dinochick Posted February 24, 2005 Author Posted February 24, 2005 I also remeber reading about the "lava" in one of the OT novels. http://www.dinochick.com/dc_saber_banner_02.gif
Skynxnex Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Yes, I forgot which book exactly, but there was mention of either lava or fire. So its no surprise to me in that regard. http://img30.echo.cx/img30/2519/yodavspals4fr0gi.gif

teukros Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 I see Lucasfilm was quick to react on that spoiler link. I don't usually read the New York Post, but four days ago (Monday), this was a front pageheadline... Put an overpowered Solar Ionization Reactor in between two cheap-ass engines and a couple of laser cannon, put a chair with a rudimentary flight control and targeting computer on top, and surround the (unpressurized!) pilot with enough armor plate so he doesn't fry in a tenth of a second... riiiiiiiiight
Mad78 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 You can see that EVERYBODY is going to be interessted in the film now. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance
Trejiuvanat Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 especially in Baron Papanoida... Ugh... I never thought he'd fall that much. Now they'll have a super-duper Baron Papanoida action figure... Baron Papanoida Unleashed and why not the Baron Papanoida Roleplaying Game. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif

Trejiuvanat Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 If he had at least chosen a different name. Papanoida sounds too much like the spanish 'papanatas' which means as much as dumbass. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif
Mad78 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 In that kind of way i could tell you that "Nike" (as in the brand). Sounds alot like the french "nique" which means to have sex. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance
teukros Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 And every American schoolchild (from my generation at least) learned that naming a car Nova and then trying to sell it in Mexico wasn't such a great idea...

Lord_La_forge Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 And every American schoolchild (from my generation at least) learned that naming a car Nova and then trying to sell it in Mexico wasn't such a great idea... How come?
teukros Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Well it's actually an urban legend: http://www.snopes.com/business/misxlate/nova.asp ...but one which was related to me in high school as if it was fact; that the Chevy Nova sold poorly in Mexico because "no va" = "won't go" in Spanish.

LOL. We have some similar language bloopers too. Like Westel ( Westel Communications) almost means "you lose" in hungarian. But my favourite is "Ubi" soft. Which means small (almost cute) piece of Cucumber . Quite unprofessional name for hungarians

Trejiuvanat Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Where do you think all that Spice that Solo dumped actually went? http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif
BadSamaritan Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 ... Didn't the General Motors guys even consider that U.S cars never sell well outside because they consume too much gas... Bah, Newer US vehicles aren't worth owning. Pieces of giant, overpriced plastic. Hence the reason I own, drive, and sink way to much money into an elderly Camaro. Terrible gas mileage, but I could broadside a large truck and not worry about getting injured in it. I once knew a great man. Nothing got to him, and he always smiled. May he forever rest in peace, knowing fully well that his freinds shall remember him.
teukros Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) Where do you think all that Spice that Solo dumped actually went? I had just turned eleven years old when Star Wars came out so naturally it became the center of my Universe. I read everything "Star Wars" related I could get my hands on. One day I was browsing through a local bookstore and I noticed those two magic words on the cover of an issue of OUI magazine. So yes I was an eleven year old geek reading OUI magazine for the articles, er, article. Uhm, anyway. I read in that article that in 1972 or 1973 GL got high on qualuudes and read the entire Dune Trilogy in a single weekend! And thus, The Star Wars was born. A year later he produced a script and - needless to say - the story had undergone numerous changes. If you're a real glutton for punishment, you can read the successive scripts here.... ...here... ...and here. By 1976, the script was in pretty much its final form.

Dune was an excellent reading too. Somewhere in the forums, we had a topic with similarities between Dune and SW
teukros Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Well you've got Emperors, you've got the desert planet, you've got "spice", you've got Luke saying "Holy Maker" when he sees the Devastator firing upon the Tantive IV, and (in the final draft and IIRC in the novel) you've got Camie - Fixer's girlfriend - saying about Luke, "It (is) just Wormie on another rampage." And then there's the whole Jedi discipline = weirding way thing... I'm sure I could think of others, like Butlerian Jihad = Droid hatred...
