View Full Version : Star Wars!!!!!!!! Star Wars!!!!!!!! NiceCarsBud 05-23-2005, 04:59 PM -Josh- 05-23-2005, 05:40 PM I like them. Cyprus106 05-23-2005, 06:03 PM ^ werd josh. You don't have to be a nerd. And dood... out of all the living things you could have criticized in the movie(s), you chose the badass little green dood? The whole movie is FILLED with little creature things. They're everywhere in every shape and form. It's this huge galaxy with a few thousand planets and 3X that many creatures. And you're bitching cuz ONE is 400 years old. You jealous bastard n00b! Mustangman25 05-23-2005, 06:20 PM Just curious as to whether or not you've seen the other 5 films...the story is a bit complicated, but not really that bad if you've seen the others... eversio11 05-24-2005, 12:11 AM You make very valid points in your argument. Let us take a look at them: 1) the story, to you, is overly complicated, so you find it boring 2) you have a problem with the fact that it has a 400 year old made-up creature that is experienced in a fake form of fighting, and you think that it is unrealistic? 3) it has a guy in a black suit, that after being badly hurt, has a breathing problem (which you find is.. also unrealistic?) 4) Ferrari cars rule Yep, you've got a solid argument there. Great film review. Tony Stewart Fan 05-24-2005, 09:50 AM I think they're great films and definitely changed the way action films were made back in the 70s. MBTN 05-24-2005, 10:05 AM Story is complicated? It's about the life/death & rise/fall of a character (anakin/vader). Wow, tough to follow. In even EASIER terms, it's the epic battle of good vs. evil. Damn, this shit is TOUGH! :rolleyes: Gotti 05-24-2005, 12:38 PM I'm not a big fan of star wars... i'd rather watch it than do nothing but you sound like a 10 year old. If you think its too complicated, i think you belong in some kind of remedial class. The storyline is interesting, and the action is good Who wants to bet this kid is under 13? NiceCarsBud 05-24-2005, 01:13 PM lol! good one gotti, you think im 10 eh? think again ******* NiceCarsBud 05-24-2005, 01:16 PM okay, you all critisize me for what i've said, but i dont take it back coz u all sound like a bunch of nerds to me Gotti 05-25-2005, 02:11 PM okay, you all critisize me for what i've said, but i dont take it back coz u all sound like a bunch of nerds to me HAHAHA.... post a picture of yourself, i bet your more nerdy than me. You're just a retard if you think star wars is too complicated, and thats coming from somebody who missed an average 250 classes a year in high school and it took me 5 and a 1/2 years to graduate. I'm the farthest thing from a nerd there is NiceCarsBud 05-25-2005, 02:20 PM i eat babies The Third One 05-25-2005, 02:20 PM you know,i kinda like it but why all the hate? fredjacksonsan 05-26-2005, 10:39 AM I think they're good also, and Lucas started the industry on its way to the current level of special effects. I haven't seen the movie yet, but.... As far as the complication, it IS a simple story about how Anakin becomes Darth. BUT with all the behind the scenes political manipulation by the future Emperor in I and II, I can see how it might be seen as complicated if you dive into the plot a bit. -Davo 05-27-2005, 12:22 AM I think star wars sucks, it has a boring story (and complicated) and basically a geeks/nerds film. I mean, who has a 400 year old thing, who is an experienced jedi (yoda) and a guy in a black suit (that darth guy) who sounds like he has a breathing problem? What a crappy film, i rate it 1/10. p.s. ferrari rules! And I piss on ford, whats your point? fredjacksonsan 05-27-2005, 08:26 AM I think star wars sucks, it has a boring story (and complicated) and basically a geeks/nerds film.

What a crappy film, i rate it 1/10. p.s. ferrari rules! Did you see it? If it's so crappy, why did you bother? If you didn't see it, you can't comment.

