*Official Thread* - C-IV Social Thread - Good Times and Beyond!

This was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. If you didn't catch it... please make sure you do. You won't be dissapointed.

 

I have heard too many people rave about this. I will have to make time to see it.

 

Here's an observation: Has anybody else recognized that the StarWars.com website has not been updated with any new content since Monday? The announcement of the "Art of Ralph McQuarrie" book has been the main update for the past several days.

Could this mean they are "saving up" for a few new CIV updates? Hmmmmm....

 

Would be nice!

 

I'm going to change subjects here a little and just ask...............
Is it me or have some really weird people shown up here lately?
Some of the posts are creepy.

 

???? What do you mean Pwinkle?

 

Well one guy showed up and posted the same msg on three different threads about wanting to hook up with someone. I mean being single and setting up a singles thing is one thing, but going out of your way to say "hey, I'm a guy, I want a girl to share a room" is a little creepy. What's even weirder is I'm sure there is some freak of a girl out there who would consider it. And then people wonder why they end up in little pieces in someone's trunk!

 

Well, it's different strokes. I took down the spammy ones. I just ask that people try to "be careful out there" (and if you know what TV show this is a first reference to, A++ for you! ).

 

LOL - guess I didn't pay any attention to the "weird" posts and just passed over them...

 

Justin, they were removed in record time .

 

To correct Grumpy Jedi.... Cingles is actually spelled Singles.

Just wanted to throw that out there for people who cared.

 

What are you talking about?

 

Actually, I thought I saw that on here and assumed cingles was some clever term for convention singles. Guess I was wrong.

gesh.. of course I know it's not cingles... I ain't stoopid.

 

Cingles.... Egad! Whatsa meesa saying?

 

well at least it's not another phrase we laughed at Grump!
HAHA!

 

I have decided one of my missions at C4 is seeing if I can get any information in regards to the two spacetroopers outside the death star in ANH. I would just love to find out what the back pack looks like.

 

Spacetroopers?

 

I have a question. In Star Wars, Han tells looks "traveling through space ain't like dusting crops, boy."

All these years, I've never given that line much though but now it bothers me. Han assumes Luke is a farmer so okay... but on Tatooine, there are no crops. The only kind of farmers are moisture farmers. Hmmm... anyone else ever think of this?

 

Yes space stormtroopers.
Next time you watch ANH when it comes to the scene where you see the falcon enter the death star docking bay pause it and you will spot two stormtroopers with backpacks on.

 

There are other kinds of farmers in the SW universe I'm sure. I'm guessing Han has seen those more than moisture farmers. He's just going from a generalization of his experiences (similar to those on earth who has seen crop dusters).

 

Yeah, Ben, I know which ones you mean. I've kinda been curious about that too. There were pics of it on the RPF boards, but nothing clear cut. Even the Hi Res pics don't do 'em justice...

 

I don't recall ever seeing a Spacetrooper figure in any of Kenner's/Hasbro's line of figures.

 

Hey TSH, how was the MFalcon ride? Did you end up going on it? Are all your sore dancing spots feeling better?

 

Never did get on the Falcon. The line was capped for the day and I didn't feel like trying to get in. I will be back and can ride it another day.

My feet (more so my knees) were aching all day on Sunday! I got some bruises from my armor that I'd never had before. Now I know why they made stunt armor. I might need special dancing armor if I try to do that again...

 

Hmmm, do they sell that on Ebay or will you have to get it directly from LFL?

I got a few pictures when I did the Falcon ride earlier that day. I sat in the pilot's seat and got to push all the buttons. It looks like your really in the cockpit. It's so cool!!! The Falcon is my absolute favorite ship so I know I'll be going on it again. I'm probably gonna be there this Sunday and might be able to make it on the first fan day, too. I'll get to pilot it in my Jedi robes. Fun, fun, fun!

It was very different being there just as a patron on Sunday when we had the run of the place the night before. It sure did look different, too. Vader's Room was completely empty. Bummer!
