Sorry about yesterday. I left my account open and my wife posted something about me hating star wars, totally her bad. I do love SW. Thoughts?

Me too.

Can you believe it? Some Wanker yesterday, in this very forum, said that Star Wars sucks. Horrible people do exist.

It's a messed up world.

It's really an awful thread. Sorry, TH.

tsk tsk tsk.

*Insert wookkie growl here*

I dont think i ever understood the popularity of star wars, but i was told that it was based off a "Western" type plot....is there any truth to this?

To me, it's the Jedi/Sith Good/evil thing. To show that anyone can fall from grace like Annie did.

It's an adaption of sorts of a Japanese movie from the late 50's, 'The Hidden Fortress'. Of course all the mythology is new, but the basic plot of it and character templates are all there. Good film, too.

1. Adaptation is incorrect, as it's already a film.

2. Even if it were a written story, George Lucas acknowledges it's influence.

3. It was only A New Hope.

4. "All the Mythology" is sort of an absurd thing to post, don't you think? Isn't that...kind of....a similar story in a different universe with a different background and characters but with a similarity with lowly people resucing a princess? You could say, by your logic, that the Rapunzel tale influenced "The Hidden Fortress", or any story in which a princess is rescued from evil clutches.

5. Film was rated 100% by Rotten Tomatoes.

http://au.rottentomatoes.com/m/1009583-hidden_fortress/





But, we all know how off Rotten Tomatoes can be. I don't even trust it, anymore.



6. Then there's the other six films that can't be explained with The Hidden Fortress' plot. (I am only aware of six other feature-length, theater released, films, off the top of my head.)

7. It is far and away NOT a crime or unkosher to be influenced by anything.



So, basically, I disagree with most of your post, other than George Lucas indicating in a DVD commentary that he was influenced by The Hidden Fortress for A New Hope.

I'm not referring to the literal setting of the films. I'm referring to the actual time in the real world the movies were released.


And, also, my post, in context, in no way can be interpretted as a war flick as it says "post-WWII".

And the movie isn't a war flick, it occurs in the aftermath of a battle.

You do know what Adaptation means right, because from the context as to which you used it just leads me to believe you do not.

ANH is Star Wars. When it was released, that was it's name, that was what it was called, not sure if you knew that. And that's what I was referring to: Star Wars. Not ESB. I even used this argument to back up why 'Empire' is the best SW film (because it's totally original etc.).

Mythology as in Star Wars Mythology you thick ****, as in The Force, Aliens, etc., not whatever shit you were thinking of. I meant all the SW mythology was new. Jesus Shit.

Seriously... DDD... you misunderstood everything I posted there. So basically you wasted all that smartassing time for something totally redundant. That's how sad your life is, man. You can't even comprehend posts that you try and denounce. All I was doing was noting it's massive influence on the basic plot of Star Wars, not mocking it or anything, you dim bastard. I'm probably a bigger SW fan than you anyway, so I take care in what I say since blasphemy against SW is totally unforgivable. As is sickening idiocy like your comprehension of my post, may I add.

God damn I edited that a lot.

Also, If you don't understand why the large text proves you wrong, I can always offer a full explanation in layman's terms to assist you. I'm really not trying to be rude here but I honestly doubt you'll get it.

You said it's not an adaption because it's already a film, but that's what the term constitutes my good sir, taking an existing piece of work and then altering or removing points from the key source in order to create a work similar to that of the original, so in effect no it would be an adaption because it was derived from an earlier work that was used as a basis for that particular story, although it is not an accurate adaption, you claimed it was not one at all because this Japanese movie was already a movie that came out before star wars ergo star wars would be an adaptation since it took source material from a previous work as it's inspiration and created a film based on that and I'm sure an algorithm of other movies.

Maybe I misinterpreted where you are coming from I don't really know oh but one thing.

Don't try and talk down to me I won't take any of it. I really don't care for your smartassness.

I suggest you rethink your attitude towards people.

You are neither old enough, nor is that "definition" applied to ANH anymore since it was given the name "ANH" in 1981, just five years after the original release.


Also, among Star Wars fans, ANH, Episode IV, EpIV, or "A New Hope", are the common names or titles given to the film in written discussion. In a verbal discussion, it is referred to as "A New Hope."

