Hang on... a Deathstar is just a ball right? So painting a Deathstar on your fighter is just like painting a little round circle on it... like a kid with a potato stamp. At least a plane has a recognisable shape the deathstars are just a load of balls.

Maybe that\'s it he wasn\'t painting Deathstars on his fighter it was just a pair of bollocks.

If the Empire had won do you think they\'d have painted a load of little Xwing marks on the side of the Deathstar?

correction:

Han shoots one tie fighter. Then vader and the other pilot lookupto the side tosee what it was. The other tie pilot then hits vaders tie advanced in error and he diesand vader escapes

Fast forward to Luke telling Leia he didn\'t take the money. In Empire Strikes Back I think.

Bit hazy, but he didn\'t end up taking it.

As I try to make my 4 year old sit and watch them (he\'s got the attention span of a kitty playing with a ball of string) I find myself really kicking the tires on the old fav\'s.

I wouldn\'y be \"kicking the tires\" of Star Wars so much in my old age if Lucas hadn\'t betrayed my youth with frickin\' Mitichlorian and all that crap. One day I\'m gonna punch Lucas right in his stupid beard.

Gotta admit though, there has to be SOMETHING special that makes a jedi a jedi in such an advanced age. It\'s not like thousands of people are born with these things.

Although it does annoy me , however, that they seem to be attatched to EVERY living thing. And let you manipulate inanimate objets...
Apart form Ysalamiri, or w/e they\'re called. \"Negative force bubble\"?! Wtf causes that? Anti mitichlorians?! WHAT?! And why don\'t hundreds of people universe wide have THAT?! Why just one animal... And why would they need to protect themselves from something only a few hundred have?!

My...my poor head. Damn you scott, you did this! Rationality has no place in sci fi :(

I agree about the rationality! That\'s why Star Wars was great when there WAS no rationality behind the force!

So..... that evil tree place on Dagobah where Luke chops of Vaders head and it assplodes to show HIS OWN FACE!!! Was that crazy mitichlorians? It just sucks now.

But the great thing about the universe prior (and it is still cool after Lucas did the dumb ass stuff in the prequels) was he gave JUST enough hints and details to provoke my interest in his world beyond what I got to see in IV, V, and VI. He pissed me off abotu Wedge Antilles because he showed me just enough to let me get pissed off. He showed me a universe where they hand out decorations for valor and service and he showed me a universe where those medals were handed out by some jack off who was probably doing blow and nailing that hot twi-lek chick during the battle of Yavin 4 because he was pretty damn sure they were all going to die. When he was coked to the gills he stumbled out of some service closet, shirt and hair all messy, pants slightly askew, and eyes bloodshot as all hell and said \"Hey, those guys seem to be attracting quite a crowd, I guess that dude with the wookie should get a medal.\"

Ay on the medal clause; \" I was just doing my job boys! These guys deserve a medal! Don\'t pay attention to that alien chick fixing her pants...\"

And you\'re right! The original trilogy was awesome JUST because it let you do the thinking. I didn\'t think twice about the Degobah scene then, I was just like \"Shit, that\'s messed up!\" Then the cogs started turning....

I have to say, Scott, that this is an excellent thread. I really enjoyed reading it. And I would be more than happy to hold Lucas while you punched him in the beard. Just get one in for me because¡¦as we all know¡¦Greedo shot first!

Man I wish people would get that right.

Greedo did not shoot first! In the original movies Greedo did not shoot at all. In the special edition that came out on VHS, which is what most people own and saw first, Greedo Shot first. In the original theatrical releases Greedo didn\'t shoot at all.

And that\'s when I fell in love with Han Solo. I thought, \"Here\'s a dude who ain\'t takin\' no shit. Here\'s a dude who won\'t get pushed around.\" Then I go check it out in the theater as a grown up and WTF? Here\'s a dude who\'ll take a risk that someone is going to miss a shot from about 34\" inches away?!?!? Wow, what a pussy!

And what\'s the deal with that! Them big-ass eyes Greedo had shoulda accounted for something. Like maybe being able to see Han Solo from 34 inches away. Greedo\'s guidance counselor really shit the bed when they dialed up Bounty Hunter as a prospective career path. Wow did he ever suck. Cool language though. \"Som pee-ta-lay, M--her F---er!\"

In the history of Sci-Fi, can anyone name any alien that was greenskinned that could do anything with a level of competence?

Star Wars was the great singing sword of my imagination when I was a kid. I loved it so much. I was also pretty sure that since Star Wars was long, long ago that any day now the great grandson of Han Solo was going to come pick me up in the Millenium Falcon mk.18 and we go off killing dumb ass greenskinned bounty hunters.

Why the deception Mr. Lucas? Why not avoid all those tears you cause and just start your movies off with

\"Totally, totally fake,
This will get much, much worse as I mess with it.\"


Sigh x 1000.
