Hi,

Yerssot keeps telling me that Star Wars is the end but I wonder why. I say a few of the movies and they were good. But I'm not gonna go all freaky about it.

Could you guy sand girls explain to me why you are so fond of Star Wars??

Thx

yerssot
The lightsabres! The cool special effects! (well, not Yoda in AOTC!); the great shots they make.
The acting (duel of the fates, the end duel in TPM: no doubles used!) the story! the anticipation, the rumors, the one-liners!
action, adventure, excitement!
god! the entire movie!

micky . nijs
I think I need some examples...

Lightswords yes I know them, cool thing by the way...

Good story I don't know, could be....

Call me a newbie alright, need some details

favorite scene or something like that

yerssot
ok, about the story: forget TPM, not very good story
But ANH: A farmboy with no future gets a droid that plays a message, and then a lot of things happens and suddenly he is flying an X-wing, destroying the DS! (short version)

My favorite scene?
shoot! I can't choos! Duel Of The Fates, DV in Rotj: walking down the "stairs",...

yerssot
I forgot to mention something:

Did you saw the powers of the Emperor or Vader?
Choking someone with a simple thought...
Boba Fett, JANGO Fett!
I mean ... damn!

Anyway, if you want to see SW again, drop me a line and I'll bring it with me

Dim
Okay...moving to SW area..

It was one of the good parts of growing up..BTW.

micky . nijs
Ok that's pretty cool, shoking somebody with a thought...

Pretty need...

How does star wars ends? I mean after all the x-number of stories???

yerssot
true, but all the other persons then?
SE came a bit too late to be totally in the growing up-process...

And I haven't mentioned the toys!
Belief it or not, I have the entire action figure set, well, everything that is available in Belgium

yerssot
posted at the same time smile

Well, there are six stories (pt and ot, pt is now in proces of making) it ends pretty classic sad
Vader turns to the light side and kills the emperor, ending the terror of palpatine (this is now finally certain! the name I mean) and bringing peace to the galaxy...
Luke is now the last of the Jedi

micky . nijs
The only I think is really bomfat is JAR JAR. He rulez. Me shall like that... BWUWUWUWUWU

rolling on floor laughing

that's a cool dude

on http://www.shockwave.com the Atomfilms section are movies about star wars. you should check it out

yerssot
rolling on floor laughing bomfat smile
it's bombad and there is a whole thread that is going about the meaning of it (now you know for certain: we are geeks)

Well, sorry to say this but... in AOTC, he will have a small role smile
Mesa like THAT!

(sorry, but he made it TOO childish! But for the rest, he was ok)

micky . nijs
bombad, bomfat,....
all the same.

He is the cool dude of SW!!!

You save me live, me shall thank you...

Are there other funny characters in the movies? something like JAR JAR BINKS

Because then I will laughing out loud laughing out loud laughing out loud

yerssot
well, 3PO has some good one-liners...

"I'm not sure this floor is entirly stable"
or
his "discussions" between him and R2
(if you wait a bit longer, I can give you my new site, there you'll find a lot of wavs of him)

micky . nijs
I cannot wait to see some of that
When is there gonna be that site???

Where???

Any other good characters??

yerssot
pictures are almost back (but I'll pm you with the url, spamming is prohibited here)

any other good characters????
Hello!
Darth Maul, Darth Vader...
Maul for the fighting: he has a DOUBLE lightsabre and can fence off a padawan and a master,
Vader because he is menacing to the last!

micky . nijs
Darth Maul is pretty cool to...

I like the, how you call it, peakes on his head...

Any other more funny characts??

yerssot
that are horns

it's funny, originally they were supposed to be FEATHERS, but the make-up crew misinterpretered it and made horns (have the pic here somewhere)

You got to watch R2-D2 and C-3PO, they're good!

And certainly the others vs 3PO!!!
They form the main humor squad in the ot

King Jedi
Because Star Wars represents everything that's great about movies. big grin

yerssot
here is a good one liner:
Captain: "He (Ozzle) thought surprise was more wiser..."
Vader: "He is as clumsy as he is stupid"
(Giant viewscreen, Vader gets Ozzle in front of it)
Ozzle:"Lord Vader..."
(starts to choke)
Vader: "Captain Piett, blabla (talking about landing the fleet)... you are in command now ADMIRAL Piett
(at the same time Ozzle falls dead on the floor)

micky . nijs
ok that one is very funny

cool big grin rolling on floor laughing

verry funny indeed

yerssot
there are more...

Vader: The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am

smile

yerssot
I don't think you all get this; so here it is again:

REPLY, CONVINCE THIS GUY TO BECOME A STARWARS FAN!

micky . nijs
YES, convince me....

And tell me also your favorite characs on Thread: SW POLL

Thx all


keep convincing me

mah
the films are great.
interesting story with anakin turning to darth vader
everyones favourite natalie portman eek!

jedi212guy
Everything that Han and Leia say to each other is pretty funny, unless one of them is about to be frozen in carbonite... big grin

yerssot
rolling on floor laughing yeah, the "I love you" line wasn't the best around for some fans

micky . nijs
I skip this part, to difficult for a non-sw fan

Man...
mad mad

yerssot
you only watched The Phantom Menace I suppose (=TPM)

You definatly got to watch the Old Trilogy (=OT)

jedi212guy
Watch the OT! Watch the OT!

