A couple of ideas for General Dodonna's briefing scene. Maybe the computer Dodonna is using has to boot up before he can begin his presentation, so everyone has to wait through an extended Windows booting up sequence superimposed onto the viewscreen.

And/or: Partway through the briefing, the presentation could crash, replaced with the dreaded "blue screen of death." But Dodonna, seemingly oblivious to the crash, continues narrating the entire presentation anyway.

Since the CGI creatures in the "Jedi Rocks" sequence look so much like characters from Fraggle Rock, why not replace the music with the Fraggle Rock theme song?

It would be great if the whole Hoth sequence was rescored with Chrismas tunes as if that's why it's been snowing and not because it's an ice panet.

It could be piped in on the Hoth-Base intercom (Like you hear in shops) and heard over the cockpit radios in the battle.

If you do go with this idea (which is an excellent one, BTW), I would highly recommend It's Christmas at Ground Zero once the Imperial attack begins.

^Agreed.

I think this little gem (or at least part[s] of it) should be harvested for dialogue.

Is it too early to be thinking about the poster? This cries out to be made ridiculous...

It already is...

You know, I was originally kidding with that last one, but what if I just used the "Dare to be stupid" sting?

Anakin is about to kill Mace?
"DARE TO BE STUPID"

Anakin says he can overthrow Sid?
"DARE TO BE STUPID"

Anakin is about to jump over high-ground Obi?
"DARE TO BE STUPID"

I love it!

Star Wars is a cash cow right? so no matter what crap we put out, the dumb masses will buy it and we'll be stinking rich!..oh, wait a minute, we already are. That kind of thinkng MAY have been behind the PT but times have moved on.

I completely disagree with this. I truly believe that George Lucas genuinely wanted the prequels to be high-quality films, and tried his hardest to make them such. Unfortunately, his own bloated ego and inadequacies as a story-teller and filmmaker got in the way and botched the enterprise. But I don't for a moment believe that they were only ever motivated by gross monetary greed.

Which, in a way, is even more pathetic, since if they were just cash-cows there would at least be an excuse.

Too bad the "11 people who actually took the time to review the fanedit over the years" are all him.

Hooray for arguments from silence!

Yup.

And after all the homebrew terrorist attacks over the last 12 months, I would say it's bordering on racist to automatically assume this is related to any Muslim organization.

Islam is a religion, not a race.

Hearing the word "sith" reminds me of everything that has been done to ruin Star Wars over the years.

I'm truly sick of this Jedi vs. X crap. It's terrible storytelling designed to appeal to babies.

Jedi, Sith/Dark Jedi, lightsabers, and "The Force" were all things used to move the plot along in the OT. That's right: they were used to move the plot along and they weren't the focus of the plot.

I guess I'm trying to say that seeing Jabba the fucking Hutt in ROTJ was a hell of a lot more interesting than seeing Yoda flipping around with a lightsaber and tossing junk with "The Force" in AOTC.

Amen to that, too.

Go comb yer hair, ya hippie.

I just hope he directs the next Batman movie!

Amen to that.

^I ask myself that every day.

Glancing over the voting results thus far, it seems "This is Madness" was an appropriate title for the tournament after all.

I think there are exceptions to that etiquette rule when another etiquette rule is avoiding language others might find offensive.  I'm not meaning to sound judgmental, but honestly I wouldn't mind not having to read that word every time I come into Off Topic.

Geeze, what a prude. You must be a religous fantic! ;)

This isn't the intro thread any more anymore. now Now it's the burn in Hell thread! Good Riddance you Star Wars puritans!!

Getting warmer! Grade: B.

However, most of us are more like Star Wars separatists than Star Wars puritans. I guess you probably fared about as well in History as you did in English.

I came back here to make an apolgy apology, but you dickwads apperently apparently think its it's funny to make fun of a guy behind his back. I've gone to lots of other Star Wars site sand sites, and they think I'm real really cool there but there. But you guys just make fun and criticize my spelling. The only cool one here is Adwyn Adywan, and he is the only reason I joined this site anyways. Blowfish says go says, "Go blow yourselfs! yourselves!"

And here you were making such progress. Grade: C.
