OT: So who's looking forward to AOTC?
Anyway, honestly, how could he die in that beast? cmon, the sarlac didn't chew him or anything, and it's stated it takes years for the monster to... huh, I don't have the english word, but you know what I mean. So the guy is in the sarlac stomach, he has his armor which probably provides him with air and stuff, and he has a whole array of weaponary along with it. Will he sit down and wait to die? Don't think so. If he unloads his lasers in the stomach, the sarlac will die. then it's just a matter of time for bobba to crawl out. The other guys, if they can get some air somehow, could even survive too.
SCREW CANON!

In "Tales from Jabba's Palace" if I remember correctly gives a damn good story of how he got out. It all takes place with him inside. And you're right, it does take along time for the Sarlaac to digest someone, hence there is the first person to fall into the sarlaac still alive, deranged, and willing to strike up a little chit chat with Boba. Well, as we all know Boba isn't much of a talker and you can pritty much guess what happens. Yes, his armor did infact protect him somewhat from the digestive acids, but he still got horribly scared afterwards, crawling out of the pit with nothing but his helmet on. If I remember correctly he tore the sarlaac a new hole through which he got out.  

I consider the books/comics/games seperate from the movies. So when I read the books or comics, I believe that Boba is alive, cause they say so (not to mention that I believe that he deserves to survive as well). But when I watch the movies, I belive he died.

Much like the mods of FS. I doubt anyone who makes them tries to make them coencide with everyother one that comes out? So its more of a What If? universe for me, the comics/books/games.

Also on the title of this movie... Attack of the Clones... Hmmm, I know I was in shock when I heard it too. I laughed. But then I realised that I did the same for The Phantom Menace. Now that I've gotten used to that title its not so bad. As I look at the movies now as a whole, you could in fact think that they are no longer movie titles. But in fact chapter/episode titles. Which they are. Star Wars is the actual title. The others are just chapter titles. So they don't really have to be spectacular, just informative and gives the basic gist of what's going to happen in the chapter. So the third movie's gonna be probably called "Fall of the Jedi" or something. Just to give the basic idea what's going to happen. I'm happy they aren't titles like "The One Where Anakin turns Bad" or "Two Siths Are Better than One"  
I have returned... Again...

  It's like saying that only people with blond hair and blue eyes can become Jedi.
I think somebody has some rethinking to do on that aspect of the story *hint hint nudge nudge*
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

AMEN!!! Sheesh - how corny could Lucas make it??

Personally, Ep1 was cool the first time, but rapidly grew cornier by the rerun. I must insert a huge applaud here for the lightsaber choreography, and the pod race was good, too. But the acting was completely emotionless, with Anakin's mother being by far the best actor of the bunch. I don't say this lightly, either - I know what kind of acting can come from people such as Portman and Neeson (queeny and Qui-Gon), but in Ep1 they absolutely sucked.

However, from the trailers it looks like Ep2 has improved in that regard, so yeah, I'm gonna see it as soon as I can. :)

"...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
