the crimes of george lucas ('90s on)

scariest scene by far is luke's vader hallucination where he cuts off his head... so freaky

Luke's "I am a Jedi, like my father before me"

haha i love lukes little head nod, to where darth is lay in agony, when he says this

The heroes are pretty cruel in this movie. (Luke killing that guy's pet masterblaster; Leia choking fat muppet to death) Has it ever been established in the Star Wars canon exactly why the Empire is the bad guy beyond having a ridiculous military budget?

I don't know the specifics, but I think killing Bothans probably comes into it somewhere.

didn't they destroy an entire planet?

Refusal to lower exorbitant Galactic Capital Gains Tax.

ALDERAAN... never forget

There's a line in the original Ep IV script about how the Empire are nationalising industry... Just like Obama wants to, look out America!

Emporer: "Does anyone have any questions?"
Moff Random: "Why does the fiscal budget have a deficit of thirty trillion Galactic credits?"
<Force lightning vapourises Random>
Emporer: "Does anyone have any other questions?"

jawas did alderaan

The first part of my post is actually true, by the way.

lolling

"Does anyone have any other questions?"

"Have you found Luke Skywalker yet? And do you have any knowledge of the location of the rebel base?"

"Why did you promote Mr. Bronson from Grange Hill to Admiral?"

"ALDERAAN... never forget"

Pretty harsh, true, but what else are they gonna do with a Death Star?

Turn it into a shopping mall.

What would people buy? They all wear the same thing.

A do-it-yourself midi-chlorian kit.

My sister told me it works like an insulin injection.

"ALDERAAN... never forget"

very true - that's what people never understood about nazi concentration camps

Death Star analog isn't concentration camps; it's Enola Gay.

Well it would have been if they'd won the war.

this is way too long and kind of annoying but also kind of amazing

I turned it off after 5 minutes - is there anything worth watching in the other 65

the main thing I took away from it was that this guy has an awesome voice and I wish I could speak like that

I just watched the whole thing, it's devastating - you should at least watch to the end of the first one before giving up. Found the guy's persona pretty annoying at first but came round to it pretty quickly.

haha I just gave this a second chance and now that I'm getting a sense of his attitude it is getting better (also helps by keeping it on the background while I waste time on ilx)

lool at the basement scene

amazingly funny line-for-line considering how long it is

the slashfilm article treats this like found art

How come every fucking scene in these movies involves someone standing in front of a window with a million fucking things happening in the background.

^^ this is one of those posts where, after you've read it, you can never see the movies in the same way again. So OTM it's not funny.

watching the long review - - similar to Angry Video Game Nerd it kinda drags when he's trying to be funny external to the movies....but when he's just going on and on dissecting in detail all the inane crap that adds up to the boring pointlessness of the movie, the LOLs kinda just rack up.

The Times quoted an associate of George Lucas, saying the Star Wars director will spend $10 million to update his 1977 movie into 3-D.

“George cannot leave it alone,” said the unnamed source. “He is salivating at the opportunity to play with it again. This time the Death Star is really going to explode all over the audience and leave them gasping.”

gross

explode all over the audience and leave them gasping.

He is salivating at the opportunity to play with it again.

Well, there you go.

After a few years of complying with Gallagher’s conditions, Ron began blurring the line between his act and that of his brother. He would often promote his act as “Gallagher Too,” a moniker Gallagher felt was insufficiently informative. In some instances, Ron’s act was promoted in a way that provided no clue to prospective attendees that they were seeing someone other than Gallagher himself.
Gallagher initially attempted to get his brother to stop these activities by requesting that he stop using Gallagher’s well-known Sledge-O-Matic routine. These efforts proved futile, and Ron kept touring as “Gallagher Too” (often spelled "Gallagher Two") while using the Sledge-O-Matic routine his older brother had made famous. In August 2000 Gallagher sued his brother for trademark violations and false advertising. The courts ultimately sided with Leo Gallagher, and an injunction was granted prohibiting Ron from performing any act that impersonates his brother in small clubs and venues.

Yeah, but it's Noel who really got screwed - i mean his act is nothing without the Sledge-o-Matic.

seriously will someone send Lucas a neverending stream of hookers so that he will be too tired to continue ruining the original Star Wars movies

with our luck the new 3-D Star Wars will have 3-D hookers

this 3-d version is gonna put the "oo!" in tatooine"!

makes me wonder who will carry on George's legacy of endlessly remaking Star Wars after he's gone
