^LOL. That I know who this loser is makes it all the funnier.

That incubus sure is horny =P

Well, it seems I'm not going to get very far with this thread. I'm not blaming you guys, though; I realize you guys aren't that knowledgeable on this aspect of SW. I suppose I'll just take this thread on over to TFN once they've finished revamping their forums - if anyone knows their EU, it's them. I'm not exactly keen on doing so, though. :grimace:

Or "Huyck, Huyck" if you want a more Star Warsy effect =P

You want to see ragged scar tissue fused with crude bionics? Well, whatever catches your fancy ...

Why New York? Isn't the old York good enough for you? =P

I've never liked the Hildebrandt poster, I think it's just ugly...

I wish more-and-more that Leia had worn that leggy dress in the film =P

That's crazy talk!

At the very least it's one of the most important special effects films ever made.

Sister Ruth has to go mad near the end because of the tensions (sexual, sensual etc) have reached boiling point.

She is pretty warm to start with as it is, if you started with her at boiling point she would have evaporated by the end of the film.

It's taking every ounce of restraint I have to not post "it" in every other thread.

Dark Jedi - at least - were exactly what it says on the tin: evil Jedi. They didn't need to be anything more complex than that.

With the Sith, though, you expect something more than anti-Jedi. And we got that with the Sith in the Tales of the Jedi comics, who are shown to have a distinct culture apart from the Jedi. Lucas, though, doesn't have a mind for complex things like that; just give them black robes, red lightsabers, juvenile supervillain names, and call it a day.

I've created my own hell =(

Black Narcissus (1947)

Not a bad film - the actors and cinematography are all very good - but it didn't really get interesting until towards the end, when Kathleen Byron's character goes crazy. I really think that if this movie had been written as an out-and-out horror film and directed as such, I would have liked it alot more.

5.1/10

"And did you tell her about my kidnapping by the Bpfasshi Dark Jedi? That's where it all really began.

It was a terrible experience, possibly the first time in my life I'd felt truly and genuinely terrified. He was half mad with rage - maybe more than half mad - with all of Darth Vader's power and none of his self-control. One of my crewmen he physically ripped to shreds, literally tearing his body apart. The other three he took over mentally, twisting and searing their minds and turning them into little more than living extensions of himself. Me - me, he left mostly alone. I'm still not sure why, unless he thought he might need my knowledge of ports and spacelanes to make his escape. Or perhaps he simply wanted an intact mind left aboard who could recognize his power and greatness and be properly frightened by it.

We headed across the spacelanes, dodging or avoiding the forces gathering against him. [...] Finally, for reasons I still don't entirely understand, we made for a little backwater system not even important enough to make it onto most of the charts. A planet with nothing but swamps and dank forests and frozen slush. A planet named Dagobah.

I don't know if the Dark Jedi expected to be alone down there, but if he did, he was quickly disappointed. We'd barely stepped outside the ship when we spotted a funny-looking little creature with big, pointed ears standing at the edge of the clearing where we'd put down. He was a Jedi Master named Yoda. I don't know if that was his home, or if he had just flown in specially for the occasion. What I do know is that he was waiting for us.

I won't try to describe their battle. Even after forty-five years of thinking about it, I'm not sure I can. For nearly a day and a half the swamp blazed with fire and lightning and things I still don't understand. At the end of it the Dark Jedi was dead, disintegrating in a final, massive blaze of blue fire."

Okay, time to sum all the major things I like about the EU in one post. So, in alphabetical order:


The Alan Moore comics

Beldorion the Hutt

The Corellian Trilogy

Dark Empire I

The drawings in the Jedi Prince series

Exar Kun

Exar Kun's double-bladed blue lightsaber

Force organizations beyond the Jedi & Sith

Freedon Nadd

The Galaxy of Fear series

King Ommin

Kir Kanos

Leia's red lightsaber

The Marvel comic books

Multiple lightsaber colours

Naga Sadow

Pre-PT Boba Fett

The pre-PT Clone Wars

Pre-PT Darth Vader

The pre-PT Jedi

Pre-PT Palpatine

Waru

Waru's universe

Ah, the day when the EU gets rebooted ... I can almost feel the tears of joy flowing down my face.

It's like an ugly drag queen performing oral rape upon a robot.

Or - more poetically - Nonconsentual Automatonic Fellatio Undertaken by Malformed Transgender.

Alright, alright. Enough Caca. Let me try to fix this ...

Lauren Lee Smith

A relatively minor Canadian actress, with nothing very notable under her belt. That being said, I had a major crush on her back around 2003-2005. She's still very cute in my eyes, but I find her a tad too skinny for my tastes these days.

Anything taking place during the NJO & Legacy eras = not canon in my personal SW universe and not worth reading

I like Kun, as well. He was a little 2-dimensional, though.

The BTTF trilogy would have been better if parallel universes had been worked into the storyline somehow. That being said, they're still pretty good movies - the original is far better than the sequels, though.

I was actually looking for the "Overrated Hideous Skank" thread. I couldn't find it, though.

You guys sometimes get riled over the most pointless things. So it's incredibly stupid - big deal. It's just a goddamn video game. It's not like this is being inserted into the movies and made canon.
