With Star Wars having a desert planet in Tatooine, and spice smuggling, that might be one step too far to avoid a letter from lawyers representing the Frank Herbert estate. ;)
Get a room, or take it to the Trek thread, please.
If you stayed through the end credits to Guardians of the Galaxy, you'd know Howard doesn't need George any more. ;)
I don't think you're racist. I was only concerned about drama ensuing given what happened when someone used "autism" a while back.
The droids are just bickering friends. I think the gay couple thing may have started with Mad Magazine's parody, which made Threepio limp wristed, and Artoo complaining he was stuck with a "f*g robot". I'm amazed that it was reprinted around the 20th anniversary with that word intact.
I didn't hear or see any gay references to the droids again until The Simpsons.
Dude. Not cool. Even if you personally have no use for organized religion, burning down a church is a crime.
I think it will be rebroadcast again this month.

Wonderful!
You could put in few more Wakkas when the clones are being shot.

I know that's a Muppet voice, but drawing a blank on which one. Can't wait to see what you do with the Wookiee army. :)
It's Rowlf, from The Great Muppet Caper when he "talks" to the guard dogs at the museum where the Baseball Diamond is. Never fails to make me laugh.
The Wookiee army clip is coming as soon as vimeo is done processing (youtube blocked it).
Damn! I should have recognized his voice! ;)

I'd call almost everyone currently in this thread a bunch of whiny bitches, but that'd be insulting to female pooches everywhere.
What brought this on? A thinly veiled mass personal attack is just as bad as a specific one. Knock it off.
This thread is starting to feel like it's going downhill, and the brakes aren't working. Maybe a move to off topic is in order.

Had a thought last night that the lava droid Anakin jumps on during the final duel should complain about it. It looks like his lower arms are melting off thanks to the extra weight. Maybe he just screams?
It's the Jupiter Effect all over again! Or did Chuck Norris revise his 1000 years of darkness prediction?
At least Y2K was semi plausible. I think some VCR timers didn't work or something. ;)
You don't have to be Carl Sagan to know there isn't anything big enough between the Earth and the Sun to blot it out for days. Would be a cool way for some aliens to get our attention though!
Total darkness? Should I be mailing out my holiday parcels early, or just not bother? ;)
When does he not look like he's on drugs? He's always been this spooky kind of guy.
I didn't see the broadcast, but being stoned on live tv doesn't seem like a good idea.
It's amazing to me you can't find even one comic or novel that you like?
I can't imagine my childhood without the early Marvel comic, or the Brian Daley Han Solo books.
Meyer hasn't done a lot of directing since TUC, (only one other film in 1999) but the IMDB says he has a film coming out in 2015.
Bringing in someone who's actually directed a Trek movie or two would be a smart move. (Paging Mr. Frakes!) They probably won't of course. ;)
I hope you guys will offer OT.com members a safe harbor if the need ever arises. :)
In Chewie's case he might not be able to. Didn't Heir To The Empire have a Wookiee with a speech impediment that allowed him to speak basic?
Interesting that nobody has found something to be offended by with the Geonosians, at least nothing I've heard about yet.
And "japs" is considered an offensive term in the U.S., just so you know.
I would be interested to know if there were any indications in the script or elsewhere as to what the Neimoidians should sound like. Ditto for Watto.
Based on the Episode III bts video about the creation of General Grievous, it seems like George doesn't give the conceptual designers very much to go on.
Then why does Spock keep getting cameos in his fan edits? ;)
I think the Carrie Fisher cocaine jokes are getting old. She's clean and sober these days, isn't she?

Saving for potential use on TFA release day. ;)
I fully expected that. ;)
But I'm pretty sure Lucasfilm and Disney know it's a stinkbomb that's easy to avoid, just like Jar Jar.
I highly doubt they will ever be mentioned by name again in future films.
Congratulations to NASA on a successful first flight test of Orion. Watching the launch really took me back to the good old days of Apollo.
May Congress give you guys more money to accelerate the testing program, even if it's only to poke Russia in the eye. ;)
