Lada Laika Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 for having never watched an entire star wars movie i've read far too many pages of wookiepedia Once you start you can’t stop and before you know it you’re reading articles about Infinity Gates and empires that fell 35,000 years before Luke Skywalker was born.

auxien Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 for having never watched an entire star wars movie i've read far too many pages of wookiepedia I've seen the Family Guy and Robot Chicken takes on the original trilogy far more than I've actually seen the real films.

Blir Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I've never been the biggest SW fan, but I keep up with it. New Hope and Empire are great, Jedi is half shit and the prequels are pants. to be honest I find the Auralnauts remakes of the Star Wars films to be the best thing that's come out of the entire franchise. If you've not seen any of them you're really missing out. They take material of the films, including cut material and re-edit/redub them with very funny and entertaining results, remaking the Jedi to be drugged out space douchebags for example. They're so effective that it breaks my brain, especially with Creepio, the megalomaniacal psychotic version of C3PO. It's probably worth watching the second one first as that's when they seemed to figure out how to properly do it; you might be a bit put off by the first episode as it's not as funny as the rest. Anyway check them out. II, III, IV are brilliant, the others are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got into some crazy wormholes binge reading that at a computer lab proctor desk job I had back in 2007. One of my first avatars here was the obscure character BoShek, the smuggler who talks to Obi-Wan briefly at Mos Eisley. Actor wasn't even identified until 2016.

Lada Laika Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Amazing *bumping electronic music* OBI WAN (offscreen) Check this out! CUT TO: Obi Wan flying into a railing and collapsing on the floor. The bass battle with Jango was also choice, as was the dance battle at the end of Revenge of the Sith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 There only ever were specific aspects of Star Wars that I admired in its 40+ year life span as a franchise. Never did fanboi it as a whole. The best things to come out of it were the original Dark Forces and gonks.Dark Forces was legit, but I have fond memories of the Zahn trilogy too. Also Episode I birthed that rad pod racing game. I really liked the Jango Fett game on PS2, that was one of the first widescreen games I owned. And of course Rogue Leader was tits.

The best part of that game was flying around the various environments shooting everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
