General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread

So do you guys like that the prequels made star wars popular again? I wasn’t that interested in seeing the old movies until the new ones started coming out. While I saw the SE once on VHS It didn’t take and I didn’t see what the big deal was. It was episode 3 that got me to watch and rewatch the whole series. Surely having new fans benifits you guys somehow. Don’t you like that a geeky sci-fi film series got to be somewhat cool?

cmon, they talk about tapes but that dont look like a tape leia sticks in r2. So why can’t they just call it a data disc or data card?

Yeah, It’s almost as if Star Wars all happened in the past and in a galaxy that doesn’t match up with our own.
A Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… If you will.
Oh…

You must have missed the part where I said that they still could have redubbed the lines in 2004 or 2011.

The actor was probably still alive then so they could have used him still and it wouldn’t have to sound very different. GL probably could have got him for cheap too cause I don’t think he became a big actor or anything.

The movie taking place a long time ago don’t have any bearing cause Leia clearly wasn’t inserting a tape into R2. It was either a card or disc.

VHS used to be expensive as heck too. Read what it says in the Star Trek 2 wikipedia article:

“Paramount released The Wrath of Khan on VHS and Beta in 1983. The studio sold the VHS for $39.95, $40 below contemporary movie cassette prices. It needed to sell 60,000 tapes to make the film as profitable as other tapes, but sold 120,000. The successful experiment was credited with instigating more competitive VHS pricing, an increase in the adoption of increasingly cheaper VHS players, and an industry-wide move away from rentals to sales as the bulk of videotape revenue.”

That means it cost 80 dollars. Man, I’m glad I didn’t live in those times.

Why would it be out of character for Yoda to enforce monastic celibacy?

Because strength in the force is supposedly inherited.

Duh, why do you think Leia can use the force when she don’t even want to? No training but she’s strong in the force. It’s cause she inherited it from her father.

Why would it be out of character for Yoda to enforce monastic celibacy? Clearly he has a weird religion. Remember that Star Wars collectors card where he and other Yoda’s were worshiping a Yoda statue?

Edit: On the topic of fanedits, I loved phantom edit. I can’t believe such a edit makes the film feel more like a traditional Star Wars movie. I wish that edit were officially released.
