Guest Rogue 9 Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 I supose, I just couldn't take the thought of them using NT for something as important as StarWars...lets post the navies opinion Essentially, one of the US Navy ships became unusable due to an NT system crash. NT was unable to divide by zero at one point, crashing everything, and making all remote consoles dead on the ship. Glad they weren't under fire. Here is a short article which indicates that the Navy is not happy with Microsoft. One paragraph: "There are shareware products that have better groupware features than those of Microsoft products, he said, drawing applause from the audience." ("He" is Undersecretary of the Navy Jerry MacArthur Hultin.) I'm pretty sure people know where my OS loyalties lie now.

edlib Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Hee Hee! More good publcity for Billy G. and his "ultra-reliable" OS. Like I said, I read that article (or whatever it was) a few years back at a time when I knew almost zilch about computers. I just wanted to know how ILM did the CGI effects, but I did pick up on the fact that it was a variant of another OS. There was probibly a sentence in there that said something like "... unlike Windows NT..." and that's what I was associating with, since Windows was a name I recognized more than UNIX.

Guest garyah99 Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 I suppose it could have been worse; they could have called it Star Wars Episode II: Jar-Jar Strikes Back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Or how 'bout : "The Return Of The Jar-Jar"! I was thinking about it though, when you consider Lucas' main influence on this series, those cheesy Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon serials from the 30's and 40's, this title is right in that style. So are the others. Star Wars was always meant to be an update of those early reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sceltor Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 It could have been The Menace Strikes Back or something along those lines. The name isn't the greatest, but it could be much, much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Beastie Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Y'know, this is almost the exact same outcry we heard when Ep I was revealed as The Phantom Menace. We're not gonna hear the end of this until Ep III ends its run, are we? ------------------ It's like I always say: When the going gets tough, the tough . . . switch to artillery.

Makes me want to puke. It must be the dumbest, -insert bad and negative words here- , lowest thing I've ever read for a title.... reminds me of that movie: "Attack Of The Mutant Zombie Flesh Eating Chickens From Mars" that title actually being better. <font size=1> [This message has been edited by Jem (edited August 07, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyan Farlander Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 LISTEN UP PEOPLE. If you do into that theater thinking it's going to suck, you are NOT going to enjoy it, no matter what. Just keep an open mind about the film! Don't cheat yourself out of something that could be really enjoyable for you. You now what? I don't think the title is all that bad. It's certainly no worse than any of the others. "The Empire Strikes Back" is just as stupid-sounding, if you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jem Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Title says it all, damn movie will suck... Really I can't imagine myself saying: "Damn, Attack of the clones sure was great", doesn't sound right. pfff. I still can't believe it! it really does sound like a title for Tim Burton to work on, he should take over lucas's film: After "Edward scissor hands" and "Planet of the Apes" here comes another queer and trilling story: "Attack of the Clones" <font size=1> [This message has been edited by Jem (edited August 07, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Odin Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Well I'm happy to see that people remember the saying don't judge a book by it's cover. Don't Judge a movie by it's title.

K_Kinnison Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Actaully, ESB was originally going to be titled "REvenge of the Jedi" but they found out Paramount was going to be releasing a movie called "The Revenge of Kahn" Paramount found out, and they BOTH changed the name of the movies to: The Return of the Jedi THe Wrath of Kahn.

Guest Rogue3 Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Well the title does SUX! but I agree with rogue9 Blue Harvest and such, but still we should keep an open mind about all this, who knows it could still be a good movie. Just in case its not I have some Nukes we could use......just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fondas Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 At first, I though that this was just a wild rumormade up by fans...until I bothered to visit starwars.com Admit it, the title is ridiculous ! Let's just hope that Lucas kids' contribution to the film will restrain to just that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not need to remember this. I can judge a book entirely by looking at it's cover. You see, I have x-ray vision, very rapid eye movements, and an unbelievably fast and high-capacity brain. Therefore, I can simply look at the cover of a book, and confine the entire text to memory in a matter of seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jabba The Hunt Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Look i dont care what u say that title sux big time, ive read the script for the new film (the force.net had a script they had worked out or something from avaliable information) anyway, it sound ok, but not brilliant and now they bring out this name i cant believe it!!! ------------------ "Its Going down his leg i think we are going to have to amputate.
