Anyone else totally disregard Leia being Luke's sister?
Time
The empire strikes back was the perfect springboard for the final star wars movie. Seriously, it couldn't have been any more perfect. If only they had deviced a better storyline and a better character study it could have been so much more wholesome. It shouldn't have lost focus on all the main character, yet it should've put way more focus on Luke. For eg: possibly, gradually succumbing to the dark side/or questioning obi wan and feeling betrayed by his 'point of view', inner struggles etc. I find it extremely boring how luke just surrenders and turns himself over to darth vader. What an easy and convenient way to make it to the throne room and the emperor!

Fleshing out the other characters would have helped a great deal too. Now they're nothing more than props. Sacrificing han solo was also much needed.

Return of the jedi is a fun movie. I can live with that. But it should have been so much more than just a fun movie. Especially depending on esb.

Questions

Do you think the display is eye catching?
Yes, but in a bad kinda way


Do you think you would notice this display at a till of a store?
ditto

Would you be tempted to buy the box set displayed?
no

Do you think the Darth Vader and Leia characters on the stand are iconic?
Obviously, otherwise ppl wouldn't be talking about star wars


Do you think the design of the box set is interesting?
Not so much interesting, more peculiar. Looks like crazy pokemon ball.

Would you display the box set?
for a laugh maybe

Would you automatically associate the box with star wars?
No, if it wasn't for the dart vader head i wouldn't know what the hell it was.

Is there enough information on the box?
I don't know, perhaps, but it's presented in a crummy sorta way. And there's a few spelling errors on it.

Would you pick the shaped box set over normal DVD cases?
No


Comments? i'm sorry, but i don't like it. Looks like a cross between an ashtray and a pokeball. It's a nice idea, but it needs more finetuning and effort...

edit: also way to clunky and big...

Comics Fans

Eh, Silversufer is pretty lame IMHO. Being as you think superheros are lame, I think it is funny you post in the Comic Fans section because after your comment I will have to assume you are not one. But the rest of us are, so I don't see the point in your comment. I am willing to bet the only thing you know about Silversurfer is the advert. for the second Fantastic Four film. Anyway, Spidey could whip his butt anyday. Surfer is just an illegal alien trying to make a name for himself.


Uh, nah, i don't care about superhero movies heh.

Bet all you want, but i've read quite a lot of silver surfer comics. My dad still has a whole bunch of 'em and that's how i got to read 'em.

Okay okay, some others are alright too, I quite liked the hulk. I'm more of a tales from the crypt/weird science/ moebius/Paul Gillon/sci fi comic kinda reader. And i still like to read a all the heavy metal magazines from the late 70s, early 80S. Some awesome sci from spain and holland.

edit: and spiderman is a wuss and im leaving this thread now since u guys are pretty serious hardcore crew lol

What were your original expectations for the PT?
Time
While parts of Eps 1 & 2 certainly disappopinted a friend asked me when I was coming out of the first night of ROTS "What did you think?" and I said "It was everything I wanted it to be" and I still think that about ROTS.


Really now? What about:

The ridiculous opening scroll? War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere?

Hilarious droids making funny noises?

An opening battle where no one knows what the fuck is going on?

Millions of different variations of OT-vehicles just for the heck of it?

GENERAL GRIEVOUS? Who is this guy anyway?

Count dooku, an old, old man doing a bunch of flips while he could just as much walked down the stairs which would be much more menacing anyway...

Padme?

Soap drama romance? Love story?

padme, lost the will to live, but she just delivered two babies?

Why have a silly looking robot handle the birth of the babies? Why not a normal human being?

Yoda speaking like a dumbass? Performing tons of saltos in the air? Not if i have anything to say about it blabla?

Mace windu? I still dont know what his purpose was in the prequel trilogy...

Jedi rules/codes etc...not fall in love, not have sex blabla...what the hell is that?

Midi-Chlorians?

All the clones have the dumbest face ever? lol

The ridiculous jedi fights? Where's the grace? The tactics etc...

