I figured you were joking. However, I decided to err on the side of caution in the unlikely case I was mistaken.

George Puke-is and Rick the D*#k ruined what could have been an AMAZING fictional era.
^She lost her baby fat and went from strangely hot to simply plain.
Had I any kids, I'd give them a dino-shitload of SW graphic novels/trade paperbacks. Since I don't, though, I'd give those things to MYSELF =B
^That's probably one of the few stories set in that era that I actually consider canon these days.

Possessing Piper Rose (2011)
The only good thing about this made-for-TV piece of shit is the fine piece of ass that is Rebecca Romijn, and I'm not even the type of person who usually judges a film by how attractive/unattractive a main cast member is.
4/10
Imaginary Playmate (2006)
With better editing, direction, tighter writing, and perhaps a bigger budget, this could have been a great horror film in the same mold as The Changeling. Alas, its a typical by-the-numbers TV film, so it falls predictably flat.
5/10

Since I only know two Alanis songs, it's either talking about irony or her doing things to Dave Coulier. ;-)
BOO-URNS!

The first time I ever saw SW was back to back with Empire in April 81'---and whilst I don't remember the content of the crawl I do remember seeing the crawl!------and this is the point----the advent of home video from the early 1980's onwards has allowed an entire generation to analyse every frame of a movie like SW to the point of saturation.
SW was never designed to be seen that many times----Lucas even says as much in the DVD commentary------the prequels on the other hand---being made in an era where home video was firmly established have been created with the "pause,slo-mo and rewind" generation in mind---hence why every frame is densily packed with visual info.
This may well be some of the most retarded stuff I have ever read on this forum, and I am used to hanging out in the Off Topic section, so that is saying a lot!
I guess the truth hurts huh?
You guess? You don't know?
Can you please stop posting portraits of your husband in response to my posts?
Thank you.
I'd appreciate it if you'd stop confusing my husband with my catamite.
Thank you.
I imagine Anakin - as a fourteen-year-old teenager, before Obi-Wan takes him as his apprentice - as looking rather lean, clean-shaven, with longish blond hair, in white/gray clothes similar to Luke's in ANH. Later, as a Jedi in his 20s, I see him more refined, with neater, combed hair and a simple close-fitting black outfit like Luke's in ROTJ, but with an overall similar lean physique. As an older man, though, in his 40s, I see him as heavier, with more muscle/fat, and more rugged; his hair is closely cropped, his skin weathered and scarred in places, he goes unshaven, and he wears heavy dark clothing reminiscent of Exar Kun's and Ulic Qel-Droma's robes. In every variation, I see Anakin played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
With Obi-Wan, as a young twenty-year-old man, just before he meets Anakin, I imagine him as he is pictured in most of the TPM concept art, with long black hair, in black robes, and clean shaven. As the years go by, Obi-Wan begins to look more and more like his ANH self, growing a beard as his hair grows shorter and grayer. I still picture Ewan MacGregor as the younger Obi-Wan.
I picture Mother Skywalker (Anakin's wife, not mother, BTW) as looking like a young Jane Fonda with red hair. I imagine her to have a rather innocent demeanor.
Palpatine I picture as a young, passionate, charismatic man, in his late 20s-early 30s, who seems to radiate with confidence. I picture him to look a lot like Gaspard Ulliel, but with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Mace Windu I see as being the same aloof prick he is in the films, but played by Djimon Hounsou rather than Sam Jackson.
*serious face ON*
Okay, guys, enough is enough. Sure, Alanis may have provided examples of irony that weren't very ironic, to say the least. So what? Doesn't everyone fumble the grammatical ball every now and then? And anyway, this little game of mockery is getting old. Why act as if this is still 1995, as if Alanis hasn't released anything since? The girl has written many more songs and released many more albums since "Ironic" first debuted, so can't you comment on any of those? Has no one any kind words for the upbeat "So Pure", which pays tribute to her dance pop days, or the melancholy "Flinch", with its heartbreaking Country Rock style? Or perhaps disdain for "Knees of My Bees", which is pure senselessness at it's worst (or best, depending on how you perceive things) or "Are You Still Mad?" with its incessant whininess? Must we stay in a needlessly irreverent rut?
*serious face OFF*
Alanis' son was born on Christmas; imagine all the presents he's bound to get.

I always found ESB:SE to be the least offensive of the three. Not that it's a high bar to jump over...
Except when you get to the part with Luke screaming. LOL.
That's got to be the second worst alteration present in the SE '97 after making Greedo shoot first. George must have been high or drunk when he came up with that little gem.

I read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia, and frankly it sounds rather meh to me.

Fixed.

I've actually drawn skyjedi out of his shell! It's been - what - months since he's last posted?
I feel powerful, now, like my fingers are charged with potent energy. This must be how it feels like to be God.
