If Star Wars characters were football commentators....

Time
I found myself shouting out a bunch of Star Wars quotes while watching some of the NFL playoff games this weekend, so I thought it would be funny to do a parody with Star Wars characters as football commentators. Here's examples of things they might say during a game....

Commentary team #1: Palpatine (play-by-play) and C3PO (analyst) (doing a radio broadcast for their "home team")

Palpatine
The quarterback steps back, throws. COMPLETE!!!!

C3PO
They're running out of time. The chances of them scoring twice in two minutes is 325 to 1.

Palpatine
Oh relax, my little gold friend. It's first and ten on the 30 yard line and-

C3PO
I have a bad feeling about this

Palpatine
I know you do. I can feel your anger.


Commentary team #2. Vader (analyst) and General Motti (play-by-play)

Motti
The quarterback throws, he's got it at the ten, the five, touchdown!!

Vader
Impressive. Most impressive.

Motti
Indeed Lord Vader. There's still no way they've got a chance to go all the way though...

Vader
I find your lack of faith disturbing.


Commentary team #3 Jar Jar Binks (play by play) and Yoda (analyst)

Jar Jar
Mesa tinks dat da team needs to trysa harda.

Yoda
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.

Jar Jar
Whateva. Hesa comsa da field goasla unit. From 50 yads away. Mesa dont tinks dey have a chance to makesa such a longsa field goal.

Yoda
Always you think it can not be done.

Jar Jar
Kickingsa 40 yad field goalsa one ting. Dis isa totally diffwentsa.

Yoda
No. No different. Only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned.

Jar Jar
Wassa? Mesa cantsa undastand wassa yousa sayinsa!

Yoda
Oh. My. Force.

Jar Jar
Anyway. Hesa comsa da kick. He snapsa da ball and... loootalaaaaayyy!!!! Hesa made it. Dey wonsa! Dey wonsa! I dontsa believe itsa!

Yoda
That. Is why you fail.

Not all of this will apply to all PT fans, especially those that like the OT.

1. You loved Jake Lloyd in Phantom Menace
2. You think that George Lucas planned the entire backstory in the 70's, so you blame all the plotholes on the OT.
3. Your least favorite Star Wars movie is Star Wars.
4. You hope that Yoda goes cgi in the next version of Empire and Jedi
5. You hope Palpatine and Yoda appear in the next version of Star Wars
6. You'd love to have Duel of the Fates added to all the OT lightsaber fights
7. The Padme/Anakin romance scenes did not make you laugh and the dialogue in those scenes was perfect.
8. You LOVE seeing Hayden at the end of Jedi
9. You think the PT would have existed even if the OT had never been made
10. You think that all three prequels will stand the test of time and be even more popular 20 years after their releases than the OT films were.
11. Jar Jar Binks did not bother you that much. In fact, you secretely like him.
12. You think Dex's diner is way cooler than the Mos Eisley Cantina
13. You wish Vader had a new love interest in the OT
14. The OT films look like they were made 50 years ago to you
15. You don't understand half the stuff that happens in Phantom Menace but you love it anyway

You're 100% right, but it has no place in the SW universe. It is just another reason what went wrong with the prequels. That scene is out of place in AOTC, along with the cook Dex who knows all these secrets? Everytime I watch that scene I think I am watching the original Back to the Future and waiting to see Marty McFly walk in with Kenobi, and say, "You built a time machine out of midiclorians?"


LOL. The word midichlorians always reminded me of Delorian too and I've said that line before.

I always thought Luke yelled "Hey!" when he got back from the battle of Yavin and saw Leia. Apparently he actually said, "Carrie!" LOL.

Here are some others I used to hear wrong

"Captain, being held by you IS quite enough to get me excited."
"Don't try to frighten us with your source wers ways Lord Vader!"
"Shut down all the garbage matches on the detention level!"

