I'm just watching the StarWars documentary on Sky One.


I'm starting to feel The Force....


Getting rather excited.

Anyone have any good StarWars memories/trivia/likes?

Nah...

None of the recent films have done anything for me whatsoever. Revenge of the Sith is no different so far, despite the extent to which it's been hyped up.

I would imagine it's cool to see the bits you've always wondered about since A New Hope, but for the most part the newer films lack the charm and the feel of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi (which was, IMO, actually a bit crap compared to the other two).

I thought "Attack of the Clones" was great.

The reviews of the latest one are very good aren't they?

That may be a good sign.

Afterall, The Usual Suspects got slated when it first came out, and that's an amazing film!

I was massively disappointed with the Phantom Menace (nothing was good about this film, other than its name which reminds me of nasty post-curry farts) It was so over hyped, and we had waited for so long.

So with Clones I went along expecting it to be total shite,

and I actually quite liked it first time.

However, after watching it again on DVD, I realised

it was shite.

So expect Sith to be bollox, and you might not be disappointed.

i loved star wars figures. i had them all. and every vehicle. i worked so hard to get them all. and my mum threw them away.

also, one of my strongest memories was that they smelled great when you first opened them. no, only me then? >slopes off...<

The Empire Strikes Back is the only one I ever feel inclined to pop into the DVD tray....


I think that Jedi was a great film too. Ok the Ewoks sucked, but it had some great sequences ( Jabbas palace, Speeder bikes, final space battle, Darth wasting the Emperor.)

It often gets lambasted as the worst of the originals, but nothing made me laugh more than seeing those ewoks being fried by Imperial Lasers.

Plus C3p0 got ripped to bits, so what more can you ask for...

Oh, and there was Leia's outfit too.

hey heres a thing that just occurred to me... why did it actually have to be Anthony Daniels in the threepio suit? couldn't anyone have played the physical part, whilst he just did the voice? I'm guessing that they had to record his lines later anyway cos the acoustics inside that suit would be terrible. seems unnecessarily cruel, doncha think? not that I'm judging

of course, i think its great that chewy is still peter mayhew. that makes perfect sense. hrrroooonk
