That's good to hear, I suppose. There's a stereotype of Mormons as rich or middle-class white people, which isn't super-surprising given the LDS's history with African-Americans (I assume you know what I mean?), so it's good to hear that's changed.
In all seriousness, I have never heard of a poor black Mormon. I'm definitely open to counterexamples.
Incidentally, that difference filter view is a pretty sweet logo

[Explaining Spock's odd behavior] Oh, him? He's harmless. Part of the free speech movement at Berkeley in the sixties. I think he did a little too much LDS.
Oh, I got the reference, no worries there. I was referring to the "What does God need with a spaceship?" bit.
Isn't this project technically misnamed, as true crushed blacks are areas where there was once variation in color but are now all solid-black and thus irrecoverable?

Ah, yes, one of my favorite jokes in the film. Spock really got into the '60s after all, and did a little too much LDS.

You did catch the part where I mentioned I was six or seven years old at the time, right?
I did not! That changes everything. Never mind.
My mistake!
Vimeo doesn't allow for anything you didn't make yourself, though. Can you even do the private video thing?
Audio and video. The trick is to make it a private video, not public. We'll be able to see when you post the link, but nothing else should happen.
All these accusation of Lucas using Sith Eyes because he's lazy or whatever smell like Lucas-bashing for the sake of Lucas-bashing, a trap these boards fall into all too often.
Sith Eyes were used in ROTS because they look cool.
You may say they look stupid, but you're also potentially blinded by your intense PT/Lucas-hatred. They look cool, so they put them in. To think that the audience would not understand that Anakin is evil after he killed Jedi "Younglings" is absurd, and it's completely unnecessary to accuse Lucas of that.

I grew up in city that had a large enough Mormon population that we had a massive temple in the middle of it. If you were white and middle-class in that town, there was a very high chance you were Mormon. I once had an elderly woman approach me in the toy section at some department store when I was six or seven and tell me what an adorable young man I was, then asked if I was LDS. When I told her "no" her response was to look away, say "That's ashame." and not say another word to me. Creepy to start with, that just made it creepier.
My guess? She has a granddaughter and was looking for a nice, young, handsome LDS guy for her. Mormons can't marry non-Mormons, so she wasn't interested in your meeting her granddaughter anymore.
I'd be interested in hearing thoughts about the "white and middle-class" bit, though.
And the master's clones!
Actually, that's an EU question...There were plenty of Palpy-clones. What about Ani-clones?
Earlier in the thread you said that Christians and Mormons don't really believe very different things. This struck me as odd, as I just read a blog post by Al Mohler, a very conservative Baptist with whom I disagree about a lot (particularly Genesis, age of Earth, etc), in which he went on and on about how Mormons and Christians believe very different things. I'm not particularly interested in his point ("Is it okay to vote for Mitt Romney?!?!?!"), but I was hoping you could respond to his points about the differences, some of which I've quoted below.
Mormonism starts with an understanding of God that rejects both monotheism and the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. The Mormon concept of God includes many gods, not one. Furthermore, Mormonism teaches that we are now what God once was and are becoming what He now is. The Mormon doctrine of sin is not that of biblical Christianity, nor is its teaching concerning salvation. Rather than teaching that the death of Christ is alone sufficient for the forgiveness of sins, Mormonism presents a scheme of salvation that amounts to the progressive deification of the believer. According to Mormonism, sinners are not justified by faith alone, but also by works of righteousness and obedience. Mormonism’s teachings concerning Jesus Christ start with a radically different understanding of the Virgin Birth and proceed to a fundamentally different understanding of Christ’s work of salvation.
So, uh, thoughts?
No no no I mean the Clones Marching On Kamino music from AOTC!

The Phantom Menace is by far the worst. Other than Duel of the Fates, I can't think of a single memorable track.
Given that several of us seem quite able to hum "Augie's Great Municipal Band", and I frequently recall that Trade Federation Droid Marching Theme, I have to disagree. Heck, as I write this, I suddenly remembered how Anakin's theme goes.

Perhaps you recall the NNRRPPB! thread?
Please, enlighten me.
Hypothetically. A digital creation is only as long-lived as its copies. No copies? Short life.

And which one is the worst? *runs for cover*
Not the worst per se, but I never liked the vocal backing to the celebration at the end of TPM. Other than that I can't think of anything. Except Jedi Rocks.
The chorus is a little weird there... but it is the Emperor's Theme in a different key/octave/tempo, so that's pretty cool.
Also, what about Lapti Nek? Better than Jedi Rocks, but...
You know what works better? Only as much continuity as any writer feels like. The "Seasonal Timelines" model does a terrible job of explaining why all timelines shown to viewers after a certain point lack Maude Flanders.
Well, maybe they'll hire Conan O'Brien to write the series finale, whenever that happens?

Sorry for recycling idea's this thread is so long though I haven't read many of the pages.
It's definitely okay. This thread is so long that probably only Bingo knows what has already been suggested.
Asteroid Field, definitely. Try watching that scene in... whatever that black&white version of DJ's V3 with just ABC's soundtrack is called. So good.
