@Lady_Belligerent I tired to find the one were lettermen gets dozens of santas to go into a donut shop but i found this one.
@Jar-Jar Binks Got introduced to the Wars in 2004 over Christmas via my dad. We watched A New Hope (Special Edition of course ), and then over the next few days/weeks off we went through ESB, ROTJ, TPM, and AOTC. ROTJ was my favorite after I first watched the OT, and I do remember staying home sick to watch ANH (I doubt I was actually sick, because the first thing I did was watch A New Hope!). TPM actually blew my mind when I first saw it in the weeks after that - I could not believe how FAST the Jedi were moving, and then AOTC took it to a new level when Mace Windu turned on a purple lightsaber and Yoda went crazy at the end. I vaguely remember my siblings and I all doing our best Yoda impressions with the plastic toy Yoda saber we had. ROTS wasn't even out yet! So you could say Star Wars is very much a "family thing" for me.
Forgot to add that I was in 5th grade at the time. So the Yoda "reveal" in ESB was not a surprise at all for me - I knew who he was due to pop culture.
HEY BINGLINGS WELCOME BACK TO THE LATE SHOW WITH JAR JAR BINKS COUNTDOWN TO 2024 todays Wednesday, December 27th, 2023. 4 days til new years eve! thanks for sharing @Darkslayer are you van diesel? any plans for new years eve? ______________________________________________________ @Lady_Belligerent my new neighbor is creepy as hell. serial killer vipes.... how are you? the late show with jar jar binks would like to thank you lady b for being a user that makes sure to post after me so i can keep posting.
I’m good, Binks! Thank you. The new neighbor sounds delightful, please keep us updated on what happens! @Darkslayer do you have any SW themed tattoos, or decor in your home?
No plans for New Years Eve at the present. I usually do something with my group of hometown friends but it seems like they are...otherwise engaged...this year...sigh. And I am not a fan of Vin Diesel. No tattoos, but define "decor?"
In your home or workplace? I have a lot of SW decor around my house, on the walls and figures on shelves. Even in the kitchen SW is represented.
Well, I will be moving into a new place soon, so kind of hard to say, but usually there is Star Wars stuff everywhere. Coffee cups, glasses, posters, Legos, and even a Death Star serving platter.
Hey Binglings Welcome back to the late show with jar jar binks countdown to 2024 : special edition we are interviewing darkslayer before that first i'd like to ask you all what was your best part of 2023? @Dandelo @Lady_Belligerent @Nehru_Amidala @DarthIshyZ @christophero30 @Dagobahsystem @Guidman @PCCViking @Adella7 @Jedi Bluth @El Jedi Colombiano @Jedi Knight Fett @gezvader28 @DarthHass @devilinthedetails @HanSolo29 @Psych_Jedi @I Are The Internets @Valency Jane @QueenSabe7 you disappeared? @heels1785 @cubman987 @PymParticles @Darkslayer you are more then welcome to see how big a loser i am as i try and throw a new years eve party on the forums. questions; favourite SW characters? favourite SW vehicles? favourite SW music? favourite SW lightsaber color? what movies do you like? what tv shows do you like? what music do you like? any pets? how big is your family? why do you dislike van diesel? one of my favorite songs from 2023 may roll some eyes;
The best part of 2023 for me wasmost of the year (minus the last three months)... I saw so many concerts; got visit Las Vegas and Atlanta. Met loads of famous people at a few cons (even made a great friend at one, and been hanging out with him ever since). Overall, 2023 was good year, (even the last three months couldn't take that away). Looking forward to 2024, and what all is yet to come!
Best part of 2023? Attending the Illinois State Track Meet as a coach this year - I loved the kids and my coworkers at my last school lots, they were so great to work with! 1. Favorite SW characters: Mace Windu, the Father, Darth Plagueis, Revan, Cad Bane, the Son, Maul, the Daughter, Galen Marek, Yoda 2. Favorite SW vehicles: The Death Star II, the Death Star, the Invisible Hand, the Jedi Defender-class Corvette, the Mortis Monolith, the BT-7 Thunderclap, the Resolute, the Republic Gunship, the Sith Infiltrator, the Ebon Hawk (I'm a bit shaky on this list, but that's what I can come up with off the top of my head) 3. Favorite SW music: "Star Wars Main Title and the Arrival at Naboo," "I Am the Senate" (when Mace and the Jedi arrest Palpatine), "Clash of Titans" (when Yoda and Sidious duel in the Senate Chamber), "Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Darth Maul Continue Battle," "Everyone Fighting" (from the Altar of Mortis episode), "Revan" (the main theme from KOTR), "Maul, Savage, and Vizsla" (from The Clone Wars), "Attack of the Clones" (when the clones arrive on Geonosis), "The Lawless" (when Sidious goes to fight Maul and Savage), and "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (the main theme) - Again, off the top of my head, and I could definitely keep going, I love these scores so much, but I'll restrict myself to these 10! 4. Favorite SW lightsaber color: Purple, and I'm sure @cubman987 will be surprised to hear it 5. What movies do you enjoy watching: Honestly, I enjoy most movies I watch. There are some you watch that are just yuck, but mostly, I tend to have a positive attitude about most films. It's a movie, you're supposed to be having fun watching it! I generally prefer franchise films though: Star Wars, Middle-Earth, the SnyderVerse, and the MCU in specific. If you are really curious, I have a list of all the movies I have given a 10/10 to I can put it in a separate post 6. What TV shows do you like? I'll type out my Top 10. 1. The Clone Wars 2. Obi-Wan Kenobi 3. Game of Thrones 4. Loki 5. John Adams 6. Ahsoka 7. Sherlock 8. The Mandalorian 9. Hawkeye 10. Percy Jackson & the Olympians 7. What kind of music do you like? Soundtracks, Christmas Music, and the occasional foray into Rock & Roll. I do have a mega playlist of every song I've enjoyed listening to that's NOT a soundtrack, so if you want to know about individual song recs, fire away! 8. Any pets? My family has the MOST AMAZING DOG EVER named Bogey - I can post a photo if you want! 9. How big is your family? I have 1 brother (6 years younger than me) and 1 sister (2 and a half years younger), so 5 people and 1 dog 10. Why do you dislike Vin Diesel? He's a terrible actor.
I do appreciate your opinion of movies @Darkslayer. I’ve always been of the opinion that it’s okay if something isn’t amazing, just enjoy the moment and move on.
WHATS UP BINGLINGS ITS COUNTDOWN TO 2024 we have been interviewing darkslayer give it up for darkslayer think we will ask them a question tonight and once again tomorrow. so get your questions in soon. @Darkslayer interesting stuff. seems like you are closer to the darkside then the light, is that far to say? when did your favourite lightsaber become purple? AOTC when windu uses it for the first time? if you can post a pet photo that would be awesome. van diesel is an awful actor? i feel like he is so bad that isn't an excuse not to like him. @Nehru_Amidala thats awesome. how long are you staying at your sisters? are you taking the train back home? @Tia will you be online for new years and how much earlier is midnight in the uk? 8 hours? @DarthHass you are still my new favourite. hope your well.
