Well, I had to talk about my OTHER love really. The new trailer for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith has been made available at www.starwars.com - and I suggest you watch the large sized version. I am one of those who thoroughly enjoyed the last two at the time - though I find Episode I a bit of a chore to watch these days. Episode II is still absolutely fantastic, and I am excited that Episode III is not far away. The release of Episode II was especially nice because that's the day I met my g/f! Not at Star Wars mind... just later at our university gig, both blind drunk (and in my case, high on the Force!) So, anyway, any other Star Wars fans here? Do you know your Bib Fortunas from your Nien Numbs? Or am I alone on this one?

Once I noticed that James Earl Jones was in the credits for Episode III, I knew I was going to like it. There's nothing I want to see more in the new Star Wars movie more then the return of the real sith, Darth Vader.

I just got back from work where we were watching episodes IV and V (I work at Blockbuster). We discussed how even though the new movies aren't as good as the old ones, they're still Star Wars and still fun.
Anyway, we also talked about Star Wars video games. My favorite is Shadows of the Empire. How about everyone else?

SotE is my most fondly remembered, but that's mainly because it was so unstable that you could spend hours playing with the glitches alone! But my favourite Star Wars game still has to be the original Rogue Squadron. Episode I Racer is pretty damn good too. Almost puts F-Zero and Extreme-G to shame.

Hey, have you also seen the trailer for Episode III: The Computer Game? SPOILER ALERT:
You get to see a glimpse of Anakin kicking Samuel L Jackson's butt with force lightning!

Why does this computer not have Quicktime? I have to watch the damned trailer!!! It's funny this topic should be here the same day I had a conversation about Star Wars (the first one in ages). We talked about a lot of things, but mainly it revolved around the following question (see if you can answer it!): Who is the only non-Jedi, non-Sith character to ever use a light saber in the whole series? Come on people, it's easy.
According to comments on the Internet from people that have seen the unfinished version, it will be the thrid best in the series, after episodes V and IV. To me that's a lot. I really enjoyed episodes VI and II,

If you ignore the fact that Luke wasn't a Jedi when he started using it then the answer is good ol' Han Solo. To tear open the guts of a Tauntaun of course!

If you ignore the fact that Luke wasn't a Jedi when he started using it then the answer is good ol' Han Solo. To tear open the guts of a Tauntaun of course! Congratulations. You have just won the title of Only Jedi Master In Earth. The price? You have to walk, talk and act like a Wookie for the rest of your life. Or an Ewok. Whatever suits you. Was in this site where I saw someone awarding someone else something but only at the price of the other person acting like a Pianta? I finally saw the trailer. It kicked so much ass. When it was like 1/4 on its way to being finished and the only thing to be seen or heard was Obi-Wan I started to get a bit pissed off, but I shouted in thrill when I saw the Wookies or heard James Earl Jones's voice. Now I can't stop humming the damn theme song...

I'd have to go for Ewok. Not so much of a strain on my vocal cords... and I'd be so CUTE! Besides... Ewok talk is very similar to Professor E. Gadd talk, so no-one will be able to tell the difference Yabbo-yabbo chup-chup!
