The Star Wars Thread

So call me crazy, or call it 2 in the morning, but I thought it would be a great idea to start a thread all about Star Wars. Star Wars is just that awesome. So if anyone’s got some great Star Wars stuff, now there is finally a place for it.

(i put this in absolute randomness too but it’s too related to not go here)

also some good videos to watch:
The Best Homemade Lightsaber Duel
Obi-Wan Kenobi Buys A Used Car
Star Wars Ep.III: The Lost Hope

Leia knew that Luke was her brother all along…
Star Wars IV: A New Hope for Incest
Star Wars V: The Incest Strikes Back
Star Wars VI: Return of the Incest

and so on…

Leia- “I don’t mind being Jabba’s prisoner, but that sand chafes!”

Speaking of which, is anyone else stoked about the DVD release of the origenal, unaltered trilogy? I know I am!

Totally. Simply magical. I loved those movies and have watched them dozens of times. I often refer to personalities in terms of the characters - you know, “if I gain any more weight, I will begin lookin like Jabba the Hut.” :smiley:

every girl i’ve ever talked to has at some point said they’re fat. what is it with you people? :smiley:

to answer the question asked, however, you know i’m pumped about it. is it really the unaltered version, with all the goofy special effects and everything? if so i’m even more excited.

You are right, dammit. Give me a pie.

I thought the only stuff available was the adulterated stuff.

Are you saying the DVDs out now are as they were in the before time?

Hells yeah I’m picking those up. My car doesn’t have liscence plates, but some things are worth being on the wrong side of the law for!

Well… I am the one and only Jedi Shogun. Love Star Wars… I really am a Jedi… and with that… take a read at this:

When you pass out while trying to move a pencil across the desk with the Force.

When you get jealous of luke because his light saber is double the size of yours

You found this page with intentions of locating the Star Wars “greek” club.

You would love to have Frank Oz stick his hand up your ass so you can be as wise as Yoda

When you get into a fight, you automaticly find yourself reaching for a lightsaber…

If you get your head stuck in a bucket pretending your Darth Vader.

When you spend time watching the Star Wars trilogy because you think there will be a test on it later.

You punch out trekkies who say “Death star my ass, I’d like to see those losers take out DS9”.

With a blue-tinted plastic tube, a flashlight, two hours of a saturday night, and 4 rolls of blue electrical tape, you finally complete your own working “Light-saber”

Your room is filthy except for your “Star Wars Area.”

You put on a luminous coloured condom and walk around humming, pretending you’re a light-saber

You name your right hand ‘Leia’

You waste three hours and 8,000 brain cells a day coming up with jokes for this page.

You think you are the life of the party because you imitate Yoda’s voice and have him say things a Jedi master wouldn’t say.

Whenever you get in trouble, you mutter “I have a bad feeling about this.”

When you listen for Obi-Wan while attempting to parralell park.

When your father asks you how fast your car is, you reply,“Fast enough for you, old man.”

When you need to go to the toilet, you say “Intensify Foward firepower, I don’t want anything to get through”

You ram a model X-Wing up someone else’s asshole and congratulate yourself for finding the only weak spot.

Your girlfriend is called “Jabba the Slut.”

You don’t have any money to buy food or clothes but you have a kick-ass STAR WARS collection.

You swear you saw Obi-Wan in your Cheerios.

You get caught doing your Darth Vader impression in the bathroom. (what are you doing in there son? heavy breathingYOUR POWERS ARE WEAK OLD MAN!!!)

When you wake up screaming, “Luke it’s a trap!”

You know you’re a Star Wars geek when you unsuccessfully get the last cheerio in the bowl and instinctively mutter, “The Force is strong in this one.”

You start to see visions of Ben Kenobi telling you to go to bed.

When you spend eight hours at the library printing this crap out over and over…

When your girlfriend says you have a small dick and you say “You underestimate the power of the force.”

You Find yourself Getting Beaten up for saying everyone’s lines 2 seconds before they do in the theatre.

When… Your first sentence was “I have a bad feeling about this.”

When you find yourself quoting the opening lines of “A New Hope”…and don’t stop until 125 minutes later.

You curse out people that go,"Yeah! I know who Obi-Wan Kenobi is! Isn’t he that guy with the funky ears that goes,“Live Long and Prosper?”

You punch out people that say,“But I thought Han Solo flew the Enterprise?”

You can’t resist to hum when you turn on a flashlight

Before sex, you look at your penis and say “Get in there, you furry oaf, I don’t care what you smell!”

You’re a Star Wars geek when your teacher hands you your test back and says “commas are your weakness.” You shoot back: “And your faith in your friends is yours!”

When someone talks about people getting abducted by little green men you say, “Yoda would never do such a thing!”

  1. you actually feel the need to attack Star Wars geeks with a camera to prove that you are not of their kind.

After looking at your tiny dick you remember yoda’s saying “size matters not.”

When, you’re drunker than you’ve ever been in your life and still know that the possibilitiy of successfully navigating an asteroid field is 3,720 to one.

You buy 2 copies of the trilogy just so you could have the full Darth Vader Helmet.

You’ve wached the trilogy more times than mark hammil.

When you heard of Titanic getting more money than Star Wars, you immediately reached for your home-made lightsaber and started a hunt for James Cameron.

You respond to your friends taunting of “HA! HA! Titanic beat Star Wars!” by clenching your teeth and grunting “We’ll get 'em in the prequels”

You sabotage the Titanic theatre to play Star Wars: A New Hope when the ship starts to sink.

