The Mandarin

the lord of the rings sucks in comparison to star wars.

Stormtrooper's armors are just so weak.

Not to mention all of these over-choreographed lightsaber fights.

And so on and so forth.

How about some political thread about where we can complain about this infamous guy over here?

The Hobbit shoehorned too much random stuff that wasn't even in the books. Peter Jackson is just out there to make more money. I've never heard of anybody like that before.

Not terribly important. Just a guy who asked lots of questions. You can track some of our discussion over here.

But I believe we were discussing what we like about George Lucas. Frankly, I'm happy he sold Star Wars to Disney. It's hard to part with something you care about, and if I'm certain of anything, it's that George loves Star Wars. He did a hard thing, but it was the right thing, and I'm proud of him for it.

Just don't bring Darth Vader back to life, Disney, please!

Ah, just messing. There once was this guy here who made me laugh a lot.

I have ran into people like that on the Internet sometimes, just like you.  Just check out Youtube, it's full of that kinda stuff.

Well, I don't want to get into too much of this sort of a discussion, especially considering this forum doesn't really put much stock into PT retcons, but bear in mind that Fett was originally played by Jeremy Bulloch, a full-fledged white man.

But as to saying that because there wasn't much diversity, I disagree. Lando's a very interesting character IMHO. James Earl Jones provided the most iconic voice to the most iconic bad guy (post-sexy hot tamale olympian demigod) in all movie history.

Who the F*** in the world is the "post-sexy hot tamale olympian demigod"? I apologize. I don't want to use profanity here, but what you just said doesn't make any sense at all.

I don't feel like discussing politics, but I don't believe in affirmative action. Racial diversity isn't so much about the amount of non-white characters within a story, but it's more so about their important to the overall storyline.

Rare card? I think you mean race card. Anyway, I don't really believe George is racist. I'm just joking about what others have said. People say the Gungans make fun of Caribbean blacks while Watto makes fun of Jews. I even remember hearing that Kamino and clones makes fun of illegally immigrating Mexicans because "Camino" means "path" or "I walk" in Spanish, and considering there's a whole army of brown skinned guys (nevermind the fact that Temuera Morrison is really a Maori from New Zealand) ready to march, surprisingly many believed that he was making fun of illegal immigrants.

Star wars had very little racial diversity in the films, with a few exceptions of minor characters. At the very least, that's semi racism.

Boba Fett in the Empire Strikes Back.

Really looks like this guy over here.

Well, perhaps I'm spoiled by our more laidback crowd here. Speaking of which, welcome to the forum. So, you herald from the Jedi Council Forums, eh? How does this thread sit with you?

I'm simply amazed that he is constantly smacking down any slightly "offensive" post.

I don't have an account over there. For the most part, however, Darth Boba, isn't that badly strict. Why do you hate him so much? He is very good at keeping spamming, flaming, and trolling, in line.

darth_ender said:

Come on! We're talking about the guy who created the Gungans and Watto and a planet called Kamino inhabited by a bunch of brown-skinned clones. Of course the guy's racist! He's only marrying her to ward off criticism!

Brown skinned clones aren't racist. If anything, they are just inserting racial, non white people diversity into the story. How is that racist at all?

"George, when are we going to get married!?"

GEORGE: (praying to his Crystal Skull to escape the Mayan Apocalypse)  Uh... 2013.  Yeah, definitely by 2013!!

Since this thread is meant to poke fun at everyone there at the JCF, I included links in the Troll Speculation Thread.

Their moderator Darth Boba is, shall we say, taking his job a little too seriously. If anyone uses any hint of sarcasm, he immediately jumps in to tell folks to knock it off. I consider myself a law abiding OT-er, but I have a feeling I wouldn't last more than a few days if I actually started posting over ther ;)

 This flaming post that lawjedi had wrote to him is just so beyond retarded. Flame wars can be very stupid. LawJedi is definitley banned forever now. Darth Boba is a good administrator. He doesn't allow flaming comments like these to be posted anywhere on his website.

1. The only thing I have to say to you is that you're a power hungry, hypocritical jackass, who clearly has some personal problems with my posts. So why don't you just do what you gotta do?
