And people say Star Wars is sexist because Padme and Shmi died of tragic deaths.

If they want tragic deaths, they need to watch more Asian cinema. Chinese films LOVE to kill the strong male protagonist. Korean manwha as well
I was gathering that the sexism argument was a "women in refrigerators" statement in which the death of a female character on serves a purpose to further the development of the hero. The Asian cinema point doesn't really relate to what GvZ was saying.

Jar Jar isn't any more of a stereotype of Jamaicans, than CP3O is a stereotype of English butlers. And don't let me get started on the various midget races in that universe.

White is the absence of all color.
Black is all color.
And neither are technically considered colors.

Take out your paint set (if you have one). Mix all three primary colors. You'll get black.
It's cute when you think you know things.

Red, blue, and yellow are only primary colors in additive color mixing. Red, blue, and green are the primary colors in subtractive color mixing.

Objects appear white when they contain no pigments. This makes the object appear to "not have any color" because it reflects light throught the spectrum. The actual light (white light) that enters your eyes contains wavelengths of all colors. You can't actually "see" black, as no such thing as black light exists ("black lights" are, in fact, not black). This is because black is the absence of any light at all (and thus the absence of any light of colored wavelengths). The fine art definitions of color are narrow and only used in that field. Physical definitions of colors, wavelengths, and spectrums is the basal definition set.

I'm still wondering what Clone Wars is up to for their 100th episode next season.
I used to be a lot more optimistic and outgoing, believe it or not. I used to actually be passionate about this stuff.

Probably nothing much since episode 110 will be the series finale, at least thats what I'm assuming since it was a 5 year plan of "at least 100 episodes" and 22X5=110. I was just kind of hoping the series would end with a movie similiar to how it started. But I guess not. It would have been nice to get an amalgamation retelling of the last couple of episodes of the previous CW series and the EU novel "Labrynth of Evil" to iron out the inconsistancies leading up to Episode III.

Clones Wars is confirmed for a season 6 and a possible season 7.

I wish that they would show around episode III in the last season then maybe they could feature Ahsoka in episode III and order 66 without her being in RotS the movie.

with all due respect for Star Wars, and the desire to see a long-lived TV seies of anykind, it seems like a hollow victory. Lucas has enough money to privaetly fund this show for 10 more years if he wanted to. Ratings have been terrible since the lackluster beginning of season 3, and only occasional spikes when you throw in Chewbacca or Darth Maul. I want a show to succeed on its own merit, not because its creator has a bazillion dollars. It appears every other show I like is doomed to end in 2 seasons or less. Transformers:Prime might be the exception.

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.
Apparently SWTOR said that I can invite 25 people for a 7 day trial of the game. PM me if interested.
