feeling lonely here... :(

i'm staying out of this arguement.

btw, have we had anyword on whether or not there'll be more ships evacuating the

planet? will we see any as luke walks to his xwing and some ion cannon shots in the

background? during the first transport, there should be more ships. however, i do recall

one of the officers saying, "two fighters against a star destroyer?"

i just got back today. wow! u guys have gone through a lot of stuff! more on the hoth battle, i was wondering if we

could have troops disbanding from the AT-AT's or maybe some on the ground? i liked vaderios' ideas of the

brightened shots. lastly, when luke throws the detenator in through the hatch of the AT-AT, could we have a better

explosion or at least get rid of the multicolored lights and replace it with something else?

i know this is out of topic here, but i was watching ESB earlier and i was wondering if

we could update the radars in echo base like ady did in ANHR with yavin base with the

deathstar deal. its somewat believable, but nothing moves on them and when han

finds leia with general reiken in the control room. when a blast comes the panales

wobbled back and forth like plastic or something. anyway to improve that.

man its been quiet here today. wat to say to start up a topic? ummm.....i got nutin'. :(

Hey vaderios, I meant to ask before; what source do you use for the before pictures? 2004 DVDs?

 

Yes.

 

I would love to see a step by step of how you do it. I am just learning how to use photoshop.

 

I cant say much... Thats the part of mystery. I ll make a step by step tho...

Edit:

No idea why but I liked the idea of a bigger cape ;)

Call it artistic licence

 dude that is the freakiest thing ever. i agree it remind me of batman but if i saw that flying at me at night, i'd think it was a vampire!

Hello! I'm new to this forum, but I've been reading it for a while, and I stumbled across this idea today.

I'm a partner on YouTube (what with the revenue sharing and all) and have the time and resources to make this in stop-motion with Legos. Maybe we could all work something out?

lets see it!

yea right! prove it to me. pictures don't count and neither does video. i need concrete proof ur in prison. anyways, i

still can't wait to see that news report.

first off, mandalore was once a planet dominatied by mythosaurs. a mandalorian, named 'mand'alor the ultimate' lead

an attack on the planet and took it over. so the planet was named after him. mandalorians were originally gray

skinned, but evolved over time. the mandalorians are built up as warriors from birth and followed a code.

mandalorians are considered one of the most powerful factions in the known galaxy. the whole point of the style of

mandalorian armor was that it expressed their hearts and soul and just wasn't an identification. jengo fett was the

most feared because he was the most well known and dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy. there was even an

arena named after him and was to become the new madalore, basically its like a king. this is where bobba fett got

his reputation from. same genetic make up and same goals as his father. also thought to be the last of the

mandalorians until the yuzon van war.

yea raid the ranch! then i'll laugh when i see a news report that says, "group raids skywalker ranch has been

arrested for threats against GL and his star wars franchise. the are going to prison!" i don't think they have

computers in prison

i'm sure he's around. he's just busy with the movie. i bet he checks in periodically just to see our suggestions and applies them to his own ideas. only three months or about that, til the trailer.

Can't we have a film in which AOTC/ROTS Anakin, Mace Windu and prequels Yoda are all chewed up by a rancor or something? Without those three characters the prequels would have been a lot more bearable. Give me Jar Jar bleedin Binks any day over those three wankers.

 i'm sure u can do that with the proper software.

clone wars is fun to watch the second time around. i think the next t.v. series will be

even better. i just hope they don't use cgi this time. that's wat really killed the buzz for

me in this series. on the whole, i like the series. however, the novels fit in better with

bridging Episodes I and II together.

the sarlaac pit was a pit known to jabba and he used it to dispose of his enemies. the saralac originated from space. spores were spread through the galaxy and landed on planets and would eventually become sarlaacs. the younger could move from place to place. but as they grew older they would become less and less mobile.

God, this sort of bullshit explanation just totally kills the magic and mystery of sw.  I don't give a sh1t where the Sarlaac came from or what it actually is, it's just a cool freaky idea that got my imagination going when I was a kid.

