As a variation on the same gag you could keep the original shot of the ship but flip the interior footage so it's upside down.

I quite like narrowscreen, more films should be made that way.

Ha-ha, I like the term narrowscreen.

Oh, man...

Can we have Mad Regan and Mad Michael Jackson from BTTF2 in Dexter's Diner?  Maybe some New Pepsi. 

Also I have to bring a rejected idea from TRM: The line from Ghost Writer where Ewan MacGregor says, "Now this is getting ridiculous!".

But I'd have to watch Ghost Writer then.

BTTF2 is possible.  I'll have to watch it first but since the wife owns it, that shouldn't be too big of a deal.

I sent you the exact time it happened in the movie.  And I saw it in BlockBuster's $5 pile the other day.  It's totally worth it. 

Let me know, and I will buy it for you.

lol no

That was the one film where Ewan McGregor wasn't nude (until he took his clothes off).

That would be great.  It should be incorporated into every Ridiculous edit, kind of like "I have a bad feeling about this."  Han even says "This is ridiculous" just after coming out of the secret compartment in the Falcon in ANH, should Frink ever consider ridiculousizing the OT.

I knew the day would come when the idea I've had floating around in my head since 2002 would finally be of use. Right around the time when Attack came out and Ben Burtt was doing interviews for the film he was always happy to talk about how he achieved this sound or that sound but for some reason he never wanted to talk about how he did the sonic shockwave sound during the Geonosis asteroid scene. It was always pretty obvious to me and I've wanted to do this or see this done.

Basically, to me those sonic booms have always sounded like the opening to the Boys are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy. Here's the sound effect in the film. I always thought it would be funny to hear the lyric "The boys are back in town" faded in and out after every sonic boom. =P

Awesome.

Also it could play over the credits.

Ta da!

Is this what you were thinking?

Captain Typho said:

"I guess I was wrong."

*massive explosion*

"There was no danger at all!" [said with a cheerful smile]

I very nearly spit tea all over my keyboard. Hilarious.

Not sure if that makes Typho seem really stupid or even more cool than Han.

I too enjoyed Typho. And the decoy sounding like the Emperor wasn't bad either.

My original concept was to use Dr. Girlfriend from The Venture Bros., but I liked the Emperor lines better.

Not sure I'm sold on the R2 lines, however.

I like the R2 lines. They make him more like the Darths and Droids character, which I like. Maybe each movie R2 can have a different thing. Episode 1 was memes, maybe we can help you make Episode 2 R2 be more of a gamer. I can already think of some good stuff for the droid factory sequence...

I have no idea how to do it but it would be funny if the factory isn't actually making battledroids but battledroid action figures, a mis-judgement of scale.

It needs moar Ric.

I'm sure this means something...but what, I have no idea.

Ha, this reminds me of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy entry about the swarm of ships that is swallowed by the dog.

It's a "what if Star Wars didn't exist but someone was playing the same situations in a Dungeons & Dragons type game" comic.

The guy who "plays" R2 is one of the annoying D&D players who takes advantage of every rule to make the best character possible for the campaign, which means he can do practically anything but is only allowed to speak in droid language (which he doesn't follow).
