Well, give me something taller to suggest then. Though the ESB looks a lot like the buildings of Coruscant, which has a lot of neo 1920's Architecture.

David A: Fett is a man of few words, he'd say something snappy or sinister and then waste him.

Funny fact, Boba Fett was spawned from the EU, he first appeared in one of Threepeo and Artoo's pre- Episode IV adventures followed by the Holiday Special in an animated short.

"Hello.  My name is Boba Fett.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die."

Like I'd have a problem with that?

[Reply #442 on:]

I do, Fett only speak a sentence or two a movie.

[Reply #443 on:]

Actually, Morrison would be doing the voice now, so it'd be more like:

'Ullo, mate.  Me name's Boba Fett.  Yew killed me fathah.  Prepare to doi.

Question - was there a single non-digital clone trooper?

I know I wouldn't.  In fact, the only reason I'd be interested in reading about Mace Windu's adventures would be to see him meet his end at the hands of the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy.

This is an absolutly hilarious spoof on Starwars. I thought I would post it here instead of the link thread. Just watch it. It`s hilarious.

Seen it.  Still damn hilarious, though, especially Mace.

[Reply #448 on:]

That and those Burger King GIFs are my favourite Episode III mocks.

[Reply #449 on:]

Oh, I just remembered!  I watched the scene again, and it's pronounced "Kasheek," not "Kashick."  Maybe you should spend less time battle meditating, Bastila, and more time learning how to pronounce planets correctly.

[Reply #450 on:]

Thats hilarious Bender_Waffles

[Reply #451 on:]

As I mentioned earlier, I've started reading the X-Wing series again (don't ask why, I really don't know) and my faith in Lucas's sanity has been slightly restored; the history of the Emperor's rise to power in Wedge's Gamble (worst title ever) almost matches what happened in the prequel trilogy, but with a slightly altered sequence.  I don't feel like typing it up, but it's X-Wing: Wedge's Gamble, page 137, last paragraph.

Oh, and Nix: it's called an accent.  Like how New Jerseyans - sorry, Joisians - can't even pronounce the name of their own state.  Bastila, or at least her parents, are from somewhere in the Core (I assume) so they all have pseudo-British accents.

[Reply #452 on:]

So, what is everyone's favourite race?

Chiss. Admiral Thrawn was fucking awesome.

[Reply #453 on:]

Did anyone notice a Millenium Falcon like craft (or was it the MF herself...hmm) , center right bottom, pulling into the Senate building on the wide establishing shot after the big crash landing with Anakin piloting the 'halved' cruiser. Just before Palatine arrives with his posse of assorted races to meet the Jedi after his rescue, or something like that.

Ithorians. Big freacky slug faces.

Yeah ok Mr. Manhattan Accent.

NOBODY in Jersey says "Joisey."

[Reply #456 on:]

Anyone notice the official site and the movie spell the planet Kashyyyk and says "casheek", but the EU spells it Kashyyk and says "cashick"? I think there is something very deliberate in all of that.

[Reply #457 on:]

Well, obviously the planet was cloned along the way.. in the past... or something.

[Reply #458 on:]

Seriously, I think they might have left it up to the viewer to decide if they are one in the same, due to inconsistancies between them.

[Reply #459 on:]

Um.. no. They're the same. It's just a spelling mishap.

I think I remember seeing a circular ship landing, but not sure if it was the MF. I should've went to see the movie a second time yesterday...

[Reply #461 on:]

I finally saw episode 3 yesterday, and it was awesome! Much better than the last 2! It might just be my favourite of all of them. 9.5/10

FAVE CHARACTER: R2-D2!   

[Reply #462 on:]

Damn, reading about the Jedi-Sith History is facinating, though the whole Amulet thing with Exar Kunn and Ulric sounded like something from an anime.

I can hear Kreia drone on about it in my head.

[Reply #463 on:]

 

From Millennium Falcon at Wikipedia:

In Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the Falcon had a brief onscreen cameo appearance, but as a brand new, freshly-built state-of-the-art spacecraft. It can be seen in the lower right hand corner of the screen docking at the spaceport as Obi-Wan and Anakin are returning Palpatine to the Senate building on Coruscant.

