Oceania * Kieca's Cantina *

Hey! They don't allow my kind in here!

 

Barbarjinks might dispute that JE. He seems to like his chuba pie.
I'd rather fried icecream personally.

 

All those for fried ice-cream!

*leaves bowls on counter and hurridly leaves before the stampede*

 

I'm sure maestrino would like one.

So, shall we discuss anything serious now we are all fed and watered?

How about an oldie but goodie: favourite Star Wars moment.

I will lead the stampede for Binary sunset, plus Luke lifting Threepio (the music!) and the end - the ORIGINAL way. I also liked Obi-Wan's smart comments in the bongo sub.

 

You talking about the ending for ROTJ? Because I certainly preferred the original ending.

 

Yes, I was referring to the end of RotJ. Bring back Yubyub!

 

Hmm....love that binary sunset. Also Luke staring at the funeral pyre. Favourite funny bits are Obi in the bongo and Han blasting the 'boring conversation'. Hehehe

 

Strangely enough, my favourite parts come TESB. The retreat from Echo Base, and Vader's revelation to Luke are top of the list. Even most of Yoda's scenes are superb.

 

Mmmmm, the retreat from Echo Base was something else.

 

The "my hands are dirty" scene is a classic...and "I know", of course. Here's an interesting little piece on thatt scene from the Annotated screenplays:

Irvin Kershner: "The only difference I ever had with George on the cutting happened when Han is about to go into the freezing chamber and Leai tells him, "I love you". When I was shooting the scene, Han was supposed to reply: "I love you, too." So we did a take, and I said, "Wait a minute, Harrison, I don't like the dialogue." It's like she wins, she said it first, and "I love you too" is pretty weak stuff for Han Solo because he is too smart, too arrogant for that. So Harrison asked, "What do you want?" And I said, "I don't know; let's improvise." So Leia says: "I love you," and he goes: "yeah, yeah.' And we tried it again and again with different lines, and finally Harrison says, "I give up, I don't know what the hell to say." The crew is hating me by now; it's hot, we're way up high on this set, they're all hungry, it was a nightmare. Finally Harrison says, "Let's do it one more time and that's it." So she says, "I love you," and he replies "I know." And it just came out of him, and I said, "Cut!" The assistant turns to me and says, "You're not going to use this, are you?" And I said, "Why not? It's perfect."

So there you are - groovey huh? I hope I'm not infringing copyright or anything.

 

Hey, who cares?

 

I do. That's pretty neat stuff JE.

*continues to eat fried ice cream*

This is pretty neat stuff too Kieca. Tasty too.

 

*****. I meant, who cares whether it's infringing on copyright.

 

Why thankyou my dear Ki-Bara
I'm attempted to do some fried chubas, except that didn't go very well....

 

***GC looks over the selections....***

Ah, do you guys do a flameout? It's the only thing that'll sooth my throat.

 

I'm sure barbarjinks would have some good chuba recipes.

 

Kieca you should really have some music going on in here. How bout a little Max Rebo?

 

Aw! Why not get Princess Leia to turn up and sing the life day song for us.

 

Unfortunately, Max Rebo is booked out for the next 6 months, but we're on a waiting list.
Princess Leia? I wish...
Anyone else wish to do the honours?

 

I expect someone will insert a monty python song in here in pretty soon.
And they say were not civilised!

 

I'm a bounty hunter I'm ok
I sleep all night and I hunt all day...

 

I'm a Gungan and I'm ok
I'm so clumsy I scare everyone away...

 

anyone from Adelaide around here?
and do you have matchbooks here, i'm a collector

 

I'm a Jedi I'm OK
With my saber I swing and sway

That was pretty crap, don't you reckon?

 

Always look on the light side of the force:
whistle whistle whistle...
