Only Into The Trap+Battle of Endor, I may have to compress it...

[Reply #522 on:]

Wait, Battle of Endor 1 is Into The Trap?!?

I have that!
Nurdy why didn't you say something?

[Reply #523 on:]

Well, The MP3 is 11 minutes long. I suspect it has like several scenes of ROTJ music along with Into The Trap.

Also, someone please god say something about the screenies I post! I'm that desperate!

[Reply #524 on:]

Urgent (sorta)!
Are the animated Clone Wars episodes still available for legal download somewhere?

Yeah, legal, of course... Also, I am interested in the ones with comments as well. I have the normal episodes, but a few friends keep asking me...

So, um, who's that Twi'lek chick?  Is she your character's girlfriend, or what?

[Reply #526 on:]

Just a friend who was invited along with the guild. We picked her up from the Aartan Ridge 1 year party.

[Reply #527 on:]

@Pikka: Couldn't paying members on the Official Star Wars site download those? It's not free, but it's legal.

[Reply #528 on:]

Did you know you could have Pets in Star Wars Galaxies? As well as Droid's? Some of these pets can be mounted and ridden (Dewback for instance).

Also, I've started to see the new Flash Naboo Speeder those JTL Pre-order types got. Lucky gits.

Can't wait to one day own a AV-21 Landspeeder.

[Reply #529 on:]

SJM: I know they can download the episodes, but I'm not sureabout the commentaries. I have been wanting a Hyperspace account on there for a while, and it's not like it's all that expensive- $20/yr... There are lots of goodies to be had.

...the link provided by kimncris on page 4 of this thread... was that illegal?

[Reply #530 on:]

I meant which e-mail address of mine you sent it to.

[Reply #531 on:]

@Pikka: Yeah, you can get the commentaries from the official site too (or, rather, you could... though I don't see why they would have stopped).


As I mentioned somewhere, the Cartoons are coming to DVD, anyway, so you could always just wait for that.

[Reply #532 on:]

M0le: The one listed at PEEL.

If you have an alternitive, please post.

[Reply #533 on:]

I think there's something wrong with my regular hotmail account, try my g-mail account:

Don't stop with the cool screenies, either. They're awesome. 

[Reply #534 on:]

Cool, I'll show off my characters wardrobe at some point then.

[Reply #535 on:]

Nurdeh: Just got 'Into the Trap', thanks. 
Think you could also send 'Final Duel' and the music that plays when they attack the first Death Star? 

[Reply #536 on:]

Sure, why not?

[Reply #537 on:]

Yeah, Nurdy. I may not comment, but I do look at every SWG picture you post. Steer the course.

[Reply #538 on:]

From '50 Reasons why ROTJ sucks':
"The Jedi apparently have a lot in common with the Catholics. You can screw up your entire life, strangle scores of people, and oversee the construction of a planet destroying battle station, but as long as you repent with your last breath, you get to party with Yoda and Ben in the netherworld. Speaking of that, Yoda seems to have gotten the short end of the afterlife stick - why does Anakin's ghost get to regrow his hair and get all spiffed up and nice looking, while Yoda, who managed to resist the dark side all his nine-hundred-plus years, still looks like a crumpled old salamander?
 

[Reply #539 on:]

Anakin doesn't get his youthful looks back in the version of the film I have 

[Reply #540 on:]

Any DVD's of the Unaltered 2nd Edition of the first 3 films?

Newhook: Thanks, I'll keep them coming.

[Reply #541 on:]

Anakin didn't repent with his last breath.  He repented, then he got zapped by the Emperor, then he died.

[Reply #542 on:]

Yeah, he did give his own life to kill the leader of the sith, and save his son.

[Reply #543 on:]

Yeah, the whole "repenting with your lsat breath" thing is really more of a Protestant idea: a sort of justification by faith but with faith in an ideal (the Light Side philosophy,) not God.

Now, willingly sacrificing yourself to save your son and destroy an incarnation of evil?  That will get a Catholic into Heaven (Salvation through Good Works.)  Of course, since that coincided with his re-embracing the idea of "Good," then he's safe both ways.

