Here's a tough one:
Before Darth Sidious became a sith Master, who was his master?

Darth Plagueis
I`m pretty sure that I read somewhere that he could manipulate the midiclorians to cheat death, guess it didn`t work because Sidious killed his ass...I even think he is mentioned in Episode III.

Are people still planning on seeing it at the midnight premiere? If so, where is everyone going and are we pre-ordering tickets? I'm down for whatever, I'm just curious as to who's going, when and where.

From what I have heard some people are going to the midnight showing but tickets were ordered weeks ago.

Huh. Well, I can always go solo, if need be.

Well Patrick... if you decide to go Solo... I will go Calrissian.

If you and Pone haven't gotten tix already, we could always go ahead and order some for Arundel Mills for the midnight showing. Then we would have Solo, Calrissian and Assclown.

I believe that the Arundel Mills midnight show is probably sold out. I think I remember hearing that Bartlett got tix for that like 3 weeks ago.
Of course that could be all rumor... there is all sorts of misinformation in the air these days.
To be honest I probably won't see it for a few weeks. Since I have a few shows and Monster Mania on the weekends. Hell, the last movie I saw in theaters was Freddy Vs. Jason.
I will probably end up seeing the Chuck Perry Special Bootleg Edition.
The question is when is The Duke seeing it? And is he kinda like Han Solo... always stroking his own wookie?

I'll probably just go see it one day after work on my way home, escape the crowds and homeboys dressed like Lando doing the Colt .45 commercial ("Yo Billy! Can I come wit chu?" Only in Baltimore....). I always pack my TEC-9 or Han Solo Blaster at Arundel Mills...straight intergalactic thuggin'. But let us not forget that the ORIGINAL Han Solo was One Nut McGee aka Dickie Willis, Former Child Star.

I am either going to Annapolis or to Rehoboth....will know by tomorrow.
Question of the day: What is Han Solo's home planet?
Bonus: In some scenes, Solo has a yellowish stripe that runs down the side of each pants leg. What is that stripe called?

Guide to Star Wars DVD Oddities and Spoofs
StarWoids
This is a documentary about the fans who waited in line for Episode I, with tons of extras. (The Special Edition coming in the fall will be a double-disc set with the entire Star Wars musical and mini docs on the Episode II and III lines.) There is a cool Easter Egg on this DVD that takes you to a screen with step-by-step instructions of how to turn your automobile into an X-wing style hotrod.
StarWoids Easter Egg:
The hidden easter egg consists of a photo-essay which provides plans to turn an average automobile into an X-Wing car. Here's how to find the hidden plans:
- From the MAIN MENU, go to the EXTRAS page
- From the EXTRAS page, go to BIOGRAPHIES
- On the BIOGRAPHIES page, highlight the name KATIE HORN (she's known as the ROGUE SQUADRON LEADER)
- On KATIE HORN'S BIOGRAPHY page, press UP and then PLAY
- You found the Easter egg! You will be treated to a photo-essay detailing precisely how Katie took her lame old auto and turned it into a mean X-Wing Car. It's really cool!
Jar Jar Binks: The F! True Hollywood Story
In the style of an E! True Hollywood Story, this mockumentary spoofs the fans’ hatred for Jar Jar after Episode I. It shows Jar Jar growing up, then getting his big showbiz break, then his descent into the dark side of drugs and hard living. It has tons of extras, including a fake George Lucas commentary. (“Special effects are just a tool to tell a story.”) There’s an Easter egg on every page; just click over and highlight Jar Jar on each menu for hidden footage.
Hardware Wars
The original Star Wars spoof has been updated with new digital effects in kind of a parody of Lucas’ updating of the original trilogy. It’s good dumb fun.
Star Wars Holiday Special
So terrible, you must see it. There’s this loose story about Chewbacca having to return to his home planet for “Life Day,” and it has the original cast from Star Wars: Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. The Star Wars cartoon is by far the best part about the special. The story is top-notch and introduces the character of Boba Fett in an adventure-filled 12 minutes. If you find it online, be sure to get the version that has the commercials still on it as there are original commercials for Kenner Star Wars toys. George is embarrassed by this and has said it will never be released, so get it any way you can.
War of the Planets
(Os Trapalhoes na Guerra dos Planetas)
This Brazilian rip off of Star Wars came out in 1978. It’s like a crappy Sid & Marty Krofft show from the ‘70s on Mexican television. It has a guy in a bad Darth Vader mask chasing these goofy characters in dune buggies.
The Man Who Saved the World (AKA "Turkish Star Wars")
(Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam)
The film was actually inducted into the B-Movie Hall of Fame. Turkish films are a little-known cult cinema and I’m not even sure if people in Turkey know they have a fan base in the United States. What the filmmakers there do is take big-budget American movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, Superman, E.T., The Exorcist, Wizard of Oz and they use all the big set pieces, special effects and action sequences and then recast the characters with Turkish actors. They're so bad, it’s hysterical. What they are doing is totally illegal by international copyright laws, but you know, Turkey is the Middle East and it’s dangerous. I can’t see the MPAA stopping them.
Star Wars Definitive Collection laser disc
I actually own a Laser Active player that plays Sega CD discs and very rare, Laser Active video games that worked using these giant discs. Anyway, this is the ONLY way to see the original trilogy as close to how it was ORIGINALLY released to theaters before the BUTCHERING of the Special Editions. Personally, I prefer restoration, not alteration. So, I’m not a fan of the Special Editions. (However, George could remake Return of the Jedi as any changes might make that better.) I think George can change the original trilogy all he wants—just make two versions available like Francis Ford Coppola has with Apocalypse Now. If you look hard on the web, some fans are converting these laser discs to DVD, so poke around, you can get it.

Vinny C-I'll order my tix this week and then we'll figure out where to meet up for the show. The premiere is Tuesday night/Wednesday morning at 12:00 a.m., correct?

Post by stallion on May 11, 2005 10:52:04 GMT -5
Ok, so I checked out Moviefone.com and there are no listings for Arundel Mills for the 12:01 premiere next Wednesday. If there are 5 theatres running the movie, I can't imagine it would have sold out. Also, what do you think the odds are of getting a quiet theater? Perhaps the Muvico people could stealthily organize something, such as having theaters for "Lando Calrissian Fans" and another for "Han Solo Fans". Or "People With Cellphones and/or Loud Voices" and "People Who Actually Paid to See the Movie." Just a thought.

Pat- You have to call Muvico to get the tickets...I went to their website several time to get tix and everytime they had only one showing listed and it was sold out...when you call they list like five showings... Thats what I did, I called them and ordered them on the phone! You can get their number from the website www.muvico.comTHIS I COMMAND |

Yeah, it has all the shows listed on the website, but they're sold out. I'll just call them today and get the tix. Thanks, Big Cat.

Nevermind, I clicked on a different time and was able to order the tickets. They have 8 friggin' theaters showing that damn movie. Guess they're expecting quite the turnout. Where should we meet up? I could just go to Arundel Mills and meet you all there around 10 or so, have a couple of drinks or something before the show.

Is anyone up to seeing Episode III again later on in the weekend? I am up for seeing it multiple times.

By the way, has anyone played the Episode III game yet? I played it last weekend and thought that it was unbelieveable.
