What the fuck
Just my own way of saying racial differences are only superficial and anyone who’d consider interracial admixture wrong/evil/bestiality/etc. are bigoted dumbshits who don’t deserve to breed.
For the first time in over a decade, the American Bar Association has rated a federal judge nominee “not qualified”. I expect that slow pace should pick up over the next few years.
I totally read that as “American Bear Association” and almost thought this was about Trumpy Bear.
No self-respecting bear would associate with that orange bastard.
The only thing I can think of (and this applies to the entire trilogy) is for it to be R rating material.
Mind you, I love the OT as it is. However, I always imagine an alternate universe where the lightsaber doesn’t cauterize wounds, blasters result in bloody sprays, the Rancor graphically devours its victims, Jabba’s eyes pop out when Leia kills him, etc. Obviously I would never expect exploitation-type violence, just something in the line of Conan, the Alien franchise or John Carpenter’s films.
Essentially such a scenario would have prevented the franchise to become what it is now, albeit the films would still get a much deserved cult following.
While I don’t see how weapons utilizing superheated plasma could leave behind bloody injuries, this.
I also would’ve liked some more sexual content in the series. I’m not saying we needed any sex scenes, but some nudity wouldn’t have hurt.
Edit by moderator - picture removed.
A misunderstanding on what the poster put in his text and picture.
I think DuracellEnergizer meant to say that people who consider interracial relationships as ‘wrong/evil/bestiality/etc. are bigoted dumbshits who don’t deserve to breed.’
Unfortunately, the original post here didn’t quite reflect that (as clarified by DuracellEnergizer futher below) - hence this edit.
Yeah, I always thought TPM was the only one of the prequels that actually looks like a SW movie (or like a movie at all in general, for that matter).
shame on you!!
But he’s not wrong.
Silly Canadian, us Americans don’t have ehs!

You just pronounce it wrong.
also, are Canadians always that happy?
I listen to grunge. What does that tell you?
Yeah but it’s probably very polite grunge.
Up ur eh.

I paid for my own thanks, thank you very much.
So that’s what they call sex for money these days.
This thread is no longer new, but it is definitely improved.
Funny. When I check that source, all I find is “Imp’scum’s a lying POS.”.
You can’t handle the truth.
I AM the truth…
So saith Satan.
But, here’s an alternative idea I haven’t seen brought up here yet: what about introducing the shadow troopers?
These guys have armor like your standard stormtroopers, so no alterations to the armor is needed, except they are black (or I’ve sometimes seen very dark gray). Could be relatively easy, too, to adjust the hue of the originally white armor in an editor (for sure easier than adding camo frame-by-frame). Then for shooting extra scenes during the battle, most of the extra Imperial troopers could possibly already be wearing this type of armor; I’m sure there are many good ones out there created by fans.I just love the idea of there being a visual difference from the standard stormtroopers and the Emperor’s “best troops” (assuming his dialogue is left as is, and not condensed to be "An entire legion* of troops awaits them). If Krennic has his death troopers, I believe the Emperor would have certainly hand-picked a selection of “best” soldiers to have custom armor too.
So with this idea for having shadow troopers, A) the black (or very dark gray) will hide them a lot better in a forest environment than white (which was the reason for suggesting camo to start with), B) keeps true with the Empire having primarily white/black armor (which goes along with those who made points against camo armor), and C) of course it would add that extra element of ‘badass’ during the battle.
With that in mind, I believe there should still be some regular white scout/stormtroopers on the moon. Could actually be very interesting to see ordinary stormtroopers being overshadowed (pun not intended) by the prowess and aggressiveness of the Emperor’s “shadow troopers”.
(*) This has been brought up before long ago, but should the Emperor say “legion”? Instead should it be just “garrison” perhaps? Legion sounds overly large, unless of course he was purposefully exaggerating to Luke in hopes of getting him riled up any way possible - If so, I’d buy that for a dollar. So I guess I could go either way about this.
This I like. I’ve loved the shadow troopers since I first saw them in the Crimson Empire comics.