What a crappy film, i rate it 1/10. p.s. ferrari rules! LOL, 12 year olds are funny. Ok, here's my rant: 1. If you can't understand the plot or story by the end of the 6th film, your I.Q. is questionable. 2. Stating "it's basically a geeks/nerds film" without giving a justifiable reason negates any credibility you MAY have had (as does saying "geek/nerd" in itself). By saying this, you are basically implying that anyone who does enjoy these films falls into this category of stereotype. Way to make friends. 3. The point of the movie is it is 1. FICTION 2. SCIENCE-FICTION 3. NOT REAL. Having Yoda in such a movie is completely acceptable. In fact, Yoda is one of the best (and noteable) movie characters that comes to my mind. 4. "what a crappy film" Right...that's why it has made so much money (50 million for the midnight showing of episode III anyone?) over the years, as well as continues to do so. Not only that, but you again label something outright without supporting it with anything substantial. You want us to take you seriously? Think when you post something attacking something that is so greatly accepted instead of exhibiting complete ignorance on the subject, as you have done here. Toksin 05-29-2005, 12:38 AM NiceCarsBud, please, kindly, for the sake of all of us and our sanity. FUCK OFF Ssom 05-29-2005, 12:55 AM NiceCarsBud, please, kindly, for the sake of all of us and our sanity. FUCK OFF Flaming is not tolerated at AF, please refrain from it in the future. Thanks Management. fredjacksonsan 05-31-2005, 09:02 AM Flaming is not tolerated at AF, please refrain from it in the future. Thanks Management. :owned: :lol: Knifeblade_03 06-02-2005, 08:12 PM Not worthy you are, think I. -Davo 06-03-2005, 04:35 AM confused, I am. Knifeblade_03 06-03-2005, 05:36 AM Think I, dark is the force within him. goldz28 06-03-2005, 05:41 AM I thought the film summed up the story real nice. I would watch it again in a heart beat. The force is with you always fredjacksonsan 06-03-2005, 08:03 AM Saw it yesterday in a 1/2 full theater, plenty of room on all sides. :D Good movie, tied it all together very nicely. :thumbsup: spaminator 06-05-2005, 02:51 AM I'm going to watch it again tomorrow. hey nicecarsbud, let me ask you one question. Do you read any books? or do you consider anyone who does that nerdy also. To me this sounds exactly like, "High school trying to be cool to impress other 'popular' people" bullshit Rally Sport 06-05-2005, 03:43 AM I wanna go see it again too but im not because im waiting for Batman, and Fantastic 4 when they come out. 240NIZ 06-08-2005, 02:51 PM Liked them all, I think Empire Strikes Back was the best. HighOctaneNOSUser 06-08-2005, 06:58 PM I think star wars sucks, it has a boring story (and complicated) and basically a geeks/nerds film. I mean, who has a 400 year old thing, who is an experienced jedi (yoda) and a guy in a black suit (that darth guy) who sounds like he has a breathing problem? What a crappy film, i rate it 1/10. p.s. ferrari rules! *Heavy Breathing, rhaspy, almost* Star wars kicks ass and you've got the worst arguement ever stated. I mean, A boring story. C'mon! I mean, there was too much action, too many fight scenes and too many lightsaber duels to recount them all. Even the name, Star WARS tells you something. This movie is far from boring. this is like, the opposite of boring. You must find romances to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Who has a 400 year old thing? Yeah. Good point there. That'd be 800 years old. (Yeah I'm a half nerd) And Yoda is great, I mean, sure he talks backwards, and sounds like kermit the frog but hey. I mean, the wisdom, has he, is greater than your Iq will ever be. Rhymes, that does. Hehe, I laugh. Dark guy who has a breathing problem? At least their's a story behind his problems. If you wanna diss someone, diss grevious. What the hell is his story. Anyway, Vader has a breathing problem because: He had his arm chopped off. He had both legs chopped off. He had his other arm chopped off He was set afire by burning hot magma. Yeah I'm pretty sure anyone lucky enough to live through that has a bit of a breathing problem... A crappy film? I think not. A) It revolutionised film and action film making B) It revolutionised special effects C) I'm sure Lucas, the bagillionaire, doesn't think of it as a crappy film. And I'm sure the reason it has a mini cult chasing after every film, collectable and even costumes imaginable, is that it is a crappy film. Again, ask multi bagillionaire Lucas what he thinks of such a crappy film. Yes ferrari does rule, but what relevance does that have to the situation at hand? Stupid 10 year old n00bs. Also, some might call me a geek. But half of my family is obsessed with Star Wars, so I must defend the great films honor by finishing this n00b off. Rally Sport 06-09-2005, 12:49 AM :owned: Knifeblade_03 06-09-2005, 01:20 AM The only thing I do wish Lucas would have done was to start at the earlier episodes and advance from there. Would have been better continuity, but then I imagine he didn't think it would all take off so well as it did. Rally Sport 06-09-2005, 05:08 AM The only thing I do wish Lucas would have done was to start at the earlier episodes and advance from there. Would have been better continuity, but then I imagine he didn't think it would all take off so well as it did. I really dont care because whatever he did or