Super Palpy: The Pants Situation

Coruscant.

The galactic capital burned brightly, a thousand lights cast a dull golden glow over the cityscape. Shadows hid from the shimmering luminal display and fled down the miles-deep gorges into the face of the urban planet. The sun was blotched out and spattered around the cloud line, a reddish accent to the azure sky above. A thousand spires reached beyond the sky into infinity as a thousand more airspeeders buzzed about the glistening towers. The droning of repulsor engines scooped the entire city into a frenzied urban choir of monstrous proportions as the indutry of city whirred about in its endless course of duty.

The slate grey permacrete of the towering monoliths stood in silent vigil to the oncoming shuttle. The shuttle's ion engines glowed a warm red engine cycle, twisting in the nether spectrum of obtrusive red. The droning of the engines screamed and blighted the monotone of the living city below it. Two TIE Fighters, identifiable by the trademark hexagonal wings swept by, staying close enough to direct the larger ship on a pre-determined course, and far away to lend an air of respect to the shuttle's occupants. Painted in bold black upon the starboard side of the starship were the words Daddy's Girl.

The shuttle's engines continuous whirring died down as it crept over a thin rising plateau. Shifting from ion thrust to vertical repulsors, the shuttle descended into a rapidly expanding hole being created as twin sheets upon the flat topped construction slid upon, grinding the metallic flats as they buckled open.

"Shuttle, this is Palace Control. State your cargo and destination." Captain Devir spoke through the microphone in his command console in the clipped and precise tones of the Imperial officer class.

"Control, this is Shuttle Daddy's Girl. Tell the Emperor that his daughter and his grandchildren are here to visit." A pleasant, reassuring voice burst through the static on the comm channel. Devir's face turned a livid green. His face convulated into a hideous parody of a shocked smirk.

"****! Its her...." Devir sat bolt upright and whispered to the controller next to him who found it hard to suppress a mocking grin.

"Captain Devir, where is that shuttle going...." The punctuated mechnical tones of Darth Vader swept across the control room.

"Damn it! Its her." Devir swivelled around to see a startled Vader. Vader shifted uneasily. "I'm not here. I'm not me. Got it?"

"Control....? Is that you Devs?"

"No?"

"You sound a lot like Ispid Devir to me..."

"No, uhh, this is not Devir." Devir tried a failing parody of a disguised voice. "Devir has been transferred to.... Hoth. Yes, Hoth. This is Lieutenant...."

"As you were, officer who isn't Devir." Somewhere in the background, but audible over the the comm channels was Darth Vader. Vader looked imploringly through his helmet, spun away and ran off not knowing completely why.

"... Jast." Devir shot an angry glance at a retreating black cloak as it tucked away behind a sharp corner.

"Ips you missed your last support payment last month you know. Once daddy finds out..."

"Did she say 'Ips'?" Vader's voice rang through the corridors.

"I said Devir is not here. This is Lieutenant Jast. How may I serve you?" Devir coughed violently out of the microphone. His face grew strained under the pressure.

"Okay, Jast. Direct me to the Emperor's Hangar then...."

"Yes, ma'am." Devir sent a quivering finger to toggle the transmission button on his keypad. A high-pitched tone erupted, signalling the data transmission.

"Thank you."

"No problem...." Devir sighed and slumped back into his chair.

"Nerf-herder."

Palpatina, heir to the galactic throne, walked down the extending shuttle landing ramp.

Billowing clouds of gas leaked out through vents on the shuttle's underside as creaking machinery worked its way to functionality. A black knee-high boot clapsed itself onto the durasteel lamp. It stretched upwards to a tight form-fitting body suit. Wrapped around it was a loose red shoal, a bright Imperial insignia painted on it in bri

 

I'm just posting cause I think the title's funny. Oh, the story's cool too.

Ahh, humor involving Palpatine. It is unfortunately too few and far between (at least with good examples like this).

You made me laugh at Star Wars. I only laughed at Star Wars when A-I read Allston's awesome humor B-I read Stackpole's Humor C- when Callista is in pain. tongue.gif

 

Has anyone else noticed these two things other then me? or am I a freak..well..I guess you have to see them first so here it goes...

*Have you ever wondered why..*
Qui Gon keeps putting his hands on Shmi's shoulders? Was something going on between them or was it just me?

Also, what kind of accent does Jar Jar have? Is it just me or does it sound rather Jamaican?Finally, why does he not to the shaking/spitting thing after he is done speaking?

::shrugs::

 

About the whole Qui-gon Shmi thing I think you wonder too much but we will see in the movies!!

About Jar Jar I'm with you - he sound kinda Jamaican, maybe a little too much for my taste, but what could they have done!
I also think he is a little too much of a comedian sidekick - they went over the edge wiht him! The whole spitting and shaking thing is only Boss Nass that does this. I haven't seen other Gungans do it either so this confirms my thoughts!

 

JarJar has a decidedly Gungan accent. The same as BossNass has.

JarJar does that shaking thing once but it's nowhere near as pronounced as BossNass'. Maybe it's an age thing. BossNass is getting old

 

For Pete's sake, Jar Jar is a Gungan! Gungans have Gungan accents! Jeez, how thick r u guys?!?!

That was uncalled for, Briji.

 

Well, after all the troubles I have had with my video it's done. A lot of my friends want to see it, so I thought I would burn it onto a CD, or put it back on my digital cam and then onto a VHS tape. Unfortunately I have tried both ways, and neither seem to work.

When I try to burn it, I use Adaptec CD Creator, I go into the program, but when I attempt to record it onto the CD, it says that my CD burner can't be detected, and I should check the connection. But the drive is recognized in my System and My Computer folers.

Then I try to put it back on my camera. I use Ulead. I;m actually not sure how to get it back to my camcorder using it.

I also have Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere if any of these help.

This is of diere importance, if any one can help me it would be a great help.

 

As far as burning it, if you're getting that error with EZ CD Creator try reinstalling it or gettin another CD Creation software (if that's the non-retail version you need a new package anyway to do VCDs. NTI CD maker is a pretty goot choice...

As far as going back to video, that depends on what card you have. What card do you have?

 

I use firewire.

 

Well, then you will have to export it to your DV camera and then copy from the DV to a VHS. As far as how exactly to export it, I know the theory but have never actually done it in practice. Perhaps someone a little more versed in the firewire universe could give you better advice. What firewire software are you using?

 

1) That was Called for.


2) Quit makin fun of a species accents. They may sound Jamacin to you but to the Naboo they sound Gungunien. mad.gif

 

Right on!

Mace Windy.
the windiest is back!

 

Hell yeah Qui-Gon & Shmi are close....they're the two oldest people in the movie (except for Palpatine & Valorum) and Qui-Gon cares about her.

"Danger, Will Robinson!"

 

I don't thinks so Nar., Qui-Gon has done the same thing with a lot of different people in the past so I would say that it is morely out of a show of respect not out of love.

(where do u guess get these ideas?)

(and yes I am only an Apprentice despite what it says under my name, just ignore that; I'll announce when I do have my true Knighthood here)
