YouTube/Vimeo/etc... Star Wars finds — Page 2

Leave the Praxis rings to Praxis. :p

Oh yeah there is yet another Star Trek vs Star Wars and, that too has a special edition.

Original Version
Special edition


Yep, the special edition gremlins get to everything it seems.

^Some of the comments are amazing...ly geeky. :p Turbolaser this, Borg that, etc, etc... Haha.

^ Well don't you know that within an hour of a Borg cube reaching the Death Star stationing itself on the other side away from the laser, It'd assimilate the entire structure? This estamate is conclusively determined via observation of the Star Trek episode Regeneration. Wherein the flagship Enterprise gets assimilated by Borg Technology. It only takes about a minute to assimilate the structure. Given an estamate that the CGI Enterprise is 10 football fields in area. We can conclude that ¼ of the Death Star should be assimilated within the first half-hour. Given the exponential rate of growth for Borg nano-tech. It stands to reason that the next sections should be overtaken within a ½ time as the preceeding section. Therefore 15 minutes later from previous ¼ takeover the Death Star should be ½ borg sphere. Consequently, 7.5 minutes later it should be a Borg Sphere.


(Seriously though, I'm just sleep deprived and, just making all this up. I'm likely completely wrong. I'de be suprised if I'm right.)

Well, technically, none of it is right. :p Maybe in a few hundred years. Haha.

P.S. I've had Starcrash for a long time and it's on my to watch list. Thanks for the reminder.

'THE HUMANOID' was another Italian 'STAR WARS'-influenced movie, which came out a year later.  While 'STARCRASH' had a score by the great John Barry, this one happened to have a score by the equally great Ennio Morricone!

It's never been released on DVD (only videotape) but it seems to be fully up on Youtube if you root around, and can bear it.

Sadly, I can't seem to find the trailer for it, but here's a taste of what audiences at the time had to put up with to fill their 'STAR WARS' void until 'EMPIRE' came along....

I also have The Humanoid and haven't watched it yet. Haha. :p

I've now re-typed the *proper* clip I meant to show in my first example above Ripplin.  Check it out!  Even adywan couldn't save this movie.  :)

Such a nice Lite Brite galaxy. :p

^Space Battleship Yamato was a huge influence on many Japanese movies, it seems. Plus, it's probably cheap to film inside one and say it's sci-fi.

What is it with Japan and spaceships that look like seagoing vessels anyway?

Dunno, but they're probably gonna go ape for *this* at the end of the year -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTuPK66J300

Impressive! (most impressive, yeah yeah...) I can't imagine how much planning and practice went into it. :)

I keep wondering what’s in the can? Looks like Jar, Jar Binks meat!

Jar Jar Binks now being served at galaxy 5 star class restaurant near you.

I'd feel bad eating a sentient creature, no matter how annoying it is. :p

SENTINENT MEANING SELF AWARE! Very few other animals are such. Egad, you and Pinky would get along Mr Frink.

"Cognitus, ergo sum" my friend. I'm a laboratory rat whose genes have been spliced. Humans do not typically eat self-aware beings, such as the dolphin.
