elTee Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Ebay Madness Ok, we all know that some of the stuff that goes on Ebay is wierd, wonderful and expensive. This one takes the cake for OBSESSIVENESS. Whats the bet some geek collected this all his childhood, and now he's gone off to University his brother is selling it on? Its ridiculous. How many versions of Star Wars are there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercatfat Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 That collection is worthless, seems as how there's no copy of the Star Wars Christmas Special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 I wonder if that will ever be released publicly by LucasFilm. I would like to see it as some supplemental feature on a future DVD Star Wars box set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztev Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Man that Christmas Special is bad. So very bad. Han Solo, Wookie Hugging Fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien426 Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 I downloaded the Boba Fett cartoon from Kazaa. Even though it's considered to be the highlight of the Special it's bad. I don't even try to get the whole show anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztev Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Hey, this reminds me, in Galactic Battlegrounds I was interested to see that there was a small loosely based bit on the Star Wars Christmas Special. The Wookie Hero is a guy called Attichitcuk, which it lists in the info section as Chewbaccas father and his grandson as Lumpy. And Han Solo nicknames Attichitcuk, Itchy, which is all from the Christmas Special. I read some where that George Lucas said he'd destory every copy of that if he could.

mercatfat Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 "I read some where that George Lucas said he'd destory every copy of that if he could." It's always great to see that George Lucas has such high quality standards when it comes to the Star Wars saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmatz Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 BACK ON TOPIC: I have a feeling he's gotten to the point where he realized: Episode I: blah Episode II: so-so Maybe he thinks that after Episode III (which is the LAST HOPE) that a lot of people will lose interest, and at this time is the peak time to sell sell sell.

manny_c444 Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I thought Episode 2 was very impressive. I consider an equal of the original trilogy...sure it had some bad lines (Samuel L. Jackson's lines in particular were terrible), but the other star wars did too. There isn't a Han Solo like character in the prequels, but then again Harrison Ford is one of a kind, and replacing or trying to recreate his charm would be foolish. Episode 2 got back on track by giving screen time to its best actors (Christopher Lee, Obi Wan), and IMO fleshing out a star wars movie that really captured the feel of the first three. Plus it had plenty of memorable moments....and Jango Fett's head was sliced of too, thats a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztev Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I agree. The one complaint everyone seems to agree on is the dialogue wasn't that great in Episode II. There was some bad dialogue and there was some useless dialogue, i.e. there was no need for them to say something it could be just shown (that last point was made to me by someone else, I never picked that up personally, I found myself just enjoying the movie throughout). And like you said, there's some dodgy dialogue in the first trilogy. But there's also some great classic lines. And someone like Harrison Ford can deliver even crap lines like a total champion, and make it really good. "Laugh it up, fuzzball." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Yeah, but who watches Star Wars films for the dialogue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manny_c444 Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Me. I love the whole emperor encounter in the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Yeah, but you just go round contradicting anything that anyone says. So I'll ignore that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manny_c444 Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 You've got to admit though...the emperor is awesome. I hope Emperor P. is more evil in the next one, so we can here the evil laugh and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 I think they left it too late. I would have thought that by the end of Episode II the Emperor would be a helluva lot more evil. In part 3 now, he has to go from goody-two-shoes to evilest guy in the universe, and bring anakin with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
