C3PO, why?

    I think George Lucas just might be a virgin. Middle school kids can write dialogue with more mature sensuality than Lucas can.

    Bubbler, in the words of Boo-yah Stew-ya, "man, fuck those guys."

    That was funny as hell to read for fun.

    Let's not overlook the AWESOME SUCK that was Jake Lloyd in Phantom Menace: C-SPAN in Space. I think most fans of the original trilogy were shell-shocked by its awfulness. Except for Maul's fight scene at the end, it's almost unwatchable.

    Eh, we'll have to agree to disagree. I loved seeing that little kid act all innocent, knowing he'd grow into the evil Vader.

    And as much as Binks sucked, I loved Phantom Menace, if for no other reason than seeing the pieces put in place for the democracy to be shattered.

    Of course, I'm also a bit of a history buff so those senate floor debates had me intrigued.

    Yeah. It was like watching Henry Clay debate the Compromise of 1850 after it was filtered through a Jabba The Hut buttock fatfold and into an intergalactic pipe filled with suck moving at hyperdrive speed. :D

    Now we know why Han Solo called him Goldenrod.

    Awesome. And that trading card is way cooler than the "Luke stares at two-sun sunset" or the "C3PO walks past dinosaur bones" cards I recall having as a kid.

    Great thread, Bubbler. Personally, I think C3PO was George Lucas's version of this famed, gold-covered character:

    Not sure what that says about Lucas, though!

    Dammit Coco, now I'm picturing C3PO in various scenes from Goldfinger.

    I cannot stomach the idea of C3PO sitting in the backseat of Bond's Aston Martin when they're being chased by Goldfinger's baddies in Switzerland shouting, "Oh Mr. Bond, we're surely doomed!"

    Or the laser scene, where he might say, "007, the odds of you not getting your package fried off are 9,874,321 to 1!"

  11. Bubbler: That was a fucking brilliant post.

    Everyone: schiezainc is not as far off the mark as you all want him to be.

    But what would the odds have been of finding the Slazenger in the rough?

    Brilliant post as usual, Bubs ...
