JCC Embrace The FU - Formerly the STAR WARS IS BAD thread

I haven't seen Rebels, but Sheevus H. Palpatine, that trailer for S2 looks incredible.

Can I come over to your house to watch it?

 

No.

 

They'd probably not be great company anyway.

 

I'd wear any one of those on Xmas day except for Merry Sithmas -- too creepy for the kids.

 

Really, if you can't wear a Darth Vader sweater on Christmas, what can you wear?

 

Where are the Holiday Special sweaters??

 

nothing comes between me and my Vader knitwear

 

Going commando?

 

I'm always afraid I'm getting so old no one will ever understand any of my pop culture references.

Great article, except for the part about not seeing the movie. It always does my heart good to see a professional call the prequels "execrable" in print:

What a whiney bastard.

Edit: The writer, not you, Jabba. Well, not on this occasion.

 

I agree with Jabba. Good article, largely agree but for seeing it.
In fact I'll be throwing a party for the premiere!

I did so for ROTS and it's the only fond memory I have of that film.

 

I remember back in summer of 2002 my mom wanted to see AOTC again with me, and I was like, no I'd rather watch Scooby Doo. I dunno, I was 10 when it came out, so would it be unusual for a preteen to not like the PT at that point? All my other friends loved the **** out of AOTC.

 

Can we all make a gentlemen's agreement to not use the name Sheev ever again when referring to PalpaSids in these boards? It's just so...ugh...****** stupid, Shiva analogy notwithstanding. So many Roman Emperors to choose from, ffs...

 

I am dammit!

 

I don't see that article as good. It seems the author is just presenting his/her opinion and take on things as fact. For example:

>Once I had learned a thing or two about film-making, I realised what makes Star Wars so special. It isn’t just Lucas’s ingenious storytelling, which fuses Arthurian legend, Eastern philosophy and Hollywood genre film. It’s the loose, from-the-hip style that seems very indie by the standards of today’s movie franchises. The dusty, beaten-up visual design, done on a budget with sets and props improvised in real Tunisian desert dwellings, the costumes recycled from old studio horror films, add depth and charm to the space-opera milieu and scintillating analogue effects.

Sure, this might be what makes Star Wars special to the author, but this isn't Truth or Word of God, it's just their opinion.

 

Speaking of recycling, I meant to post this a while ago. One for the Whovians.

 

Why, does something about the name SHEEV not sit well with you? I think SHEEV is a pretty great name for ol' SHEEV Palpatine. The SHEEVster. SHEEV Buscemi.

 

Isn't Tarkin's first name Woldorf or something along those lines? No I'm not looking it up. I'd rather be in denial.

 

Wilhuff, the cheap knock-off of the Waldorf, actually. Instead of apples it uses peaches it's... it's not great.

 

I'd rather be on an exploding Death Star than sit through this garbage!

 

President of China SHEEV Xinping

 

okay what's this sheev thing?

 

It's what Mama Palps named her baby boy.
