And for those of you playing along at home, the name of the episode was "Wardof Salad" where he plays a very rude American vacationing in England.


Impressive... most impressive.

(Dammit, every time I think of that now, I think of Anakin in Chapter 21 of the Clone Wars series saying it, rather than in ESB.)

General Rieekan was always my favorite Rebel officer, even before I got to know him by his barking orders to me in Rogue Squadron.

I have a bad feeling about this...

1. You refer to the original Star Wars as “Star Wars” and not “A New Hope”

Indeed

2. You’ve seen each OT film at least 10 times.

Possibly, over the course of the 22 years of my existance its possible.

3. You can play the entire movies in your head and have most if not all the lines memorized

Sort of

4. You have seen the Holiday Special

I haven't

5.You own a laserdisc or dvd transfer version of the O-OT.

YEAH! Hell yes! The Tr47 ones in fact and they work GREAT!

6. You hate the changes to the OT, but you own the special edition and 2004 DVD anyway.

That wouldnt make me an O-OT fan if I owned the DVD now would it? I'll have NOTHING to do with the special edition.

7. You rarely, if ever refer to SW, Empire and Jedi by their episode numbers, but you do so with the prequels.

Yeah actually.

8. You blame any and all plotholes on the prequels and NOT on the original films

Indeed, because thats how it is. Its the prequals and Captain CGI Fetish Lucas's fault for the plotholes.

9. You think the special effects from the O-OT are much more believable than the cgi stuff from the special editions and prequels.

Think, I do not. Know, I do.

10. You’ve cringed at three or more special edition changes while watching the movies.

a) Greedo Shooting first b) Jabba in Star Wars c) Luke screaming

11. When you watch the updated versions, you often yell at the TV.

I yelled at the cinema too. Luckily it was dark.

12. Han shot first, end of story.

Damn straight.

13. You hate most or all of the OT changes, but wouldn’t mind seeing changes made to the prequel trilogy

I'd like to see the PT erased from history and out of our memories, like the flavor text of a certain magic card which describes nobody mourning you because they never knew you existed in the first place.

14. You know what O-OT, OT, PT and ILM stand for.

Original Original Trilogy, Original Trilogy, Prequal Trilogy, Industrial Light and magic

15. You prefer puppet Yoda to CGI Yoda.

Yes, he looks Corporeal

16. You love and hate George Lucas.

Aint no love at all, man. I hate the fucker. He was seduced by the dark side of film making. He ceased to be an artist and became a yuppie.

17. When watching the updated versions, you can point out every tiny minsicule change that was made.

Yes I can.

18. You wish the prequels looked and felt more like the OT.

Yes, and anyone who doesnt wish that is an unamerican terrorist nazi satan worshiping scatologist.

19. You would pay over $20 (per film) to see the O-OT on the big screen.

Fuck no, I'm bitching about how ten bucks is too much for a movie ticket so what make syou think I'd see ANY movie for 20?

20. You think the cgi changes made to the O-OT did little or nothing to enhance the films.

Think, i do not. Know, I do.
Fine, mister Lucas, while you're at it why dont you replace Lando with will smith?

You know your a sick fan when you know all the Imperial oficers first and last names in the OT. For that fan who was showing parallels, here's one, Lt. Porkins was also in Indiana Jones Raiders Of the Lost Ark. For another OT fan bonus, Adm. Piett played Jesus in Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
"All to easy"

[IMDbs it.]
Is Hootkins (Porkins) one of the guys who comes to see Indiana at the university in the beginning of "Raiders"? I can't remember the character Major Eaton.

I have a bad feeling about this...

another sign you're an OOT fan: you often refer to Obiwan as Ben Kenobi.
George Lucas was seduced by the dark side. The OOT ceased to exist in his mind and became the Special Editions...." "They're more maching now than movies. Twisted and evil."

If I'm referring to the prequels, I call him Obi-Wan, but I call him Ben if I'm referring to the originals, because I learned how to talk Star Wars in the Luke Skywalker Academy of Speech. Actually, I've always found it rather jarring when Luke calls him Obi-Wan in Return of the Jedi. It just didn't seem representative of their relationship. Only the old people called him that! Does anybody else feel that way?

