Discussion: Your most prized star wars collectible
Time
If I had to choose I'd probably say my book and TPB collection, of which I guess the Star Wars: Technical Journal is the rarest.

My most artsy collectible is that SW Episode I Print Collection that came in the stainless steel case. It may not be worth much, and the movie may not have been top-notch, but the art kicked ass.

I also have about 6 20 gallon air-tight tubs full of vehicles and figures.

He could have just as easily went with the Hildebrants' version of treebeard, just like a dark man with leaves in his hair. But I'm glad he went the extra mile and came up with the concept that he did, actually looking like a tree that just happens to move.

Yes, I agree. Things are really dumbed down these days, but not just things for children, everything is dumbed down for everyone. I mean, look at the No Child Left Behind Act, I know of people at my school that technically should have failed (Fs and Ds in all classes) but were bumped up a grade anyway and offered the opportunity to graduate early.

Then the kids who work their hardest to get Bs and Cs are shunted into the "dumb" classes while the ones bumped up by the No Child Left Behind are cast into the AP or Honors classes and show up less than 10 days a month...I don't understand it.

Anyway, back on topic...

I just hope it doesn't end up like another popular franchises over-hyped MMORPG *cough*Galaxies*cough*

But to be fair, Galaxies is shaping up pretty good now.

But way back in the day when it was released and we were hoping for the Second Coming but all we got were dancing Wookiees...

If it is going to be produced, for continuity's sake and ours, they will have to get both of the Ians back, Hugo Weaving, and Andy Serkis. But since they seemed to really enjoy working with PJ, they would probably do it in a heartbeat. But if they aren't able to get them back, I hope they just scrap it.

Seriously, I felt that they added tremendously to the story (Treebeard's Entmoot and March of the Ents still doesn't make sense though, how did they all just appear?). I especially love the end of TTT when Merry and Pippin found Saruman's stash: classic.


Treebeard's entmoot & march were part of the book. In the book it says something about Teebeard calling them all together. Besides, the trees are obviously alive (Note: the trees got up & walked one night) so they could have carried word to the rest of the Ents.


I know that it was in the book, but the fact is that in the book all of the Ents agreed at the Entmoot to go against Saruman. Do you not remember that long song treebeard sang about casting down towers and monstrosities? Anyway, in the movie all of a sudden these rare Ents that agreed to not get involved in the wars of men suddenly come out in droves right next to orthanc, which is around 200m from where treebeard had his entmoot: that was what I was referring to.

Star Wars Comic Discussion

I agree, the TPM comic just wasn't very good.

My favorites would also include the To the Last Man, Darklighter (loved the art style and detail), and the Pre-KJA Tales of the Jedi. For story and personality, it'd probably be Michael Stackpole's Rogue Squadron comics. But to tell you the truth, I didn't like Dark Empire all that much.
