I'll join, as long as no-one mentions Jar-Jar (except in the same sentence as hate).

Excellent! As soon as there's a drop down list I'll pop you on it.

Yay! Thank you! So what do we do around here?

Not a lot yet! Any ideas?

BTW: sory for the delayed response - I fell asleep while channel hopping a few hours ago.

We could... debate which is better, the original or new trilogies. Or discuss the games or books or... anything really.

And I'd better step forward too. Well done for starting this up - love the homepage.

Confession - my fave SW movie is Return of the Jedi, just because I love all the monsters in Jabba's palace.

Here's a thing. Star Wars is about a farmer's boy helping to destroy the death star.

Empire Strikes Back is about the boy learning the ways of the Jedi while his friends are betrayed.

Return of the Jedi is about the boy confronting the villain while his friends batle to destroy the second death star.

Now, I'm honestly trying hard here. I've seen each film in the new trilogy twice and I can't even tell you what they're about, aside from the birth of Vader.

Cool! We're a trilogy!

I think my favourite is still Empire - it's got so much more meat than Star Wars and a complete lack of small furry teddy bears, though at the time Jedi was my fave.

I know what you mean about Eps 1 - 3 but, after watching them in on sitting (I finally bought them all last week) I found the gradual change from the political focus to the Vader bit quite compelling.

My main problem with the recent ones is that they look a bit, er, saturated. The only comparison I can make is to overcompressing a mix (yep, guilty as charged). Also, large chunks of them look like they were constructed with a computer game in mind (the conveyor belt in Ep2 anyone?)

I think we need a thread for this sort of thing...

*dashes off to find the GuideML for a drop-down members box*

Drop down list done (but the text has vanished, being black on black.)

Pop your username and U number here...

Sorry about that one - just testing.

There's a new sign up thread, so this one's now a tad redundant.
