“That’s part of our policy, is not to be taken seriously, because I think our opposition, whoever they may be, in all their manifest forms, don’t know how to handle humor. You know, and we are humorous, we are, what are they, Laurel and Hardy. That’s John and Yoko, and we stand a better chance under that guise, because all the serious people, like Martin Luther King, and Kennedy, and Gandhi, got shot.” -John Lennon

‘Oh, I don’t know. Is it that we collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man, even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children? Or maybe it’s that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit? The world itself’s just one big hoax. Spamming each other with our running commentary of bullshit, masquerading as insight, our social media faking as intimacy. Or is it that we voted for this? Not with our rigged elections, but with our things, our property, our money. I’m not saying anything new. We all know why we do this, not because Hunger Games books makes us happy, but because we wanna be sedated. Because it’s painful not to pretend, because we’re cowards. Fuck society’.

^ Mr Robot

There are a few other quotes on-point too…

‘Give a man a gun he’ll rob a bank. Give a man a bank and he’ll rob the world’.

I’ll end on one with a brighter outlook:-

‘You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream’ - C.S. Lewis (I think).

Edit - forgot this poignant one too…

‘Oh Well! Who wants to live forever? Dive!!!’ - Vultan

I’m planning to buy this jacket (insert ink here) as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. Any suggestion…??

Are you taking her back to 1976 to see the MidAmeriCon too? 😉

Welcome to the site - please take the time to look around - and find some topics of interest - I think there are a couple of Star Wars merchandise thread around somewhere too.

Though, unfortunately I’m not too sure about some members’ fashion sense on here… 😉

I see what you did there. Since it never actually turned on, you haven’t forgotten anything. We’re on to you.

Damn. Erm… it did a firmware update half way through. That’s the excuse and I’m sticking to it!

I’m okay - though my goldfish says his memory is now fantastic 😉 What he has seen… cannot be unseen…

(well, until the firmware update on this damn neuralizer finishes anyway 😃)

Back on topic…

Pesky Russians - I’d like to bitch that the friendliness on show last night at the footy between Liverpool vs Spartak Moscow fans just wasn’t on. When I go meet Russians I want to see cold, stoic authoritive types, in their cool hats with the floppy ears - not all this singing with each other, handshakes and laughter.

It’s just not cricket…

Which is a subject I’ll be avoiding as the cricket currently on display be England is truly worthy of a bitching-fest.

There are many box sets and 3-in-1 covers in here mate:-

http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/An-Index-Thread-Box-Sets-3-in-1-Trilogy-covers-single-case-sets-useful-links/id/53673

Hopefully you’ll see something that catches the eye, though there are some some decent art/poster sites in that link too. It may also be worth having a look at Star Wars book box art or audio art for ideas and inspiration (and maybe other sci-fi content too).

Something like this, maybe:-

Good luck with it 😃

Hi Rogue85 and welcome to the site.

You can find a fair few differing covers and artwork links (as well as some useful links) in here mate:-

Also, please take the time to look around this section of the site to try and find what you are looking for - there are many classic posters that have appeared on the various releases of Star Wars down the years - but hopefully you’ll find what you are looking for.

Good luck 😃

I sat through a Star Wars marathon earlier this year, starting from Phantom Menace, through to ROTJ, and it was awful. By the time I got to the good stuff, everyone else was fatigued and sleeping. We had TFA, but I was the only one up by the end of ROTJ, and I was kind of sick of it all by then.

If I had to do it again, I’d just watch Star Wars and call it a day.

I don’t know how people do it (watching all 7/8 films) - especially when you get past your 30’s and need afternoon power nap too 😉

I’m in my 40’s - man, I couldn’t watch more than a couple of films before losing focus - even if they were good films (personally… something that Prequels are not counted amongst).

Fair play to you for getting to the end of ROTJ.

Back in 2012/2013/2014, I’d watch seven-to-ten movies a day, often back-to-back. Honestly, I don’t know how I managed it. I’m lucky if I can get through three movies in a night now.

Porn doesn’t count mate 😉 (does it?)

Did your chair have it’s own butt groove? I hope they were all very good films.
