The Official Star Wars Saga Thread

[o.supreme]

Just to clarify when you say "They" do you mean have the Hapan Consortium appear in the Clone Wars animated series, or have some of the EU Novel authors make the Hapans a focal point of a future novel? Oh and Lucas has let the show runners use a few ideas form the EU novels that he didn't create himself.

Ratings have been pretty decent for a show on a cable network, especially an animated cartoon that airs on Friday nights.

Anyways, I do encourage people to give the show a shot. Despite and iffy first season, I easily think it's one of the better Star Wars properties in recent years.

When The Phantom Menace got re released in 3d Adult did a marathon of a story arc it had to do with witches or something like that seemed pretty interesting. Introduced Maul's brother too. I think those are the first full episodes I have seen though.

That's one of the better Clone Wars arcs. You can actually find most of the episodes on youtube. I'm a big fan of the Umbara storyline.

The only problem I would have with ep 7=9 their are too many good arcs to do in just three movies, Jedi Academy trilogy, thrawn trilogy, Cadeus era and the more recent Fate of the Jedi and of course the Vong War.

This is probably old news for anyone who cllects Star Wars Toys. I just admire them from afar since there are just way too many.. However This is proably the closest I've been to purchasing a Star wars toy in almost 15 years!

I know there have been a handfull of EU toys over the years, but this gets me really excited. I cant wait to see whats to come in the future!

At one time I had the entire "Shadows of The Empire" assortment, along with Micro Machine sets for Heir to the Empire,Truce at Bakura, & Jedi Academy. Sadly I sold them on eBay long ago.

Wataru-do you happen to know of a comprehensive website for viewing SW action figures? I've heard of a few of the ones you mentioned, but not all of them.

Anybody saw the 2 part fan edit called The War of the Stars? I can't describe how well made it is.

Part 1 is an edited version of A New Hope that effectively turns the film into a grindhouse era scholckfest, complete with ridiculous plot twists, gore and missing reels. They even used a beaten 16mm print to give it that look, as opposed to those annoying digital scratches that Tarantino and Rodriguez used for their Grindhouse.

Part 2 combines the last films and ditches the grindhouse feel in favor of more twists. In case you wanted to know what turn the franchise might have taken if Vader wasn't Luke's father, this is an interesting alternative. The music changes also make for a more gothic atmosphere.

Highly recommended.

Sadly no most websites just stop updating.

Rebelscum.com is the most comprehensive Star Wars action figure site on the web.

I wasn't sure if that was real at first.

ita very active, but beware, there are some real idiots over there.

Anyone here ever seen (or heard of) The Backstroke of the West? I think I just about died laughing when I came across it on YouTube a few weeks ago.

[Space Hunter M]

Yeah, I watched the dubbed version a few months back. Had me in stitches. That's actually the only time I've seen the third episode since it's forgettable theatrical run in 2005. "Mr. Speaker!"

And where could I find this? Sounds intriguing.

Just about done with the Thrawn trilogy. It's nice to see Thrawn isn't so lulz evil with his subordinates as Vader was.

I just can't get over how "Jedi Council" is translated as "Presbyterian Church." It still makes me laugh.

I love this series. Star Wars (episode IV for noobs) is probably my favorite movie.

As for the six people who voted Phantom Menace as their favorite: may God have mercy on your souls.

[Mincecraft]

I can't decide in the vote so heres my thoughts.

The Phantom Menace: Liked it when little, but not that much now. Only watch it for the action scenes.

Attack of the Clones: Better than Phantom, mainly for the action but overall good.

Revenge of the Sith: Best prequel, great, dark overall. Probably my fave.

A New Hope: A classic, what can I say?

The Empire Strikes Back: Good, not my fave but good.

Return of the Jedi: Great action, second best original.

Wouldn't episode IV be more accurate for hardcore fans? And what's wrong with the six people liking episode I the best?

[Kiryu2012]

I'm that big of a fan of Star Wars, but I do enjoy the Clone Wars T.V series. I like how it takes place between the film saga, but that's just me.

[miguelnuva]

I'd like to thank Kiryu2012 for the bump, now on to business.

Star Wars detours was announced today.

I for one liked the Robot Chicken specials so I hope this will live up to those.

We're at a point where it's like putting Hitler and Jesus Christ in dresses. It's funny not becasue it's clever or witty; it's becasue they are well known characters outside their domain. Every joke seen is based around this one gag.
