Calling all Star Wars geeks!!!!

That was the posting equivalent of a seven-streamer.

 

[BigDog]

The phrase that got snubbed for post of the year -- and I've had some 2006 candidates of late, too -- was eight-streamer, not seven-streamer.

Yoda was the greatest Jedi of them all. Now, back to the thread.

As your attorney, I advise you take that hit of acid.

Thanks, Dr. Gonzo.

I'm not a 'Star Wars' geek, although I did have a bunch of 'Star Wars' toys when I was a kid.
Here's my theory on Lucas and the tale of the original nine-episodes idea:
Lucas liked the idea of of making a feature-length space opera that would be an homage to movie serials suchs as Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers.
The idea behind 'Star Wars' was that it would be self-contained yet episodic at the same time. To highlight this, he provided the text intro, typical of many old movie serials, and labeled it Epsiode 4.
To make it work, he very, very loosely constructed a larger story outline around the so-called Episode 4.
After the crazy popularity of 'Star Wars,' Lucas talked about the larger story as a nine-episode project as if it were already established when really it was just a concept.

Coming in late, but I too heard the stories of the nine-episode saga.

As to the Clones-Menace-New Hope argument...
It will always be New Hope, Sith, Clones Menace.

I'm sorry, but Hayden Christianson (sic) is just a bad actor that ruined those movies for me, and I love the "Holy Trilogy"

 

[Buck]

Also, I refuse to refer to 'Star Wars' as 'A New Hope.'
It's 'Star Wars.'

 

[2muchcoffeeman]

So if Lucas isn't doing the final three, is anyone going to make 'em?

Three novels, all by Timothy Zahn: Heir To The Empire, Dark Force Rising and The Last Command. Available at good bookstores everywhere.

 

[KJIM]

I second the motion, Buck. It's "Star Wars" forever to me, too.

I said it before and I'll say it again, Yoda was the GREATEST Jedi of them all.

That looks like a D_B, mister.

And Luke Skywalker built the New Jedi Order from nothing. Yoda failed to see the downfall of the old order coming.

 

[Buck]

Who would in a battle between the 'Star Wars' universe and the Micronauts?

**** that. Yoda kicked ass. Never lost. Just like Jack Dempsey. Yoda was the man.

Wrong!!!!!! Palpatine defeated Yoda after Anakin killed all the Jedi in the temple.

I like Star Wars and all, but *******, folks.

OK Chickie, I forgot about that one. shouldn't have but I did. So he lost one. Hey, he's stil the man.

Doc, behave or you're gonna join Zeke on the grounded list!

I, too, will always think of the original movie as Star Wars. Never ever as "A New Hope."

Star Wars went sour when Grover started hamming it up in The Empire Strikes Back. The non-Grover scenes were pretty cool, though.

The third one should have been much different. Either Luke should have gone bat**** nuts and started killing everything in sight and taken over the Death Star, then blown Billy Dee Williams into oblivion, or Darth should have taken control, offed the Emperor and Luke, then turned that gun on the fleet. Then he could have dispatched all the forces to massacre the Ewoks.

Besides, are we seriously going to believe an army could dominate a space empire, yet it can't subdue dozens of furry pandas on the surface of a planet? I call bull****.

At what point did anybody say logic applies to Star Wars?

To each his own. I just want to know where all the women like sportschick and Rosie were when I was single.

Oh well. At least my daughter will watch the original trilogy with me :)