It can be assumed from your post that you were quite directly referring to ANH in your post (it's called context), however, citing the other 6 films as further evidence against your claim of it being like "Hidden Fortress" was my passive aggressive way of calling attention to your error of calling it just "Star Wars", considering it's official title hasn't been just "Star Wars" in 28 years. It was just a way that I could make another numbered point against your post. I just wanted more points and this particular point worked quite well.

Forgive me for not having read all of your posts. Had I read all of your posts, I would have known that (Seriously, I'm that creepy. Just ask Bardock42). However, it still would not have changed me getting an indirect dig in on your newbish reference to it as just "Star Wars."

This is exactly what I was referring to as well. It is quite obvious from what I typed.

But, really, I'm at work, nothing to do, because no computers are broken. Is it a sin, in your book, to post at work with there's nothing to do?

Also, you should probably not resort to personal attacks. If you cannot take apart my points, then you shouldn't immaturely resort to "Well, so! You're a doodoohead!"

Sure, if you want to argue the point of 'adaptation" in that light, fine. However, you failed to realize the point of "adaptation" that I was referring to. In context with FILMS, adaption almost always refers to the movement of written work to film. The story is largely intact, as well, in film adaptations.

If it is not largely intact, it does not qualify as a film adaptation, but simply "influenced".


When discussing films, it would be rather strange or out of place to refer to a film adaption as anything other than that, a "film adaption."

Originally posted by Neo Darkhalen

You did misinterpret. In fact, one step further, it would appear that you were not aware of what the definition of adaptation meant when it came to films.


They even have an academy aware for best film adaption. Despite how awesome ANH was, it wasn't nominated for best film adaptation for a reason: it wasn't one.

That will never happen. Not even when I run for public office.

I do have a suggestion for you, though:


Don't butt your heads into conversations that you don't understand, especially if you initial "butt-in" post is diminutive in nature. Furthermore, don't then reply with "butthurt" because the person defended themselves with your very own post.

Since I don't mean any of that, I could care less. I hope you butt into future conversations of mine, especially if you feel that I have erred. Chances are, I have not, and it gives me the opportunity to further solidfy a point when someone brings to the table a fresh perspective on an incorrect idea. The other side of that: I could very well be wrong and I certainly hate arguing for the wrong side of things. It's a win win, really, for me.

But in regards I understand where you are coming from, as I said I misinterpreted your comment, however it wasn't so much as that I didn't know what adaptation means, more in the fact how you worded your post.

I do thank you for toning down though in this last post, if only you could have adressed me like this before.

But in regards I understand where you are coming from, as I said I misinterpreted your comment, however it wasn't so much as that I didn't know what adaptation means, more in the fact how you worded your post.

For this very same reason, I was confused as to why you would reply with that long description of "adaptation" that you did. I didn't think there was any interpretation to what "adaptation" was after I pointed out the exact meaning and..

When referring to a film, "adaptation" always means how I referred to it. Any other use would be incorrect or awkward.

I read your last 2 points, I am very tired right now so I'll read the rest of them when I can get a chance, I apologise for being unnecessarily overly aggressive over things though and I guess a little arrogant as well.

We cool? oh and haermm me a nice guy I don't think so haha!

Glad we could agree on the first part though haha

And, you don't know what I troll is if you think what I did was trolling.


If someone told you Star Craft is a port of Metroid 2 to PC, you'd disagree with them on several levels, wouldn't you?

i was joking.

i put you on ignore because i didnt want to see your old signature. it creeped me out.

Oh. Lol You must understand, people cry "troll" much too often here. Myself included.



Yeah, I'm into horror and gore horror.


I vowed to remove that sig if anyone complained, beause I know that not everyone would tolerate that sig. I was hoping that it would just be distrubing to some, but not distrubing enough to ask me to remove it. I had one poster PM me, and I removed it, which I had decided I would do if anyone asked.

Both and neither.


Once you reach a certain point of maturity, you realize being that uptight is ACTUALLY immature and unhealthy. Realizing that too much seriousness or too much focus can result in many superficial relationships, undue stress, superficial respect, and backstabbing because you're an a**hole or you creep people out; you have an epiphany and realize the importance of letting loose, acting immature for immaturity's sake, and that better company can be had through a more humorous perspective.



