Found the full picture of me with the new mask so i edited it and.. well.. Whatcha think? :P
Looks like a Halloween mask. The first looked sharper.
Prince Valorum. Bad guy,
Hollywood is a actors and directors world.
I never imagined there'd be a writer with such a perfectly consistent pattern of crap that I'd learn to avoid.
No one picked on me for watching Doctor Who because in America no one knew what it was.
I fondly remember Power Rangers as a very uncomfortable thing for 8th grade boys... we didn't know if we were too grown up to publicly like it or not, although I suspect we all watched it.
I watch Treasure Island probably twice a month with my kids.
I like the pictured mask. Have you seen Prince Valloeum in the "The Star Wars" comic?
Obiwankennerobi, have you considered maybe YOU were the problem?

It's not the word "Padawan" so much, it's more that I was allowing myself the nieve dream that Disney-Star Wars was going to be a PT free universe.
That dream should have been shattered once you saw the Inquisitor. It was for me. Unless you've never seen ROTS. =P
You know, I'm just now noticing those guys in the far back. Could that be a hint that the Royal Guards are actually supposed to be Pau'ans?
More likey they didnt want to pay for more alien masks.
A totally PT free world is an unrealistic expectation. The movies have been around forever and made 3/4 kajillion dollars. Theyve been toys, theyve been video games, and like it or not, LOTS OF PEOPLE actually like them
Focus that Rebels is OT heavy. They talk about the OT look for the lightsabers, the OT troopers. Disney is releasing three OT comic books.

For those of you not in the know, I'm on vacation in the heart of Mouseland in Florida. I saw a little kid wearing a Rebels t shirt today, and the show isn't even out yet!
Don"t know if I'm venturing into the actual lair of the Mouse yet, but if I do, I'll see what SW merchandise is on the shelves.
If its anything like California Mouseland, 90% OT and some Darth Maul stuff.
Yellow jacket Luke! Art by JOHN CASSADAY! They have my money!
also
PRINCESS LEIA!! By MARK WAID!!! I need another job, because they have my money again!
That is all.

What they're doing is trying too hard. TASM2 had inklings of being a much better movie but all of the reshoots they did to shove the Sinister Six down our throats turned it into a jumbled mess. It seems like Sony has taken to using a heavy hand on this franchise and it's turning out for the worst.
Harry single handedly broke into a high security prison to free a super villain to help him break into his unguarded office. That movie made no sense from word go.
I don't recall this. Star Wars was something it was always ok to like.
I'm actually shocked that a real person uses words like preps and jocks.

They could've easily avoided the word "padawan" without contradicting the prequels.
But why? Why the irrational hatred of that word? I've never understood it.
Bricklayers have apprentices. Knights have squires. Monks have novices. Why can't telekinetic space samurai have padawans?

*SPOILER ALERT* :-D
What? That I had a girlfriend?
Anyone have some skills with instuments and/or midis and/or other music programs who would like to help out a audio drama podcast?
We have a tune, currently sung, that we/I want to recurring four-note motif.
These four notes, I'd like them done by horns, by harp strings, by a choir of angels . Flute, barkning dogs, Jew's harp, anything would help.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPmYC40goV4&feature=youtu.be
Here;s the tune if anyone wants to help out. All I can offer is gratitude and a credit on the show.
I woke up my then girlfriend to comfort me when Aerith died.
I'm still deeply attracted to Princess Daphne from Dragons Lair.
I'd say SW is a great deal more kid friendly than ROTJ.
Brutal senseless execution of the terrified dancer. The pigman being eaten. The rapey vibe with Leia and the close up as Jabba is brutally killed. Yoda dying. The Emp is terrifying. Luke being tortured on camera, screaming for help. Vaders moral ambiguity at the end. Vaders sad, creepy death. The dead Ewok and his sad friend. The funeral pyre. Lots of troubling imagery and story.
In SW Greedos death is played for laughs. Biggs death and Alderaans destruction are both over after one good scream. No one suffers, there's very little fear. We don't see Aunt Beru running for her life. I think it adds up to a very different tone.
I loved that show. Looking forward to any progress.

Yeah, I've noticed it too. The sounds are more baby-like and cuter sounding, not so much like a robot (or droid in this case). I'd like to know any explanation for that. Probably kid-friendlyness, though.
Of course, because the beeping in ANH and ESB sounds extremely serious, dark and adult-like. Don't be ridiculous...
Yeah, that's the only other option...
In SW both R2 and 3PO sounded/behaved much more like actual robots/machines. 3PO was made a little more comic relief in TESB (not in a silly way like PT) and both even more in ROTJ (probably for kid-friendlyness like many changes in tone).
I thought it was common knowledge (in a SW forum at least) that R2's beeps were mixed from electronic sounds and Burtt doing baby voices -> ROTJ more baby, less electronical/robot-like.
Don't be ridicilous.
Generally I find the notion of ROTJ being "kid-friendly" ludicrous. There is very little kid-friendly stuff in it. Even Ewoks aren't really kid-friendly (aside from the looks maybe... but then again I find Wampa much cuter than Ewoks). Almost being roasted alive is quite the most disturbing potential death Luke and Han faced throughout the entire trilogy.
Nothing says kid friendly like pigmen being eaten, and our protagonist choking a hideous worm monster rapist thing to death with a chain.
There are a couple of Summer Star Wars promotions on young cool brands, including Vans shoes.
100% OT imagery. Usually just "Star Wars."
The future looks bright.

A Bible edited into reflecting a Deist worldview wasn't precisely what I had in mind.
But it sure is cool.

Yes but the problem is people quote Leviticus often from a wonky translation and use it as an excuse for violence because it's supposed to be the word of God.
When some kids claim Slenderman made them do something horrid it's hard to see how they wouldn't have done something horrid in the name of anything because he is clearly not standing right behind you while you are reading this.
All joking aside, what is Slenderman's stance on gay marriage?
