Why doesn't Annikin (PT and CW versions) not speak with a British accent as he does in ROTJ? Also, why doesn't he speak with the same style and mannerisms as he does once he's put in the Vader suit? I can't imagine PT/CW Annikin saying anything OT Vader does or vice versa.
So since we know C-3PO will be in the prequels...
Any ideas about the origins of his silver leg?
Is it better to leave it a mystery or give an explanation?

I dunno how you're able to live continuously in 1996, but I envy you.
There was loud applause during the Fox and LF logos opening nights of the SEs and Ep1. Mild cheering for Ep. 2 and nothing when I saw Ep.3.
For Ep.7, people will be too busy tweeing "OH-M-GEE! The Movee is startin! Gonna b tha best eva!! YOLO! LMFAO!!" to even know what the opening logos look like.
Hey! Let's keep a little optimism here.
Not at Alamo Drafthouse. ;)
I'm jealous! The audience isn't quite the same at good 'ol Cinnema 16... : (

Since I don't put the games in any timeline and instead look at most of them as a re-telling of the same legend, I interpreted Demises "curse" as nothing more than a dying demon lord grasping at straws.
The Zelda series is by far my favorite game series. Anyone else love Adventure Of Link? It's the black sheep, but it's one of my favorites.
I'll throw out my favorite titles. In no particular order...
LOZ, AOL, ALTTP, OOT, MC, SS
I still haven't played through The Wind Waker. Dunno why. Love the style, story and game play as far as I've played, just never finished. Other than that one, I've played through all of the official games except the DS ones and the remakes.
Also, anyone else hate the official timeline? Or ANY time line? I think of most of the games as a retelling of the same legend.

8. Skyward Sword (though fighting the imprisoned 4 times made kind of hate it, would've been top five without that)
Just curious, but do you smash his fingers and toes when you fight him? Most people who complain about the Imprisoned do it that way. (Hint: You're not supposed to bother with that!)
post abandoned.
After reading through the news and updates on the past few pages, all I can say is...
Bob Casale, guitarist and founding member of Devo is dead at 61.
I'm very sad.
(I put a Devo reference on my avatar, next day Bob dies. Coincidence? Yes.)
It's probably a fuse and the thing will explode at the closing ceremony revealing the Imperial logo.

I have no problem with eroticism of any kind in fiction. But it's totally out of place in a cartoon for children.
Now don't be ridiculous. The cartoon is based on and filled with violence scenes. And you complain about robot with breasts (not even naked ones)?
It funny how our society works. They let kids watch films where people are killing each other... but god forbid the kid will see some breasts.
I already said I don't know much about the show. And I'm not complaining about some kids seeing some robo-tits, I'm complaining about the sexist way in which the robots are portrayed and treated.
I'd also like to add that I really don't give a sh*t. It just struck me as odd.
Anybody notice that if you view the flame monument from above it looks like the Rebel Alliance logo?

TCW being purely a kid's show is up for debate.
I haven't seen enough of it to know really. I've only watched a handful of random episodes. I just thought that the sexbots stood out as out of place and obviously sexist. They don't even serve as a "hero is distress" scenario like the Jabba/Leia thing. They're just there to shake ass and take orders. I'd like to have one, but it just doesn't seem like a Star Wars thing and it doesn't seem like something I'd want my kids blah blah blah overlypreachyblathering.
The Metropolis robot is very tame and family friendly. Especially compared to the obvious sex-bots in TCW. I have no problem with eroticism of any kind in fiction. But it's totally out of place in a cartoon for children.

When we meet Han he IS NOT A HERO. Any Young Han tale would under mine that.
But why does he have to be a 'hero' in the film? He wasn't any more of a bad guy than I am. A drug dealing scoundrel? Yes. But not a bad guy. There are several very good films about such people. Disney hasn't and wont make one though.
Watched an episode of TCW on Saturday night... I have many questions about the episode I watched and the show in general, but mostly...
Why are there so many 'female' robots with huge boobs, huge hips and an ass that shakes when they walk? They were used as waitresses in a restaurant, seen wandering the streets in the background of several scenes and also as assistants to... someone. It all seemed incredibly sexist and very un-Star Wars (well, most everything seemed un-Star Wars).
Why do the robots need to look female? None look particularly male. The robots in Star Wars all seem genderless...

Why didn't Han pay off Jabba in between ANH and ESB?
It's explained in the conversation between Han and Leia in the hallway scene in ESB that Han had decided to stay and help the rebellion. He'd be pretty hard for Jabba to find while running with such an organization. However, as is explained in said scene, a bounty hunter still managed to track Han down, changing his plans. So, as the rebels prepare to evacuate the Hoth base, Han and Chewie prepare a trip to deliver the money to Jabba. However, those plans get changed as well....
You should check out The Empire Strikes Back sometime. It's a pretty good movie. ; )

I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed by yet another Jedi myself..
I was really hoping that there would be no jedi or sith or lightsabers in this series at all. I'm so sick of that. It's the least interesting thing about the Star Wars world to me and it's been done to death.
That's awesome, Duracell! I would certainly pick up every issue of that and then pray for a film adaptation.

Finally watched Spider-man 3: No Sandman Edition.........
That sounds pretty interesting, but the only thing in Spidey 3 that I liked was Sandman. Not so much his involvement in Uncle Ben's death, but the rest of his story was pretty good from what I remember and I thought his transformation scene looked really cool. I haven't checked out any Spidey 3 edits, but maybe I'll look into some. I've been working on edits of 1 and 2 for a few months. I thought about starting a thread for 'em, but I have so much on the horizon that it may be a long time before I can really focus on them.
God I love barber shops. No better place on Earth than an old local barber shop. The smells, the conversation, the history of the place. I was way overdue, but now my pompadour is back in order. I also learned that my barbers favorite movie is The Empire Strikes Back. I knew he was a good chap! Why we've never talked films before is beyond me..
^Yes! Love Hedwig!

I have to say I am very conflicted about this games(the story about the dogs, the corruption behind the scenes in Sochi, Putin, the homophobia, the threat of terrorist attacks, etc.). I wish conditions could be different. I think Sochi and Russia was a bad choice.