didnt do he finished it with this movie. Also I dont think Darth Maul would've had a double cool looking lightsaber like he does if Lucas made it earlier. I just wish that they would remake the 4-6 episodes. spaminator 06-09-2005, 07:45 AM they should definently NOT remake the old ones. I admit that the special effects are not that great as compared to today's standards, but the entire saga would be ruined in my opinion. Its better off how it is right now Knifeblade_03 06-09-2005, 12:31 PM The force, think I, has confused become. LOL twospirits 06-09-2005, 01:33 PM NiceCarsBud, please, kindly, for the sake of all of us and our sanity. FUCK OFF which you replied... Flaming is not tolerated at AF, please refrain from it in the future. Thanks Management. Which I reply... He is management, prepare to be assimulated.... http://santafemods.com/images/Other/ModBans/BanxSsom.jpg We are the Mods, Resistance is Futile..... Oh wait, thats another movie.. my bad. :grinno: As for the original poster, :chair: TS out (saying, "We are the Mods, resistance is futile") fifth_gear 06-09-2005, 03:56 PM I really like all the Star Wars movies. lamehonda 06-10-2005, 01:47 AM Don't like the movies myself. The old movies were alright, but I can't stand the actors in the new onesl Knifeblade_03 06-16-2005, 08:14 AM Mind you, for the most part I liked a lot of Episode III. That's not stopping the snarkage though..... Nor my admittedly critical assessment of this moneymaker for Lucas :tongue: Yes, we've established that Anakin is a hotshot pilot. But we're expected to believe he's good enough to take *half* of a broken battleship-sized craft though atmosphere, though reentry, (with hot plasma venting though the various holes in the side), and manage to do a belly landing on a strip without everything on the ship becoming road pizza at best? (And we'll ignore all the damage and death that landing caused, much less when the other half of that ship fell) Since when did R2D2 become the swiss army knife of droids? And why didn't he have all those nifty neato accessories in Episode IV though VI ?? Did someone on the Tantive IV look over him and go "Whoa. An astromech droid doesn't need all that"?? With romantic dialog like that, I can see why Lucas is still unmarried. No, seriously, watching Anakin and Padme's "I wuv you DIS MUCH" dialog was like watching the mating dance of Care Bears. Why didn't they go straight to "Snookems" and "Snugglebug"?? Lucas needs to have his fingers broken, if not removed, if he ever tries to write a line of romantic dialog again. And couldn't Padme have grown a spine when she found out she was preggers? Padme: "Anakin, I'm pregnant. Don't worry, I went and told the Jedi Council everything, including about our secret marriage. They'll let you take a leave from the order. Isn't this great? We don't have to hide anymore!" Anakin: "Whaaa......" Bad way to arrest suspected Sith Lord - Leave angsty Jedi who reported the Sith behind because you don't trust him, further making him feel isolated from the order. Despite the fact that suspected sith lord has major secular powers, do not post guards at the Jedi Temple or get younglings and other noncombatants to safety. Get four Jedi Masters to go into office, announce arrest. Have sith lord become ping-pong ball, take down two masters almost immediately. Have sith lord take down Jedi porn star Kit Fisto soon afterwards. Have long set-destroying battle between remaining master and sith lord. Have angsty Jedi show up against orders, have long debate with you on the Jedi way. Get betrayed by angsty Jedi, tossed out window. Good way to arrest suspected Sith Lord - Bring angsty Jedi with you as part of a major strike team, (10 or more knights, masters, even talented padawans) against suspected sith lord, thereby reinforcing sense of teamwork and togetherness. Make sure noncombatants get to safety in case arrest attempt fails. Keep the lightsabers on belts, use armor and modern weapons instead. Open door, blast in window, toss in a great many stun grenades, along with enough stun fire to make him sleep until next year. Search unconsious body, find holdout sith lightsaber, forge restraints on him, heavily sedate him, bring sith lord to trial. Since the Jedi seem to not only be arrogant, but have the collective IQ of aquarium gravel, they use option one instead. Anakin: "What have I done? I betrayed the Order and everything I was taught". Sidious: "Yep. Want to become my new apprentice". Anakin: "Sure! Sounds like a great idea". None of the Jedi in the temple seem to have any interest in getting the younglings to safety when Anakin/Vader shows up with the troopers and procedes to clean house. Nor do they broadcast a message to all other Jedis along the lines of "Temple being attacked, Anakin Skywalker has betrayed us and is leading attack, along with republic troops. Seek shelter, do not come in contact with republic troops. Assume shoot to kill orders against Jedi." Also, didn't anyone stop to check just what orders all those clone troopers were being programmed with? After all, you have this sudden appearance of clones that were supposely commissioned by a no- longer alive Jedi, and nobody in the order or republic seems to know about them? Wouldn't it have been a good idea at some point to check their education and programming in case there's any "easter eggs" you should be aware of? Jedi: "About these