I'm still waiting for one as good as "Lars Attacks!"

Reminds me of the Uncle Owen smackdown thread.  That was a good one.

So, Ash.  How are you holding up?

It was basically OT.com fourms before OT.com.

Or TFN before there were prequels to agrue about.

Or the Old Republic.  Before the Dark Times, before the Empire.

This.

And now my heart is partially broken.

So you're not so different after all.

You both have the same height, the same build, you both kiss the same way, you both draw your guns the same way, and you both sing the same wrong words to Amazing Grace.

You are talking about using the lyrics of "Gilligan's Island", right?

So... anyway...

I thought your post was very funny, xhonzi. 

Perhaps Sluggo

You guys did the applecore gag without me!  I feel like a proud papa!

Sluggo's comments about the FOX network reminded me of this older guy I work with.

I'm thirty-seven, I'm not old.

xhonzi, what do you have against midgets, anyway?  That was harsh.

:p

REM - Man on the Mooooon

All this reminds me of the early days of the Fox network here in the states.  For a while, it was that channel with The Simpsons and Married... With Children.  Pretty edgy stuff for TV back in the day.  Then the X-Files came along and Fox seemed to be able to compete with the big three.

Star Wars Episode 1: The Disposable Sith
Star Wars Episode 2: The Slave Liberation (and Other Forgotten Promises)
Star Wars Episode 3: Cramming the Set Up for the OT in the Last Five Minutes 

Seriously.  I had made my mother a small family history booklet for Christmas when last week, a cousin finally gets back to me with new information.  Typical.

Here's that other cover I made for this.

I'm not too classy for that.  I'm a creep, I'm a weird-o.

Hello!

You aren't the oldest chaps in the room you know.

Give me a pair of binoculars and a place to stand I could show a girl a good time.

I'm not saying whether I've seen it or not.  But he's not ignoring me.  Just Biff and Greedo.

In terms of space battles the one at the end of TPM looks WWI to ANH's WWII (colourful simple fighter craft /less colouful gritty fighter craft ).

The problem isn't so much in the design but it the writing.

Maybe it's not so much the specific look* of the fighter crafts but rather the execution of the battles that makes it hard for me to believe/accept that TPM is supposed to be 'before' SW/ANH.

*even taking into consideration your color analogy, there's still a problem, though: we should have at least seen Y-Wings in the PT,  since during the OT days the film makers involved were saying that they looked so 'beat-up' because they were in fact older craft than the X-wings....

I can see both sides of this, but ultimately it seems to me that the choice to not even care that the PT didn't really look earlier than the OT (except smaller Star Destroyers) is a creative choice, not a technical one. Whatever design choices would have successfully made the PT look a generation earlier than the OT could have been acheived in CGI.

(on the other hand, if the Republic has already stood for a thousand generations, how much technological advance do we expect to see in 20 years?)

 

One wonders what events would have looked like 5000 years before the Star Wars movies.
