What's up with Star Wars?

Remove all ads!

I know im probably going to get killed for this but...

Why are you so obsessed with Star Wars? I mean yeah its a good set of films but you people are Amazing! Theyre not worth all this attention, especially Episode 2.

But Empire Strikes Back...now that was a good film...

 

If they're not worth the attention, why'd you start another post about them?

 

That's it, SW are so addictive that you're talking about them again and again untill there is no way to realize that you are talking about it again

But seriously, the original trilogy was really good, or at least peple think it was. They were waiting almost 20 years for next parts. So if they are dissapointed or not, they will need to discus it.

Yoda. The Story. The force. The universe. Han Solo.

 

Princess Leia in a gold bikini.

 

What's up with Another Star Wars thread? This could easily have slotted into one of the other topics, or at least random babblings. Please someone (you know who you are!) lock a couple!

otherwise i may be tempted to open a new topic... 'Why so many Star Wars Topics?'

[diety edity] -great one-liners: "i love you!"... "i know." classic!

Jack Funk stole my answer!!!! So I'll have to say: Padme's belly button!

 

You all know I'm a huge SW fan but even I think there are beginning to be too many SW threads. There's enough out there now to post thoughts, comments, questions, and concerns in. We'll see it, we promise. No need to start a new thread on if we'll see Padme in a silver chain bikini on the Emperor's lap in Episode III

 

Terrible acting! Wooden characters! Reading into the dismal plot a wee too much!

 

Well, there are too much SW topics... it's just the hype that comes with the movie that is just released.... We had the same with Lord of the Rings. The best thing is too try to have all SW talk as much as possible in one topic... but there are always people that open another topic for their opinion... or for another SW question...wich results in 6 different topics... Well, after a month I suppose the hype is over and we have peace again

I was wondering why we can't combine the booktalk forum with a movie-forum, so we get a forum where we can talk about books and movies... or just go for a different forum for movietalk... for there is much movie-discussion here in whatnots... But I don't think Tal likes that idea

 

Who was it that complained that "Attack of the clones" was a weird title, anyway?

Well Lucas is changing it;
New title

Taluntain... got your point.... it was just a revenge on the people that complained a few months ago about oo many LoTR topics (just kidding )

ArchAngel o---> LOL!

 

Maybe we should give Big B a new forum to himslef so that he can post all of his very long crap in it?

 

ArchAngel: LOL!

I'll save that poster back in my comedy archives. Simply awesome!

Enyways, Episode2 is a breath of fresh air. Smog ridden Episode1 had me hypoxic. There's some parts in Episode2 which are classic. Or, at least, they will be if the Clone Edit puts in tiny little .3sec freeze frames and makes it appear like the character has to struggle/think to remember his/her dialogue script lines...

 

Gopher, you see the issue is Lucas has taken my childbood hostage. When I was growing up in the 70's Star Wars was the biggest thing around. I had SW toys, books. movies, etc. Ham Solo was - and still is one of the greatest heroes ever. Darth Vader was evil itself.

Why do I go and see the new movies when they are only average? I have no choice. I am a product of the Star Wars era. The very culture was warpped by the movie and there was no escape. You know you were waiting in line for EBS and RotJ. It didn't matter how long. When E1 came out (before I knew it wasn't as good) I was willing to stand in line again hours on end for tickets.

You may mock Lucas today, and I do as well, since he won't release the first 3 movies on DVD, but you have to respect the amazing quality of the first movies. It was part of us and we can never get rid of it.

If you weren't there you may never understand.

That sums it up!!! I agree completely. I loved the first three! I had the ships, figures, and even the lunch box. I sometimes find myself quoting lines from the original trilogy fairly often - much to my friends dismay...

I still get goosebumps when I hear the 20th Century Fox intro...Then the explosion of the words "Star Wars" in conjunction with the opening theme!

Although the new movies still don't quite capture the feelings I had as a kid watching Luke & Leia swing across the chasm, Ben Kenobi wasting Snaggletooth in the cantina, Vader's declaration that he's Luke's Father, Yoda's ominous reply when Luke says he's not afraid, or Lando's cheer when he blast's out of the second Death Star's innards - I still love going to that galaxy far far away, a long time ago!

Nothing has matched the originals in my mind, but seeing how the originals came about, the fall of a great society, the extermination of a noble order, and the rise of a thoroughly evil emperor, makes the other movies that much greater!!

 

hee hee. poor unyappie gopher, his anti-starwars thread has turned into a pro-starwars on!

 

Ah well...by the way God, it wasnt anti-StarWars thread, i love starwars!!!
Its just that i felt Ep2:AotC wasnt worth all this attention.

Ive got a Star Wars Backpack, call me sad if you will but i think it's cool.

I was just interested why people talked so much about it when i thought it didnt compare even closely to the original 3.

Sorry for any offence this may have caused, it wasnt meant as a hate-thread, more as a Why-Is-It thread.

 

But that's just it Gopher, it's because of the original 3 that we are still talking. Without them the new movies are nothing.