clones. Can we go over their programming and any pre-set orders?" Cloners: "Certainly. We have order 15, which dictates camp sanitary procedures. And then there's order 23, regarding the cooking and eating of hot dogs on friday. There's order 47, the ewok extermination order, and order 53, self-preservation cancelation protocols. Oh, and there's order 66, which causes the troopers to hunt down and kill all Jedi." Jedi: "Umm, we don't really need either 47 or 66. Can we remove those orders and reprogram them?" Cloners: "Certainly sir, will delete those orders immediately from the clones being created and trained. And issue the post- hypnotic command to the remaining clone troopers on the field to delete said orders. Padme's just been told that Anakin has turned to the dark side, and slaughtered many in the Jedi temple, including children. So what does she do? Go off to try and reason with him. How about, oh, getting yourself and your unborm children to safety. After they are born, *then* you can worry about trying to save him. Yep, too stupid to live. Meanwhile, Yoda, despite the fact that Sidious has already shown an ability to take out up to four Jedi masters at a time, goes off to confront him personally. The resulting free-for-all destroys a good chunk of the senate chambers, but doesn't change anything. "Big brass ones Yoda has, yes. Thinks take out Sith lord alone he can, hmmm?." Was I the only person in the theatre that was looking at Anakin's freshly organic-limb-removed torso and thinking about an entirely different movie? "Come back here you coward! Fight like a man! I'll bite your limbs off!!" Gee, hasn't Galactic medical science ever heard of debriding burn wounds?? You know, removing the dead burned skin to keep it from causing infection? Or even dunking him in a vat of bacta long enough to let the skin regenerate, *before* staplegunning the new limbs on? Then there's the new twins. "So, what are we going to do with Luke and Leia". "Well, me and the missus, we've always wanted to adopt a little girl. So I'll just take the girl." "Well, what about the boy then?" "Not my problem old chap. Can't you find a biological relative or something to pawn him off on?" "Yeah, sure, we can do that." Result, Leia goes off and gets trained as a statesperson, princess, and leader. While Luke gets to rot on a moisture farm. Which reminds me, Vader also seems to have the Jedi IQ of rock salt. Putting tabs on his relatives on Tattooine would have been a good idea, or even put a flag in the imperial database for the last name "Skywalker". "Lord Vader, the imperial census has just been taken, and a flag came up demanding your attention. Planet of Tattooine, child by the name of Luke Skywalker. Records show that he's in the care of his Aunt and Uncle, an Owen and Beru." "Thank you, I will look into this matter personally." Even if he thought the children died with Padme, wouldn't *anyone* have thought that flagging his original name would have been a good idea? Obi-Wan doesn't seem to take the suggestion to hide very well. At least in terms of the fact that he's still dressing like a Jedi by Episode IV. Hello, cluebat anyone?? Wandering around dressed like the members of a disgraced order wanted as enemies of the state isn't the brightest move in the book, even if you are on planet BFE. Not to mention the fact he aged 40 or so years between Episode III and IV. Either he really wasn't using an effective sunblock, or those weekends in Mos Eisely doing lines of meth and boffing Jawa hookers finally caught up to him. twospirits 06-16-2005, 12:58 PM :lol: Well so much for me going to see the movie. You wrote about everything. :lol: TS out (getting popcorn to read this again) Knifeblade_03 06-16-2005, 09:34 PM Ah, sorry TS, didn't mean to spoil the flick for anyone, just my crtique of it, sigh, LOL. Knifeblade_03 06-19-2005, 09:38 AM At least we all got to see Carrie Fisher in her bikini in the disjointed, non-following episode with Jabba. twospirits 06-19-2005, 10:55 PM Well I finally went to see the flick. I liked it and even though I basically knew what was happening, there was this one scene that totally left me with my mouth open. The fight scenes were a bit fast. actually the whole damn film was fast. He could have split the thing up into two seperate films as long as it was. I have to admit what Knifeblade wrote above about R2D2 being the swiss army knife of droids is so true. :lol: TS out J_Swigz 06-20-2005, 03:26 AM A friend of mine mentioned this to me and I thought it would have been hilarious: How would George Lucas be able to piss everyone off? "We must separate the Triplets for their own safety" Roll Credit. :lol2: Knifeblade_03 06-20-2005, 09:04 AM SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH, that's the plot for the next movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fredjacksonsan 06-20-2005, 09:09 AM Heh.... Check this out: http://www.storewars.org/flash/index.html Great parody. Knifeblade_03 06-20-2005, 09:39 AM Werd, that was cool!!!!!!!!! The force, think I, is gaining, hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm???? twospirits 06-20-2005, 11:01 AM :lol: Obi 1 canoli, Princess Lettuce, Darth Tater :lol: Great stuff. TS out fredjacksonsan 06-20-2005, 11:13 AM Darth Tater: He's more chemical then vegetable, now, twisted and Evil. Knifeblade_03 06-20-2005, 07:40 PM I still like broccoli as a veggie.
