Lightsaber commercial

Saw a commercial on Adult Swim last night for those Master Replicas lightsabers, (did they make too many that they have to plug them on tv now?) and it started off with a lengthy chunk of the ESB duel before you even find out what they're selling. The only prequel footage was from ROTS and not much of it either. Are we a desirable market demographic now?

Where were you in '77?

I don't know. But I have one. I got it like 5 months ago. It's Luke's (well technically it is his father's but it was his for 2 movies) and I love it. I paid $90 for mine and I loves it to death. Though, since I don't know anyone who else has a master replicas saber I don't have anyone to fight against, but those things are like indestructable (even though it obviously says THIS IS NOT A TOY on the side of the box). Bullshit. It's a toy and the only reason we are buying these sabers is because we want to beat each other senseless with them and not have the saber actually bend at the middle (I'm looking in your direction Mr. cheap plastic lightsaber).

That master replica saber is bitchin' though. I've been known to turn off all the lights in the house (except for varioius low lights), blast some Star Wars music, and fight invisable sith with that thing. (However once my aunt actually walked in on me twirling that thing around in my living room and the "Back to the Future" theme was blasting and said, "Are you so nerdily sophisticated that you have to play 2 trilogies at once?" I giggled.) It glows, it hums, it even has light travel up and down the shaft like a real saber - and in the dark it looks so damn cool. If you don't have one, get one.

Hey, I'm way cooler (and hotter *wink*) than the Star Wars Kid. Plus I actually have coridination. And I don't film myself.

But yeah, my aunt knows I'm a nerd. Nobody in my family knocks anymore. Or when they do they open the door anyway, so what difference does it make? *sigh, I can't wait till I graduate college*

I don't know what it is seeing as I've never seen her, but I'm pretty sure this is not just an unfounded boast and Jenny actually is hot.

We can't do attachtments can we? I'll go imageshack a picture of me that I can find so you at least know what I vaguly look like.

(and no I'm not some overweight, greasy haired college bum that only wears t-shirts 2 sizes too small and has never heard of the word "eye liner.")

Eh, makeup's overrated. I'm sure you'd look just great without eye liner, Jenny.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

this was me about 14 months ago. My hair is longer now. It's not my hollywood shot, but it's still respectable.

Very nice. I can think of another thread where that pic should go.

Wow, you actually weren't lying...

Having said that, some of my good girlfriends are pretty geeky but still attractive, so I guess it's not unheard of.

You know, a long time ago I suggested we should post pictures (or at least links) so we could all know who we were talking to. Some people did, but a surprising amount were irrationally paranoid about the whole idea.

I just had some professional photos done for the cover of my demo so when they are scanned I'll post them. In the meantime, there's some pretty old out of date photos Here (in case anyone goves a sh*t).

But seriously, sometime you can just tell when someone is butt-ugly and pretending not to be, and some case (like this one) you can tell when they're not lying. But anyway, I can rest easy because it look's like Gaffer has surpassed me in the brown-nose stakes with this little ditty...
(but not the post count stakes, eh Gaff?

Yeah, Gaffer, too. Might wanna take care of that brownnose.

I know what you mean, YIYF. One of my friends is gonna get married to a "geeky" (as if that means anything these days), but cute gal.

Oh, and Jenny is a good lookin' girl. I'm not brown-nosing. I'm honest.

Thanks guys. I feel all special now.

And those are some good pictures YIYF. Not a bad looking guy.

But not a good-looking one either...
I look a bit different now - longer hair.

It's nice to know who you're talking to I think. I don't get why some people are so scared to post their picture. It's not like by knowing what you look like I'm gonna come and hunt you down or anything.

Yeah, but some people are afraid of the Photoshop. Not like we're gonna do that.

At least not right away. Kidding! I kid...

Heh, I'm not sure I'd call that brown nosing. I just really don't like makeup on girls, that's all. Now that I've seen her picture, I can testify that Jenny is indeed a very pretty girl from a purely objective standpoint.

Jenny how old are you? You somewhat implied that you were in college?

FX Sabers, let's see...

I have:

Anakin Ep II
Anakin Ep III
Luke ROTJ version 2.0
Vader Ver 1
Vader Ver 2
Mace Windu

I have another Anakin Ep II with the blade removed so it can be worn too.

I'm going to get the Darth Maul ones next.
Hopefully they will have the Obi Wan ones at Comic Con
There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

I'm looking for these "collectables" as well, but at a hunerd bucks...that's too much.

I'll just wait until they're half price in a couple months.

Come on. While I admit that that and the subsequent posting of her picture in the Beautiful Women thread did remind me of You-Know-Who, it's not fair to make such judgements so early on. Let's not seem cliquey and paranoid.

Well THX, I guess it does have to go further. You brought it upon yourself.

And how old are you?

Because the last time I checked college students were at least 18, and gee, that happens to be legal age doesn't it?

Just shut up before I start to think you're a dumbshit or something.