If your stupid star wars money-making encyclopedia said the sarlacc pit was actually a big pussy in the desert (which it clearly is) you'd accept that too I suppose.

Geez... when did sw become this geeky crapfest?

What I don't care for in EU: Hot Chocolate.  LOL.

 

i thought the majority of this site was geeky? lol. i know a lot about the star wars universe. now the backstory

behind it, georgle lucas, authors, other directors, basically real world things, i don't know much about. all i really

know its what i've scene in the documentaries. want me to ruin more for u? i could tell u about the wampa or taun

taun. :)

in a news report a while back, youtube has been controversal for showing full t.v. shows, full movies and others. however, they have recognized the film talent of youtube and i think is a place for like a talent scout to go to. i've seen, "starwars reign of the fallen" and "starwars revelations". that's pretty impressive.

I can certainly see that you do. When it comes to knowledge of the SW Universe, I have no doubt that you have me bested. Perhaps you misinterpreted my previous post, I was agreeing with you in telling TheBoost that he ought to read an SW encyclopedia.

 

my mistake. i thought u had been refering to me. sorry. i feel like an idiot now. ;:(

Dont believe ya! Have you followed this thread?

Work that mind -Angel ;-)

(Im provoking you into action now!) ;-P

Back to action :P

 yea i agree it looks like a machine. if it went out quicker maybe it would work. i would say though to do something like this in ROTJ. it just looks like luke,s missing the gangstars/bounty hunters with his lightsaber.

It seems that alot of material in the EU is just an echo of what the movies do.

Jabba the Hutt is a big worm? How about an entire species of big worms that are all just like him, and are all gangsters too!

Jabba had a pet rancor? So what? Everyone has one. In fact, Rancors are about the most common animal in the galaxy. Right next to Banthas.

Greedo was a bounty hunter? So is every member of his species. He's like a halfling thief... rodians only have one potential life path.

Every criminal is a smuggler with a bounty on their head. Apparently the GFFA doesn't have any other crimes. Or any other way of dealing with criminals.

In a galaxy with millions of systems, every always seems to go to or have been to the same couple dozen.

Anakin had a secret wife? That's the Jedi equivalent of a priest with a drinking problem. Just look the other way.

Palpatine almost destroys the Jedi? Not a big deal. It had been done quite a few times before, and is done again a generation or two later.

Vader is a Jedi who falls to the dark side and is redeemed? Here's how "ROTJ" should have played out.

PALPATINE: "You must know now that your father can never be turned from the Dark Side."

LUKE: "Actually Empy, if you read up on your history, it's not at all uncommon. Darth Revan and Ulic Quel Droma come to mind. Someday my grandson will do it too."

VADER: "He's right boss. Maybe we should BOTH go back to the light side."

 

I don't know if it's writers or publishers afraid of inventing new ground, or Lucasfilm only approving things that have huge derivative elements, or what, but it's one of the reasons I just can't get into the EU. 

you need to read an star wars encyclopedia buddy. and i love the EU. it give me new ways to imagine the SW universer. btw, the final one there would make a good parody.

 

 

Yeah buddy! Read a SW Encylopedia for the Force's sake! If you had ever had the intelligence to read one, you'd have realized that it is a FACT that all Hutts are gansters (could of learned that from TPM too) and you'd have learned that all Rodians are by default bounty hunters, unless they are born female, then they are by default exotic dancers for Hutts. And all Gamorreans are guards, usually for Hutts. Eveybody who can afford it has a Rancor in their basement, only really rich people have Sarlacc pits for backup though. Rancors are actually rather cheap, but transplanting a Sarlacc in your back yeard will set you back considerably. You'd also learn that smuggling is among the worst of crimes under the Galactic Empire, and because the Empire covers such a large area, plenty of people feel they can get away with it, so millions of Rodians are hired by Hutts to go out and capture them.

