I'll just respond, then go away from the thread.
No, actually, I'm NOT listening. I cannot stand to listen.
The # 1 stop for kids on the library computers is Yahoo!Music (previously known as Launch).

Maybe the music is good and I'm not giving it a chance, but I've seen the same kids for years, watching them grow, and I've watched what happened to them as they grow WITH THIS MUSIC and it almost frightens me.
Every other word is 4-letters.
Talking about murdering family, friends, etc.
(And don't get me started on the actual music videos...I've seen R movies that were less graphic. Dancing poles and clothes covering less than the handkerchef I carry in my pocket.)

That is not the "meaning and truth" I see.

Last thing: I own 1 cassette, it came from a box of cereal, that has rap on it. A single of Kid and Play's Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody.

I'm with you Chaltab.
To me, Rap is Retards Attempting Poetry.

I listen to all kinds of music. Rap, might be the only kind that I will make the blanket statement that I cannot stand it.
I don't like opera, but there are portions of Mozart's The Magical Flute I enjoy. I couldn't sit through an opera, but I could easily hand-pick arias and such that I will listen to.
Disco is an abomination, yet if I hear YMCA or Turn the Beat Around, I cannot help but start tapping a toe or humming along.

According to the version of the tf.n TimeTales I have saved for my Fan Fiction project (research), the events of the 2 movies are "not long before Return of the Jedi".

If I recall the timeline in my Behind the Magic CDs, this also says that the movies happened before ROTJ.

If you want to know why they let the Ewoks talk english (basic), its very simple. They didn't want to bring in a narrator like that had in the first movie.

If you need an 'in-movie' explanation...how about this: Cindel and her family didn't speak basic (though we heard it). Wicket gains a rudimentary idea of the language.
In ROTJ, the rebels did speak basic.

The reason I didn't go that low is that no SW movie has ever made less than $290 million. Even though some of the public might be burned on it, this is the final episode of the series (or so we hope). Here are the U.S. Box Office totals for the first five movies...

Episode I - The Phantom Menace - $431,088,301
Episode II - Attack of the Clones - $310,676,740
Episode IV - A New Hope - $460,998,007
Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back - $290,475,067
Episode VI - Return of the Jedi - $309,306,177
(courtesy of Box Office Mojo)

Maybe it won't be as good or bring in as many people, but ticket prices are constantly on the rise. So that'll make up for it.

Oh, and go fig that my fave episode is the lowest earner. Aye aye aye.
Adjust for inflation. You'll see that AOTC was the worst money maker of the bunch.
In fact, using the adjustments, the values put them in the order they were made.

Have to agree.
First Contact was great, but I was not entirely impressed with the other 2.

That's close, but not quite there.

The Imperial ship was to pick up Imperial troops from specific planets, then indoctrinate them to hate Jedi so the ship and the troops could attack one of the last jedi outposts. When Callista got to the ship and into its computer, she delayed the mission.
After years, the troops died or left, and when the ship finally tried to execute its mission, it picked up any random sentient life that was nearby it when it reached a planet, including Gamorreans, Jawas, Luke and others.

Yessiree.
Was tempted a couple times before that to get it, but the $20 was just too good a price.
...
(goes off on a tangent)
Hey, its only 2 weeks before the Star Trek: First Contact SE comes out.
I'm getting that, Hogan's Heroes Season 1, Aladdin (last of the good Disney full-length animated) and Love Happy to complete my Marx Brothers DVD collection.

I have not played Metroid Prime, but my brother has it. Got it for Christmas this past year.

What Windexed isreferring to is commonly called "Z-Targetting". It was innovated by Nintendo in Zelda: OoT. The name comes from the fact that the 'Z' button was used to target and lock on to an enemy. With the changeover to Gamecube, the term stuck.

I imagine that on a FPS, it could be a little disorienting, but it keeps your gun trained on an enemy, so its a good thing.

You guys do know we see the darker side of Star Wars in Caravan of Courage, right?
Deej, Wicket's father, has a filthy mouth.

In the beginning of the movie, after the 2 brothers have fallen and are wrestling on the ground, Deej says "Oh, feech!"

I did some checking, the "official" translation is 'fooey', but if you listen to HOW he says it, you'll understand that the intent behind it is a slightly harsher f-word.
