Darth Groovy Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Seriously folks, what the HELL is this banner add on the side of Lucasforums? This is an abomination, bastardization, degradation, *dies*
Darth Groovy Posted May 16, 2008 Author Posted May 16, 2008 Honestly, I would rather buy home made porn.
Pho3nix Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at pagead2.googlesyndication.com." It seems I've been spared of this...abomination.
Sabretooth Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I love AdBlock vewy vewy much. It saves me from the bizarre side of the Internets.
RoxStar Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I love AdBlock vewy vewy much. It saves me from the bizarre side of the Internets. Shh... those ads fund our site. Hog Wars: Connecting the World of Star Wars and Harry Potter explores the parallel experiences of characters, relationships, social structure, and storylines in the Star Wars and Harry Potter epics. Whether you are a fan of Star Wars or Harry Potter, Hog Wars will provide a renewed appreciation for your favorite, as well as a deeper respect for the other. For those who are new to both, Hog Wars will show you why these stories are among the most popular of all time! So it's more of a venn diagram?
BongoBob Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 So it's more of a venn diagram? Thank god. At first I thought it was some sort of mass produced mash-up fanfic. 30% chance of it being yaoi :|
Darth Groovy Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 I think I'm going to be sick.... :eyes3: ZOMG Darth Slayne! I love summer time, all the classic members come back! We got leXX back, Sivy B, and Darth Slayne! Let the good times roll!
TiE23 Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Honestly, I would rather make home made porn. Fixed... but not funny... Well, anyway, that's pretty creepy. Besides, it would kinda work if Voldemort was Harry's father or something. Dumbledore = Yoda/Gandalf, Hagrid = Chewbacca/Lando, Broomstick = X-Wing Yeah, not very interesting.
IG-64 Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Star Wars = Good. Harry Potter = Good. Star Wars + Harry Potter = Bad. It may be "different," but it's still uncreative, unoriginal, and exploitive. This doesn't exactly look like Kingdom Hearts. I imagine Star Wars and Harry Potter are pretty much incompatible. People need to learn to keep their fantasies to themselves.
Darth Slayne Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 ZOMG Darth Slayne! I love summer time, all the classic members come back! We got leXX back, Sivy B, and Darth Slayne! Let the good times roll! Yep, I'm still kicking, though I very nearly up and died, seeing that banner add! The rolling of good times sounds sweet to me.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Remembers me of Soul Calibur cameos... Just not as 'good'.
Sivy Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 this might have the answer to the question that been bugging me for ages!... wicket the ewok or nobby the house elf... who would win in a cage match?
Darth Slayne Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Neither! They both belong in a taxidermist’s establishment, along with Jar Jar Binks!
Mike Windu Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 http://www.lunarmoth.com/publishing.htm It's a book stating the already obvious similarities and plot devices of your standard boy grows up tale. Honestly, I don't know how this got to publishing. Neither Star Wars nor Harry Potter possesses a plot that is able to be critically analyzed for long.
leXX Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I love summer time, all the classic members come back! We got leXX back, Sivy B, and Darth Slayne! Let the good times roll! Aww, lubs ya too Grooves.
Black Knight of Keno Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 this might have the answer to the question that been bugging me for ages!... wicket the ewok or nobby the house elf... who would win in a cage match? More like who would win a Thunderdome match
Prime Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 this might have the answer to the question that been bugging me for ages!... wicket the ewok or nobby the house elf... who would win in a cage match? Does Nobby have a spear?
Sivy Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Does Nobby have a spear? no... he can levitate cakes though.
Dath Maximus Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Honestly, I would rather buy home made porn. and you will
DarthAve Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 They're just trying to market to the nerds. I can only imagine Darth Vader, ready to kill Luke on Cloud City, when in the background "RICTOSUMPRA!" lol, why do I now imagine Harry Potter as a KOTOR party member, ewww cleanse me plz. It's a book stating the already obvious similarities and plot devices of your standard boy grows up tale. IT'S THE MONOMYTH! According to my Language Arts teacher, every story ever written is exactly the same structure! If they're gonna compare these two, may as well compare LOTR and Star Wars, or Harry Potter and the tales of King Arthur! They're all the same!
Mike Windu Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Aye, there are many similarities and archetypes that are unavoidable. The difference between them is the framing and the individual writer's ability to create a world in which the characters aren't as one dimensional as their thematic skeletons. I.E. the Tolkien v. the Lucas. Granted Tolkien was too wordy for my tastes, but I acknowledge his skill. Lucas' best line - "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