I think it's very strange, but true that many prequel fans think the original Star Wars is the worst Star Wars film! How can you be a Star Wars fan that doesn't like Star Wars?! It makes no sense! It's my second favorite, just behind Empire. What I don't get is how someone could think Star Wars is boring but Phantom Menace is not. I mean, what the heck is so exciting about trade disputes, villians that have little screen time, the bumbling fool Jar Jar Binks or all those scenes on Tatooine? What's so thrilling about the scenes with Padme or her stunt double in the Kabooke outfits talking in the monotone voice about politics? And what's so exciting about those lectures about the midichlorians? And where's all the humor? In the fart jokes? I dunno.

I think that the reason the first Star Wars appears to be so "boring" is because of that long stretch of scenes on Tatooine without a break. It's a lot to ask of kids to watch scene after scene after scene on Tatooine focusing on one part of the story. Maybe in the next special edition, Georgie will make the film more "exciting" by rediting like this...

-droids land on Tatooine and split up
-camera cuts to Coruscant to show tons of cool cgi graphics. Scenes with the Emperor are shown
-r2 is captured, 3PO finds the transport
-new scene with Vader on the Death Star talking to a hologram of Palpatine
-the droids reunite and get sold and chat with Luke
-Vader shown in his "bedroom" aboard the death star, where he is have dreams about Padme!
-Luke talks to his aunt and uncle, the binary sunset, finds out r2 has "run away"
-Vader has another conversation with the Emperor. Whines about having to take orders from Grandma Tarkin.
-Luke and 3po find r2, film continues as normal

maybe it would be easier for some people to pay attention if there were more scenery changes during this part of the film. Of course, that would ruin the movie even more, but that doesn't seem to matter to George........

I've heard some stories about him trying out for the part. It's really creepy though that he killed himself two years ago. It still doesn't seem real.

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. They were the lead couple in "The Notebook," and they were soooooooooooooo much better together than Hayden and Natalie. I don't know how many folks here have seen "The Notebook" but what those two actors did with a sappy love story is amazing. The dialogue wasn't that much better than the stuff in "Attack of the Clones" but they were so good. They had tons of energy, they had the love/hate Han/Leia thing going on and they actually looked like they were in love. Ryan is also great at playing dark and nasty characters and Rachel has a lot more feistiness (she was awesome as the bitchy Regina George in "Mean Girls" and she was also really good in "Wedding Crashers" and "The Family Stone").

I'd love to trade Hayden and Natalie to "The Notebook" for Rachel and Ryan to be in Clones and Sith. I'll trade my first and second round draft picks too

There's one major inconsistency: the fact that when Marty travels into the future, his older self is there. That's impossible! If someone goes in a time machine and travels ahead 30 years, then that means that they would be "missing" for those 30 years. THere can't be 2 Marty's. Flight of the Navigator got that right. The kid's in a time machine for a few minutes and is returned 8 years in the future. He hasn't aged but to the rest of his family he was gone 8 years. Duh.....

See, what happened was this. It turns out that Obiwan Kenobi was doing more than just meditating during his time on Tatooine. Unbeknownst to any Star Wars geek, Kenobi also spent time working on a time machine. He felt so guilty about what had happened with Anakin, that he wanted to go back in time and prevent Anakin from being turned to the dark side. Right before meeting up with Luke and the gang, Obiwan completed his time machine. It was a landspeeder that could go back to any time period. All one would have to do is drive the landspeeder up to 113.8 miles per hour and BAM- time travel was possible thanks to the force capaciter!!!

The time machine stayed in Kenobi's hut, until it was found 7 years after Kenobi's death. The time machine got into the wrong hands. Rumor has it that a certain Gungan was bery bery unhappy about his life and wanted to make himself important to galactic history. He stole the time machine, went back in time and created an alternate reality. Reality for everyone except for the OT fans, cast and crew, where Jar Jar Binks is powerful, Anakin was created by midichlorians and Mrs. Skywalker dies of a broken heart.

Binks wanted to have a role in the galactic senate, so he knew he needed to get himself to Coruscant and meet some Jedi along the way.As stupid as he seems, Jar Jar concocted a brilliant plan, which included sending Qui-Gonn, a Sith Lord in disguise (and the predecessor to Darth Maul) to ruin the Jedi order. Qui-Gonn Ginn (aka Darth Tonic) used his sith powers to brainwash the Jedi. Suddenly the ficticious midichlorians were accepted as fact. Qui-Gonn's presence allowed the discovery of Anakin Skywalker to occur 10 years earlier than it would have been. He used a Sith mind trick to get Shmi to claim Ani had been immaculately conceived. In reality she had a one night stand with some space bum at Mos Eisley and couldn't remember the drunken encounter.

