The creature is in the film, its name is not. So yes, you brought it up.

And as I keep saying, canon is what you make of it, not what a corporation tells you it is.

Friendly reminder that the words “Ewok” or “Ewoks” are never said in ROTJ.

They were marketed so much both when the original film came out and when the SE made it to theatres that it became a household term. Even Oprah had a guy dressed as an ewok on her show back in the 90s (amongst other characters) when the SEs came out. It’s a bit different than to not know who Yarna d’al’ Gargan is.

I also don’t care about canon. Bultar Swan is still equally as fictional as Darth Bane

Ugh…

I expand my horizons through study and travel, not Star Wars books. Not that I do those often either, I just think “expanding horizons” is too grand of a term for Star Wars books

Other than Thrawn, don’t know or care who those are.

I guess we aren’t true fans of Star Wars… As our TF.N friends would say

Please include links to Wookieepedia when referencing creatures/characters whose names aren’t mentioned in the films (except for the ewoks of course).

Depends on who it is. Sentients like Darth Bane, Grand Admiral Thrawn or Exar Kun should be instantly identifiable names to any fan of Star Wars. Not knowing someone like Kas’im or Darth Talon is a completely different though.

I’ve never heard of any of those characters. I recognize Thrawn as the name of a book. The only Star Wars book I’ve ever read was the original “From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker” book.

I understand your point though that I’m more ignorant than most people on here when it comes to non-film related Star Wars media.

I wouldn’t say it’s mean. No more or less than “Low quality post”

What about Michael Gough?

Hello pot.

nice racial slur

Even Dane Cook can do better than that. Heck, even Carlos Mencia is funnier than this

1. Christopher Reeve is THE Superman, there is none better

What about Dean Cain?

It’s a genuine request. I don’t know what an Acklay is and I don’t care enough to find out.

Does myspleen still even allow invites to be given out anymore? I’ve actually never given one to anybody and I have no idea how to do it anyway.

Generally, Harmy releases his stuff to utoz, then someone else uploads to MySpleen with Harmy’s blessing.

utoz can be used with the program Jdownloader, or something similar.

Lord of the Rings trilogy. Minority Report. Gladiator. The Matrix. Pirates of the Caribbean. Armageddon. King Kong. The Fifth Element. Titanic. Independence Day.

Not that I like CGI and not that those films don’t have some flawed shots but there’s quite a few that have better work than the Prequels in the late 90s/early 2000s. The first Matrix especially, hasn’t dated at all (It helped that a lot was practical).

Those films work because they had a generally good mix of CGI and practical sets/effects, specifically in Lord of the Rings and Titanic. The second two prequels looked poor because they made no attempt to blend things seamlessly.

The Final Frontier [is] not [a] bad movie…

Yes. Yes it is. But it’s not mind numbingly or uncomfortably bad

I wouldn’t be so sure of that

Such a troll it’s not even funny anymore…if it ever was.

It never was but it’s still much better than this

Alien: F
Aliens: F
Alien3: C not great but I’m glad they didn’t release that awful Assembly Cut
Alien Resurrection: B It’s not too exciting but it’s smart science fiction
AvP - A- A huge step up from the earlier films in the series
AvP 2 - A+ What else needs to be said?

Prometheus - B

Oh yeah, I forgot it was made for kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vMUj8bKr2E

I couldn’t make it through that article. What an embarrassment for the New Yorker to have to be forever associated with such nonsense. I can’t help but think it’s trolling because of the part describing the “unlimited power” line as something to cheer for. It reminds me of a critic on rotten tomatoes who gave every Star Trek film a negative review except for Star Trek V: the Final Frontier, saying, “Who knew it just needed William Shatner in the director’s seat to breathe new life to the franchise” or something like that, which just has to be a fraudulent joke.

Couldn’t agree more. Phantom Menace was a warning sign, yet AOTC was what truly damaged Star Wars beyond repair.

The anticipation is killing me… Do those four tiny TIE fighters vanish? No judgement though if you didn’t erase them for those frames. This is a safe space

If only Harmy could send you the lossless files so you could erase them. Every time you watch that scene, you could feel a burst of pride in having fixed the most important moment in the trilogy. 😉

I’ve been obsessed with this change for nearly 20 years. When I first saw the Special Edition of Jedi I couldn’t wait to see this moment on the big screen. Imagine my dismay when I saw that the scene had been ruined and the vanishing TIE fighters “fixed”! I stood up in the middle of the theatre and screamed, “that’s bullshit!” and I threw my popcorn on the floor, and walked out; I even made sure to throw my soda at the screen before storming out of the theatre. I also demanded my money back at the front box office. They just ignored me though and told my mother that she needed to control her young.

What the hell is this?
