I....can't think of anyone that sounds like him. The Clone Wars guy sounded slightly like him and could pass for him in an edit if need be. Then again, my memory of those mostly lame cartoons might be off.

I wish GL had just kept his stuff in ROTS...it would have been a nod to the OT (like he seemed prone to doing thru the whole PT) by having a Jedi return to the living in ghost form at the end of the trilogy.

I liked The Haunting....tho I haven't seen it since I was maybe 13. I thnk i'll give it another go now...no matter what people say about it these days.

Not on topic...my bad.

It never even crossed my mind that during these edits people would use dialogue from the actor's other roles. I guess I wouldn't be so good at this, tho I know I will try it on some movie someday.

you sir....have an excellent idea there.

I've not watched these new discs on a widescreen TV to save myself the hassle of caring about how they look as much, i've accepted that for now, this is al I'll get. I do personally think all alien languages should be hardcoded on the picture frame. IMO i looks a lot better and consitant each time you see the movie (different players use different fonts and colors) and the formatting problem wouldn't be an issue.

And yes, I am aware not everyone that watches SW speaks english so soft subs are kinda necessary (which would cause the cropping again) but i don't see it pissing off anyone having two sets of subtitles on the screen if they can't understand one.

So basically, get your shit together LFL/whoever actually put together the discs specs. A letterbox picture I can eventually just accept, but screwing even that up is lame. You are (were) at the forefront of qaulity control and presentation until 2004, why just stop giving a shit.

Yes, i realize this stuff has been said many times before but I had to say it myself.

^ha....yeah that one was winner.

As for the "I know".....perfect IMO.

The surfer/stoner delivery of the one Nemoidians "Fire! Fire!" was the first sign at the midnight showing that I was in for some historically lame moments ahead in the film. It's blatantly just....retarded.

Sorry if it was mentioned.

Hell yeah for Legos. I made a pretty convincing x-wing and a large and multi-colored Star Destoyer. Of course I was small, dumber and had no sense of scale at all so today they would look only kind of like either ship, but to me it was the closest I could get.

I remember when I had my own history of the trilogy in my own mind and it was and still is so much more epic, satisfying and dramatic than what actually happened.

I basically second the above post. I love the thoughts and possibilities that space exploration presents but there are other issues here on earth that could use some of that money.

Ive used and been taught by so many PowerPoints in my life that it almost seemed nautural. BTW, I hate to give GL any ideas, but I'm kinda surprised he never updated that part in the actual movie to show more "advanced looking" plans with crazy angles and effects. The shit probably looks sooo damn out of place to him.

I personally thought it fit decently with the whole "underground rebellion in a secret temple base with little money and old technology" feel of being on Yavin. Maybe GL thinks the same....but I just can't help feeling that he doesn't.

^I guess if you're trying to watch them seriously that could be a problem. I always watch movies like this fully aware that what made me happy as a kid may seem full on retarded to me these days. I'm never disappointed watching something I liked when I was small. My roommate and I will probably end up laughing our asses off at some sick joke we make out of something in the movie.

Also, they come in a 2 pack at best buy. I never picked it up by I just may have been remotivated now.

1. I dunno. I don't think he's his superior as much as a favorite of the Emperor and Vader didn't wanna piss off his master by bitching out his favorite normal guy. Plus, Vader isn't technically a part of the military aspect of the Empire so they kind of seem equal in terms of rank.

2. I was considering posting a thread on how the Death Star got around. I still don't quite get it really. No visible engines on it and it can go lightspeed obviously. Does one of those "How it works" books shed any light on the subject.

3. Time isn't very well defined in the SW universe it seems. GL never really gave much indication of time passing in the films. This one seems more like a editing/pacing decision than a story thing.

4. Small chunks of junk floating around are less likely to get in the way of hyperspace routes....or something....maybe.

5. Maybe the cockpits can be self-contained pods that eject into space to be picked up later or controlled for a short distance to get far enough away to safety.

6. I might be remebering wrong but I think parsec was used in reference to distance or speed and in such a huge and fast universe, different units are needed. Again, i can't quite remember what way it was used.

7. The currency probably changes with the times. Obiously they don't use Republic credits anymore, probably Imperial versions of those. And on less populated and distant planets they probably use local currency. I remember hearing a word for the currency that starts with a D once.

8. He said he was building a protocol droid so their must be some basic guidelines he was looking to follow, if not some sort of manual. I mean, the kid was good and all with techy stuff it seems, but everyone needs instructions for complicated stuff, especially inexperienced kids. There's now way he just imagined a pod, for example, and magically through it all together in secret without some help.

9. Is sabacc a real game? If so, why even mention it in SW, where i'll automatically have to assume they play it the same and have at least a similar deck of cards to use?
