Re: Star Wars
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.

Re: Star Wars
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.Bret wrote: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.Gorosaurus Rex wrote: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.

Re: Star Wars
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.

Re: Star Wars
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!

Re: Star Wars
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.

Re: Star Wars
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.

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.

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!"

Re: Star Wars
Just about done with the Thrawn trilogy. It's nice to see Thrawn isn't so lulz evil with his subordinates as Vader was.
Apparently SWTOR said that I can invite 25 people for a 7 day trial of the game. PM me if interested.

Re: Star Wars
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.

Re: Star Wars
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.

Re: Star Wars
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.
My most wanted fight ever is Discord vs Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.
Godzilla has a regen like Wolverine, a skin like Luke Cage, a hero aura like Captain America, a strength like Hulk, an unstoppability like Juggernaut, an immortality like Deadpool.
There's a 'God' in Godzilla for a reason...

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.
