Can't view that one either... :D

But then what were they doing in the non-old republic? :DD

But... Sidious had already given him that name :P

Y-Pot?

It was obviously a hyperbole, but why, it's true - if you're posting something serious and people start pointing fingers and laughing, you'll put them into place rather than whining about how you're treated.

What do religious people do when they don't like someone ridiculing them? "Show respect".
What do scientists do? Show you a bunch of facts, how verified their data is, and how familiar technology wouldn't exist without it.

The reactions are just different ;)

While we're at it, OWN DONT RECOGNIZE CRPS!!!!

I've read and written a lot of posts with these same ideas and suggestions myself ;)

Just let the attacking stop enough already.

LOL

A piece of advice - it generally comes off as pathetic and laughable if you ask people to stop making fun of you and take you seriously. ESPECIALLY with gramer like that.

Those deserving of respect, don't demand it.
Those ridiculed undeservedly, smash their haters with a wall of logic, hidden sarcasm and witty repartée.

The others just whine.

OH SNAP

Oh... and... SOLO HAD NO LIGHTSPEED BUT MADE IT TO BESPIN!! PLOTHOLE!!!!

This has been discussed ad nauseum, but I'll explain the "No it's fine" side:

Bespin is not too far away from Hoth. Not in the same planetary system, but nearby. We do not know how long it takes them to get to Bespin. In fact, all we know for sure is that while they're en route:

• Luke trains with Yoda
• Boba Fett follows them without being noticed
• Vader waits for his bounty hunters to report back

Vader waiting has no real time problems. The man can wait with the starfleet doing Imperial things for as long as he needs. He's not likely to find the Falcon during this gap, as the Falcon is flying in the big empty spaces between star systems and that's just not very easy to search. Besides, he's counting on the bounty hunters to turn something up whenever the Falcon reemerges at spaceport from wherever they disappeared to (remember, Vader doesn't actually know where they went).

The longer Luke trains with Yoda, the more plausible ROTJ becomes, as he can learn loads and loads from Yoda, but only really get the practice and meditation he needs to be a Jedi in between ESB & ROTJ (thus explaining why he's not so much a Jedi during the ESB duel). This is, for me, the biggest thing in favor of the Hoth->Bespin journey being long.

As for the Falcon and Slave 1 flying for so long... They don't have hyperdrive, only their engines. Spaceship engines are never really well explained in Star Wars (because it's a space opera, thank god), so we don't actually know much about how much they can accelerate a ship, for how long, fueling, etc. However, if we assume that they just put the engines on FULL-GO-FAST for the whole trip, then perhaps we can say that they spend the whole trip accelerating up to as near lightspeed as they can go. Relativistic effects become noticeable, and the occupants of both the Falcon and Slave 1 experience a far shorter journey than Luke does while training. In this way, we solve their food problems.

No, I don't know how Fett manages to not be detected. Perhaps he follows (somehow stealthily) for a short period, long enough to get their heading and extrapolate where they're going, then turns off the engines andlets them fly away a little longer so they won't notice him when hyperdrives back to civilization to bounty hunter things. Later, knowing approximately when they'd arrive at Bespin, he informs Vader and they all hyperdrive to Bespin just before the Falcon arrives.

And yes, I'm introducing relativistic effects in a movie series where spaceships move like WWII fighter planes.

tldr; I brought it up as a joke, in the "presenting long chewed pet peeves as a novelty" sense.

And, Obi-wan says the jedi have been around for a thousand generations but everyone in the prequels say a thousand years!

And, Obi-wan says that Anakin was a pretty cool dude in the original trilogy but he turns out to be a total asshole in the prequels!

1) RLM ripoff :D
It just crossed my mind, though, the REPUBLIC has been around for 1000 years... the Jedi for 1000 generations :D
But I'm sure that's more of a double slop than a consistency.

2) He wasn't that much of an asshole except in the crisis parts. The two seemed to have a pretty good relationship "normally", and Anakin was a bit sarcastic at worst.
Now, Hercules, that was an asshole.


Oh... and... SOLO HAD NO LIGHTSPEED BUT MADE IT TO BESPIN!! PLOTHOLE!!!!

I can't see the youtube video in my country. I'm sure it's for the better ;)

Oh, and Luke's hair in ROTJ looks different from the previous movies... and I don't like things that are different.

Or maybe she got hypnotized by a space shrink so she relived her birth! Ol' Owen couldn't afford that...

Or... or... Leia says she remembers her mother, but then we find out she dies at birth!!

Rebecca Linares is a goddess..... you never cease to surprise me with a hint of awesomeness 2/4.

Well, anyone can post a picture you know :)

I didn't think you were wearing a mask, I just thought that was your face. :p

Well it's a skeleton ;)

There you go, now that wasn't that bad now was it :DD


PS: My avatar is a plastic skeleton dressed in my coat, in case it's too small to distinguish.
Unless you... ah.

It's the hot gas... it pushed.. oh wait that's a laser.

one was a salted vampire...

^ That part was so stupid. The duel had been pretty good (not great) until this point.

Happened to have a dance-y song on as I saw this. Trippy.

 It's up there with this other classic.

Or like that other scene with the Space Bazooka, where the stuntman makes a jump after the shot, rather than being propelled by the shot itself.... oh wait, that was another mov-

It was a lightsaber smash?

...

neh :)

... where the vampires peass?

Damn. I'd just come here to post Stoya.

Well, you can always poast moar Stoya ;);)
