No. And I don't intend ever to watch any SW film, either.

If I don't have to run into SW stuff every moment I'm not asleep, then certainly I'll just shut the heck up. I don't think I'm interested in just 'being different'. Many people loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- so did I.

Just today morning when checking my email, an email came from beliefnet.com about the 'Religion of the Jedi'. Not again. Yeah, I like SW. I sure do.

Can't wait for Spaceballs II.

i do agree what padwe looked a bit young but did it really bother you?
Actually Padme was 14 in the original, and Anakin was 10 (or 9). If anyone wants to get narky about her age maybe you should ask why she looked so old in the first one - she was 19 was she filmed this one, and I wouldn't imagine she's going to look any different when she's actually 24 in real life (as she was supposed to be in the movie) .

I thought it was fantastic. I disagree with you Memnoch that the plot was thin. I thought the intrigue and the double-crossing was incredibly good. It had a basic plot of the assassination (I'm sure that's not a spoiler ) but what unravelled was extremely gripping imho [img]smile.gif[/img] .

And Ewan was very cool

Great point!

Be careful though, Rikard... K T Ong may just be flame-baiting you, so that he can laugh when you or someone else blow up and tell him off, thus getting into trouble with the Gen Con mods. It is not worth it.

People, people, SW is only a film. Enjoy it or dislike it as you will. Feel free to express your heartfelt opinions. Just don't get upset or bent out of shape over it. Be civil to each other or I will be forced to switch into Mod-mode - and the force I can wield makes Yoda look like a small wizened green beastie..... [img]graemlins/starwars.gif[/img]

SW is so heavily publicised everywhere (whenever a new SW film comes out, that is) that you don't have to watch the films to know what they're about, believe me. A line here from the radio, a line there from the front page of a magazine, and by-and-by you'll become an expert in the ways of the Jedi. And as I've said, I've watched 5- to 10-minute chunks of the films -- precisely just to get a better idea what this SW craze is all about.

And no, I don't flame-bait people. I'm not that kind. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I'm just giving a plain piece of my mind, that's all. Hey, at least I like Spaceballs.

Oh, and I don't mind being ignored. If no one wants to talk to me anymore, then I'll just go somewhere else. ( + shrugs shoulders) As I've said, I'm just giving a piece of my mind regarding something. Take it or leave it.

i know this has been said before, but oh well [img]smile.gif[/img]

fiction, especially science fiction, is about temporary suspension of disbelief of the things outside of our norms...like names, one of your examples...they can have funny names because...theyre not from around here [img]tongue.gif[/img]
