I've heard of Dr. Who but am not very familiar with what it's all about. Summary?

WAs it never shown on a Saturday night over there???

Oh man......

It's a shoe that ran for like 30 years, About a time Lord and Daleks an' shit!!

Sorry Bossk man, I just remember watching it when I was younger, and nearly everysingle person over 20 remembers Dr. Who.

But I'm really the wrong person to talk about it!!

But, it was one cheap Sci Fi show, but at the time fantastic, and some say scary!

Ask anyones parents over here about Dr Who and you'll get the same response, "Oooh I used to hide behind the sofa"!!

Would be interesting to see what they'll do with it now though!!


Actually, it was reveved for a one off about 8 years ago, with Julia Roberts' brother playing the Big bad guy 'The Master'.
That wasn't too bad!!

Dr Who............ooooh Scary!!

Any word on casting? I was always partial to Tom Baker and would love to see someone in a similar vein.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Back on to the topic of Return of the Jedi, it is still a great SW movie, OT or SE in my opinion. The ewoks are simply something that are more child friendily, like C3PO or R2D2. Also, it is not inconceivable they beat the legion of the Emperor's best stormtroopers because one legion is nothing compared to what would be thousands of Ewoks I am sure. It is simply a numbers game. Also I do think logs hitting Imperial Walkers is definately possible, we know from the movie they must be much heavier then regular Earth ones, otherwise the Walker head would not be smashed.

it should also be said that ewoks use guerilla tactics in their own backyard.

Yes, but also on the logic of the Walkers I think people forget something. The Imperial Walker who had its head smashed in by the logs was an AT-ST, not the big AT-AT's from ESB that we see Luke and the rest of Rogue Squadron fighting. And the difference between an At-ST and a AT-AT is quote alot in terms of size, weight, armor, shield, firing capacity, agility, etc...

an AT AT wouldnt be able to move in a forest, although we see one just before luke is handed to vader in ROTJ, but in a fight i doubt it would be much use.

Yeah, even an AT AT was dwarfed by those redwoods.

Correct and I think by the same standard (I turn on my lightsaber to prepare for the attacks), Jar Jar Binks and the Gungans from Episode 1 have to be judged in the same light.