You call in bomb threats every time Titanic starts playing and then start giggling uncontrollably when you watch the people running out.

You finnally figure out that ANH rearanged is Han

You point out to people that given inflation Star Wars kicked Titanic’s Ass by nearly 300 million.

When your boss forwards all of your checks to the local Star Wars supplier.

The first thing you think of when you hear the words “hot, wet and horny” is a sweating bantha.

During sex, you’re still rearanging the figures on your shelf.

You stand up a date to put jokes on this page.

You go to star wars conventions with the sole purpose of getting laid.

When your stuck doing fuckin ‘yoga’ classes because of a misprint on the advertisement

Before sex you say, “This may smell bad, kid, but it will keep you warm”.

You know you’re a Star Wars geek when…you spend hours thinking up the new catchphrase "the prequels are gonna sink Titanic!

A friend gets a kick ass home audio/video center and you tell him, “Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed.”

21 Reasons Why Star Wars Is Better Than Titanic"

  1. The Titanic is big, but it doesn’t have hyperdrive.

  2. Yoda could use the Force to lift Titanic out of the water.

  3. Leia is a princess, a senator, a freedom fighter, and Jedi material; Rose is just marriage bait.

  4. Ewoks throw better parties than either first class or steerage.

  5. When flying towards the Titanic, Wedge can’t say, “Look at the size of that thing!” and really mean it.

  6. It would be much scarier to get chased around the boat by a raving madman with a lightsaber as opposed to a handgun.

  7. Titanic is egalitarian by portraying poor people as sympathetic characters. Star Wars is egalitarian by promoting bug-eyed amphibians to Admiral.

  8. Said bug-eyed amphibious Admiral manages NOT to lose his ship.

  9. We know Cal is the bad guy because he sneers at the poor and treats his fiancee like property. We know Darth Vader is the bad guy because he strangles people and blows up planets for fun.

  10. Yeah, Leo can dance, but can he fly an X-wing?

  11. Rose braves icy water to rescue her man. Leia braves Jabba the Hutt.

  12. There are always enough escape pods in Star Wars.

  13. Do you know what the Empire does to self-proclaimed “kings of the world?”

  14. If Luke were handcuffed to a pipe below decks in a sinking ship, he would use the Force to get the key.

  15. Nothing has the same sting as “I’d rather kiss a Wookie.”

  16. Han is frozen in carbonite and turned into a wall ornament. Leo simply freezes.

  17. Han Solo would’ve steered clear of that stinkin’ iceberg!

  18. We knew the boat was gonna sink. But who could’ve anticipated, “Luke…I am your father.”?

  19. Stormtroopers blast big holes in stupid minor characters; everyone in Titanic was a stupid minor character.

  20. When Star Wars was proclaimed coolest movie of all time by half of planet earth, George Lucas did not make a dork of himself at the Oscars.

  21. Titanic morals: a. gamble, b. cheat on your husband, c. pose nude for pictures, d. premarital sex is OK if you’re infatuated.

Star Wars morals: a. fight evil, b. do good, c. respect all life even if it’s ugly and slithers, d. rescue princess, e. save planet.

When Star Wars was rereleased on the big screen in the late 90’s there were little snippets of added scenes and improved special effects. Some of these touch ups are good such as the enhanced Death Star explosions and a better end song to the trilogy. Some of these changes such as Greedo shooting first and some of the added cg in Jabba’s palace just doesn’t age as well as the top of the line puppeteering. In addition to the Special Edition alterations the other Star Wars DVD set included a super-imposed Hayden Christianson over Sabastian Shaw as the unmasked Darth Vader. Also all of Boba Fett’s lines are dubbed over by Temuera Morrison, the actor who played Jango Fett.

And by the way Imp, what is up with that massive white space post? Why is this thread so wide?

I can hardly contain myself… O:)

-Thirst

haha. Such a bitch you are. LOL

What ever do you mean, Bessy dear? O:)

You can count me out- the “unaltered” release will be a total screwjob. First off,
the discs will be non-anamorphic. WTF? It’s 2000 and freakin’ 6! :imp: No one
releases discs that aren’t anamorphic.

Next, they won’t be using the splendid, painstakingly
remastered print used in the '04 realease- it’s a crappy old
print they used for the LaserDisc or VHS version! Which sucks since they went to
enormous lengths to clean up the films for re-release.

One final kick in the balls-
THEY’RE ONLY IN 2CH STEREO!! :imp: :imp: Yeah, so were they in the theater,
but why the fuck would you NOT include the wonderful Dolby Digital track assembled
for the '04 release? It could still default to PL if you just gotta be “old school.”
After all, probably 85% of all the DVDs in the world have at least 2 soundtracks.

The only explanation I can come up with is that Lucas just hates his fans. [-X

oh, come on, who doesn’t love movies that “used to be” great back in their time? (even if they are still now to a few people here and there)

the least they can do is put out a DVD collection with ALL SIX movies, better yet the bonus material should include Star Wars: Ewoks, The Ewok Adventure, and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, and it should definitly have Star Wars: Clone Wars!!!

The DVD’s with Episodes IV ~ VI should have the option of watching the original releases in any way you want. So if you want to see the movie without the CG effects, but want to hear the surround sound… so be it. Technology should be able nowadays to provide this.

Are you crazy Smooth? Why would they do that? They will continue to release a new version of the film every other year and make money off you suckers, err consumers.