I apologize to all Christians, especially Catholics since I'm a little fuzzy on your theology anyway, for massively oversimplifying our ideals, but I thought it a necessary correction of the misinterpretation in M0le's quote.

Now, [/religious argument] before this thread dissolves into utter spam.

[Reply #544 on:]

Also, ROTJ fucking rocked. I'll shove an Ewok skull up anyones arse if they say it doesn't.

Good point, though all those chokings have to have racked old Vader up quite a few years in purgatory.

Hey, give the guy a break. You can't have much fun when most of your body is made of cybernetic implants.

[Reply #547 on:]

I disagree. Cyborgs rule. I'd be all clanking around, making my minions scurry before me, handing out edicts in my glorious booming robot voice.
There's a great essay by Chuck Klosterman in "Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs" where he discusses how the Star Wars movies has influenced a generation Han Solo-wannabes who are really just snivelling Luke Skywalkers. Does this phenomena have anything to do with the rise of Emo music? Hmmm...
I'm really looking forward to finally seeing the big battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan.

Disclaimer: I am probably drunk again.

[Reply #548 on:]

Yeah, but having no way to have sex, that's pretty depressing. That's probably why he turned to the Dark Side..... 

[Reply #549 on:]

Yeah, he was pretty whiny before falling into that lava...

Theforce.net posted a teaser ad online for the new Target wake up campaign a couple of weeks ago. It features Darth Vader and Heidi Klum.

Did anyone else see that and think, "Wow, it's Morbo and Linda. There's no way someone thought of that without having seen Futurama," or was that just me?

(I have no idea why a post about a Target television ad campaign featuring personalities as diverse as Ice-T and Heidi Klum goes in the "Star Wars" thread, as opposed to the "It's got a tv" forum, but the Moderators have spoken.  It makes no sense, but whatever.  Hell, I was going to put it in the "General Discussion" forum because of the Morbo and Linda reference.)

[Reply #551 on:]

I just saw the reference to Darth Vader and theforce.net and thought it might go here, I haven't seen it though 

[Reply #552 on:]

I've seen the trailer of the Episode III game. It might be good, But Episode I has a game that bombed.

[Reply #553 on:]

Does Jar-jar die?

[Reply #554 on:]

Nope. It's revealed that he's Darth Sidious, though.

[Reply #555 on:]

There is like 10 new bad people

[Reply #556 on:]

....What?
Well, here's my little addition:
What the hell happened to Bevel Lemelisk? He gets taken away for trial in Darksaber and he's never mentioned again. Never even know if he gets the death penalty. Bah!

[Reply #557 on:]

I'm pretty sure that he doesn't exist anymore, thanks to Lucas being a selfish jackass who never read any of the EU novels, despite declaring them canon.

Why he never showed up in another novel?  Probably no one felt like writing about him.  He wasn't all that interesting, to tell the truth, and there's just not enough material written to give every last character's life story.  Especially since I think the EU novels are dead thanks to both the Prequels and The New Jedi Order, which I can't seem to stomach reading. 
(Also, remind me I owe R.A. Salvatore a couple smacks upside the head if I ever meet him.  Vector Prime blew, as does all his FR work...but I'll take my rant about that somewhere else.)

[Reply #558 on:]

I have a way of watching Episode I, this should help fellow EU PEELer's.

Pretend Anakin built most of Threepeo but found the head in the middle of the Dune Sea.

See? Now if you just ignore Jar Jar and the Midicholirions you can get through the worst of all Star Wars movies without over dosing on a popular brand of painkiller.

[Reply #559 on:]

I suppose the Death Star's creation backstory in Anderson's novels could work with Episode II, if you changed a few details.  That was my original point in saying that Episode II negated Lemelisk's existance - the Empire didn't develop the Death Star, the Separatists did.  But just change a few names and timelines and I guess it could work, since they all work for Palpatine anyway.

And don't get me started on the M-word.  I just like to pretend that conversation never happened (as does Lucas, it seems, since it wasn't mentioned at all in EII.)  It's especially easy since the first time I saw EI I went to take a leak during that scene.
