IeatWindex Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Come on, this really deserved a thread :) Id give a very detailed explanation of Star Wars, but Im positive everyone knows it : Star Wars is much more in-depth than some think. It has things that are quite similiar to greek mythology (anyone watched that documentary?) and is overall very intresting. My favorite episode: Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Favorite Scene: The battle of Mustafar (Including the conversations) Favorite Jedi: Obi-Wan Kenobi Favorite Sith lord: Darth Nihilus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese666me Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 i never watched star wars :? Why even try with that idiot? Honestly, there is no point whatsoever. I'd get better replies if I argued with a tree stump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range_This11 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Star Wars is a good series, very entertaining, but I think it might be a little over-rated when it comes to movies. It was better in book form. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."

IeatWindex Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 True, but I made this thread dedicated to the movies because most people watched them, not reading the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocobodude0 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Star Wars is a trilogy now? the other 3 never happened. I was wondering the same thing...Don't forget IV, V, and VI dude. Anyways, I'm such a diehard Star Wars fan. Always kept it a closet thing though. :geek: The saga is my favorite saga ever, it's insane. I'm into the series and the Expanded Universe, mainly video games, though I've read some comics online (shh) and stuff. Some crazy stuff happens that's not in the movies, both before and after. Some examples: (spoiler tagged, even though this info's been known for years): [hide=]-Chewbacca dies -Palpatine comes back to life through cloning -Han and Leia have twins, one of which turns to the dark side and becomes one of the strongest Sith Lords ever, Darth Caedus -Luke Skywalker rebuilds the Jedi Order -The old ways of the Sith (The Rule of Two) are abandoned, a sith named Darth Krayt creates an entire new sith order composed of many sith lords)[/hide] ...And that's not even the half of it. Favorite movie: Return of the Jedi Favorite Scene: Where Vader and Luke duel as Palpatine watches Favorite Jedi: Luke Skywalker Favorite Sith Lord: Darth Nihilus Favorite EU piece: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic :mrgreen: ....Man, that was the nerdiest thing I have written in my life. *goes to play basketball, weight lift, run track* :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1_man_army Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Well at the risk of being universally flamed, I don't like any of the Star Wars films (I've seen the first 3 and wasn't to keen to see the new ones). I've never been that interested in sci-fi films to start with (although there are a few obvious exceptions) but Star Wars particularly irritates me. I find many of the characters annoying (especially C3P0) and I just find my self rolling my eyes if I try to watch the films (even when I was a child), they just don't entertain me personally. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agunimon979 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I love star wars, my favorite one is The Phantom Menace I don't consider the novels to be part of the trilogy. Whatever was in the movies and what George Lucas released is what I only considered canon, for example, Darth Sidious = dead. He didn't come back through the force mysterious cloning or something. Ffs authors, when something's dead it's dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IeatWindex Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 I completely misused the word :| I will change the title. Should saga fit correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I had a Star Wars fase. It's easy to like, and I won't say that they are bad films. Highly entertaining. The fan-base is highly annoying though. These days I only watch the Star Wars movies when I am sick at home, especially with a cold. I make tea, I let my bother (that's my brother, or my mother) buy me a sack of M&M Crispy and a pot of Honey. I drink the tea. I dip a spoon into the honey, and then roll it trough the M&Ms. I do all that while watching Star Wars. When I'm doing this I prefer to watch the new movies. The older ones are better though. Still, the new ones are underrated in my opinion. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

oreocookie987 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I always liked these movies, they're incredible. My favorite episode: Star Wars III, Revenge of the Sith Favorite Scene: Battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan. Favorite Jedi: Qui-Gon and Mace Windu. Favorite Sith lord: Anakin before he put on the Vader suit. Expecting a good life because you're a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge because you're a vegetarian.

Lenin64 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'm a real Star Wars freak lol. I know all sorts of stuff my friends don't, names of species and such that are only glimpsed, events between/after movies, etc. I haven't read all the books and such, though, so I only know sketchy details of stuff like the Yuzhon-Vong invasion, Han and Leia's kids, that stuff. Don't know all the major details, like how Luke rebulds the Order or anything. Command the Murderous Chalices!

kickbuta Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Im not surprised that Leia rode Hans Millenium Falcon :lol: If you get what I mean... :mrgreen: You mean he fired his proton torpedoes inside her deathstar? Oh I'm sorry that I had to say that. But I love the trilogy I even read a few of the Timothy Zahn(sp?) books, there quite interesting and I sugest them to anybody who likes a good science fiction book even if they dont like Star Wars all that much (though their much better when you do).

IeatWindex Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 There's the books based on the saga, and then those weird Star Wars books with completely different people like "The Force #27" I hate those knock-offs. In 4th grade, I had a teacher that loved Yoda. She had some figurines, and those knock-off books. Plus she looks like Goddess's twin. She was pregenant at the time, looked just like Goddess.

Those aren't "knock-offs", they're actual stories set in the Star Wars universe that are canon. Some of them are even written by Lucas himself. You've obviously never read them, they're really good. Some are even better than the movies. Hating the Expanded Universe stuff just because it isn't in movie form is rediculous. You're missing out on the whole picture by just looking at the two trilogies, dude. And Expanded Universe isn't just novels, either. It's comics, video games (such as Battlefront, KOTOR, the upcoming The Force Unleashed), TV shows (like that Clone Wars minisaga on CN, or the upcoming live action series), a ton of stuff. If you don't know about this stuff, you'll never see some way interesting stuff, like WHY Grevious sided with the Confederacy, or why Dooku left the Jedi Order. Really important stuff to the saga.

Lenin64 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Darth Maul I didn't care for, but Count Dooku. Brilliantly manipulating the Clone Wars and playing essentially on both sides. He enlisted Jango Fett for the Clone Army, established the facilities on Kamino, and still managed to direct the Seperatists. =D> And why did he leave the Order? General Grievous kicked the [wagon], too. Do we know anything about him other than species/planet? It's something like Matabbu or something with an M, a race of fierce hunters and warriors. I have a book on this stuff, I'll look it up later.... Command the Murderous Chalices!

I have a book on this stuff, I'll look it up later.... Dooku left the Order because he felt that the Jedi had become no more than pawns of the senate, just a galactic security service to the senates wishes; and to an extent, he was right. He felt the need to work for justice, not politics. Grevious is a Kaleesh. During the clone wars, his species is at war with a rival species, the Huk. The Huk recieved Republic support because their world was rich with ore. Grevious later was involved in a mysterious starship crash that almost killed him. While dying, he swore veangence on the Jedi and republic for siding with the Huk. The confederacy then repaired him, and in exchange he became general of their droid army, and Dooku gave him lightsaber training. And when Maul died, that wasn't the last the galaxy so of him...

Agunimon979 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 And when Maul died, that wasn't the last the galaxy so of him... Yeah, he got revived by putting his legs back on or something... like that's never been done before... :roll: Now they're going to try to revive greivous if they haven't already. Also wouldn't be suprised if Ben Kenobi was really alive, like he made a force twin or something.... This is how it is according to me. Jedi went to Naboo, found kid, Qui gon died, anakin's obi wans master, they do whatever happened in The Attack of the Clones, the clone wars, what happened in Revenge of the Sith, Luke skywalker is born, fights the empire, slays the emperor and sees his father's face and they secure the galaxy. The end. *Runs to the fanboy-proof bunker* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
