My friend?

It’s also bullshit for the simple fact that I don’t like it. I don’t like anything that reinforces the RGB lightsaber colour scheme.

But that’s a discussion for another thread in another subforum, so I’ll end talk of it here.

I can see Palpatine using a lightsaber the same way a Satanist might use a crucifix – to profane the “Jedi weapon” by using it to non-Jedi ends.

For that to work, though, it would have to be a lightsaber taken from a Jedi, not one he built himself.

Maybe they just have sonic showers like in Star Trek and it works on clothes too.

They do.

David Bowie’s Labyrinth bulge was scary when I was a child but as I grew older I began to appreciate it for what it was. It’s the Christmas tree effect: the perception of size is relative to the space you occupy so when you’re a child the Christmas tree is a towering behemoth, but as you grow physically larger it becomes increasingly less intimidating and eventually you realize you were wrong all along: It was never so huge, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

I feel my relationship with the bulge has developed along similar lines. I would string lights and tinsel on it and put a gift or two underneath it for closure but sadly his bulge is in Heaven.

It’s true. All of it.

I’ve made the finishing touches to this script. No significant revisions, mind you – just the requisite minor corrections/subtractions/additions to scrape away the barnacles I failed to catch during the serialization.

Here is the link to the finalized draft for those interested:

Funny how nobody – absolutely nobody – complained about Shaw-as-Anakin not making any sense/being confusing until the Hayden change was introduced.

Because up until a year a two before he was added, nobody knew what a young Anakin looked like. It’s a retroactive plot hole, but an inevitable one, when making the Prequels.

So in your mind, the octogenarian standing with Yoda and Ben at the end of pre-'04 versions of ROTJ was meant to represent a young Anakin? ROTFLMAO.

I wish you’d just admit you prefer Hayden in ROTJ because you were introduced to SW through the PT & SEs; I’d respect your opinion were that the case. Instead you resort to post hoc fanwanking, which only makes you look foolish and silly.

Anakin Starkiller said:

To me, Shaw as Anakin is a plot hole.

LOL redux.

And yet you post in a human language instead of binary.

Ah, yes, “reasons”.

1. Jedi use Ilum crystals, which only come in blue and green. Sith use synthetic crystals, which only come in red.
2. Jedi sentinels use blue crystals while Jedi consulars use green.
3. Kyber crystal colours reflect the affiliation/temperament of their users.

Blah blah blah bullshit.

Aesthetics and symbolism are the only valid reasons for any lightsaber colour.

So…they already doubled their efforts once?

redouble

verb | re·dou·ble | \ (ˌ)rē-ˈdə-bəl \

It’s time for me to come clean with you guys…I’ve never seen the unaltered OT.

And yet you still argue that Hayden in ROTJ makes more sense than Shaw.

LOL

Since Luke’s green lightsaber is one of the better elements* of ROTJ, I’d prefer it not be re-coloured blue.

*Divorced from the nonsense of the prequels, Luke’s green lightsaber signifies his individuality and distinctiveness from the Jedi who came before him.

Funny how nobody – absolutely nobody – complained about Shaw-as-Anakin not making any sense/being confusing until the Hayden change was introduced.

Mocata said:

Okay so this may be a fake memory type of thing, but has Moff Jerjerrod ever said ‘we shall redouble our efforts’ ? I sometimes still think about this in that opening scene.

I used to hear it as “redouble” myself.

Retcon TPM into being an in-universe Z-movie made by the GFFA’s equivalent of Ulli Lommel. From there … *shrug*

Those were groundbreaking effects back in the day. . . .

I appreciate E. T. for its technical achievements. Beyond that, I don’t like the film.

I consider King one of my favourite authors, though I haven’t read most of his novels; I pretty much became a fan through his short story collections.

Here are the King novels I’ve read:

• Carrie
• The Shining
• Rage
• The Long Walk
• Firestarter
• The first seven Dark Tower books
• Pet Sematary
• The Talisman
• The Eyes of the Dragon
• Misery
• Insomnia
• Desperation
• The Regulators
• Doctor Sleep

Of those twenty novels, I liked The Shining, Rage, The Long Walk, Dark Tower I, Pet Sematary, and Misery the most. The others … well, I suppose Dark Tower II-IV and Eyes of the Dragon were decent, but the rest were meh to bad.

STAR TREK: PLANET OF JUDGMENT: JOE HALDEMAN

The first couple chapters are quite interest-piquing, but the novel quickly plateaus thereafter. Not a bad novel by any means – it would’ve made an above-average episode – but there’s little payoff for the initial mystique.

FLOW MY TEARS, THE POLICEMAN SAID: PHILIP K. DICK

PROS

• It’s the Twilight Zone episode “Person or Persons Unknown” crossed with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
• It’s a quick read.

CONS

• The main protagonist is a materialistic, hedonistic douchebag.
• The supporting characters aren’t any better.

My final analysis: There’re better PKD books out there. Unless you’re a diehard PKD fan, skip this one.