Anakin's dumb dreams about padme dying?

Sidious' makeup?

Anakins turn to the dark side?

Cody?

The clones that look horrible compared to the awesome looking storm troopers and all?

Chewbaca? Why was he in it?

younglins?

All the shitty politics? So much unneeded drama...

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE JEDI ARE EVIL?

Making the emperor absolutely over the top?

All the ridiculous lava? They should have died right there..

Higher ground?

i actually kinda liked the line ' wheres padme, is she safe?' lol

Some very hokey CGI?

Etc etc? lol

Thanks for helping me come up with these reasons chef!

Seriously though, how could anyone like this film? It's such a mess.

Blade runner overrated? Well that's a pickin'!

Blade runner is a fuckin' classic. Absolutely ridley scott's crown achievement. And that's saying a lot with his catalogue. The duellists especially, and Alien are among the best films ever.

It's probably the best vision of the future, or the most fascinating if you will. Taking cue from star wars where nothing is perfect and shiny (fuck you prequel future). We get a rutger hauer in a carreer peak, a perfectly understated role by ford, brilliants visuals/story/soundtrack etc.

A bunch of sci fi has been made before and after and not one comes close to Blade runner ( with the possible exception of SW and ESB).

Other sci-fi i enjoy: Outland, Omega man, Soylent green, T-1/2, Stalker, The thing, silent runner, gattaca, robocop, total recall, tron, salute of the jugger, A.I, Westworld, but like i said nothing comes close to Blade runner's genius.

What happened to the Gomer Tronic-something user?
Time
Hmm, you curiosity is interesting. Perhaps you are Gomer and wish to make sure we are not suspecting that you have a new name.

Anyway, here's to you Gomer, the new life that awaits you and the hot chicks you're bound to fuck!

What happened to the Gomer Tronic-something user?
Time
Yes. Before I signed up, I lurked around from time to time in the general star wars section and Gomer really seemed to have some totalitarian grip on all the threads. He always seemed to hijack them with uttermost care.

The thing is, I didn't think he was a bad user, nor a bad person, but something about him seemed a little fishy. And are you sure he actually left?

How to be a SW fan
Time
Well, all I truly want is a watchable copy of the OOT on DVD or whatever replaces DVD. That's why I joined the forums here.


Well it is reasonably watchable if you go by that criteria I think. I'm just happy I have the OOT on dvd. But that's just the point. I shouldn't be happy, because a lacklustre effort was made in order to serve us the best possbile experience.

But yeah, they're one of the most important films ever made and anything less than perfect quality is unspeakable. What's the point of knocking us down with all these special edition releases. Who really cares if some creature farts blablah.

Discussion: This Guy Has A Lot Of Toys
Time
My brother gave away all the O-OT toys we collected when we were kids to somebody he didn't even know too well. When I and my other brother heard the news we were fuckin' pissed and devastated haha. Now I only have left Admiral Ackbar ( still awesome!), a few ewoks and a guy from the rebel alliance. Apart from that i found out we still had the millenium falcon, a big imerpial starfleet and part from the ewoks treehouse. Fuckin' big lol.

All those prequel trilogy figures and sets look horrible. Ours were worth so much more.

But man, we will never forgive our brother for what he done lol. We had them all. Fuckin' Boba, darth vader, emperor, Greedo, Luke, Obi wan, yoda, R2, Tarkin ETC ETC! =(

What is a big fat ass dinosaur doing in my ANH?
Time
Oh well, that's what the original original star wars trilogy dvds are for! If only the quality was a little bit better, but it's still reasonably acceptable. But it hurts. Atleast no dumb dinosaur blocking important stuff, han solo tilting his head like he's groovy, jedi rocks song, full on wampa shots ( ice creature's name right?), Hayden something replacing old Ani...*shudder*!

Anyone else love the dark blueish color of the imperial star destroyers in ESB O-OT dvd? =p It was like this back in the theatres right?
