did so, but my friend was driving and he refused to leave.
It was atrocious. George Lucas is a terrible director, and I just don't see the appeal of what he does.
"The true New Yorker secretly believes that people living anywhere else have to be, in some sense, kidding." — John Updike
i love the original three, the second two sucked balls. lucas's problem is that he got away from a character driven story into a big dick competition using special effects. he must've forgot that the first star wars pushed the boundaries of special effects AND had a good story with good dialogue and interesting characters and et cetera et cetera et cetera.

You're wrong.

This thread belongs in the Movies forum. Though it would be better if it was deleted since Weird Al was quoted.
It's not easy having a good time.
Even smiling makes my face ache.
Lately, with the buildup to [i]Revenge of the Sith[/i], my band practices have been ending with lengthy discussions of how Lucas fucked up the prequels and detailed ways of how they could have been better. That’s geek for you.
CF
PS - Cruisin' Mos Espa in my Delorian
War's over I'm a peacetime madalorian
My story has stumped Star Wars historians
Deep in debate buffet plate at Bennigan’s
Rhyme renegade sure to penetrate
First and second defense I won't hesitate
Got a job to do Darth's the guy that delegates
Got something against Skywalker someone he really hates
I don't give a fuck, I'm after Solo
For all I care he could be hiding at Yoda's dojo
Got make the money credit's no good
When the Jawas run the shop in your neighborhood
Think you can cook I got a grappling hook
Let's make this quick cuz I'm really booked
I'm a devious degenerate, defender of the devil
Shut down all the trash compactor's on the detention level
My backpack's got jets
I'm Boba the Fett
I bounty hunt for Jabba Hutt
to finance my vette
I chill in deep space,
a mask is over my face
I deliver the prize but I still narrow my eyes
cuz my time I don't like to waste.
Get down
I'm a question wrapped inside an enigma
Get inside the slave one find your homing signal
From Endor to Hoth, Ripley to Spock
I'll find what you want, but there's gonna be a cost
Say my name is Boba Fett, I know my shit is tight
Start not acting in right, you're frozen in carbonite
Got telescopic sight, flame throwers on my wrist
You still don't get the jist, spiked boots are made to kick
Targets are made to hit, you think I give a shit
Yer mama is a bitch, I see you in the Sarlaac pit
You just flipped my switch integrity been dissed
You scratchin on my itch you know I shoot the gift
Got bambinas at cantinas waitin' to lick my lusty lips
So I'll let you get back inside you're little space ship
Give you a head start, cuz I'm the sportin' kind
Consider the starting line the sneaky smile I hide inside
Hope you have hyper drive, pray to stay alive
Don't try to slip me a five cuz I never take a bribe
To the beat of a different drummer, bad ass bounty hunter
Let no man put asunder or else they be put under
As in six feet, got an imperial fleet
Backin' me up gonna blow up any attempt to defeat
They gotta Death Star, got four payments on my car
Hand it over to hammer head at Mos Eisley bar
He used to carjack, now he's a barback
Just goes to show how you can get back on the right track
As for me that's not an option can't say that with more clarity
Me going' legit would be Jar Jar in speech therapy
My backpack's got jets
I'm Boba the Fett
I bounty hunt for Jabba Hutt
to finance my vette
I chill in deep space,
a mask is over my face
I deliver the prize but I still narrow my eyes
cuz my time I don't like to waste.
Get down
Slice you open like a Taun-Taun, faster than the autobahn
Or a motorbike in Tron, do the deed and then I'm gone
Jabba has a hissyfit, contact Calrissian
Over a colt, the plan unfolds, no politic is legit
Back in the day when I was a slave
Living life in the fast lane like in a pod race
My mean streak tweaked I became a basket case
So this space ace split that place poste haste
Took up a noble cause called the clone wars
Cuz life's not all about girls and cars
Getting fucked up in fucked up bars
See I'm not a retard or gay like de barge
I'm large and in charge with a face so scarred
A cold black heart that's been torn apart
The Sith wish that they had a dick so hard
Cuz it's long long ago in a pussy far far
Call me master cuz I'm faster than pryor on fire
I no longer have to hot wire
I'm a hunter for hire with no plans to retire
And all the sucka mcs can call me sire
My backpack's got jets
I'm Boba the Fett
I bounty hunt for Jabba Hutt
to finance my vette
I chill in deep space,
a mask is over my face
I deliver the prize but I still narrow my eyes
cuz my time I don't like to waste.
Get down

I have a cousin we call Chewie (us Latinos spell it Chuy and its a nickname for his real name). He hates that character with a passion. Since I can remember everytime he is introduced as Chewie someone either says, "Like from Star Wars!" or they do a Chewbacca sound...
Every now and again when taking the elevator up from the lockerroom at work I will stand inches from the door and when it opens I pretend that I'm Han Solo and just got frozen in carbonite. [URL=http://wso.williams.edu/~rfoxwell/starwars/pics/HanCarbonite.jpg]Like so..[/URL] The guys on the force look at me funny.
Anyways, I am looking forward to the new movie. Like many have mentioned, I didn't care for the first two.
Chewie is a nickname we've given that poopy sludge that mysteriously makes its way around your anus hours after you've taken a dump, like you're working out and all the sudden you've got to wipe your butt and you don't know where it's coming from cuz you don't have the urge to poop. We started out calling it a Critical Wiping Error, but that evolved into a CWE, which in turn evolved into a chewie.
The more you know...
prezactly.

Many, many, MANY people hated attack of the clones. And many of those people are people who loved the original three (Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi) and they also now hate Lucas. So don't feel ostracized by that. By disliking the original three, yes.
As yes, yes, Star Wars Gangsta Rap, C3PO's Christmas Album, MC Chris, etc.
speaking of star war's remind me of a news bit i read couple years back about one of hooter's restaurant waitress suing her manager because she felt she was cheated. apparently, manager announced a contest that one waitress who sell most beer by end of that month would be rewarded toyota. she got toy-yoda.
speaking of a law suit reminds of me a bereaved parents suing nintendo for their son who died playing n64 nonstop for several days. apparently, amount of money they demanded is for his possible future income if their son didn't die.
