Star Wars talk

[QUOTE=Maddetchke Malorkus]I never saw Episode 1. It does sound like a disappointment. Stupid kids. I'm not making fun of you. I love that scene. I never saw it until my older brother pointed it out. Ohhh I died. It's lovely. He bangs his head, then the camera pans away and when it's back on him in a second he's adjusting his helmet.[/QUOTE]
How can you make a Star Wars thread and not have seen Episode 1?

That's not false advertising, but it's something like it.

[QUOTE=JKuhlmann]when does the storm trooper walk into the door? i wanna see.[/QUOTE]

in star wars, when r2d2 and c3po are in that room in the Death Star. the storm troopers storm into the room, and one of the last guys in nails his head on the top of the door. the final mix has it, it's an extremely loud smacking noise.

[QUOTE=JKuhlmann]when does the storm trooper walk into the door? i wanna see.[/QUOTE]

You have to look carefully in Star Wars IV. I think Vader is walking through a hallway with storm troopers behind him marching together, and just before the camera continues to follow Vader (?) and pull away from the storm troopers, you see the one on the end, on the left I think, bang his forehead into the doorway over him. I don't remember when this happens. I never noticed it for years. EDIT: see above, what Snuffster said.

First, because Episode 1 reportedly sucked and therefore doesn't count. Secondly, I'm here to learn.

But if you like Star Wars then how can you take someone else's opinion so seriously that you don't even watch episode 1? I mean, do you not show up at your son's hockey game cause he's reportedly isn't very good? I think you may be faking it...

Faking what? I'm not a Star Wars fanantic. I already said that. Do you have to be an expert to start a thread on something? And I wouldn't go to my son's hockey game because he's just like his damn sonofabitch father. And I hate that this thread moved.

I know, I couldn't find it anywhere. Though I only looked in one place. Which was where it was and it wasn't there and I got pissed, thinking there's no way someone would move this thread now that it has gone this far. I don't care that you're not a Star Wars expert, though for some reason I'm dissapointed. I was about to even rent the first three movies and see them for the first time, but now that you haven't even seen episode 1 I just don't see the point. Nothing has meaning anymore, it's like when you're new to the internet and you take a survey for a free laptop and sit here smiling, waiting for it to come and when it doesn't you're just shattered for life. I was picturing you looking forward to episode 2, or episode 3 or whatever the one coming out is, and now you haven't even seen episode 1, this whole thread just seems like that survey now, I can't handle any of this, I want to run at this thread and hit it with my head.

Episode 1 does not count in terms of the first three. Episode 1 was a child of a different man than the first three were. Lucas has changed. The movies are entirely different in all ways. Don't you know that some people refuse to acknowledge episode 1 and they are personally crushed by it. You know that feeling you have? That's the feeling that Episode 1 gave to some people who loved the first three. I'm sorry I gave you the wrong impression, but I also don't really care.

DID YOU KNOW: that was done on accident, but lucas thought it would be amusing to have an explaination of it, so he had jango fett--the guy the storm troopers were cloned from--bump his head. so his clumsy qualities were passed down through his clones. odd, but true.

Also, in episode IV, cp3o says that he's only just started working with r2d2, to luke's uncle. someone explain how this could be.

He lied so he wouldn't be associated with him?

Don't they sound like hillbillies? Jango and Bobba.
Tell me, why was Bobba Fett the coolest guy in those? Because he didn't talk? Because you didn't see his face? Because you see his slave ship come up and slyly follow the millenium falcon?

whatever the french word is "he had it", he had it. he was pimp that way. turns out, he was kind of a dork.

u got a source on that one? im not so sure cuz the troopers stopped being cloned after the clone war was over because they are fucked up. cloning became illegal cuz it did weird things to the force.

the line about the r2/c3po thing is "i've worked with him before." that doesnt mean they just met.

yeah, my source is george lucas himself. and are you sure "i've worked with him before" is all he says?

the prequel writing SUCKS ASS.

well, episode IV isnt a prequel. also, you know what i hate about the prequels? the one liners. c3po is full of them, and they drive me nuts. they're bad when ahnold says them, they're bad when will smith says them, they're even worse when c3po says them.

fuckin' a! thats what i was thinkning through the whole movie. Especially during the arena battle when his head got knocked off. They were horribly annoying.

[QUOTE=alex cassun]well, episode IV isnt a prequel.[/QUOTE]

oh right, let me read your post again, one sec...

ok, so are you saying this conflicts with the story given to us in the prequels?

at any rate, I hate the writing in the prequels, the scripts suck. the pacing is all fucked up.

yeah, and what bugs me is the lack of consistency. i know twenty odd years have passed since lucas made the first film until he made the last one, but c'mon, keep it steady. how hard is it to not go out of your way to make a mockery of this thing?

Fans have been writing prequels for ages already! If Lucas had died, there would still be plenty of fanfiction material out there and I'm sure some of them, maybe a combination of a few, would have been quality.

i agree. i also think that he should hand over the reigns to episodes 7 - 9, which he stated a long time ago he'd always wanted to make but decided he doesn't want to spend another 10 years of his life dealing with star wars.

I think we mentioned once in the cult cinema how cute it would be to have When C3PO met R2D2 in a When Harry Met Sally type buddy comedy.

I'll tell you who was cool, [url=http://3rdrealm.odyssey.com.au/aw%20boba%20fett%20art.jpg]Boba Fett[/url]. I ended up buying a bunch of the Boba Fett spinoff comics.

I always thought having a jetpack was a little redundant in a movie where space travel is so common. Though I suppose it did save Fett's ass from The Sarlak in the Pit of Karcoon.

I thought that's where Fett met his grisly end? Sarlaked.

Ah, but if you read the comics, Fett blew up the belly of the Sarlak with a thermal detenator (he couldn't use his jetpack, because Han stuck Weequay's pike staff into it, so it's fuel was drained). The explosion killed The Sarlak and destroyed Fett's battle armour, leaving him badly scarred and burned, laying nekkid in the desert.

I don't recall what happened after that.

I've been merrily oblivious to this all my life. Things must change.

It may have been a novel actually...I used to read a lot of Star Wars books when I was younger.

At least it wasn't Sweet Valley High

Don't let Vendetta see that. She'll tear your balls off with her bear hands. Wearing gloves I suppose, I don't imagine she'd want skin on skin contact with your goolies.

I knew that Fett survived the Sarlacc but I didn't know how.

I have a cousin who is in his late twenties, and he's a hardcore Trekkie. He's been spied wearing the full uniform out in public. I can't even look him in the eye.

Furries are people who enjoy erotic role playing dressed up as small furry animals like chipmunks or weasels. They may think they are animals trapped in a human's body, and may dress up in animal suits to lounge around the house in. They may also enjoy anthropomorphic literature like The Redwall series, and movies like Fievel Goes West. These are adults, and they share communities online and newsgroups and discussion boards about how to purr and how to make love in a fur suit. I'm not joking.

Check it out. It's true. I linked you. It's not always sexual. Sometimes they just enjoy animals in human-like roles in books and movies.

People into the sexual side are apparently called 'furverts'.

that's awesome. robin hood is my second favorite animated movie, behind the secret of nimh. good times.

The Star Wars toys were sophisticated and detailed compared to other action figures and playsets of the time. They sold every single character and piece from all the movies. You could buy the entire Mos Eisley Cantina, with the band members and everything.

Off topic, but I really enjoyed the Secret of Nimh as a kid.

i still enjoy secret of nimh as an adult.

I probably would, but I haven't seen it since I was a kid. That's all.
