Here is the mathematical formula for understanding the prequels:

I blame Cthulhu.

I had a number of weird dreams last night, but I don't remember most of the details of any of them. All I can recall clearly is a part where Vincent Price was breakdancing in a brown, pinstriped suit under multicoloured disco lights.

I've added The Mask of Zorro and a complete collection of the Fleischer Superman cartoons to my collection.

Alright, now that I've seen the new concept art up close, I can safely say -- for the most part -- they leave me with a reaction of meh. Well, except for these three pieces:

These three give me happy, tingly feelings.

Good ol' IE9.

I wonder if the same string instrument was used for both.

Synthesizers don't have strings.

Well, I did hear some strings in there. Unless, of course, synthesizers can replicate the sounds of string instruments (Not being knowledgable of the full capabilities of synthesizers, I frankly don't know if that's the case.).  

^I guess that's going to be the deal with the spinoff films.

Oh, I can imagine ...

"Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture no matter what technical data they've obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe; I suggest we use it."

"Don't be too proud about this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

"Don't try to frighten us with your sorceror's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel's hidden fort --"

*forcechoke*

*forcechoking*

"You underestimate my power!"

"Enough of this! Vader -- release him!"

"But he started it!"

"Don't make me tell you again!"

"This is all Palpatine's fault! He's holding me back!"

Better, yes. I don't know if it would have been good, but definately better.

Silver Age Superman comics are stupid

Of course

But there's nothing quite as lud'crous about them

as Supergirl's horse

And in my case, non-platonically.

I liked Leslie Nielsen better as a dramatic actor.

I ate a census taker's liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. *slurpsuck*

Words fail me. Therefore ...

In lieu of further entries to this screenplay, I've decided to begin a new edition of "Assign a Face to the Name". Just like before, these posts will provide insight into how I see the various characters, the types of clothes they wear, the technology they use, etc.

Leonardo DiCaprio is still the face of Anakin. As a number of years have passed since we saw Anakin last, however, he has grown older -- taller and more muscular.

George Lucas is Gog Jukassa. Nuff said.

I see the actress Joy Tanner as the face of the Force-sensitive Rattataki clone.

To put it succinctly, I've seen her in enough roles to convince me that she has the perfect face and voice for a sociopathic, not-quite-human clone.

And just in case anyone's wondering, she isn't meant to be an analogue of Asajj Ventress; even though she's a Rattataki (the species Asajj belonged to according to the EU prior to the Nightsister business in TCW) and wields twin lightsabers, I had developed those details for the character independently and only came to notice the similarities later.

The Rattataki clone's garb.

Kannen Doom isn't an original character but an EU character from the Tag & Bink comics. The creator of Kannen based her likeness off of an actress named Drea Hoffman, so out of respect for his artistic vision, I've decided to apply it to my version of the character as well even though I haven't personally seen Ms. Hoffman in anything.

The likenesses of Nemec and Corin Duquesne are based off of those of Oskar Werner and Julie Christie.

To put a long story (relatively) short, one day I realized that Ms. Christie could have made a good alternative template to based Nashira off of in place of Jane Fonda. Following that, I figured her likeness would be the perfect likeness for Nashira's mother instead, as both actresses share enough physical features to pass as relatives. Following that, I realized Mr. Werner would work well as Nashira's father, since he and Christie co-starred in the film adaptation of Fahrenheit 451, a movie I enjoyed immensely.

And yes, if the names "Corin" and "Nemec" ring any bells, it's because I lifted them from the actor Corin Nemec, who played the unpopular character Jonas Quinn on Stargate SG-1.

Same as with Anakin far above, Jane Fonda is still the face of Nashira, only older and -- ahem -- fuller.

Krath soldiers and assault ships.

Krath war 'droids.

The visual appearance of the armour worn by the Sith lady was inspired by the armour worn by Flint, a Sith lord from the old Marvel comics.

Vici, Veni, and Taniss are all EU characters from the short story "The Most Dangerous Foe". As I like the story and am eagre to insert cameos and references to the more obscure EU characters into my screenplays, I felt it would be nice to incorporate them into the Great Sith War flashback. 

The "omni-spectral visor" worn by Logan Halcyon is obviously based on the visor worn by Geordi LaForge from Star Trek: TNG -- specifically the iridescent visor worn during the original wardrobe/makeup test above (Logan himself, of course, looks nothing the man above. XD).

I'd call it a "complacent, weak-willed Republic" myself.

I can't, for the life of me, figure out what emotion the winky-frowny emoticon is supposed to express.

If ;-) indicates non-seriousness, then ;-( indicates semi-seriousness.

That's how I use it, anyway.

Given Mr. Ford's comments about wanting Han to have died in Return of the Jedi, I begin to strongly suspect that the only way they lured him back to make Episode 7 was to give him a suitable death for his character.

Nah, they won't kill Han; they'll just de-age him into Shia LaBoeuf. 

So not only did OT.com have multiple skins at one time, but polls too?!

I'm starting to think this site is suffering from a counter-clock incident.

I just looked more closely at the links in the Wookieepedia article and noticed that "slicing off" linked to its own article, called "Cho Sun", which is "the act of cutting off an opponent's weapon arm" according to the article.* "Cutting off" links to the article on dismemberment, which also gives the examples of "[c]ho mok was the act of cutting off an opponent's limb, usually the leg. Mou kei was a variant generally forbidden by the Jedi since it involved cutting through several limbs at once."

Sometimes it's hard to take Wookieepedia seriously....

*Obi-Wan is noted to have "performed cho sun at least four times".
