I looked out the window, and to my surprise "Snow". Too my second family, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
Now, to find something to do, because I dare not go out into the living room this early, or somebody will wake up.
Merry Christmas Eve!!!
HAL, stop misquoting the Plinkett reviews. 50% of the carp you have been saying has been said thousands of times, not just on this site. The other 50% of what you have said, I couldn't understand. Given your reputation for beating a dead horse, I didn't need to.
Clearly, I doubt you hate the prequels as much as you say you do, otherwise you would have an original opinion on the subject.
I think you just hate the movies, because a lot of us do. I really couldn't give a big steaming pile of shaving cream about them. They don't anger me, like they do everyone else. George forcing them down our throats does. Then the fact that he acts like the Original Trilogy was inferior, and we shouldn't get to see it, because it is the one we actually like.
Hell, you can't even find decent memorabilia any more, without sifting through loads of prequel garbage.
I truly believe DAYV. I don't know what happened, but the lord wouldn't be happy with me if I turn my back on somebody in need. Regardless of whether DAYV is lying or not, the fact of the matter is, he might be telling the truth.
I think everybody needs a chance, if he is lying, well it's money gone, if he is telling the truth, it is goodwill given.
You lose money, you can get it back.
You lose your life, you can't get it back.
A lot of people talk about how bad the world is physically, and how we need to take care of it for our children. Well, what kind of world are they going to live in, if we teach them not to trust anybody?

I often wonder if Lucas is aware of this, or gives his blessing simply because his kids like it.
I doubt he really gives a crap. He seems to be all supportive, but that is probably to draw in fans. He already has enough fans (most of us) mad at him, he doesn't need to lose more by revoking Robot Chicken poking privileges.
In the case of Family Guy, he has Seth MacFarlane in his pocket. Telling him that (Doubtful) "I TiVo every episode of Family Guy" was probably to get more fans as well.

"You're looking at this from the perspective of being defensive because kids in the park with a broomstick are pretending to be Darth Maul instead of Luke, and that deeply bothers you."
thats hogwash
what bothers me is the OT duels at least had a sense of realism to them where the PT was nothing more than 2 hr long power ranger episodes.
Aside from the overall overkill of saber usage in ATOC, I think the PT duels were the one thing that made them good.
If I had made ROTS though, I would have made the fight just as fast, but I would have Anakin be the clumsy, out to kill person, and Obi Wan the defensive master.
In the end, they both seemed to fight the same, their was no contrast until Obi Wan had the "High Ground".
"I was but a learner, now I am the master!!" should have been, "I didn't have the high ground, now I am taller!!". If we are going by what was represented in the duel.
Saying that the PT duels were shit is just foolish, yet it is your opinion. I would've hated TPM as a child, had it not been for how dynamic the duel was. To me, Darth Maul is the closest to an OT character you could hope for. He is a bad guy, we know it. He doesn't talk much, makes him likable.
AOTC gets no respect from me, the amount of Lightsabers on screen made the weapon unremarkable. Then Yoda's display of fanboy orgasm, saber twirling put a nail in the saber coffin.
In all honesty, it isn't the duels in the OT I like, it is how they are built up to the duels that make them good.
That is why I respect Robot Chicken, and loathe Family Guy.
Robot Chicken criticises many of George Lucas' decisions
Family Guy keeps their lips firmly on George Lucas' tit, avoiding perfect times to poke fun at his decisions.
I think you know what I mean!!

Cool find!!
I have money from Honduras as well.
I have a case full of Chinese money, probably $300 US dollars worth.
I have money my dad brought back from a trip in Aruba during the early 90's.
Then Canadian money, but that doesn't really count.
Reading old George interviews is wonderful and informative, and you really get a sense of the genius behind the legacy. Then you realize half-way through that this is the same guy that made the prequels and you can't help but feel a little sad.
I love the George of old. It's sad that I am so mad at the George of now.
I am glad you typed it up, it was a good read.

Every time I see that image, I have the Benny Hill theme in my head LOL!!!
This is how the prequels are at the theater in the perfect world of my mind.
This explains it all..

It's true. hal and the PT hate each other when they get on the elevator, but being stuck in there together for eight hours while the emergency crew tries to rescue them...
...you just know that when the doors open they'll be making out.
LOL of the day.
Well my calumnious companions, I shan't take any sides, but what I will say is: TAKE THIS BICKERING TO OFF TOPIC!!!!
All in all, the worst we can do is start a pissing contest. It calls for no growth or progress at all. I don't care who does what, and how much or how little each member contributes. A contribution to the fan-editing world, good or bad, is a contribution nonetheless. I respect contributions, being somebody who has lots of plans without results.
I respect you all, don't loose that respect over something so petty.
LOL

Can I be the bounty hunter that follows you when there is a bounty on your head????
Dude, you gotta calm down on the posts.

This thread is coarse and rough, and it gets everywhere. I am haunted by the kiss it should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. It is in my very soul tormenting me.
You mean you can actually quote that scene???
Sluggo said:
ESF,
I bet you could be a smuggler without having to go to another reality. Or at least have the bounty hunters after you.
I was, but the dog got me.
It depends, wouldn't care for the Jedi part. I was more in the Han Solo fanbase.
