Belbr Ammen Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 I was about 11 years old. Still in to Arnold and Stallone blow-up everything movies, or really stupid movies starring Paulie Shore. I was living with some friends of the family for the summer. I guess finally the got tired of the movies I was watching because the sat me down on the couch and told me that they were going to show me what a real movie was like. They popped in ANH and it started playing. To be honest, I was very unimpressed with the opening music and the scrolling words (mind you I am 11 and completely hated to read anything). But as soon as I saw a Star Destroyer, I was hooked. I sat mesmerized for the next 121 minutes. When the movie was over. They asked me what I had thought of it. I immediately began to babble for a half an hour. When I was finished they told me that there were two sequels. I watch them both the very afternoon. And the next day. I watched all three again.

Darth Evad Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 No. Start with the original trilogy books. There's always stuff in there that gives a little insight into what's going on. Also read TPM. There's a good part in there where Anakin meets up with some tusken raiders. Ep. 2 spoiler . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . When you read TPM and see his interactions with the Tuskens then the Tusken scene in AotC will characterize him a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to my father today about our last name and I guess It used to be Dockter My grandfather joined the amry during the korean war and he left out the line to make it a "t" because he hated his family with a passion and didnt want to have the same last name. Guess you learn something every day:D What is the meaning of Dockter and what nationality is that? Thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 The Timothy Zahn books are great, although I've only read the comic version of them. Anyway, I enjoyed the comics so the books must be even better and of course more indepthed. A definant must read trilogy. Here's the English titles of the three Zahn Trilogy: 1. Dark Force Rising 2. Heir to the Empire 3. Last Command 'Shadows of the Empire' is also a good book, although I've only read the comic version of this one too. It's situated sometime between 'Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi'. It involves Vaders continual search for Luke, the search for Han, Rebellions investigation of Prince Xixors sincerity of offer to use his Black Sun smuggling organisation to provide them with supplies, and Prince Xixors attempts to humiliate Vader in front of the Emperor so that he can take Vaders place as Palpatines right hand.

Thanks very much! well in my country it is a very fancy name for dokter or medical guy . like my last name is Klasen, but there are many different variants of it. the fanciest is: Cleassens. but you pronounce them the same way.

Rommel Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I was a sophmore in highschool and she was a junior, we had been dating for a few months and.....oh wait your talking about my first time with star wars! LOL Saw empire strikes back IN THE THEATRE, THE ORIGINAL ONE! After that of course I and all my friends collected the toys including a millenium falcon giant thing that was like 4 x 4 feet. Wasn't until return of the jedi that I got really into the toys though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