Captain REX
I like Star Wars because of the designing and detail they put into the movie, especially for having not a lot of SFX (digital stuff, etc.). The OT ships looked really cool. For a terrific battle sequence, watch ROTJ (=Return of the Jedi) from the Original Trilogy. I always wondered how they get all the detail into those smaller models. I've seen a Y-Wing (OT) that sits in the palm of your had and looks to be as big as a school eraser or very small jawbreaker.

Plus, I like futuristic stuff. It gives me ideas for the stories I write. smile

TeCk-IcE
Just watch the movies dude!
That`s sure gonna convince ya! cool

Captain REX
Watch them or you'll fall to the dark side of fandom! big grin

jedi212guy
If you're going to post, you've GOT to see all four movies.

yerssot
Well, he's a tiny bit bussy now, I'll try to get him posting here again...

Btw, you have my url, check the sounds (not all available) and there are a lot of oneliners that are worth checking out

Ushgarak
Well, the one-liners don't make a huge amount of sense ifg you have not seen the films...

Ok, Micky, why should you see them? It's not a bad question, because they at first appear to be lightly-plotted, special effects films for kids. And to be sure, they are not the deepest films ever- but that said, they touch on themes that are very fundamnetal indeed.

What Star Wars has to offer is:

1. The most classic sort of story (heroes and villains and romance, war, betrayal and death) put into the most fabulously rich setting

2. Amazing style. The Bounty Hunters and Jedi just ooze coolness. The Force goes far beyond just being fancy telekinesis, and becomes the stylistic centre of the films, that leaves everyone saying 'I WISH I could do that!'

3. The sabre fights. This seems a bit shallow to use as a good point., After all, aren't they just re-hashed Robin Hood swordfights? But no! These things are BRILLIANT! They are either brilliant because of the amazing emotional resonance of the original three- which manage to combine vital plot development AND a good fight at once- or because they are just so brilliantly well done, as is the case in The Phantom Menace.

4. Great heroes, great villians... in fact, the characters in Star Wars are its trump card. If it fails in places it is because the character plots were weak- hence Han's weak role in ROTJ, whilst he was brilliant in ESB where his character plot was the strongest.

5. They just hang together so amazingly well. These films are about as well made as you can make them. That's is not to say they are perfect, and they have flaws- some more than others- but they are still made as well as they could have been done, by ANYONE. Say what you like about GL, he has the men for the job.

6. Princess Leia in a gold bikini...

yerssot
Well, personally I would drop that last one!

micky . nijs
ok, now I'm getting convinced, I didn't know that there were so much things in the movies that make you watch...

With wich one should I start first??

PM? or another??

yerrsot give me your collection, then I'm a huge starwars fan

yerssot
*runs upstairs*
*grabs SW videos*
*runs back*
Ow wait, you're not here!

Ok, I'll give them to you on Monday,
I think it's best to start with the OT, then TPM and then you need to wait a few months for AOTC...

micky . nijs
What??
OT? TPM?AOTC??
what the ****

I don't understand a thing...

Man, my brains are zoooming roll eyes (sarcastic)

is that normal??? confused

yerssot
It can't be your brains, you have none! stick out tongue

OT= Old Trilogy, that's A New Hope (ANH), The Empire Strickes Back (ESB) and The Return of the Jedi (RotJ)

TPM= The Phantom Menace, the Star Wars movie made in 1999

AOTC= Attack of the Clones, the new Star Wars movie that will hit the theaters on May 16 (for us that's May 17, for others WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to late: Norway, India...)

Ushgarak
Yes, strange as it may seem, Micky, starting with Episode IV (which is commonly just known as 'Star Wars') is best; watch the two sequels and then go onto The Phantom Menance

yerssot
Now he will fall to the Dark Side of the Force...
In time he will call me master evil face

Well, it would be stupid to wait for the other movies first (hi there RAF!!!!) so start with the trilogy that is out, plain logic?

mah
why?
you've got the hots for Jabba instead?

yerssot
Leia or Padme...

And admit, she was OLD

mah
don't talk bad about the 'leia in bikini at Jabbas' - scene. mad

yerssot
ok,... PADME in EPI and EPII!

micky . nijs
padme, isn't that the king of some planet in TPM?

Thought so,... Looked pretty beautifull...

Ah women,.... roll eyes (sarcastic)

some make your eyes go eek!

evil face

yerssot
Padme is a ... ... king????
Wow! That's what I call hiding!

And I'm sure your eyes will go more "eek!" if you see AOTC!

micky . nijs
why??? is it so eek! stick out tongue *horny* stick out tongue eek! ??

yerssot
You'll see... ... on May 16th...

micky . nijs
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

-"Never tell me the odds!"

Captain REX
Great site yerss! You got the pics of Shaak Ti and Kit Fisto from that link. Where are the pics I found of Lama Su and Taun We?

