    Ok all you fabulous SWC'ers out there, here's my first attempt to start a new game*!

    Here are the rules:

    1) Every week or so, a "game manager" will post between 1 to 3 new SW-related photos or film/TV stills. The image must be a still shot/screen grab from a SW movie or TV series (or who knows, maybe even the beloved Holiday Special[face_laugh]), a behind-the-scenes shot, or an official publicity still. (NO FAN-CREATED OR FAN-ALTERED IMAGES, please).

    2) Users will then try to caption any or all of the new photo(s) posted in a humorous (but TOS-appropriate) way. Users are welcome to post more than one caption per image, but should do so in a way that avoids double-posting or otherwise spamming the thread.

    3) For each new round, the person who posted that round's photo(s) will act as the (unofficial) "game manager." That person will review all the captions that have been posted and pick whichever caption they liked best. (Note that, when acting as the game manager, you are welcome to post your own caption(s) for that round's image(s), but you cannot select any of your own captions as that round's winner.) The game manager will announce that round's "winner," and then that person will choose a new photo or photos to post and will become the sole judge for the next round...and so on, and so on. The trick will be to select images that easily lend themselves to silly/humorous captions!

    4) Once you finish a round as game manager, you will be ineligible to be selected as the winner for one additional round (the round immediately following the one you judged), though you are always welcome to post a caption or captions.

    Sorry, but since this is an unofficial game, there are no colors to win--just the satisfaction of giving a few laughs to your fellow SWC'ers and knowing that you've been successful in wasting a little more of your time on the internet:p

    So, here's the first photo:

    Have at it!

    It's a little known fact that the "Lost Cut" of Star Wars showed a much greater influence from The Wizard of Oz than was apparent in the finished film.

    Just an announcement: anyone else who would like to post a caption for the first photo needs to post it by tonight (Saturday).

    Sometime tomorrow, I will be choosing one of the five entries posted from this week (my "entry" doesn't count of course) as the first big winner:p. I will tag that person and then they will get to select the next photo and pick the winning caption from the next round of entries. (If anyone who wins doesn't have a new photo already in mind and doesn't want to spend time looking for one, I have at least ten possibilities already assembled in a list I'd be happy to share.)

    This is past the deadline, so I understand that this won't eligible for competition, but I'm submitting it as an out-of-competition entry.

    George Lucas (giving directions to Harrison Ford): Well, our idiot set designer built the stairs going the wrong way, and with our limited budget, we can't afford to fix it. So, Harrison, I'm going to need you to do that thing where you pretend you're walking down a set a stairs by bending your legs more and more as you move forward...
    Now, what's wrong Harrison? You can't keep your balance!? Come on, we're running behind schedule. Look, Mark just hold Harrison's hand so he won't fall over...
    Would you stop giggling, Hamill!?! Harrison can't stay in character! Okay, everybody, let's give it another take..."

    (BTW, I know according to the rules Pensivia can't win this, but she would get my vote for the best entry if I were the judge.)

    "You have all captioned gallantly. Worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi Council Forums. Now...[this round] is finished."

    I really enjoyed all the entries in this first round and choosing just one was harder than I anticipated! Hopefully we can keep this going for while so that everybody will have a chance to host:p

    The winner and host of round 2 is...Ananta Chetan!

    It's not really cheating if your wife is ambiguously canon.