You'd also have discovered that the official Jedi handbook actually has a loophole in it stating quite clearly that Jedi are allowed to have wives, as long as they are secret. Since most Jedi are nerds, very few Jedi ever manage to get married, so it is not a big deal.

Also, you'd have learned that there are only a handful of systems in the galaxy, but the Empire adds a bunch of fake systems to the star maps in order to make it look like the Empire is larger than it actually is.

You really should get yourself an SW encylopedia, you are clearly very uneducated and sound like an idiot posting on forums with people who have their doctorate in SW.

 

Okay, in all seriousness, it has been close to ten years since I have read any EU!!! :O   Can hardly believe it has been that long, but I am pretty sure I have not read anything Star Wars other than the prequel novelizations since 1999. I used to really enjoy some of them, and some of them sucked. Usually when they sucked I just put them down and grabbed another one. Sometimes they were cliched, but actually quite a few of them had some pretty original ideas in them, other than the fact that most centered around Han, Luke, and Leia. I have never heard of any other Rodians being bounty hunters (other than in SW: ANH SE) or any other Hutts being gangsters (other than when it was clearly stated that "the Hutts are gangsters!" in TPM).

The return from the darkside has always been really over done, one would assume it is a common occurance, since Anakin Skywalker did it, Luke Skywalker did it, and Kyle Katarn did it, as well as a few others I think, all before the dark times, before 1997.

From what I understand, the EU has become and even more tangled mess of crap in the years since. I enjoyed it in my day, but I have no desire to ever read one again except maybe some of the early ones I have already read and really enjoyed.

 

i have the latest  encyclopedia. i'll now adress everything u mentioned. Rodians were hunters on their own planet. after wiping out all the life, they hunted each other. yes, i does say most turned to the lives of bounty hunters. others remained on rodia and assembled clans to fight against each other. others were leaders to stop the fighting and others were senators for the republic. as u can see, not all rodians were bounty hunters.

most rancors were found on dathomere and feluciia. they were tamed by the inhabitants there and used as mounts as war machines, metaphorically speaking. once the empire rose, they took of advantage of the rancors and would capture and either use them for themselves or sale them off. jabbas was an untamed rancor which meant it was a newer generation of rancor.

the sarlaac pit was a pit known to jabba and he used it to dispose of his enemies. the saralac originated from space. spores were spread through the galaxy and landed on planets and would eventually become sarlaacs. the younger could move from place to place. but as they grew older they would become less and less mobile.

i've read the novels and already know smuggling is illegal. they would pull over ships when crossing a zone and search the ship. if anything was found, they would either be detained, killed or left to darth vader.

the rule of not being able to love for a jedi, if u read republic commando, u'd find there is a certain group of jedi who are a faction that support love for one another. besides, luke redid most of the jedi code once he establishe the NJO.

and gamorreans, some did serve as jabbas guards. they also were fighters and trained to fight in wars. they were seperated among clans. the females would tend to farming, hunting, manufacturing and running buisness. lots of gammoreans also were, aside from laborers, mercenaries and bounty hunters. they weren't confined to one profession as u clearly state.

as u can see my friend, i do know a little about the SW universe.

Yes. I was joking. I made that up.

But the franchise must be in a pretty sad state if y'all thought that might be true.

 thank god! i would say that it could be possible though. i still think jabba should of ate him at the end of clone wars. it looked like that's wat he was about to do.

Akwat Kbrana said:

Will the real Jabba the Hutt please stand up? No two versions look the same. The closest match is probably '83 and '99. The ANH versions are particularly sad. The question will remain: is "Jabba the Hutt" actually a conspiracy comprising a number of different hutts all going by the name "Jabba," or has ILM just gotten painfully lazy?

 

 

Actually, "Jabba the Hutt" is a title, not a name. Jabba's baby from the Clone Wars movie is the "Jabba" in ANH, who eventually grows into the ROTJ version.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to throw myself under a bus. 

 dude! i'm dying here! where did u hear this!
