The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway consists of two parallel bridges which are the longest in the world. Crossing over Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana, the longer of the two bridges is 23 miles 1,538 yards (38.422 km) long.


We have a 8 mile bridge over here, between rio de janeiro and niteroi.

It's not that pricey to flip it over, and most mangas used to be publiched that way, even computer colorized (like Akira). But then the whole manga and anime thing stop being an "underground" cult and became mainstream - which is good AND bad at the same time - and manga are now published on it's correct form.

It has been a while since I've read non-japanese comics, so when I get one, I tend to read from right to left, and then I realize it's not manga

And he wrote all of the prequels as he went along with it... Now, as I've said before, there is nothing wrong in making it up as you go, but why lie to the media claiming you're a genius who concieved 4, uh I mean 3, uh I mean 2 trilogies back in 1974?


Just wondering, is there any evidence that Lucas literally made that up on the plane ride over? Wasn't that just Mark Hammil joking with George (as in, "Did you just make that up on the plane ride over?")?


I'll look into it, but I'm pretty sure he came up with that on an airplane or in the bathroom

OK seriously speaking, I got that from the Mark Hammil comment, which I belive was not really intended as a full joke, if he said such a thing, that's because no one knew about it before GL got aboard on the plane.

Am I the only one who thinks the CGI effects look fake?

Now, I might sound insane, but the only moment I found the CGI Yoda to look like a puppet is in ROTS, when he is figthing with Palpatine and he falls and grabs into that senate booth thing, there's a 2 or 3 second shot showing Yoda from a distance, trying to hold himself into that thing, he looked like the ESB puppet during those 2 or 3 seconds.

Indeed, so you cannot call it "terrbile controller".

From what I've read, it'll probably feature a touchscreen in which the buttons will appear, depending on the game. When you're playing a NES game, for instance, you'll see the classic A and B buttons, when playing SNES, YXBA, when playing a different game which requires only three buttons, you'll get the three buttons, and so on...
