Topic: Fondest Memory from the OT Days

I think my favourite memory of the OT was when I was 8, probably, in 1991, and my dad rented all three from the library. It was the first time that I'd watched any of them all the way through. I watched them start to finish, but fell asleep during Jedi, so I woke up the next morning to watch it.

Watching the end of Jedi on a Saturday morning. That's my memory. I wanted to know what happened!!

I gave up at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith. As soon as the word "War!" came across the screen I knew it was over. I'm usually very quiet during movies but the whole time while watching ROTS I kept shouting out at the screen like I was a cast member of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

The one part that made me panic that Lucas had lost his mind was when Obi-Wan said, "Wait a minute. Were smarter than this. How did this happen?" I thought for sure he had broken the 4th wall and was going to comment that this was totally out of character for him as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and that they needed to start over. I thought that they were in some training program, like Holodeck or something, running through the motions to try and get Palpatine back. I. Shit. You. Not. I remember thinking, "Oh my god...whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell is going on here?! Is Obi-Wan going to look at the camera and go "Sorry folks, we're starting the movie over."
Most of the time I just kept shouting, "Who wrote this crap!?" knowing full well who did.

I covered my eyes and went "Oh my goddddd...." during the balcony scene.

I was DIEING of laughter when the Emperor was all frog like and going "No! No! Unlimited Power!"

And the prize for worse scene ever was Vaders infamous Frankenstein, "NOOOOOOOOO!!" scene. Some guy next to me started saying (in a Frankenstein voice), "Rrrr! Vader Smash! Rwar!"

Of course I counter acted that with my earlier line when Palpatine turns to Anakin and says, "Oh Anakin, I have good news." I shouted out "I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance!" The whole row cracked up.

When Obi-Wan says "The Sith are evil!" and Anakin retorts with "From my point of view the Jedi are evil!" I just had to sarcastically shout out "Oooo! Obi-Wan got buuurned!"

When Palpatine says that he's giving Anakin a new title of head-whatever-of the Jedi councel Anakin woodenly says, "I'm overwhelmed." I just said to myself, "Yeah, I can tell..."

And of course Grevous sounds just like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. I can't STAND it. Everything he said I swore he was going to end with "For me to poop on!"

God ROTS sucked ass. It is the ONLY Star Wars movie that I actually fast forward though. Even TPM I can sit through the whole thing... But ROTS.... nope. When I walked out of the theater I thought it was the best of the 3 (which isn't say much) but now that I've seen it 3 times. I hate it more than I hate the other two movies. And that is painfuly sad.

No.

No what?

I have to agree with Jenny on this one. I enjoyed it the first time, but I suspended a lot of my disgust. I tried to hold it in, but couldn't help but burst into laughter at the Franken-Vader scene.

I laughed out loud only once during ROTS. Unfortunately, I don't think it was supposed to be funny. I laughed at Vader's "NOOO!" It was supposed to be dramatic, and I bleated in laughter. I found that rather indicative of the prequels.

When I was a kid, I always thought that he was human, or some other species that we had seen, and that it was the force that had kept him alive for 900 years. I mean, he still aged for those 900 years, but didn't die.

Then again, I thought the same thing of the emperor, that he looked the way he did because he was 250 years old or that.

Funny how the prequels changed all that.

But I'd only put the Bee Gees on this list if they were terrible. I suppose that's subjective, though. They're definitely in my collection, along with the Beach Boys!

Shimraa has a point. And while "THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR IT WILL EVER WORK," next year, just at 1756 instead of 1755. Oooh.

Nice find, though, Adam. It's like magic math, but with a Star Wars reference thrown in.

I alwasys thought he meant that the original SW was only 25% of the whole story, meaning that there'd be three more movies. We got five. I thought that's what he meant by that statement. He couldn't tell the whole story without it being an eight hour movie. Maybe I was wrong.

Again with the high and mighty! Make you feel good to tell me my opinion "doesn't work well in reality"? I don't think he had the right to change the Star Wars films. That is my opinion. The case is never closed.

You keep coming back to the same point. That's a good sign you're losing an arguement.

Changing one instance isn't going to change it all, Adam. Opinions are like assholes -- everyone has one, and most of them stink. I don't mind your opinion, but your use of "in fact," "actually," and other be-all-end-all statements grate my nerves. Don't ever, ever, tell me your assh....opinion is any better than anyone else's.

kev, prefering the directors cut is NOT blasphemy. In fact, it's the other way around.

I wouldn't have as big a problem with this statement if you didn't say "In fact." If someone prefers the directors cut, great. If someone prefers the theatrical cut, great. Don't tell me what is blasphemy. If it's your opinion that it's blasphemy, fine. Say so. But don't call it fact. That's blasphemy.

There was a great bit in an episode of Robot Chicken that was spoiling the end of ESB

Vader: Luke, I am your father.

Luke: That's not true! That's impossible!

Vader: And Princess Leia is your sister.

Luke: That's not true. That's improbable.

Vader: And the empire will be defeated by furry midgets.

Luke: Now you're just making stuff up!

(span of time)

Vader: (smoking) And when I was a kid, I made C-3P0. And the Force? That's really just bacteria in your blood called midichlorians.

Luke: (leaving) Look, call me when you get serious.

That's not exact, but it was along those lines
