"they"? That's it. Pat man and Father are in kahoots!

  Well I don't know if Skywanker is a guy or a lady. 

im a ladyboy, not a lady/girl

**Fixed***

Now now he doesn't need to be a girl to have some kind of loving lust towards Hayden Christensen. Just like it's alright for a girl to have loving lust towards another girl.

That aside, I gave up on him when I basically paraphrased the movie and he acted all confused about the whole thing.

Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome (release date) I would have posted this earlier if not for the error messages!

watched 7 and 8.

Some good parts but both episodes felt really short - at least, to me.

Well when you consider that Episode 1's runtime is 12 min. and Episode 7 and 8's combined runtime is 15 min. It's not your imagination. The episode times are getting shorter. 7.5 minutes an episode now. Now that you mention it. That's likely why they decided to release two "episodes" at a time.

Though I wonder why they didn't just rename them 3, 4, 5 instead of 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 7 & 8. Contractual reasons are the only things I can think of right now. Though it still feels odd if that were the case as it seemed initially possible that it might've aired as a pilot for a proper series. So any contractual reasoning of say paying the actors according to "episode" appearance or whatever seems like it shouldn't matter... I don't know I'm just throwing out ideas...

october turned the leaves to copper and gold
set my world on fire, left me in the cold

if i were a master of alchemy
i'd change everything
i'd make all the broken things beautiful
especially the way we left it

if only we could go back, baby we could change it
fix a single mistake, maybe that would save it
turn the ship around, it's headed for the falls
but it's all been said and done
said and done

take a telescope and focus on the stars
a million light years and fading, that's how far you are

if i had invented a time machine
i'd change everything
i'd make all the broken things beautiful
especially the way we left it

if only we could go back, baby we could change it
fix a single mistake, maybe that would save it
turn the ship around, it's headed for the falls
but it's all been said and done
said and done

there's a time for one last hope
and there's a time for letting go

if only we could go back, baby we could change it
fix a single mistake, maybe that would save it
turn the ship around, it's headed for the falls
but it's all been said and done

i know we can't go back, baby we can't change it
every single mistake, they were all worth making
i'd do it all again for the high before the fall
when it's all said and done

Father Skywalker said:

they would've at least had plans and mention of it during episode 6. Darth Vader never told luke skywalker that "join me and together we can destroy the planets with the death star as father and son"".

The hell are you on about!?!? The Death Star from the beginning was a weapon of fear to keep the systems in line so they could just dissolve the senate. It wasn't created to destroy a list of planets. They only needed to demonstrate it's destructive power once to test it then the second time to destroy the rebel base. After that they would have all the fear they needed to keep their power and they would set out to rule the planets from that fear.

OP updated again. With the next two episodes.

Johnny Ringo said:

Just watched Part four and can't wait for the next two. No idea why they are releasing 2 at a time, they officially announced that after the first 2 eps aired but if they'd stuck with one a week it would have ended right before the bluray release..


I don't know either but it's better that there's less wait time until the entire thing is released.

Last web series/tv show seen
Time

So I managed to get caught up with the Walking Dead aside from the one that's currently airing which I'll watch in a little bit. I have to say it got better from season 2 but it's not entirely at Season 1 standards. I guess that's what happens when AMC isn't playing the drama game behind the scenes. The show actually gets better when AMC isn't pulling crap like "can't the audience just imagine the zombies?"

Last show I watched was the latest episode of Misfits. I think I'm done watching it as a weekly thing. I might watch more episodes if I get bored sometime weeks or months later. Though they've wrapped up every major storyline/character for the show in this episode/previous episodes and there's absolutely nothing urgent to drive me to want to watch further. From now on episodes of Misfits are practically special features.

I'm not writing episode VII to your relief.

Well considering how passionate you seem to be about this idea. I'd actually be interested in just how you would do a film like the one you're describing while maintaining the Star Wars feel. I actually feel it's a bit of a shame that we can't just have a theoretical peek into an alternate universe where you did make that film. Afterall we can only imagine how your passion behind this idea would translate to the screen and that is a shame.

