Well up yours too, buddy.

True. I did think it was realistic which is why I did read a whole bunch of post-Endor EU novels, I just meant what I said, that it cheapened the struggle depicted in the movies. I'm okay to some extent with Luke and friends fighting the Remnant for a few years after that, but.... it makes the Battle of Endor seem like just another step in liberating the galaxy and Palpatine and Vader as just two Sith out of dozens or hundreds, while the movie very clearly implies that an extremely important blow was struck that freed the galaxy from tyranny and ended the Sith threat.

I like both. Star Trek has the Enterprise Star Wars has the Millennium Falcon.

Well some poor child at Target's won't be getting this ship anytime soon wuwhahahah . Although it isn't the Falcon (yet) it's still one of the more iconic ships in Star Wars---http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp212/sbcmarine81/Slave1_zpsf8684993.jpg. Saddly it's not electronic----but it does shoot a missle a pretty good distance .

What the hell---that lazy man's Star Wars. Where the fun of getting off the couch and chang----ing----hmmmmm I might have to give this a shot .

lol it is tempting to try to watch that

Well let's looks at this now---you can watch all six films at once and if the audio mix doesn't bother you-you can at least get cought up on all six films in a very little amount of time it would take to view them all one at a time.

This is... amazing. I hope YouTube doesn't take it down, though I suspect it's only a matter of time. Side-by-side, it's very striking how well Ep. 4 holds up visually, especially the climix.

From the posts here it seems like people who read the novels are in the minority? What do people think of the novels in general?

Only noval I've read was Shadows of the Empire (I also have the comic books too) and it was a very good book but sadly its lost in the mist of time from moving to much.

I have Shadows of the Empire and the one that followed it, as well as the Boba Fett book, Tales from the Cantina and Death Troopers as well as a few others. Only one I really read from cover to cover was, Shadows of the Empire, the Boba Fett on, and Tales from the Cantina. Couldn't really get into Death Troopers.

Does anyone remember the build your own lightsaber thing they sold for a while? I totally want one, and the clone trooper blaster rifle.

I bought one for my son and my nephew one year for Christmas. It was really cool putting them together. I wanted one myself but never did actually get around to buying one.

Star Wars is crazy overrated.

I haven't seen the build your own Lightsaber in a very long time but the Clone Troopers Blaster is still in stores like Targets or Toys'R'Us.

I got one when I was little, but being a small child i scattered the pieces... The clone trooper blaster looks [censored] awesome.

I prefer the prequels because of the epic battles and effects! The original trilogy was boring and slow in my opinion. *Runs off and goes into hiding for the rest time*

Honestly, though, I do think the prequels aren't bad. I don't prefer them to the original trilogy, but they're not as bad as people make out. The story and depth behind them still good. It's not all about effects, like most people think, it's the story of how Darth Vader came to be. It was the story behind how the Jedi order came to pass and the Sith came to power. It frustrates me that so many people hate the prequels because they're not the same as the original trilogy! Just because they're different doesn't make them bad! People need to have a more open mind!

If I had to choose which of the three prequels to like, one had the first drunk,qustionable and hypocritical jedi, two had some good fighting scenes minus the horrible love story but three imo was the best of the three.

I hope Hayden Christiansen makes a cameo in the new SW trilogy.

Haha!

...You are kidding, right?

I hope he does too........then he dies violently oh wait it's Disney ................. He'll die in a excruciating way offscreen.

That's not Disney----first he'll nearly die off screen then recovers after spending some time recovering he'll think back on life and have a change of heart, then after he get's out of the hospital or medical wing---he'll sing and dance and everything will be nice and sunny http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/442/151/c74.

Haha, I agree with you, actually. As I said I got into Star Wars between Episodes II and III, and enough years has elapsed since my hardcoe SW fandom that I now view the new trilogy with some nostalgia. I imagine it's what people who were first exposed to the old trilogy as a kid/teen felt. While I acknowledge all the flaws of the new trilogy, I still really enjoy them - I wanted to just watch the beginning battle sequence of Revenge of the Sith the other day and I ended up watching the whole thing. It's just a damn compelling space opera, full of drama and urgency, and the http://www.overthinkingit.com/2010/01/28/clone-wars-irony/ that all this is essentially a sham war designed to whittle down the Jedi, and that all the clone troopers the Jedi are such good pals with eventually become the iron fist of the Empire adds a layer of pathos to the whole thing. The old trilogy has a different, almost minimalist feel to it that is brilliant in its own way (the whole Death Star trench run sequence is still freaking amazing, with no caveats) but for me it doesn't as a whole have the force of nostalgia behind it.

EDIT: Phantom Menace is, however, genuinely just not very good. Probably the only good thing about it (aside from John Williams' music as usual) is the final lightsaber battle.

I wished this month would just end---monday is payday and that means I get to take a trip to my local Toys'R'Us and finally get my Millennium Falcon out of layaway...gawd this thing is going to be sweet, even cooler I'm going to order Dash Rendar's Outrider and I all ready have Slave 1 so next month is going to be awesome .

I almost bought a storm trooper riding a guar in the box at the flea market this morning. It was like 10 dollars.

I bought Gothic 3 for a dollar and then someone sold me Tribunal for a dollar and it came with Morrowind in the Tribunal box.

I bought a few SW figures including Lando Carissian, Nib Nub (Lando's co-pilot in RotJ) a Falcon Crew member, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Clone Wars), Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars), Qui-Gon Booze---uh---Jinn, Yoda and R2-D2 plus I have some other figures I've had for some time.

As for Morrowind---I bought the GotY edition for Pc that come with both Bloodmoon and Tribunal...I've had these for a long time.
