What if they are nudists?

It works. Could you sneak in some arcade sound effects as Obi Wan shuts down the holgraphic display?

What if they're bald?

Star Wars Machinima for Dummies? ;)

It still bums me out that A Great and Majestic Empire never had a concluding episode. It was the most warped SW fan project ever until Frink's edits came along.

Doh!

No problem.

Just in case you need him to say "ridiculous". ;)

Well, we've pretty much run out of easily obtainable Hayden movies, and his next two aren't out yet. That leaves interview clips posted to youtube by his many female fans.

Hayden says "shooting" at 4:35

He must say "who" somewhere?

It was a bing image search. If I had a nickel for every weird unrelated thing that pops up when I'm looking for something else. The Jar Jar as Bane poster  is a good example.

And I've seen much worse. ;)

This thread is getting too serious.

Now for something completely different.

 I like this version better. ;)

The writer's put limits on the transporter, otherwise nobody could actually die in Trek. If they can use the pattern in the buffer to restore someone to a previous condition, (as has been done since the animated series) why would someone recently dead be an issue? It's all just molecules.

There's a similar issue with Genesis.

Whether the transporter is actually killing you and copying you all the time is an even more creepy issue.

One detail that's bugged me since TWOK is people talking and moving while being beamed.

Here is what the writers of the new trek just don't understand. The reasons we love Kirk and he has become a timeless character have nothing to do with internet memes about how awesome Kirk is.  We don't love Kirk because he beds green alien woman,we don't love Kirk because he kicks everyone's asses in fistfights,and we don't love him because he refuses to obey the rules.  No we love him because he has a strong moral core in addition to those things and without that moral core he is nothing. remember the framing device for Star trek is that these are entries from kirk's official logs that go to starfleet so every time he breaks the rules he is putting it in the ship's log,that is how much his word means to him.  He know it could cost him his job but he is not about to lie or put his crew in the position of having to cover up for him when he breaks the rules. If he breaks them it's for a good moral reason and his only defense he explaining why he felt the rules had to be broken that is one reason we love him.

 This.

 Yeah that is why I will never watch ITD because I felt like I was watching the writers stab Kirk in the back be removing his moral core and if the character doesn't have that then I can't really root for him so I am not invested in what is going on.  The way he treats Spock for not lying is just so far out of character I don't think you can even call him Kirk any more.  That is without the other problems this film has like there being a cure for death in a bottle. How is any action scene in any future Star Trek movie supposed to have any tension if there are a bunch of frozen people out there who have a cure for death in their blood?

 Alternate timeline. This Kirk hasn't had all the same experiences, not to mention he didn't grow up with his father around.

The transporter in theory can be used to restore someone to life, but that has been avoided for decades. We're never going to hear from Khan's magic blood again.

Sorry but they stated lazers can't pass through deflector shields and the Star Wars ships can't fight at lightspeed or faster and some of those number are way off.  I mean if the Empire's ships can travel that fast then there is no way Han could ever escape them with the falcon traveling at a mere point five past light speed and besides if we go by what is shown instead of dialog then in Star Trek five the Enterprise traveled from earth to the center of the galaxy in a couple of hours.

 

The infamous "no lasers" argument.

In one particular episode of TNG, we heard the following exchange:

DATA: Sensors report a minimum range combat craft of the Squadron Class, twenty-six crew.

WORF: Captain, they have locked lasers.

PICARD: Lasers?

RIKER: That won't even penetrate our navigational deflectors.

Literary method: they seem to be saying that their navigational deflectors are immune to lasers, probably because lasers are supposed to be less advanced than phasers. Some people feel that this means any Federation ship could shrug off any laser, even a monster laser that can blow up planets. Others feel that Riker was factoring the ship's small size into account, and that his statement was not meant to be so over-arching. However, it is impossible to conclusively resolve this argument one way or another unless we can get some kind of official statement from the author on the episode, and that's not forthcoming.

Suspension of Disbelief: it is scientifically impossible for any kind of shield to block infinite amounts of laser energy, because the second law of thermodynamics prohibits 100% efficiency devices and light carries momentum equal to U/c, so there are two mechanisms through which increased power levels would eventually overwhelm any blocking system. Therefore, Riker was either an idiot or he was taking the enemy ship's small size into account when he made his statement. Case closed.

The Federation controls a portion of a single quadrant of the galaxy. The Galactic Empire controls their entire galaxy.

When the U.S.S. Voyager was flung to the other side of the galaxy they estimated it would take 75 years to make it back home.

In Star Wars their galaxy can be traversed from one end to the other in a matter of weeks.

 That still leaves Star trek five out there where an unfinished and damaged Enterprise was able to travel from Earth(A planet out near the edge of the galaxy)to the center of the galaxy in a matter of hours. One thing that I am surprised has not been brought up is maybe the ships have the same top speed or they are slow enough for the falcon with a top speed of point five past light speed to be one of the fastest ships in the galaxy,maybe the galaxy Star Wars takes place in is much smaller then our own.  Galaxies come in different sizes and all we know is that the Star Wars galaxy is far far away.  If it was much smaller then our own that would explain a lot of things including the falcon being fast despite it being too slow to get anywhere in our galaxy in under a few months or years,and all the planets seeming to be so close to each other.

 Where in the movie is it said the ship is unfinished and damaged? It needs a lot of debugging though. It speaks ill of the Starfleet shipyards that the Enterprise A was even launched with that many problems with it's systems. Must have been the low bidder that fitted her out. ;)

Best that you don't watch Brainstorm or Galaxy Quest then. ;)

Where have you seen these photos?

"My fandom is superior to yours" pissing contests never make sense. ;)

Glad you were able to extract it.

Weird, I could have sworn my receiver bitrate display said it was 384kps.

I think I've seen such an image somewhere.

And how many book series have continued long after an author's death? It's too much of a cash cow for publishers to let go of.

How does the HD DVD compare to the Blu Ray?

I didn't know K-9 had crossed over into the Star Wars universe.

The house where my previously mentioned mystery guests have been coming from, has annoyed my new neighbors across the way enough that they want security lights installed yesterday. Unfortunately for me, this requires the services of the handyman who's supposed to be working on remodeling my master bathroom, which is barely at the halfway point.

I am not a happy camper.
