spoilers are all over the place.

I knew I feel to the dark side and red about most of the movie all ready....

Someone posted this vid to Usenet a few days back which was full of spoilers. It was called Star Wars : A New Hope.

Apparently Anakin has a kid, turns bad and kills off loads of the jedi! :eek:



Seriously though HIG Spoilers for stuff like that or I will be forced to hurt you.

My only question is this: What happened to the old hope?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Who are you, and how do you claim to be a Star Wars fan? Liking every single one of the changes to the original trilogy, including the random dinosaurs added to Mos Eisley, and liking Jar Jar Binks? What's wrong with you?

I personally liked Jar-Jar. Although he didn't contribute much to the story, he lightened up many situations and is quite funny in his own right.

Too slapstick for my tastes. I guess the problem was that a New Hope took itself seriously from the top, JarJar was too light hearted for the context of the movie.

Look at the main Alien from the Original Star Wars, Chewbacca. Yes, he was a tall bearded man in a rug. Yes, he managed to be a major character in 3 movies without saying a word, and yes, he would have ripped Jarjar's intestines out within minutes of meeting him, as long as he didn't beat Han to shooting first.

I'm not peeved as much by Greedo's shooting first as I am about the fact that he missed at near point blank.  I mean he has about a full minute to set the shot up, he already has his weapon drawn and pointed in Solo's general direction (I think), and he obviously plans to fire.  Oh yeah, he's sitting about a meter away and keeps his weapon drawn the whole time.  Then when the big moment comes he totally fudges up.  I mean, what the hell was he aiming for, Han's ear? Did he simply start to doze off as they were finishing their conversation?  Whhyyyyyyyyyyyy....

His crossbow was the dumbest weapon ever. The Wookies deserved to be enslaved by the Empire for their obnoxious stupidity.

Either it was a warning shot, he had serious vision problems, or Lucas is a retard. Take your pick, or as many as you want.

Thing is, Chewie was comic relief in a lot of ways, the 'Tarzan' Yodel etc, but he could still lift a StormTrooper bodily out of an AT-ST. If your going to have comic relief in a fight, at least have it 8ft Tall and capable of unscrewing your head ;)

Edit : Oh, and I don't doubt that the Space Battle around Kashyyk is going to be a screamer ;)

I hope lots of Wookies are brutally slaughtered by the ruthless Clone Army, and that we get to see the survivors put in shackles and made to do the back-breaking manual labor from sunrise to sunset that they deserve. :yes:

Because if the Wookies win, then we have to send someone to assasinate George Lucas.

Aren't wookies supposed to live for something like 200 years? I seem to recall Chewie being mentioned for this film?

I hope not, but if so, please please please, can we have a 'Chewie disembowels first' scene wth Jarjar ;)
