Still waiting for that “standalone” Star Wars film to be announced.

You know, the one that doesn’t completely rely on my foreknowledge of the other Star Wars films in order to be coherent.

Ah, yes! From a business standpoint, I want to drop 4 billion on a franchise so I can make movies that are very remotely related and will alienate multiple elements from a fanbase and ensure my investment does not pay off. Sounds like a great idea!

From a fan standpoint, I want to watch a series of movies that supposedly take place in the same universe as another series of movies, but without any references, nods, characters, or elements from the previously established series. That’s the sort of thing that helps me connect it to the films I already love! Sounds like a great idea!

There is plenty of time to explore tangentially-related elements. For now, we can enjoy a little bit of something we can already relate to and have already grown to love.

It’s nice too see several users who’ve been gone popping back in. But will they stay?
And Bingo should post more.
And Duracell should use his awesome avatar with him and the lasers and the 3d glasses.
And Ender should send me a new, updated pic to keep in my wallet.

I told you, I don’t have any pictures of my breasts with a breastfeeding child! That’s not what nursing school was about!

I can’t wait to see how this sentence ends.

Gotta stop posting with my phone.

^Maybe not the worst, but one of Frink’s worst for sure.

I think this thread is never gonna take off.

Maybe if you included some pictures of breasts (with nursing babies covering the nipples, of course).

Oh good all the crazy is out in force today.

I love how national tragedy can bring all of us together like this–it’s all so heartwarming!

So urine need of a new phone then?

No, because I have an extended warranty.

Also, thankfully, there were no bodily fluids or solids in the toilet.

Well, crap! I’ll bet that pissed you off! Looks like you just need to take the plunge and drop a load to buy a new phone. Don’t blow all your money though–you gotta pinch it off somewhere.

Why does he say “ok we’re going, we’re going” in reaction to something that simply is not there?

I had always assumed R2 was anxious because the base was being overrun by the empire & they appear to be among the last to be leaving.
Everyone else around them do look pretty calm though as they’re packing their bags, perhaps it’s a different exit from the base that’s behind them 😃

Cheers, Paul

Yeah you can look at it that way and I will also accept it’s very feasible but R2-D2 is worried I got the quote wrong “Don’t worry… We’re going we’re going” and it does work but you know it just leaves you wondering when you know some facts and ROTJ does not really leave you wondering at all. it’s all pretty self explanatory no mystery.

ESB is for the most part pretty well un-open to interpretation and totally explained but when you delve a bit deeper you just wonder on a few things and I think this is one of them and probably the insert don’t help. Just saying it feels like it should be in reaction to “Something” and although all that has passed is not all good it does often feel like stuff is not quite right or something missing. “Who knows” is the real answer and that would be the people that were making it including Lucus.

This was never a mystery to me, not even as a child. It’s always been pretty clear that he is responding to R2’s anxious warblings. It’s like when you’re nagging your wife that she’s going to make you late for a dinner party and she responds with some annoyance as she puts on her last earring,“Don’t worry, dear, we’re going, we’re going.” I don’t need to ask Mucus (sic) for clarification.

I seriously had no idea he’d returned when I made the above post!

Yes, I reported him.

Did adywan explain why he removed the Tibanna gas from empire?

The Special Edition thing? Probably he didn’t like it because it distracted from the actual city.

Also were there scenes or dialog removed that weren’t mention on swrevisited wordpress?

I don’t think so.

Oh ok thanks just thought he made a continuity error because it’s a Tibanna gas city after all.

How would that be a continuity error?

Because where is the gas? the gas is show in all star wars media on bespin

Funny, I was just talking about you, jedimasterobiwan. If your posting style didn’t give you away, your name certainly did.

Poor jedimasterobiwan is probably having a conniption right now with ESB:R out and no way to ask annoying questions.

Gene Kelley will always be one of my favorite actors of all time.

That was my favorite teaser! I remember the surprise and was elated when I saw it!

Jar-Jar sock confirmed.

Best post of the day!

Yes, come back soon!

They’re working fine for me! Thanks a million, Adywan! So excited!

He’s just being a troll! Don’t feed the troll!

It was a reference to age (Grand Old Party, as well as the aged perspective). I meant we should kill the Party. Remember when Democeats had even firmer control during '08-'09? Things definitely can change quickly. People were talking about letting the GOP die and replacing it then, or at least splitting it. Perhaps the next swing back to Democrat control will finalize a split. It would be chaos for conservatism for a time, but hopefully the new party would win the battle and Republicanism would die swiftly. It was a good party once, but it has been taken over by too many unreasonable fools.

This week has been rough for me at work and school. If this is really happening, all will be right again in the universe!

Let’s face it, the country’s run by crooks 😕

How does a guy who is so far Left get to be so reasonable and willing to listen to other perspectives? 😉

Well played. I figured it could be used for fun now, disregarding the previous drama.

You swell guy, you!

JEDIT: autocorrect typos fixed.

Nice bandana, Duracell.
