[anal retentive nerdiness] Why is it called "Jedi Rocks"?

That was a joke.

 

No, RLY?

 

And the Jedi were against "attachments", which means that they were either Complete Monsters in the bedroom, or they were deliberately not reproducing, i.e., symbolic eunuchs.

 

At the Austin premiere of TPM in 1999 (an event captured on video by numerous TV journalists), my good friend, horror writer and movie-poster designer Stephen Romano, kept shouting out "JEDI ROCKS!" to the crowd, to TV cameras and interviewers who asked his opinion, to small children, and seemingly, at times, to himself while standing in line.

"HEY! JEDI ROCKS!"

It was extremely funny, partly because he hates that song and recognizes the absurdity inherent in the title, partly because it has nothing whatsoever to do with TPM, and partly because Steve is just a funny guy. Whenever I see the title of that egregious little number, I always think of his seemingly schizophrenic shouting.

As to what it means, I'll let others decide.

 

Any idea if any of those videos are on YouTube?

 

Unfortunately, not that I'm aware of. If you find one, I'm the tall guy next to Romano with a C3PO action figure tucked into his shirt pocket.

JEDI ROCKS!!

 

Jizz music is Rock music?? I thought Jizz music was Jazz music. "Jedi Rocks" sounded like Jazz to my ears.

 

nah, not jazz at all. its rock.

 

I don't like it. I miss the old version of Sy-Snootles doing her thing

 

TATOOINER 1: Hey, want to go see a jizz band?

TATOOINER 2: Pass.

TATOOINER 1: Why? What's the problem?

TATOOINER 2: Remember when we went to that Gallagher concert and I ended up covered in watermelon?

TATOOINER 1: Yeah...

TATOOINER 2: Same problem.

 

They just cover you with their hot sticky foam.

Please tell me nobody's Rule 34'd a jizz band yet. I mean, I know Star Wars has been Rule 34'd a lot, from Aniobi slash to Leia's bikini to Vader torturing Leia (courtesy of The Dark Ranger) to...just about anything with a Twi'lek.

 

You're missing the whole point of Rule 34. If you can imagine it, it's out there.

 

The last rule 34 version of SW I saw was so far removed, it lost all interest.

 

Actually, that's not true. If you're too specific, you're doing it wrong. For instance, Star Wars exists. Therefore, there is porn of Star Wars. Do not think, however, that there's porn of Lobot and Chief Bast. (Talk about a crack pairing.)

Also, abstract concepts do not necessarily have porn of them. You can't Rule 34, Rule 34, for instance.

That case with The Dark Ranger was interesting, because he has to be the first person to get a whole newsgroup banned. "Agony In Pink" is one of the more (in)famous fanfics for a reason, after all. One of these days, I'll MST it.
