4) Your car is called "The Falcon."
I really do call my car the falocon all the time. 'Let's take the falcon', etc. I haven't called it 'the car' in ages. Even my friends now refeet o my car as 'The Falcon'. The funny thing is my car is pretty old (21 years), but really weell and affectionately cared for, just like the real falcon
5) When sweeping/raking/mopping/shoveling you can't help but swing your handle around and "Bzzrroom! Zrroom!"
I guess I've done that but not everytime I pick up a mop.

Can't say I do, but from now on I will
7) You’re not quite sure where to put your copy of TPM, AOTC, and ROTS on the video shelf - Before or after the original trilogy? In the middle of the re-mastered set? After the original releases but before the Special Edition box set? And where should the 2004 DVD's go?

Like I said, it's 'The Falcon'
12) When ever taking off or landing in an airplane, you wish that the Captain would say over the intercom, "This is it! Lock S-foils in attack position!"
That would be cool

The OT cast
19) When ever you buy a new appliance you make sure that it speaks Bocce.
I couldn't live with a non-bocce speaking toaster
20) When something is out of reach you close your eyes and try to bring it to you by using the force.
All the time. One day I'll get it
21) Yoda and Obi-Wan appear to you in your dreams and you take their advice on a regular basis.
Not yet

Definitely
23) You listen to Star Wars music for insparation.
Yes
24) You have tried to force choke people that have pissed you off.
No, cos that's the Dark Side
25) When people make fun of your car/van/boat/bike/jetski you say "She'll make point 5 past lightspeed."
I've been known to say that
26) You defend the acting of Mark Hamill passionately.
Seriously, Mark Hamill is a great actor
27) You wave your hand purposefully and "use the Force" to open automatic doors or elevator doors.
Yes
28) You bought the game Wing Commander III and/or IV just because Mark Hamill was in it.
No, but I only know what it is or that it even exists because of him
29) You've referred to Wedge Antilles or Boba Fett as "The Man."
Yes
30) Any time you are putting on a glove on your right hand it is because you have to cover up the cybernetics that are now showing.

Yeah, I thought Eccleston done a good job too and I was pretty peeved he quit because I thought all the good work would be for nothing and the series would die, but it looks like they are making the most of Eccleston's departure by playing on the fact that he looks different and nobody recognises him, until he gets down to business and his actions show that he is definietly the doctor.

P.S Jason, can't reply to PMs, but I don't actually have Rikter's postal address. You need to talk to PSYCHO_DAYV.

Why Boba Fett is now bunk

I love that some of the American members of this site have adopted the word 'wank'.

For christmas my Brother bought me the Star Wars 'saga edition' chess set. 'Very cool' thought I upon unwrapping it. However, it wasn't until we actually played it that I realised the true extent of Lucas' insanity. Had this chess set been produced a decade ago, Luke and Leia would undoubtedly been King and Queen, With Ben and Yoda as Bishops (advisors, pulling the strings in the background), Han and Chewie as Knights, and possobly artoo and threepio as rooks. The dark side would have consisted of Vader and the Emperor as King and Queen, and an assortment of imperial henchmen such as Tarkin as the other pieces, with Boba Fett making an appearence. Pawns on both sides would have been either Stormtroopers Vs Rebel commandos or X-Wings Vs Tie Fighters. To me, this sums up the true Star Wars.

However, in this 'Saga Edition', the King and Queen are young obi-wan and monkey lightsaber yoda. Luke and Leia have been reduced to bishops, Han and Chewie are still Knights, and padme is a rook, with R2 and Threepio reduced to sharing a piece as the other rook. The dark side consists of Vader and the Emperor as King and Queen, General grievous and one of his night stick droid bodygaurd guys as bishops, Boba and Jango Fett as Knights, and Darth Maul and Count Dooku as Rooks.

This means, in the new and 'official' Star Wars universe, General grievous and his gay robocop bodygaurd are considered equal in importance and, presumably, battle skills, to Luke Skywalker (!!!) and his sister Leia, whom is both a princess and key member of the allinace that eventually topples the empire. Han and Chewie Vs Boba Fett I can accept, but Darth Maul Vs Threepio and Artoo? Pawns on both sides are stormtroopers (old republic clone troopers for the goodies, imperial stormtroopers for the baddies).

I know it's only chess, I know it's only a second rate Star Wars cash cow product. But the fact that Luke is now a second rate supporting charcter really irritated me.

Rant over.

I've been away for a while, so this is kinda old news, but on Christmas Day BBC1 aired a Doctpr Who Christmas special starring David Tennant as The Doctor. I'm a sort of closet Doctor Who fan, and I really enjoyed it. I really liked Tennant's Doctor and I'm looking forward to seeing him in a new series. I also think the new Doctor's dress sense is much more befitting of a timelord than Chistopher Eccleston's leather jacket (not that it really matters). Did anybody else see the show or have any comments?

I used to have a problem with Kev but now we're buddies - the same cannot be said of Adam. His nice-guy act makes me nauseous. I have stopped frequenting the general Star Wars discussion because of Adam and the boring prequel vs OT 'discussions', but I must admit he has been keeping the peace in the off-topic section, so as long as things stay that way, I'm happy to let the guy be. Having said that, I'm with Warbler on this one, and I am watching you.

Anyway, let's not turn this into the AWK thread (too many threads have already fallen down that hole, and he thrives on the attention).

Once again, the deadline is as follows:

DEADLINES:

East Coast: 7pm, Friday December 23rd
Midwest: 6pm, Friday December 23rd
Mountain: 5pm, Friday December 23rd
West Coast: 4pm, Friday December 23rd.
