What's the problem so many people have with animation anyway? I mean, all it is is a different medium to tell a story. Not all animated shows are silly like so many seem to think.
What an incite!


Is someone starting a riot, or was this a comment about his tremendous insight?
Sorry YIYF, just razzing you. Grammar hits us all. No hard feelings, I hope.
Shit, I can't belive I actually made that mistake. I hang my head in shame

Actually, most fans don't feel that way, from what I've read. ANH isn't even supposed to be about "Anakin's struggle." No, Anakin is dead. It's supposed to be about Vader's position in the empire and is supposed to show him being controlled by higher up members of the empire. He is supposed to be portrayed as heartless and tyranical. And it does a pretty good job of showing that, IMHO. I mean, someone would have to be pretty dumb to think that ANH shows, or is even supposed to show, his "struggles." The idea introduced in ROTS is that the Emperor had created a monster who was no longer the good man Anakin Skywalker was. There was no "struggle" in the ways that he had as Anakin. And no, ROTS does not diminish the greatness of ANH.
Yawn...

They probably did exist at some point and may still exist but are lost. Whether or not they had/have any 'magical' powers, well it could just be legend. That's the thing about legends - you never know. Have you read the Da Vinci code? If not, it's a pretty good 'popular' introduction to an old grail theory.

I got my copy of building Empire yesterday courtesy of oojason and gave it a quick run through. First impressions are excellent and I can't wait to watch it properly - this is how the official commentary's should be.

Sky, those covers are EXCELLENT and I definitely want one of them for my copy of building empire. But maybe you could do one using Jambe's building empire logo?

However, "Star Wars" from 1977 walked home with 7 oscars. Guess which boat that movie gets to float in with? That's right, "Casablanca," "Gone With the Wind," "Lawrence of Arabia," "Titanic," a whole plethora of outstanding acadamy award winning movies.


It was new. Vietnam was over. It was a breath of fresh air.

I'm sick of hearing you spout some soundbite you heard on a documentary you just watched last week or some article you read. Fuck Vietnam. I don't want to hear any revisionist movie historian vietnam crap. Maybe it was a factor, sure, but Star Wars captured so many hearts and minds for other reasons. I'm English. I live in England. I was born in 1981. I first saw Star Wars probably in about 1985 or 6. I still love it, I love the OT. THe prequels are just not as good. Shut up about Vietnam. Shut up, Shut up, shut up, shut up, SHUT UP. The prequels didn't win shit cos they ARE shit, and you are a teenybopper neophyte who regurgitates the bullshit excuses of the Lucas and co and then flip flop to hating them and calling McCallum an asskisser depending on who you're trying to piss off/appease at the time. One minute you hate them, one minute you're backing them up and I get the distinct impression you don't even really care either way and are just saying wahtever to bait people. Maybe it makes you feel imprtant or something, and I know by posting this I am just feeding your need for attention but please, make your fucking mind up, and maybe try developing a mind of your own so you can bring something worthwhile to a discussion. If Jay wants to ban me, so be it, I'll be very sad, but I just have to say people like you are ruining Star Wars, and you personally are ruining my enjoyment of OT.com. You have nothing to say, and you say it repeatedly. I was reading Star Wars books and watching documentaries before you could fucking walk, I have already read or heard every view/opinion/lucas lie/anecdote/vietnam statement.

I've already explained my views on the disappointing Kong. Narnia was good but only because I have a soft spot for the books from when I was a kid - not sure how it actually rates as a movie or even an adaptation. I haven't seen Serenity, Batman Begins was pretty good but didn't make my willy go as hard as it did some of you guys, and I like Hitchhikers guide a lot, although it seemed a bit rushed and probably didn't make much sense to a lot of people.

I just looked at a list of every movie released in 2005 and of the ones I've seen, which is basiaclly all the major releases and a few not so major, I really can't justify creating a top 5 list. The films I really enjoyed the most were Howl's moving Castle, Wallace and Gromit and Harry Potter 4. The films last year were so awful, ROTS makes my list just because it's Star Wars.
