Ric Olie

Darth Solo said:

I aint laughed so much since Stinky_Dinkins was in his hay-day. Also Ric, to state the obvious, your avatar has shrunk.

Dream grude match would be be Stinky_Dinkins vs. Ric Olie.

Maybe your avatar has grown.

I'm a Stinky_Dinkins fan.  I wasn't here during his heyday, but I've enjoyed reading his exploits in some old threads like the hot like fire thread.  I'd welcome the challenge.

what color is vaders suit ric?

Sorry.  Off the clock right now.  Use your own eyes.

Darth Solo said:

Then its bloody fortunate to have a few on board to keep our sanity then! We'd all be like Ric Olie if we didnt...

Everyone wishes they could be as observant as me.

fishmanlee said:

is it true you had a line in episode V that was cut that said: "Look! its vader! and Han is shooting at him but vader is blocking it with is laser proof gloves"?

Absolutely true.  But in the original script, Vader was wearing laser proof oven mitts.  Then they changed them to gloves.  Then they cut my lines because they wanted everyone confused for a bit - trying to make the movie all "artsy" or something.

Darth Solo said:

I have a droid claiming he belongs to a Ric Olie, its funny as i have never seen such devotion in a droid.

Besides that, what in the hell is going on here (besides the obvious, obviously)?

Hmmm.  I don't seem to remember owning a droid.

Angel Blue01 said:

Ric, I gotta thank you for the wonderful "the entire planet is one big city" line. Without it, my parents would have been lost as what Coruscant was (besides the capital of the Republic). Seriously.

Angel Blue01: You are very welcome.  The first time I visited Coruscant, my myspace friend who I was meeting for the first time told me to just "meet her in the city."  I never did find her, and she eventually shacked up with that piece of crap Captain Typho.  If I can help others from suffering as I have, then my place in this world is secure.

Nanner: Will do!

Darth Venal said:

The problem is, without convincing characters/performances, nothing else works.

That's why my scenes are the best part of TPM...of the whole PT and OT, really.

I miss having time on my hands.

I miss not having time on my hands.  The market for expository characters dried up after Link ruined The Matrix Reloaded.

Photoshopped Nighy as Tarkin for Bingo

I think I should be Tarkin.  Vader and Sidious look out at the DS for so long in that shot because they don't know what they are looking at.  I could have explained it to them.

Jabba gets edited back into ANH, but I get removed from the pic?  Sure, you can still see me if you squint, but my label has been "fixed" in a way that basically removes me from the pic.  I say we boycott this picture until an unaltered original pic is released.

Rhikter said:

It's not like it's laid out in front of you waving a Mr. Obvious cap.

Oooh, where can I get me one of those?

Wow, I look extremely handsome from that angle.  Maybe I'll change my name to Roc after all.

Davnes007 - If I were someone other than Ric, I'd think that pic was super hilarious.  Since I'm Ric, and now the picture is really doing my job, I'm super depressed.

doubleofive said:

Roc Olie?  Ric, is that your brother there?

My brother is Olis Olie.  Check the prequel radical thread.

shanerjedi said:

Hey, Olis was a unique character. He was fine even if a little stilted.

My brother Olis Olie?  Yeah, he was pretty wooden.  Me, I got tips from Natalie on set and I think I came off very dynamic.

Darth Venal said:

 

Oh great, that first picture is doing my job.  I feel so worthless now.

doubleofive said:

...we could go through a whole list of characters who sometimes literally show up to wave at the audience then disappear.

Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't complain about my limited number of lines after all.

doubleofive said:

OK, I've come to the conclusion that there are way too many mattes in this film.

But not enough Rics.

Ithilgore said:

Which is everyone's favourite, of the six, by the way?

How could anyone not vote for TPM?  The lightsabers, incidentally, are mere eye candy that distract the viewer from my insightful observations.

cap said:

Do we have an estimated delivery date more precise than “sometime in 2010”?  Are we talking early 2010, mid 2010, or late 2010?

Don't worry.  Once it's released, and you've watched it, I'll let you know that it's been released.

Bingowings said:

It would turn Palpatine into a prune faced evil version of Doc Brown (or Ric Olie).

Evil version of me? Isn't possible that I'm evil? What if the Ric you thought you were serving no longer exists, and I have become the very evil you've been fighting to destroy?

doubleofive said:

I just want to point at my TV and say, "I've had a conversation online with the guy who did that."

You can do that every time you watch TPM.

shanerjedi said:

Qui-Gon might be my favorite. Or Darth Maul. Can't decide.

Those guys got nothing on me. Qui-Gon only explains things that need explaining, and Maul barely says a word.

And your favorite character is....

Don't make me state the obvious.  I'm off the clock again.

darthmunky said:

The lightsabers in ROTS are my favorite.

But the characters in TPM are your favorite.  Don't try to deny it.

TheBoost said:

But if that's the case, why was Vader apparently surprised when Obi vanished in "Star Wars"?

Because that's the first time he's personally seen it. Think about it. Who vanished before his eyes?

I vanished before his eyes.  Sure, he was 10, but I was with him in TPM, and then....where did I go?

bkev said:

Ric Olie? Redundant? NEVER!

If I see something happen twice, I have to point it out twice.  Otherwise you'll think it only happened once.

No worries - was just having a bit of fun.