Yes
2) When you are about to finish a long job you say, "Almost there..."
Yes
3) When you see something you like you say, "Impressive. Most impressive."
Yes
4) Your car is called "The Falcon."
I really do call my car the falocon all the time. 'Let's take the falcon', etc. I haven't called it 'the car' in ages. Even my friends now refeet o my car as 'The Falcon'. The funny thing is my car is pretty old (21 years), but really weell and affectionately cared for, just like the real falcon
5) When sweeping/raking/mopping/shoveling you can't help but swing your handle around and "Bzzrroom! Zrroom!"
I guess I've done that but not everytime I pick up a mop.
6) When the grocery store register beeps, you can help but say, "Thank you R2."
Can't say I do, but from now on I will
7) You’re not quite sure where to put your copy of TPM, AOTC, and ROTS on the video shelf - Before or after the original trilogy? In the middle of the re-mastered set? After the original releases but before the Special Edition box set? And where should the 2004 DVD's go?
I never bought AOTC or ROTS, and my copy of TPM went in a bag of otehr junk and given to a charity shop
8) You don't care how something works - it just does.
Yes
9) Any school notebooks are doodled with pictures of X-Wings, Tie Fighters, star destroyers, and lightsabers.
That and big penises (when I was at school, that is)
10) Midichlorians don't exist. They never existed. Ever.
Midi-what?
11) It's not a car - it's a land speeder.
Like I said, it's 'The Falcon'
12) When ever taking off or landing in an airplane, you wish that the Captain would say over the intercom, "This is it! Lock S-foils in attack position!"
That would be cool
13) Other people look at the stars and see empty space with stars billions of miles away. You look up and imagine an X-wing pulling a split-S dive, levelling out and totalling two TIE Fighters and you're fighting along right next to them as "Red 9."
Yes
14) You refer to your University as "The Jedi Acadamy." Or if your university sucks, "The Emperial Acadamy."
Nope, never done that
15) You nod and smile while reading this list.
most of it - some of it's just wacky
16) You draw comparisons to Star Wars in casual conversation.
constantly
17) When your alarm goes off in the morning you say, "Unexpected this is...and unfortunate."
I say something a little stronger, but I'm working on getting to the point of Yoda Zen
18) You know the names of all the major cast members and what they are doing now.
The OT cast
19) When ever you buy a new appliance you make sure that it speaks Bocce.
I couldn't live with a non-bocce speaking toaster
20) When something is out of reach you close your eyes and try to bring it to you by using the force.
All the time. One day I'll get it
21) Yoda and Obi-Wan appear to you in your dreams and you take their advice on a regular basis.
Not yet
22) You plan on naming one (if not all) of your children with a Star Wars name somewhere in their legal names.
Definitely
23) You listen to Star Wars music for insparation.
Yes
24) You have tried to force choke people that have pissed you off.
No, cos that's the Dark Side
25) When people make fun of your car/van/boat/bike/jetski you say "She'll make point 5 past lightspeed."
I've been known to say that
26) You defend the acting of Mark Hamill passionately.
Seriously, Mark Hamill is a great actor
27) You wave your hand purposefully and "use the Force" to open automatic doors or elevator doors.
Yes
28) You bought the game Wing Commander III and/or IV just because Mark Hamill was in it.
No, but I only know what it is or that it even exists because of him
29) You've referred to Wedge Antilles or Boba Fett as "The Man."
Yes
30) Any time you are putting on a glove on your right hand it is because you have to cover up the cybernetics that are now showing.
Well, no

1. You refer to the original Star Wars as “Star Wars” and not “A New Hope”
not only that but I refer to the original films as the original trilogy, not the oot or non special edition. Those are the true versions, George has only forgotten what they are. (and the amount of money they've made him)

the second list
2, 3, 25: what about you try to quote any lines from movies in the appropriate context whenever you can.
once when I piled into a 4 seat car with 5 other people I said "One thing's for sure, we're all gonna be a lot thinner."

Take back the trilogy. Execute Order '77
