I love that this thread is not centered on the absolutely nonsensical “I am your father” death-knell to any semblance of SW continuity, but instead to this bizarre obscurantist, interpretive trivia.
The concept must at least exist, as Luke mentions it.
*THREEPIO Is there anything I might do to help? Luke glances at the battered robot. A bit of his anger drains and a tiny smile creeps across his face. LUKE Well, not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport me off this rock!*I’ve always taken that as proof that those things don’t exist in the SW galaxy. Luke said it jokingly, knowing it was impossible. The concept of those things exists, but in a sci-fi/fantasy way. That’s my reading/canon anyway.
Yes, but IIRC, Threepio’s answer in the novel implies the technology does exist, or at least the study of it…
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Transatomic_physicsI’d imagine if the tech existed, Threepio would have at least elementary knowledge of it.
…and he’d SAY he was an expert on it!
“Aaaaaahhhhh!!!”, Luke screamed, as he fell from the platform. The Emperor heard this through his connection with the force, probably, and considered, “What a marvelous scream. If I were to fall down such a shaft, heaven forbid, I too would like to scream like that.”
ALLOL!
Ditto that.
A certain Mr. R. McAvoy is on absolute fire in the Trench Run thread.
Govern yourselves accordingly.
I dig 'em.
You could fill a house with just these.
Maybe someone could, but not me.
Too many bishoujo figures already in the way…
You guys are getting trolled by a shtick. Just enjoy it.
WY, etc.
Hmmm…
Matte painting and model don’t match because it’s a different trench.
…or…
Matte painting and model don’t match because it’s a movie.
By the way… It’s crazy to think that nearly everybody still thinks that the YT-1300 freighter that we first see in this shot:
…is the Millennium Falcon.
In fact if you watch that scene again you’ll notice that it is never referred to as such in the actual scene. A shoot out occurs where Han kills some Stormtroopers and then we see a long shot of a different YT-1300 freighter leaving Mos Eisley in this shot:
How do we know this? Because the unnamed ship in the hangar does not have the distinctive radar dish that we see in all other shots of the Falcon. I bet you never noticed it before but it’s as clear as day. Obviously Han and co did a quick switch of ships to put the Imperials off the scent.
This here? This here’s damn near the perfect post respectin’ this p’ticular topic.
Ugh, it’s some EU thing crossed with a PT thing.
…starring…Mary Sue herself!!!
Well, prolly nobody here is a fan of…CARRIE FISHER
but I’ll post this just in case. New poster is Leia in Empire Hoth drag.
Available until Jan. 29.
Also the fearsome fuzzball himself, Wickett W. Westchesterheimerminster.
I legitimately used to have somewhere in the neighbourhood of twenty-to-thirty cats from 2005-2007.
Suffice it to say, no one in my family ever bothered taking Bob Barker’s advice to heart.
Yeah or else they woulda neutered you, huh?
Those cats woulda been spared a lotta grief!
an actual climax that pays off.
Oh hi there, Trump supporter.
Whoa there, buddy.
I may jerk to some anime on occasion…throughout any given day…but your last aspersion just goes too far!
Okay so putting those shenanigans behind us, since the thread is bumped, I’m going to point out that One-Punch Man is
and lives up to the hype. One of very few long-form series that manages to build all the way through to an actual climax that pays off. And holy shit does this one pay off.
And the blu-rays have English subtitles, so it’s totally importable.
Someone talked to someone who said something about someone…
I am sure there are Trump’s supporters who masturbate to anime, but no doubt there are many more of them who supported Hillary.
So…more Chump supporters support Hillary than beat it to anime? Can I get a WUT WUT???
And he should learn how to pronounce anime. The sound is a as in father.
Oh, and anyone who says “AH-nee-may” is hereby sentenced to…well…
being someone who says “AH-nee-may”.
And if there’s ANYONE who knows about ‘batin’ to a lit’l o’ th’old anime, it’s this guy:
Terrible.
Repetitive.
Plus boring.
Seriously, even the names are getting recycled now?
Episode IX: Revenge of the Phantom Clone Empire…AWAEKENZ!
I hope the whole franchise takes a new direction with a moody, atmospheric character study focused on everybody’s favorite character but George’s"
Star Wars Episode VIII: Cantina Wolfman Blues
I thought the ktch noise was the other trooper initializing his radio.
Yeah, that was the other possibility but the timing makes me lean toward it being the helmet impact. Sounds just like their armor as well.
Not a chance. Nobody noticed it, and if they did, they hoped the audience wouldn’t because they’d be focused on Threepy. So it just snuck into the film as an Easter egg.
Yeah, I can’t watch the movie without that line in it. It’s my favorite gag in the film.
It, along with the stormtrooper bashing his head off the door only to later have the sound effect added.
Did they really do this?
I remember the first time I noticed that guy smack his helmed forehead, probably on approx. my 75th viewing of the film.
Ever since, I can’t see anything else.
God that actor musta felt like an asshole. It probably really hurt—he hits that shit pretty hard!
Woops, and because the OT.com double-post feature is forcing me to take another crack at it, how’s about:
The Emancipation of Snaggletooth
In keeping with your suggestion, I’d say:
Stimpy Strikes Back
Good riddance.
Circuses are even more depressing than zoos.
Plus, you know…clowns.
“Ur” was a Sumerian city-state from ancient Mesopotamia, not a legitimate spelling of “your/you’re”.
Ur a Sumerian city-state from ancient Mesopotamia.
ok stop now
A friend of mine is going through regular physical therapy on her knee and over text messages she always abbreviates it PT. So when she texts me and says she’s not looking forward to PT I always have to resist the urge to say “yeah the OT is much better” because apparently “the first five times were enough”. Women, amirite
That would be (unintentionally?) appropriate, since OT would seem to stand for “Occupational Therapy” in that context, which just happens to be used frequently in tandem with “PT”.