That would be all I quess

yerssot
I'm talking about TPM here, dudette

micky . nijs
Oh know I remember, pretty cool with the doors...

well done

yerssot
pretty cool? PRETTY COOL?

Djee! You need to watch it more! It was awesome! NO stuntdoubles!

micky . nijs
are you serious? they do saltos...

I never saw actors do that...

ok then it's cool

roll eyes (sarcastic) impossible

Ushgarak
Well, it;s worth noting that Ray Park did all the difficult stuff, which is a neat shortcut by having your leads stuntsman actually playing the bad guy.

yerssot
Btw Mich,
He can do a "lendensprong" (die sprong me uw bene zonder uw arme te gebruike) with his feet only a 40 cm in the air!

mah
is that a jump with both legs together, using the arms?

Ushgarak
Exactly what I was about to say...

yerssot
I thought he did it without his arms...

micky . nijs
I don't understand the move, but Yerss explain it again when you are standing in front of me and do the thingy,...

I'll try to do the move to...

EUhm, I thought it would never happen but I saw all the movies of SW... I don't know where to write it but I DID IT

and I'm pretty convinced

Nice work all

yerssot
Now your journey to the dark side is complete... in time... you will call me master!
(that's when queeq is not around)

If you love action, you will love EpII!

micky . nijs
EPII?? when is that one coming out???

mah
may

yerssot
17th of May in Belgium, but in countries like USA or Britain, it's on 16th of May... but if you are in NORWAY it's the 22th, not sure about India, but I thought it was around July...

micky . nijs
ok, the thingy about india?!? who wants to know....


YES I have +100 replys one of my first threads...

cool cool

yerssot
Master Harmax is from India...
and Peluffo is from Argentina that's also around July!

micky . nijs
OK, soorrry dudettes, made a mistake

somebody does care...

I'm wondering how are the cinema's in india?? the same as here?? I have absoluty no clue....

i know a stupid question but still I wanna know confused

yerssot
Hmmm... 5 years ago I read about them...

Takes a lot of time to translate them... they have a lot of dialects (500+?) and it's not like Kinepolis here!

But I think it's better to ask Harmax... I think

I wonder about SW in India... the translation and stuff

micky . nijs
I think it's pretty funcky....

don't know why, probably because I don't understand a word they are saying....

That could have something to do with it

yerssot
well, things like lightsabres with any luck they keep the translation...
if you noticed, they didn't in Dutch sad

micky . nijs
something like that........

yerssot
"lichtzwaarden"

With this translation it made it look like the sabre is just a bundle of light... stupid translation

micky . nijs
indeed, also Darth Vader

donkere vader, looks like all the others of some kind of a lamp over their head and he doesn't....

well have you ever

yerssot
laughing out loud laughing out loud laughing out loud
that's a good one!
important lesson: just listen to the English version!
Translations are all big crap!

micky . nijs
indeed, but when it is a film in German for instance, what do you do then??? Trow him away?? Because, I'm sorry German peoples, German is not my favorite language...

All to complicated...

Viva English, universal language nr Uno

wink

yerssot
Getting the English spoken version...
I'm rather sure that won't be a problem

micky . nijs
of course, but you never know... What if SW was made by people who live in Azia???? Huh?? would you have liked sw as much as now???

That's an important and stupid question

yerssot
that's a difficult one!

hmmm...

I think if it was made in Azia, the story would be totally different...
Ok, perhaps better fx but I think it will get less points from me... I don't know,... I can't put my finger on it...

micky . nijs
aha, I knew it,...

nevermind, don't watch at me, it past my bedtime...

now I know why...

yerssot
Perhaps the characters all from Azia, the droids white and the aliens black smile
that would be nice smile

micky . nijs
big grin

it would be very funny indeed, even if you only imaging....

naha naha naha

AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

man , I need my pills...

Wait 2 secs
* taking a glass of water*
* taking the blue and red pill*
* swollows it*
*puts on nasty face*

ok smokin' I'm back

yerssot
*grabs cigaret*
no smoking dudette!

Well, sorry to say so, but the Azian movies I know aren't that great

Ushgarak
Hate to be a spoilsport, but this thread has rather drifted, hasn't it?

I rather think Micky is convinced now.

bigsef2
i think we should try to get it up to 10 pages. whats the longest thread theres been, anyways?

Ushgarak
The two big ones in the GDF.

yerssot
Now THAT'S getting it offtopic...

Mich said his fav was ESB...
Did I already sent you the captain->admiral Piett wav?

micky . nijs
ni yerss, do that...

or post the link again off your website, that would be allot easier....

yerssot
Don't have it on my website, I was going to... but Skynet is down (email and ftp) so I can't put it online...

yerssot
sorry, file is too big

micky . nijs
I remembered the scene and who said it and why...

Man, I'm becoming a SW-freak....

I thought it would never happened roll eyes (sarcastic)
but hell

yerssot
Your powers are weak young man!

what's your fav thing about ESB?

Ratcat
Well, it looks like he was finally convinced.