Jar Jar's scheme resulted in the Jedi meeting Anakin ten years earlier than was supposed to happen also changed the relationship that Obiwan and Owen were to have. Originally, Anakin was to spend many years with the Lars clan on Tatooine, growing close to Owen. Owen would eventually feel bitter towards Kenobi for taking Anakin away, but of course, the new reality was changed thanks to a certain Mr. Binks and Mr. Jinn. Also, by some chance, Anakin wound up marrying the same woman (and produce the same children) he was going to anyway, but this time, she would die much earlier than she was supposed to.

Finally, Jinn planned all a long to die in the fight with Maul and Kenobi. He wanted to die for his "cause." PLus this explains why Qui-gonn did not disappear upon his death.

So there you have it. THe new real reason for all the plot holes in the prequels.

My first thought after reading that interview is, that McCallum is a complete schmuck...If things had been done correctly on the conceptual level in the first place the prequels should have left very little in doubt for further explanation, everything should have fallen into place where there would be no need to have a dilluted spin-off to further explore issues that should have been explained in the first place...

The sad fact is I think it actually think it took more effort to fuck up the prequels, than to just being faithful and following the bits and pieces of backstory that already existed in the OT....instead there was some ungodly need to turn every bit of information into a deformed mutation of itself, with and even more bizarre explanation behind it.

Case and point:
It wasn't enough to have Anakin born on Tatooine and have a senario where he was inspired to go on some idealistic crusade (clone wars) with Kenobi...instead we have a plot where Anakin is turned into a 9 year old immaculate concepted slave boy with a high midichlorian count, who by chance creates 3PO in his spare time.. Obi-Wan never discovers him, and only trains Anakin in the first place because of an oath to his dying master, after Anakin is trained as a Jedi he falls in love with a human wardrobe malfunction called a Padme' and ingages in romatic dialogue that makes a Harrlequin novel look like romeo and Juliet, because of this love for Padme, and because his mother was killed by Sandpeople, he is quick to turn into a child serial killer for the chance of saving his wife, who by the way dies from the lost will to live after popping out twins...Kenobi then delivers baby Luke to a couple he's never met before, and rides off on an eeopie....


Lucas has fallen so far from his raw creative genius it's not even funny... For every prequel that was made, every new SE and every spinoff TV show, it further mocks, dismantles and blackmarks what were once three great films.....I have absolutely no faith in the TV show whatsoever, because Lucas is involved.....If some guys like Kirsh, Kasdan and Kurtz and even Hamill (who gets it BTW) were involved, I'd have some faith in a spinoff.......Kevin Smith , Lucas and McCallum don't do it for me.... asshats.

I think one of the flaws of the Award shows is that comparing a screwball comedy to an epic drama is like comparing apples and oranges. Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast, North by Northwest and Star Wars are all such different films so how do you judge them against each other. Is a movie that makes you cry necesarily better than one that thrills you, makes you laugh or makes you scream? It's kind of like the silly ESPY awards where Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Peyton Manning, Michael Phelps and Alex Rodriguez could all wind up in the best athlete category. You just can't compare these guys. And this coming from the same network that put a horse (Secretariat of course) on its best athletes of all time list! Imagine all the great athletes who were left off the list. "They ranked a horse higher than me!!!!" Hehe

Sith does have a chance to win a Best picture Oscar. Best ANIMATED picture that is. I hear they are seriously considering it for that category.

Fondest Memory from the OT Days

My favorite OT memory was when I was first getting into the movies in 1990. I was in 5th grade at that point. My mom had told me she bought a bunch of Star Wars figures when I was really little and they were hiding in the house somewhere. We all went on a wild goose chase trying to find all the cool Star Wars figures. One day, I remember I found C3PO's LEG!!! It was funny that I found the tiny leg before the rest of him. Hehe. I was disapointed to find some of the toys in not so great shape since apparently I had thrown them around when I was like 4 or 5.
