This is pretty good...and funny.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

For some reason, there is a running of all three original episodes of Star Wars on Spike. I started watching at Episode VI because there is nothing much else to do right now. It made me think of a couple of things that are of no consequence but crossed my mind:

1. How come the Shuttle Tiderium that Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie are flying and trying to land on the moon that the new battle station is orbiting couldn't just land on the "dark side of the moon"(LOL)? I mean the shield generator is on the moon, pointing the shield around the orbiting space station not the entire moon as well. So, they land on the opposite side. Trek across the surface and blow the shield generator.

2. When Oola (or click here for a Google search) is resisting Jabba the Hutt right before he drops her in the Rancor Pit, she flashes a boob. Yes, folks, Star Wars flashes a boob. It's a green one and it's very, very quick but it's there. Slow mo it. You'll see it.

3. How come Luke or Darth Vader don't use the force push? In Episode II and III, I think Obi Wan and Anakin used the force push often. Did Anakin forget how to use it when he became Darth Vader? He could use the force pull like when he's throwing and pulling shit in Cloud City when fighting Luke for the first time but he can't push!?

4. How hot was Carrie Fisher in this movie. I mean that slave girl outfit. Damn! Now she looks like a sure-fire manly lesbian like Kathleen Turner!

5. Why didn't Darth Vader get pissed off that the Emperor wanted Luke to kill him and "take his father's place by [his] side"? My master turns on me like that after all the bidding I've done for him, I can tell you I'd be thinking about #1 and kill that mo-fo first!

I guess that's all I have for now. I'm still watching the show so I'd better get back to "enjoying" it instead of nitpicking it.

Star Wars Dancing with the Stars

Just found this over at YouTube. This, for me, would be alone worth the trip to Disney. Well, not now since I've seen it but it would have been cool!

StarWars.com

I'm a huge, geeky Star Wars fan(atic). Yes, I admit it. I loved it as a kid. I love it now. I am stoked that my kiddos love it too!

But...

I joined the starwars.com e-news letter years and years ago back when talk of Episode I was coming to fruition. I maintained my reading enjoyment with each installment of the newsletter. I am pretty much done with it now that all the prequels have been made and I believe there is pretty much nothing worth noting about Star Wars these days.

I mean I enjoy reading the books that are coming out although I don't like that these people who are writing them are killing off the core characters from Episodes IV, V and VI. You just don't mess with Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, C3PO or R2D2. I know they can't live forever -- well the human(oid)s anyway -- but you don't kill them off during battles or shit like that.

Anyway, I bring this up because I still get these e-newsletters and they contain a little less worthy content than when the prequels were being made but I'm wondering what the hell for are they sending this shit out?

I don't think they are weekly like they used to be...maybe monthly now or biweekly or random. Who knows? I stopped paying complete attention.

Oh well! Chalk that up to another meaningless, random thought!


By the way...I did read something in the latest e-newsletter that directed me to this link..."The Official Star Wars Blog".

Star Wars Exhibit

The family and I went to the Star Wars exhibit at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and Natural History. It was pretty cool although I think it could have been a lot better since it is STAR WARS. I think what made it worth it though was that it WAS Star Wars.

Here are a few pics:

Master Yoda

The ever-wise, powerful in the Force Yoda. He sits on top of my computer monitor on my desk at home. He watches over my domain and protects it with the Force.

Failed I have. In exile I must go!

More Revenge of the Geeks

Just a quick blog for all the Force seekers out there who don't need a reminder but are going to get one anyway...

STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH!!

Premiers in 4 more days!

Later!

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

I don't have a lot of time to type since I am still at work but I just wanted to say... Two more weeks for...

STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH!!

Man, I sure hope this movie doesn't bite! "Phantom" and "Clones" were good movies but I think Lucas put too much into the CG instead of making a great quality movie. The story lines were thin as well. It may be just that I'm an oldie fan and used to quality and style of episodes IV, V, and VI.

I'm still confused about how ALL of the Jedi were killed - except for Obi-Wan and Yoda - when there was a whole temple of trained and untrained Jedi. I mean I know some were still pretty wet behind the ears but wouldn't you think ten good Jedi are just as good if not a little better than one great Jedi. And Mace Windu, he's supposed to be an expert...master Jedi. WTF happened to him?

I guess I'm just wondering too soon about "how" and not being fulfilled by the assumptive answer before seeing the movie. Hopefully, this movie will calm my Jedi instincts and remove my doubt so I don't veer towards the dark side!

Peace!