Bingowings said:

If Leia is prompted by some recordings or writings of her mother's which present her in a new light or to make decisions which effect the new characters particularly the female ones it would be a way of extending the story from what we have rather than shooting up from somewhere else which is the sort of thing that's fun in a spin off but not in the next episode in the series.

That's interesting not sure it would entirely fit with the Star Wars feel. It's at least better than just having to contrive some reason for her to be a force ghost, or a zombie....

Bingowings said:

But I am beginning to get a feeling for why the forum sometimes gets a funny rap.

As much as we would have preferred the PT to be different it happened.

They are episodes 1 to 3.

Get over it! 

Meh I am over it. Been over it for a long time. I just don't really consider them the actual Star Wars story. I know my personal canon of Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi original theatrical versions don't mesh with the official canon. I don't care. It's just fun to make jokes with the official canon stuff.

In essence official canon Luke and Leia's Grandma got down with some bacteria to make their Father. My personal canon Luke and Leia's grandparents aren't shown so I can imagine whatever the hell I want about them.

The thread where we make enemies out of friends, aka the abortion debate thread

A couple of semantic differences:

According to CP3S and reportedly the dictionary definition (too lazy to look it up, but I believe him), murder is killing someone illegally.

According to Warbler, murder is killing someone innocent.

My personal definition would be knowingly and with malintent killing someone innocent.  It doesn't fit the dictionary defintion, but it fits my moral sensibilities.

Let's just look it up:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/murder
1.
Law . the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. In the U.S., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder), and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder).
4.
Law . to kill by an act constituting murder.
5.
to kill or slaughter inhumanly or barbarously.

World English Dictionary section:
1.
manslaughter Compare homicide the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another
— vb
5.
( also intr ) to kill (someone) unlawfully with premeditation or during the commission of a crime
6.
to kill brutally
Encyclopedia section
in criminal law, the unjustified killing of one person by another, usually distinguished from the crime of manslaughter by the element of malice aforethought. See homicide.


There. Also of interest.
3.
a group or flock of crows.


CROWS ARE MURDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I am in support of more well written characters who are female in the Star Wars films I have to say Padme isn't the way to go. At all. I'm fine if she's in the next films a little bit, like a pic on the wall or Luke or Leia going through old archive footage for a bit. Basing an entire trilogy on her though? No. It'll just contrive things into convolution. Wasting chunks of time to explain the hows and whys she either becomes a force ghost or came back from the dead. Her story is a dead end, literally, she's dead get over it.

Though I appreciate the hilarity of the potential irony that she could become a character able to get slashed up by a building sized creature on her back, survive a fall from a high flying vehicle afterwards, and become a force ghost while other lifelong force users were unable to. Yet the thing that killed her was that she just didn't give a fuck anymore and wanted to die.

"She's lost the will to live"
Padme - "Damn straight, I just don't give a fuck anymore. See you later as a blue transparent ghost thingy! Bye!"
Obi-wan - "Wait! What blue ghost thingy?????"
Yoda - "I'll tell you after she gives birth. Oh wait forgot I did that you me telling about things has to be messed up. *clears throat* Ahem, she will give birth afterwards I'll tell you."

Anyways yeah just create some new female characters without all the baggage of trying to contrive ways that she just happens to be showing up now of all times.

Now that he is old enough, would Jake Lloyd be a decent contender as Luke's son

.... Look the Skywalker family tree is screwed up enough by the whole midichlorian/Shmi pairing and the fact that Luke and Leia have the hots for each other. Do we really need to add Luke's son being his own Grandpa to the mix??? Luke and Leia's Grandfathers are a bunch of bacteria that had a one night stand with their Grandma!!!!! Stop it you! Just stop it! Enough!

Warbler said:

I was just thinking . . . remember how the Emperor told Luke that he had sent an entire legion of his best troops to deal with rebels on Endor?   How could there be any best troops, when they are all clones?

I haven't seen AOTC in a while. So unless I misremember there wasn't any talk of memory transfer with the clone. Just clones that had accelerated growth. Consequently each clone would be an individual to a point. It's like having thousands of genetically identical siblings.

But whatever I don't care much about the TPM, AOTC, and ROTS so here's a random gif!!!!

Come to think of it I haven't watched the original trilogy recently either... I'll fix that soon enough.
