I would love to hear the reasoning in putting ANH fifth.

Mine are ranked in rewatchability order

I would love to hear why you consider ANH fifth in rewatchability.

My first four picks I find more pleasure in watching. Watching SW:ANH is like not fast forwarding the Lois Lane flying scene in Superman: The movie.

“Can you read my mind?”

I can’t tell if you’re just making a Superman joke or if you also agree.

Yes. No.

And all those calls are probably being recorded by someone.

And there’s a pretty good chance it’s not just the GRU recording them.

Wikipedia has such a list, assuming it’s accurate.

I have a whole bucket o’ mud that I can ship to Harmy instead if that helps.

Except that the blade of a lightsaber is not an actual beam of light. So their argument it invalid.

Okay?

I am.

Thank you.

Yes. I saw the previous post, but that one had to do with Star Wars.

Yes, albeit loosely. I opined about the included non-Star-Wars bit of it for all of one post. Such is the nature of conversation. It doesn’t always have to be strictly on topic all the time.

Since this is my thread (despite Neverar’s failed attempt at an end-run) I have decided that posts have to be strictly on topic all the time, but this only applies to your posts.

“Manny” Both-Hanz died to bring us this information.

Yeah it’s not the “random vague gibberish thread,” but it’s not surprising that people can’t grasp the concept.

Either you do not understand the concept of “extremely subtle”, or such insults are too subtle for you to grasp.

Make me a sandwich.

I feel I must turn in my Star Wars cred badge.

I just realized that Finn was named after Leia’s cell number.

Leia’s cell number was Finn?

JEDIT: OH… her Death Star cellblock unit number in A New Hope. Not her cellphone number.

To be fair, Han says “2187” very fast in that scene.

Instead of arguing and baiting each other about whether or not this thread is pointless, can we talk about the actual discussion, or rather the underlying cause of confrontation? Ender and I have both tried this. Neither post has been acknowledged yet.

I don’t see the point in arguing about whether we should argue about it here or there, or in a box or with a fox, or in a boat or with a goat.

Warbler created this thread. He wants to talk about it. But he doesn’t want to quote the whole of the relevant conversation in the Politics thread, and if he were to summarize it it would be with his spin. So he left it to us to find the source instead. Whether that’s the appropriate action or not is not the issue. It’s what he did. Stop derailing the thread about it. If you don’t want to read the source, then don’t. But don’t bait the OP over it.

I’m not sure the subject matter is important. It’s simply a personality conflict.

Okay, so part of the problem is Frink is very opinionated, and he often will often poke the bear. (As evidence of the latter, I submit the Burj-Khalifa bunny.)

Also part of the problem is that Warbler is very opinionated and has a hard time accepting his opinion as opinion instead of as truth. (As evidence of the latter, I submit the ST’09-killed-Trek-Prime argument in the Star Trek thread.)

Regarding the former in both cases, there is a middle ground between either of your positions on controversial issues, and you both have difficulty acknowledging the merit of the opposing view. Although it may appear to me for different reasons—Warbler does not acknowledge opposing view when he simply perceives it as wrong, not just different; Frink does not acknowledge opposing view when he simply doesn’t want to and it’s more funny for him to poke holes in it.

I wish the rest of my family loved Star Wars as much as I apparently do. My parents used to like it back in the day, but they seem to almost immediately glaze over whenever I mention Star Wars anymore.

Well, apparently Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials, had scathing things to say about LOTR and Narnia. He called Narnia sexist, and racist among other things, and seem to trivialize both series simply because their authors were people of faith. My brother in law says such an opinion is also apparent in the His Dark Materials series itself, so nope. I’m not really interested in reading it anymore. I’m not keen on being lectured why faith is stupid.

He can be agnostic or atheist or whatever, but holding himself as superior for it annoys me.

What does this have to do with Star Wars exactly?

It was in reference to the immediately preceding post.

I mentioned the other day that I was listening to the full cast audiobooks of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy this week in order to refresh my memory before reading his new one, and that Garrick Hagon (Biggs in SW) directed the production and played a role in the first book. Well, I just finished book two, and who turned up in that one but Julian Glover (General Veers in ESB)! I wonder which Star Wars alumni will be in part three.

In any case, apparently of the 3,100 documents involved in the JFK files, 300 were were redacted and/or omitted. So apparently the other 2,800 documents do nothing to stop the Grassy Knoll theory?

You know, the public doesn’t have to know everything about what the intelligence community does. Regardless of it being over a half-century ago. I think the media is just bummed that there isn’t much in the way of “breaking” news.