Maddox reviews Episode III

[Reply #465 on:]

He makes some quite valid points.

[Reply #466 on:]

Have you guys seen MTV Movie Awards 2005 where Jimmy Fallon plays Anikin done a Star Wars Lava spoof with Padme? I thought it was very funny

Fallon is sunbathing on the lava planet from Star Wars as Anakin. He says they got a kick ass deal on the place floating in lava. He asks if she wants a hot beer, and an R2 unit shoots one at him, and he drops it, and say “I just dropped it like it’s hot.” Okay, this is hard to keep track of, but it’s really funny! It’s real scenes with Padme, and Fallon inserting himself in. He goes in for a kiss, and she says “Don’t do this.” and he says “What, no kiss, what am I, chop lava?” he points to the crowd and says “Thank you.” He’s describing how they’ll make a baby crib and points over there. And is choking her, and says he forgot to turn off the Force.

Obi-Wan says to let her go, and he says “Why are you wearing my bathrobe, and you got barbeque sauce on it.” Cut to Obi-Wan saying “You did that yourself.” Fallon says, “You know I never eat BBQ.” And Obi-Wan says “Only a Sith talks in absolutes.” Fallon says, “A sith?” Cuts back to Obi-Wan in repeat footage saying “A Sith.” Fallon “A mumblesith” Obi-Wan “A Sith.” Fallon - “What a terrible lisp you have there. You should do something about it.” Obi-Wan says “I’ll do what I have to do” and pulls out his light saber. Fallon says, “I must warn you, I’m really good at backflips.” Fallon then backflips up and right over Obi-Wan into a pit of lava. He says “Well, I seem to have over shot my mark there. And now I’m on fire.” He then melts, and this scene was just hilarious. I missed most of the jokes because they were just joke after joke, but it was great.

Anything involving Jimmy Fallon sucks.

Interesting fact about Vin Diesel (and Star Wars): Star Wars was based on Vin's real life experience in another galaxy. Interestingly there were no Ewoks, droids, starships, jedi, or aliens, but there were lightsabers. Good god were there lightsabers...

Meh - well, yes the points are valid but then again he doesn't like any of the Star Wars so it's not very surprising he's going to pick apart the latest one and bitch about it.

The opinion I care more about is those that actually liked Star Wars, and still found this film disappointing. Or better still, someone who didn't really have any bias at all as he or she walked through the door.

[Reply #473 on:]

You can pick anything apart. No exception. If an opinion can be had, you can disagree. And you can always find points to differ on. One might say, for instance, that they find The Mars Volta's new album tedious and long-winded. If their taste is towards short songs, then you can't say they're wrong, but you can disagree. And on this subject, with Maddox I disagree.

[Reply #474 on:]

Maddox hates everything though, so it is kind of biased...

[Reply #475 on:]

For some reason I thought it would be his kind of movie, but for some reason he lists the grutiutous violence as a downside. I guess he's going soft.

[Reply #476 on:]

Yeah, I really didn't see him tanking a movie that involves such gratuitous violence toward innocents.  Either a) he hates everything (true) or b) he considers plot holes and logical gaps in a film a personal insult (also true.)

Ah well, he's not wrong.  Just bitchy.

[Reply #477 on:]

There's generally two kinds of Maddox articles; serious (ie not funny) and retarded (read: hilarious). This one sort of ranks somewhere in the middle.

[Reply #478 on:]

I find is hilarious that some people STILL didn't get that Darth Sidious was the Emperor.

[Reply #479 on:]

Bump!
Man, looking for the NJO series in the public Libraries of the UK is hard, I need the 3rd book!

I've grown to love the NJO, It brought a breath of fresh air to the EU. No more Super Weapons or rogue Imperial Warlords. I like the idea of the Imperial Remnant having teritory and being led by a man who was Thrawn's 2nd in command.

Show spoiler

Even the Death of Chewbacca, sad but refreshing show us that even the hero's have to move on in life...

NJO is one of the best EU Books out there, if you have read most of the EU or the good books with Thrawn, Dalaa and the Reborn Emperor then read it now.

I'm looking forward to the next series of these books by the same author coming out next year.
