Time to catch up with things long overdue

It's also one of the most awesome lines of the entire series.

My favourite Star Wars film is Revenge of the Sith but then again I don't have all that burdensome '80's nostalgia like most people do.

Edit: swapped almost for also

 

Huh? Why is this cheesy then? Can we move on to the avatars for Wobbler, Wayne or Grakelin? This bickering only makes it worse.

 

I like some nice Tubular Bells as much as the next man.

It was a joke, and a very obvious one at that. Simmer down.

In terms of cheesiness, I think we all know the worst Star Wars dialogue is this.

 

I never noticed that line before. Cheesy indeed, if by cheesy you mean trite and meaningless. Lucas, like Arthur C Clarke, clearly went mad with power or, more precisely, senile with celebrity.

Anyway, if that movie taught us anything it's that people can suddenly and for no reason become absolutely evil. Therefore I retract my offer of universal harmony and suggest you all fight like dogs for your avatars.

Ps. It also taught us to squeeze all of the missing pieces of a plot into the last five minutes with no sense of reason or accountability. Therefore, I vote everyone gets an avatar based on random google images. Mwahahaha! ABSOLUTE POWER!!!

 

Jeez ytzk, obviously the best place to hide Luke is on Anakin's home planet - he'd never look for him there. I swear some people...

 

The prequels was the worst thing that could have happened to Star Wars. The kung-fu fighting sucks and nothing makes sense. The only thing Lucas wanted with those movies was to make more money, and in that regard he succeeded.

Also, liking the old movies doesn't have to have anything to do with 80s nostalgia; the story and how it's told is good, if not great. The prequels? Not so much. I enjoyed them when I was twelve. Try watching them again, you'll laugh your ass off at the forced romance, backwards scripting, illogical reactions and so on and so forth.

Can't we give Arthgon an avatar of Darth Mauls face with a bone through his nose, Sulik style? Or maybe of Jarjar Binks. I could be ok with that.

 

That's the least of the stupidities.

Apart from the meaningless cameo of Chewbacca, Yoda's turning around at the very last possible moment and saying, "Oh, btw, I've discovered the afterlife and now we can be force ghosts suddenly, lol" was beyond stupid.

What the hell? Did Lucas film and edit the entire trilogy before he remembered to plan ahead, and then throw that together at the last minute?

I've been around video production my entire life. Many many times, ever since I was a child, I have thought, "what these dedicated professionals really need is a child to tell them what a shit job they're doing before it's too late."

Well, despite the dozen odd director's cuts, it's too late now. Utter shit.

 

I'll actually go on the record and say I don't think The Phantom Menace is that bad, as long as you look at it with the perspective that it is ultimately a kid's film. The only thing that really bothers me about the film, even taking Jarjar Binks into consideration, is Jake Lloyd's acting; it is the worst thing about the Star Wars franchise by far. It certainly a lot more entertaining than a lot of kid's films recently - what other U or General rated film can you see with someone being stabbed through the chest? It reminds me of how Princess Mononoke is a PG.

That being said Attack of the Clones is utter shit; even though it has Christopher Lee in a prominent role as Count (Ha!) Dooku, the romantic dialogue is the most appalling I've ever heard and makes the film entirely irredeemable.

Back on track, I think Jarjar Binks is a great suggestion for Arthgon - it fits him to a T.

 

Jar Jar Binks, because?

 

Because of his awkward grasp of the english language and his inadvertent foolishness at times, I'd say. It's a similar idea to Borat but with less connotations of incest.

 

And Darth Maul, because?

 

You shouldn't discuss your own avatar. We've told you this over and over again. Pay attention.

 

Is it that movie where arrows slice humans in a half and animals eat people like it's not big deal?
LOL Murrika.

 

Yep, people's arms also get sliced off and wolves threaten to crush and crunch up people's heads. It's really quite graphic for its rating.

 

One wonders what sort of guidance the parents would be giving...

"Mummy, I'm fucked up for life now."

"That's nice, sweetie, now you'll fit right in to the rest of society."

 

My thoughts exactly. It's pretty severe considering it ranks with the likes of Toy Story or Casper.

 

Are the rest of the prequels kids films as well?

He kills ki...Younglings and then burns up. Screaming.

But that's episode III, the dark one! Sorry 'bout that. Could you just remind me, why was it supposed to be so dark? Isn't Star Wars supposed to be for the entire family?

Going back to episode I then. I guess those sessions in the senate when they discuss taxation and politics, that's some real adventurous kids stuff right there. These movies suffer from such a total loss of identity that it's embarassing.

BACK TO AVATARS

Jar Jar or Darth Maul with a bone through his nose, portrayed like Arthgons current picture of Sulik. That'd kick ass. As for a fitting title? An actual Jar Jar quote: "I Spake!"

My suggestion, then:

"I Spake!"

with a cropped, resized version of this

 

Personally I thought this was a bit in a kid's film that was more for the adults - real wars are usually mired in disputes such as this and though it isn't particularly "exciting" I guess it is an accurate portrayal of what can become the seed of war. I didn't think it dwelt overly long on the whole trade dispute aspect anyway, it's more there for background.

For an avatar for Jar Jar Binks, I came up with this:



Apparently GIMP is a very useful way of resizing images without losing quality, though because it's free it's probably riddled with spyware.

 

I like this one more. It somehow portrays Arthgon more acurately.