However, at the same time, there is a line, and it is very ambiguous, as it ranges from person to person. Some people become annoyed when most others would kick back and shoot the shit with you. Still, some others may think that it's not enough immaturity and that you need to let loose.


I fall under the "bewbiez are da bestest" category, meaning I am extremely immature at times. I have a knack for knowing when to be immature and when not to be, even if that "knack" is being immature for the sole purpose of deriving entertainment out of those who think being an a**hole is best personality course of action to take.

Maturity doesn't equal being uptight. If you believe that, you may have matured incorrectly. That can happen, you know.

Well, that's very untrue. Being mature doesn't always generate a negative outcome. Why would you say something so illogical? Oh, dadudemon. I'm disappointed.

Also, being a troll doesn't make you healthy. You see, dadudemon, an excess of anything is bad. This includes letting loose. You have to know where the deep end is with that kind of thing.





It doesn't seem like you're aware of that line at times. I'm really not trying to insult you but you and I both personally know that you can cross the line.




Well, immaturity is childish. Psychologically, it means you may have difficulties mentally evolving. That's what's unhealthy.

I wish you luck, though. It may be possible that one day you will see that trolling doesn't translate to humor or letting loose. It's just another way to initiate trouble and, if you're doing that, you're effectively being someone you complained about: An a**hole.

I made a big ass brown baby boy with my ******* earlier. It cried. I flushed it.

my girlfriend tried telling me that i have nut stink. I don't know what she's talking about. i've fermented these babies to a senses paralyzing aroma for a full week now. I guess she just don't appreciate the finer things.

I dont think i ever understood the popularity of star wars, but i was told that it was based off a "Western" type plot....is there any truth to this?
It's based on/inspired by Akira Kurosawa's 'Hidden Fortress'. Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai' was used as an inspiration for the western classic 'The Magnificent Seven', so that probably got you confused. Funnily 'Hidden Fortress' is a comedy.

Indeed, which is why being a baby, throwing fits, and being an a**hole are things I called the actual immature actions. Indeed, lightening up, letting loose, and the like, are very healthy mental outlooks. So says my behavioral psychiatrist.

Considering you don't "know" what trolling is...your sentence is rubbish.

You basically said everything I said, in a different way, accused me of doing exactly what you're doing, and directly talked down to me. Sounds like trolling.


Now, correcting someone for a post they made is far from trolling, especially when it was done respectfully without insult. That same poster responded with a "**** you", which would be against the forum rules and could be considered trolling.

Which is exactly what you're trying to do.

The opposite. In a board full of Star Wars fanboys and movie lovers would see my post as accurate, or correct. Being an a**hole would be responding with a **** you or doing exactly what you're doing.

Regardless whether you meant what you just said, or just making excuses, the wording in your initial post (about maturity) was a bit off, leaving of lot of room for misinterpretation.

You said ''Once you reach a certain point of maturity, you realize being that uptight is ACTUALLY immature and unhealthy.'', did you not?

Which could easily be (mis)interpreted as you saying maturity equals being uptight.

So, who won the saber duel, Mace or Sidious?

Tough call. I've never been able to say exactly since both sides of the argument has merit. At first view, Mace dominated Sidious, but then there's the idea that maybe Sidious was just holding back or even just letting Mace beat him so he'd be in the right position for Anakin to step in, save him, and complete his fall. And stuff. That's the most likely scenario.

The book has Mace as the clear winner.







In the end, both sides have merit, but the audio commentary from George Lucas says that "mace won fair and square."







Many people still debate the fight, though. I am fairly positive that Mace won. I bring it up because this is a good thread to, and many still debate this point. It has become the PT's version of "who shot first? Greedo or Han?"

It has become the PT's version of "who shot first? Greedo or Han?" Yeah, perhaps, but I've really started not trusting what Lucas says anymore. Changing history to make Greedo shoot first, then later on back the "Han shot first" side? He doesn't even know his own universe, really.

I'm not a huge PT fan anyway, so I don't think too much about it.

And, yes, as TGF pointed out, it all comes down to "original intent". GL isn't as rabid about his films as say, his fans are.