Maybe it’s airborne and we all could catch it.
Do not worry. You have not managed to catch the truth in all this time, despite my best effort. Apparently you are immune to the truth.
Good. Fuck the truth.
Can we elect Jani-wan as the new emperor of the site? He’s always right…someone wise, who makes us all agree! I know he’d be welcomed with thunderous applause!
Im the bad guy, huh?
“Always right”, huh?
Feel free to prove me wrong on anything I said. No one stops you. On the contrary. I would even welcome that, since these arguments are what make projects benefit the most. These are the ones that clear things up, so when it comes to decisions, all the best information is available.
I don’t care if Im right or wrong. I only care about the product. Unlike you.People who resort to irrelevant personal attacks without actually debating the content of an argument, are either unable to argue, because they are wrong, or not smart enough to argue, and unable to accept what they are.
Seems like you decided you are one of those people, instead of trying to help the project. Too bad.Or maybe some of us don’t want to muck up ady’s thread with an off topic debate that we’ve already had a million times before?
Stop adding nothing just acid. We’re as tripped-out as we can go.
am I the only one to think that Richard Marquand was not a good director at all ?
I found Jagged Edge a boring, predictable waste of 108 minutes, but I haven’t seen anything else he made.
Maybe it’s airborne and we all could catch it.
Perish forbid.
I’m sober, but often wish I wasn’t. On the other hand, I don’t want my liver to go to shit, so I’d refuse to drink often even were the opportunity available to me.
It’s a catch-22, man.
if they can manage to drop MacFarlane, this will be a good show.

Every single one of husezni’s posts made me want to punch babies.
Actually, just one baby in particular: the one with his face on it.
Hopefully he’s the baby and he didn’t actually breed. I’d feel sorry for the world and the child both.

Since I embarked on this grand endeavour of mine to re-write the prequels, when it came to envisioning certain actors as certain characters, I always went the timeless route – ie. I’d pick whichever actors I felt best suited the characters, whether they were contemporaneous or not, etc.
However, lately I came to wonder who I’d cast if I had to work with actors who were alive specifically when the actual PT was filmed – alive, and the right ages to play their allotted characters. As I have (undiagnosed) OCD, this idea took root and just wouldn’t let me alone. Thus I felt compelled to abandon my fanciful timeless cast list and come up with something more grounded.
TPM was filmed in 1997; AOTC in 2000; ROTS in 2003. Who was around in those years? Who could’ve believably portrayed the characters as I conceived them? Here’s my new list.
CAST OF A NEW DAWN
- Kenneth Branagh as Obi-Wan Kenobi (holdover from my original list)
- Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars (holdover)
- Sarah Gadon as Nashira DuQuesne
- Lance Henriksen as Pre Vizsla (holdover)
- Iman as Adi Gallia
- Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu (holdover)
- Ewan McGregor as Qui-Gon Jinn
- Alannah Myles as Zul Danaan (holdover)
- Nichelle Nichols as Lwa (holdover)
- Lindsay Wagner as Nellith Skywalker
- Jimmy Smits as Capt. Bail Organa (holdover)
- Naomi Watts as Siri Tachi (holdover)
- Illya Woloshyn as Anakin Skywalker
- Catherine Zeta-Jones as Cmdr. Raia Vaness
CAST OF KNIGHT OF THE EMPIRE
- Pernilla August as Shmi Warka (holdover)
- Christian Bale as Anakin Skywalker
- Jane Fonda as Corin DuQuesne
- Bob Gunton as Chlorian Vader
- Laurie Holden as LUH-3417 (holdover)
- Cameron Bright as Darth Vader
- Jeremy Irons as Marka Ragnos
- Temuera Morrison as Cmdr. Jango Cody (holdover)
- Gregory Peck as Emperor Cos Dashit
- Wayne Pygram as Lt. Cmdr. Wilhuff Tarkin
- Mary Lynn Rajskub as Kathe Naad (holdover)
- Robert Redford as Nemec DuQuesne
- Ray Wise as Atha Prime
- John Schneider as THX-1138 (holdover)
- Dean Stockwell as UIY-5241/SN-2249 (holdover)
- Joy Tanner as Dahlia Karin
- Keegan Connor Tracy as Nykres Eikhan
- Amy Adams as Nashira DuQuesne
CAST OF A LOST HOPE
- This one I’ll save for a later date.
Not a flawless list, to be sure. Sarah Gadon didn’t actually begin her career until 1998, one year after filming of TPM wrapped up; Jane Fonda was retired during the '90s; and who likes recasts? Still, it saites the OCD.
