Midichlorians? What is wrong with those things? They are what let people control the Force to begin with, right?

Probably the individual developers. Lucasarts arent talented enough to make the starwars games by themselves, so each developer gets its own two dactaries to which consoles the games go.

Like Factor5 had an exclusive deal with Nintendo, and I think Microsoft owns part of BioWare. Or maybe there is just an exclusivity deal.

Come on. The Phantom Menace wasn't that bad.

Why can't we reserve our movie bashing to truly awful movies like Kill Bill, Rocky and Bullwinkle, or Eurotrip?

Actually I hear Super Bombad Racing wasn't that bad. But.. yeah.. the Gungan motif could get to ya'

Wow. I never really thought of it, but the PS2 does really have a dearth of good Starwars Games. Then again, so does the GBA.

But some would argue that it doesn't have a great story.

Or that it isn't verywell told.

But that isn't me. I just think some of the dialogue--especially the one-liners--in Attack of the Clones is incredibly annoying, and the fireplace scene was horrible. And some of the shots of Coruscant look fake, especcially durning the chase scene.

Yes.. And I'm pretty sure most of us have plenty of experience watching movies.

Now.. to play devil's advocate for a minute... What is it about CG that makes it so obvious. I mean--even "photorealistic" CG like in The Matrix Revolutions and AotC still doesn't look normal. So why is that? I can't figure it out.

Well, technically, the place that he told Kenobi that was in his own cafe...

Sorry, just being a smartass... I would have to look at the DVD to find the real answer, and I can't be bothered right now...

OOPS.. I forgot my "from". How embarrassng.

Yes it has. But it can backfire when not used properly.

For example: The CGI Jabba in the SE of ANH. I am not really against showing Jabba, but in 1997 CGI just wasn't advanced enough, and It makes the scene very distracting, especially when Han starts clipping Jabba. (After he walks behind him. He leans toward the actor, but it is too far for the Jabba model.)

CGI free's filmakers up but it can be overused. There was no reason to have the droids in Dexter's Cafe in AotC made of CGI. And Yoda being CGI is pointlessly dis-continuous. Yoda's skin isn't supposed to be that shiny, and he isn't supposed to be able to move that much.
And it probably wouldn't bother anybody if he had been CG from the begginning, (If the technology existed in '79) but the Puppets look so different it's hard not to notice.

It wasn't

--but neither were the names of Alaya Secura, Mon Mothma, Oola, Bossk, ect.

But those are all official, and not made up by the EU. I suppose anything not created specifically by the EU (Like Mara Jade, Thrawn, ect)
is fair game.

But EU stuff is on the Starwars Website, so I don't understand why it isn't fair game.

As for my question..

Hmm..

Q.This pertains to an earlier question that was never answered completely correctly: A planet mentioned in the movies we overlooked earlier. Where did Dexter Jetster tell Kenobi he recognized the dart Jango usued to assassinate the Changling? He said he was prospecting there.

Incom is correct and right. I suppose that was a little too easy.

Um.. Is the "Fawlty Towers" a movie or TV show.. or an actual hotel? What is it? What is funny about them?

Nintendo insists that the DS won't be called "Gameboy" Anything. But it is Backward compatible with GB games.. so.. Yeah.

And nobody says you need to buy both systems to take advantage of the connectivity. Just buy both for the games and if you want, take advantage of the connectivity. I never/rarely link my GBA to my 'Cube.

And If you don't want to spend 70-100 dollars for a GBA you can get the $50 gameboy player, which plugs into the bottom of the gamecube.

Actually, I don't remember the first time I saw the Phantom Menace. The second time I saw it was Father's day 1999. All I remember is I really liked it. And that day, my mother had just told us of her decision to shut down the family business (a pizza restaraunt) and I remember that when Shmi was talking about things changing, I was thinking "yeah.. yu'aint kidding"

I watched TMP again last week.

I still can't figure out why it is so reviled.

Er.. I have never understood Uncle Sam either. I don't think he was based on a real person. It is hard for me to understand how advertisers thought back then! It makes no sense. Why would some old guy dressed in the Flag Colors make people more likely to join the military?

The GBA Link will link Metroid Prime to Metroid Fusion. If you beat Fusion and link them, you get to play the original Metroid on the GC.

If you beat Prime, you get to play it with the Fusion suit from MF.

And if you link Zero Mission with Fusion, you can unlock the Samus image galleries in Fusion.

And to anybody who doesnt have a GBA.. you really oughta get one. It freakin' rules! And it is cheaper than a PS2.

Ah, Bossk. Yes it is much closer.. But it is not the majority, is it?

Good work, Starkiller.

The Collectors Zelda that came with the $99 dollar gamecube didn't have A Link to the Past because Nintendo didn't want it to cut into the sales of the GBA version. They aren't as stupid as they look.

They announced Halo 2 last year.. or was it 2002. There was certainly no doubt it would be at E3 this year.

Yeah, but what if you had spent all of Monday/ Tuesday/Wednesday inside your house with the TVs and radios off and just forgot...and were supposed to be in London within the next two weeks for important business and couldn't go because you forgot to vote.

That would suck.
