Best (and worst) lightsaber design?
Time

For me the worst is the ones that used to need to be plugged in, in the EU. I imagine the cords could get in the way. Probably best for me is the double light saber in Episode 1. It’d be scary to handle but would be very intimidating too.

Likewise, I’d say the worst cell phones are the ones where you had to carry a giant shoulder bag battery pack around, and the best ones are modern smart phones.

Do you hate ROTS emperor?

I think the makeup is kind of cheesy and plasticy, but it makes sense he would look different than in Jedi, considering that the scars are fresh in Sith but ~30 years old in Jedi. However, I think the notion that his appearance in Jedi necessitated a catastrophic injury is moronic, especially considering the wound was self-inflicted in Sith. Why couldn’t he just be really fucking old? It is a galaxy far far away. Maybe he was 170 or something. They could have just made McDiarmid look a little older than he actually was in the prequels.

Wow. We’re already at over 160 people asking for an invite to the private topic. The good news is that, inspired by suggestions to switch to Discord, I suddenly remembered what my day job is - I build websites! So last night I very quickly threw together a new private forum site, where nobody will be excluded for failing to post here in time, and where we can split the project up into several topics, so that all the people obsessed with the exact color of the Tantive walls can discuss it ad nauseum in a thread dedicated just to that topic, while the rest of us have the real fun reading about Turkey Sandwiches and the things that really matter.

Like the Legacy Site (which I also worked on), this one requires registration in order to see the Project forum. I’m still in the process of setting it all up, but if you want to head on over there and register, then we can start getting back to normal.

Please use the same username as you do here on OT.

Is a <em>Star Wars</em> movie your favorite movie?

I like the third and fourth ones an awful lot.

Yeah, the third one has some endearing qualities. Four I think had potential but the gears didn’t all quite mesh. Five was just, well… And Two was pretty dumb, plus Heston kind of mailed it in.

Look at Planet of the Apes. Those are all over the place in tone, and no one’s angry about them.

That’s because everyone’s all but forgotten about the sequels. Does anyone give a shit about anything Planet of the Apes beside 1968?

People seem to care about the new series of films.

I’ve been meaning to watch those eventually. Thought I should considering how much I love the original.

Edit: and the Troy McClure version of course.
