The following is quite possibly the most visceral, heartwrenching dream I’ve ever had. As such, I’d like to go in-depth in relating its sequences of events. As certain parties for certain reasons would take umbrage if I did so, however, I will defer to brevity in this instance.

D**** and Laura Bertram were combined into a single woman, whom I shall identify as Launia. Launia and I were soulmates yet not lovers, much to my chagrin. Launia married the veritable twin of Ricky Mabe. Together they had a son. This son, whom I loved as if he were my own flesh and blood, grew up to become a pyrokinetic mass murderer; various Marvel superheroes were out to capture him.

Easily rectified.

“ize” is cooler than “ise”.

The British method of writing out dates makes so much more sense than the North American.

I think this thread leaves me in need of emotional support more than anything else in life right now. Seriously, knowing anyone can feel so misanthropic is harrowing.

That was an exhibition of existential horror I’ll not soon forget. And vanilla ice cream of all things? Bleech.

^Okay, this made me ALLOL.

Annatto. Duh.

That’s a fitting euphemism, yes.

In an ideal world, copyrights would automatically expire with no hope for renewal after thirty years. That’s time enough for the creators to make money off their creations; then it rightly belongs to the public.

Leia shot first.

She had a penis?

Leia shot first.

“I call upon you in the name of Father Lancaster Merrin.”

“How did you find me?”

“I saw you in the mind of a girl who was possessed by Pazuzu.”

“She is still in danger of dreams.”

“How can I help her?”

“Which girl would you help? The one possessed by Pazuzu or the one held by Father Merrin? You must pluck out her evil heart, but Pazuzu has brushed you with his wings. You called on Pazuzu to reach me. You have lost faith in your God. You do not believe.”

“I do believe! I do! I’d do anything to help Regan! Anything!”

“Then prove your faith. Cross over.”

“My faith is in Jesus Christ reborn.”

“Prove it. Cross over. Step out of your despair. If Pazuzu comes for you, I will spit a leopard.”

Not a single post on-topic yet. Frink, you urged them to take it here and now you come here and post off-topic stuff.

I mean…is there really anything more to post on the subject that wasn’t already discussed in the other thread?

Argh, now you’ve done it. How long before ATM comes in and posts one of his long

Uh, maybe?

Remember this 1975 Ralph McQuarrie sketch of Luke and Leia as identical blondes?

The 1975 third draft reintroduced Princess Leia as a character, after her near total absence in the second draft… where Leia’s role in the film we know as taken by Luke’s older brother.

As awkward as the whole Leia-sister reveal in ROTJ is – mainly because during production of ESB she was very definitely not Luke’s sister – Lucas probably did consider having them be half-siblings while making the first film. And having them carry on a romantic relationship despite that.

Further circumstantial evidence:

There are strong Arthurian parallels with Ben Kenobi’s character in the 1975 third draft: he has a mechanical right hand, like the one-handed Bedivere, the knight who returned Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake after King Arthur fell to Mordred in the Battle of Camlann. Ben, as custodian of Anakin’s sword, plays a similar role, in this case after Anakin fell to Vader in the Battle of Condawn.

Besides being Bedivere to Anakin’s Arthur, Ben also plays the role of Merlin for the new generation of heroes. And Merlin failed to stop Arthur from having sex with his own half-sister Morgause, which is what led to Mordred’s birth.

Incest between half-siblings of different ages also features in the story of Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle, where it’s blonde lookalike siblings Siegmund and Sieglinde who confess their love for one another and get it on, resulting in the birth of the hero Siegfried.

Wagner famously called his Ring Cycle “a trilogy with a prelude”. In 1975 Lucas told Alan Dean Foster he envisioned Star Wars as a trilogy of films about Luke and “the Skywalker family”, along with a single prequel movie, the same structure as Wagner’s opera cycle.

So basically Lucas was looking at and incorporating into SW a lot of ideas from stories which also feature quite prominently a brother and sister getting it on.

Not conclusive… but definitely thought-provoking.

Dammit.

I asked a friend of mine if the dish being in the center really mattered, and he said no, because it’s a very minor goof.

Thanks, we’ve all been on the edge of our seats waiting for your friend’s opinion on this matter.

Such a relief. And now I can finally die.

FTFM

Barely hyperbolic. It’s the 25 year-old laserdiscs they’d put in instead of the bluray.

I was referring specifically to the “Betamax” bit. I know you’re not being hyperbolic about the silly preference for LaserDiscs; I even remember the post you’re referring to.
