If George had become a writer for Star Trek:

Are you suggesting Jar Jar is a Cylon?

At least he's a redshirt. Landing party duty for you, Mr. Binks! ;)

Where were you in '77?

Good thing it's not TNG era; otherwise, it would mean that Jar-Jar occupies a command position!

(Like bombad general, for instance?)

If the Borg were to assimilate Jar-Jar, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?

So that is the reason why Voyager is so awful.

Since they're like poetry, what with the rhyming and all, I find that I only need to watch three out of the six films.

This thread sucks

On the contrary, this thread is a great parody of a frevious thread.

I'm reading a cnet article about the youtube video concerning how Episode I could be improved. In the comments, I find this brainwashed gem:

I probably represent the minority opinion here, but I really like episodes 1-3. I grew up with episodes 4-6, but was never overly impressed with them. The new films add (1) way better visuals, (2) much richer worlds, (3) greater character depth, and oh, yeah, (4) they completely changes the focal point of the story.

This guy loses me at, literally, an exponential rate. But he continues:

Watching 4-6, you get the feeling that the story is all about Luke...a young irritating kid who accidentally restores balance to the universe by whining so long enough that his father goes on a rampage and kills the closest person to him (the emperor).

*sigh*

But 1-3 shows us that the story was never about Luke...it's always been about Anakin. This shift opens up a much deeper storyline. It elevates the story from cheesy space fantasy to sci-fi Greek tragedy. Anakin is Star Wars, not Luke.

*twitch*

Is Jar-Jar annoying? Not any more annoying than Ewoks, Jawas, or those ugly puppet things that hung around Jabba. I think he fits in with the SW universe quite well.

Obi-Wan Kenobi says: Well, then you are lost!

The blue elephant in the room.

So I was surfing the Internet the other day...I was using Google of course, for no truly explicable reason, but rather because I felt strangely compelled to use this search engine in place of any other.  Every website I clicked on would take me to an advertisment that I could not skip.  The ad was the same on ever site: "This website has been approved for general public viewing by Lucasfilm Limited."  And there was this raspy breathing sound at every one.  But one website seemed to be off limits, a site devoted to fans of 70s-80s sci-fi...and a different, intimidating ad popped up.  Man, I just about wet my pants!

 

 

I managed to grab a screenshot.  What do you suppose it all means?!?

George Lucas has stated that he will reboot the original Star Wars trilogy in order to "get it more in line with my original vision, more like what I showed audiences with my Prequel Trilogy."  Upon hearing this news, estimates from 500,000 to millions have hurled themselves to their deaths in various locations, from the Golden Gate bridge in the west to the Sears Tower in the east.  The Federal Bureau of Investigation is considering pressing charges against Lucas for crimes against humanity, but most in the federal government appear hesitant.  "Do you really think that the Federal Reserve could pay for enough attorneys to match the clone army of lawyers Lucas can assemble?  The man owns, like, 68% of the earth!" stated an unnamed source in the Attorney General's office.  When Lucas first heard the suggestion, President Barack Obama personally called him to smooth things over ahead of the DNC so as not to harm his reelection campaign.  Lucas has stated that he may withhold his campaign contributions from the Obama compaign, but has not stated whether he will unleash the political power of the Illuminati or withhold it.  This dramatic turn of events mere months before the election could drastically shake things up.  When asked about the deaths attributed to his "deliberate creative decisions," Lucas responded, "Heck, more people died in the Clone Wars than that!"
