So, Stinky. If they're not put in chronological order (why?!), what order are they in?

Yeah, I read that Leonard Maltin said that if Connery had been in the role, it might have been the very best Bond film. Still, I plan to rent the movie and form my own opinion.

Had they been advertising the latest extremely raunchy comedy with Vince Vaughan, I doubt anybody would have had a problem with it.

Honestly, I find that Leia is much bitchier to the other heroes in the original movie than she is in Empire. Honestly, these guys are risking their lives to free her, and all she can do is complain how they're doing it wrong. It's funny, and she has a point, but I think I would have been tempted to do what Han says and put her back in her cell and hope the Imperials would forgive me and let me go.

Back to the Future and now this. Star Wars just keeps looking more and more pathetic in comparison to any other professional film company out there.

I will admit that Empire is the movie where 3PO became extremely whiny and high-pitched, although not nearly as high-pitched as he would be in the prequels.

Wow. Great and surprising to see Warbler post again. Gives me a bit of a sinking feeling to continually read, "This is my last post..." etc. posts, but that's their choice, and who am I to argue? It's annoying that things had to go sour, but that was a few months ago now, and I honestly hadn't given it too much thought in a while other than the occasional missing of their input to the Off-Topic section. So I wish either things would be rectified with the old guard or we could just move on from it like I thought we had been doing.

I just realized this has de-evolved into perpetual virgin geek argument. God help us all.

Wow, I'm gone for a little while, and the shit revives itself and hits the fan all over again. Man, that poor fan. It must suck getting shit all over it so often. Yeah, I was under the impression we'd moved past all this. I sure as hell wish YIYF would come around here more often. But, since I didn't list anything this week, I'm thankful for this thread because I got to laugh at some more hilarious Stinky posts, and those always make my day.

I said the Battle of Yavin. It was pretty close for me among the OT choices, but I still get excited and tense when Vader's chasing down Luke in that trench.

How does that help the rebellion?

If helping to destroy the Death Star didn't get Solo a single promotion (or rather got him officially ranked as the Captain he already was), how does helping to destroy a non-combatant - no matter how criminal - affect his rebel ranking?

Shenanigans!

Besides, it was mostly through Luke's actions that Jabba was killed anyway. Solo was being rescued. But you didn't see Luke getting any more promotions, huh?

She died while giving birth to her children but it was Anakin's actions that caused Padme to weaken while doing so.

If the birth had killed her, that would have been fine, but it was clearly stated that she was in perfect physical health.

Gak, even her wooden affectations as the Queen had her evincing more spunk than she did in the entire final film.

The prequels' greatest flaw was failing to develop likeable characters on the order of Luke, Han and Leia. To then squander what little character they had developed in Padme was among the more egregious errors of Revenge of the Sith.

Bah.

Of course, all of her good scenes ended up being cut from the movie since they were pretty extraneous to the main plot. Pretty much, she just didn't have anything to do in that movie except weep and worry and be in love.

I went back and checked, and, yeah, while it didn't register with me before, that is pretty much what you said, so sorry I missed that. And, no, I don't think that's what he intended. I just think that's the way to have made it work if he had to have them in there.

I just thought of a way that midichlorians could not only make sense in their job but not ruin people's preconceived notions of the Force. What if midichlorians weren't inherently present in a human being's (or any life form's) body with Force sensitivity dependent on their existence but were drawn, rather, to Force sensitivity? So people with high midichlorian counts would only have high midichlorian counts because they were, for whatever reason, strong with the Force?
