Many Bothans Died To Bring You THE STAR WARS THREAD

[The Rich Port]

COME GET YOU SOME

I think Star Wars is the best sci-fi/fantasy universe compared to other similar sci-fi/fantasy universes (Stargate, Babylon 5, Star Trek, Firefly, etc.) It combines the massive scope and depth of Star Trek with the grittiness and realistic lack of polish of Firefly.

I've watched all of the movies and played quite a few of the video games, and that's about the extent of my knowledge on the series. I do read the Wookiepedia quite a lot, so I've picked up some knowledge on the Extended Universe, and I used to play the Star Wars RPG until I lost all of my books during Hurricane Georges. Never read the comics. I cosplayed once when I was a kid as Luke Skywalker along with quite a few of my classmates on vacation in Florida to MGM Studios... I think it was the time they opened the Padawan thing outside of Star Tours, and many times as Han Fucking Solo, on Halloween, on Gay Days at Disney. I still have a Wookie suit in my closet so that my sister, who's sort of taller than me, can wear it.

... And I have a bootleg copy of the Holiday Special...

How many OTHER Star Wars fans are there in this bitch? What's your favourite movie? Favourite era? Favourite medium?

Edit: Edited for maximum schwartz.

Edit: Edited for maximum Aayla Secura's skeleton. SHE HAS AN AMAZING SHADE OF BLUE TO HER SKIN. Seriously. Sucks George Lucas wasted her on getting killed in the stupid 3rd prequel. She's super cool.

You have a copy of the holiday special?!

Not sure whether to be jealous or disgusted...

Think all of the immoral awfulness of owning ivory trinkets with none of the implication of wealth or glamour.

I'm meh

I am solidly meh on the TV shows.

... I have my doubts about Star Wars 7, though I guess I should wait, considering I just learned they're making it.

[Zatak]

I'm not excited much for eather of them both seem well again meh


Also I'm not a big fan of the old republic but I love kotor

Does anybody like Star Wars: The Old Republic?

I would, but I don't have it.

Also, btw the Holiday Special could have been much better than it was had George Lucas actually participated in it's production. But he was off making Empire, so everyone comes away happy.

Does anybody like Star Wars: The Old Republic?

I am incapable of playing it.

KOTOR and KOTOR 2 were the hypest shit ever.

How bad/good is the Clone Wars TV show?

I've been thinking about catching up... All I ever watched was the hand-animated version, and that was pretty meh, as awesome as the animation was.

I'm suprised as he suffered physical problems during a new hope I was expecting him to sit back but no

Another thing that makes it my favourite: slightly older fanbase. My fucking parents are technically Star Wars fans and they have light-sabers stuck in their butts. It's great. It's something the whole family can enjoy...

Sure, George Lucas is trying to make it strictly for kids, but... He doesn't know any better.

[Zatak]

And also I find and do your fanrages and boos now that Disney may be good for starwars

I feel like even the series isn't just for kids. It has enough plot and the occasional movies reference to entertain adults, not to mention it is pretty violent. The Ewoks cartoons are George Lucas' attempts to make it just for kids.

Um... Might wanna rewrite that. I can't really understand what you're saying, so I'll assume you're saying fanrages are good for the company now that Disney took over. I'm not particularly angry with the Disney acquisition, I dislike that George Lucas doesn't understand the difference between "Family" and "Kids" entertainment. Ever since Disney fucked up The Lone Ranger... I dunno. At least now Star Wars is preserved forever, I guess. Maybe they'll even bring back Star Wars Galaxies?

Yup. I haven't looked it up - what is Star Wars 7 going to be about? Is it the Thrawn trilogy? It should be the Thrawn trilogy.

Sure... Maybe. But what would Disney do for the series, exactly, except back/sponsor George Lucas?

7 is a brand new plot with brand new protagonists.

7 is a brand new plot with brand new protagonists.

... Really?

... Why?

I mean, yeah, the novels that are with Luke's kids are kind of sucky, but still, it's WRITTEN already.

Well all star wars movies are new adventures. Maybe George Lucas never wanted to base a movie off something that already existed.

I assume it'll de-canonize a bunch of stuff in favor of it's own line of canon. There are reports that Chewbacca will probably be in it despite the fact the EU made him die 10 years before 7 takes place (it's 30 years after ROTJ)

Eh... Maybe it's for the best.

I just hope there's less Jedi.

I like that their introducing new characters, I just hope they don't totally relegate the older characters to the sideline.

Maybe they'll handle it like Obi-Wan?

He was only in the first half of the movie and everyone remembers him.
