What? To germany?

Not to think about Alec Guiness as Obi-Wan Kenobi doing saltos like his younger beeing or even Count Dooku did. I don´t think that people wanted to see such kind of martial arts-like lightsaber-fights. Todays movies are just cut so fast that you like to watch something which is a bit slower like the old lightsaber-duells between Vader and either Obi-Wan or Luke. And as a star wars-fan you expect such a kind of fight and not a Matrix-style.

Yes, indeed we have, Tex, indeed!

That would be fine. Maybe we will meet some day on a GC-server. Unfortunately there will be just First Strike for BF2142 and to be honest, I don´t like the screenies up till now. If you want to download GC you can also download this new map, which was released just yesterday I´m downloading it right now and it´s a podracer-map.

Thank you guys! And here´s another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYcl7t9GgQQ Yesterday we had a match just with knifes. Later we decided to use bazookas and pistols instead. It was really funny.

Again something I´ve made by myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvxkOu9BkhI Sorry for double-post. Otherwise if nobody else replies...

Germany belongs to the axis of evil It´s allways a bit shocking to watch something like that. But you allways have to keep in mind, that they allways take persons who fit into their scheme. These persons who knew nearly everything would have been cut out. Wasn´t there Tex at the end of that video? @Tofu The first vid is funny. Allthough it may be posted here thousand times.

Yes, JH, they are indeed very impressive. Because you just can really recognise them when you are up in the air in a plane. That´s fascinating and kinda odd.

I totally agree! Once you see him walking with his stick like an old man and the other second he makes high jumps and saltos. That wasn´t just unbelievable to watch it was also rediculous. All people laughed in the cinema as they saw that. http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/4656/yodatag11rmhl7.gif Thats just something Lucas liked to do because he was able by the help of ILMs computers. When I think back at the Yoda-Puppet in "TESB", that looked much realer than these animated ones. Allthough you are able to do some FX by the help of computers, you shouldn´t do that everytime, Mr. Lucas. When I watch the lightsaber-fights in the old trilogy they lack the agility of course. But they are still very dramatic.

What I did at that mission was just to put all energy to the drive and forget about shooting. If you`re fast enough they even can´t hit you anymore. And never put your cannons on autofire in that mission. Otherwise both turrets of the freighter will shoot and the probe-droid is destroyed.

Lol! That looks like a must to watch this movie.

As far as I can remember its that mission I had to wait really long until it succeeded because of Aeron took so long. So use your jedi-powers and be patient.

Looks like you´re doing everything that younglings think they have to do. Thank god I´ve left these times behind me.

Oh yeah, I can remember that mission. Either you haven´t installed all of the patches or you´ve just waited not long enough. Sometimes a mission in XWA just takes a lot of time until any other involved character has completed his own mission. If you´re really good in destroying all enemy figthers, you might be too fast for the game and just have to wait a couple of minutes untill the mission is finally over.

Delete all cookies and try it again.

I once saw somebody having an epileptic-shock because of drinking too much water. Wasn´t that nice to watch!

I guess he saw Mads big vodka-bottle.

No, Tex, unfortunately I allways missed that movie when it was on TV, but I got to watch it now after you´ve mentioned that. Another thing which isn´t that logical is why just Threepio got a mindwipe while Artoo didn´t. Allthough an astrodroid isn´t able to talk to humans without any help from translation-computers or Protocoldroids, there might be still a danger that somebody was aware of where this droid came from and to whom it belonged. Or it could´ve just told it to Threepio in a kind of smalltalk, "... and btw, Anakin Skywalker turned into Darth Vader and he has a son and a daughter, who is now under protection of Senator Organa. I know you don´t remember that, so don´t tell anybody you crappy piece of golden junk.":mrgreen: ...and, ahh, yeah, gunslinging! Why isn´t any whip used in Star Wars? Ahh, yes, they needed it for Indiana Jones. But I can remeber that there was a female character in a 80s comic, who fought against Luke with a whip. She was a cyborg and maybe even a sith. I can´t remember that anymore. Got to find that comic again. Maybe somebody else of our oldtimers can remember that.

Wow, I bought them when they were released in september and they all cost about 18.00 Euros. That´s about 20.00 Dollars isn´t it.

Why Yoda went into exile still isn´t logical for me. He managed once to infiltrate Coruscant and nearly finished Sidious. He could have fought him together with Obi Wan. Vader wouldn´t be that powerful at that time as he did become later. So if Yoda and Kenobi first killed Vader together, killing Sidious would have been also to manage. Isn´t it one of the main-duties of a Jedi to hunt down the Sith? So they´ve just decided to hide in their places on the a.. in the space, grow old and maybe senile (Yoda ) and getting weaker every day. While Sidious and Vader can build up a galaxy-wide empire without any disturbance. Like turtle I´ve never read one of these novels and I´m not sure if I ever will. I´m looking for explanations of things that happened in the movies. So what belongs to Boba, I see that in the way the movies were made. You´ve got a character and you´ve got another one which is a clone of the first. So if the first one made other experiences than the second isn´t that important for the plot itself. If you got two characters who should be identical than they should act the same. And there are stories in the "Wookiepedia" which tell about clones who had got memories of Jango, which is unlogical too. Like just mentioned, you can´t clone memories. But if those people of Lucasfilm or whoever tells the story that way, Jango should have used a blaster-rifle too. And besides these two blaster-pistols he used in the movies just looked like, hm, uhm, girly girly!?

Warms up a old threat This is a secret vid I´ve found of Mads friend filmed on their legendary sylvester-party. http://www.isnichwahr.de/redirect21116.html

When you watch all of the six Star Wars movies, than you find out some things they did in the prequell trilogy which didn't fit to the classic one and aren´t logical nor they weren't explained in any of these movies. For example, why has Yoda go into an exile? Just because he didn´t defeated Sidious/Palplatine? He could have helped the rebellion or the opposition like Luke later did. After nearly all jedis were killed he should train new jedis. But instead of that he went off and lived on a swampy unknown little planet and left the whole galaxy to the sith. Doesn´t sound really logical, isn´t it. Than we have Leia who mentioned in "The Return of the Jedi" that she has memories of her deceased mother aka Padme Amidala-Skywalker. But as we all could see was that Padme died right after the birth of Luke and Leia. Leia was a baby there and allthough she has jedi-powers within her, even she can´t remember things they´d happen at her birth. Another example is the story about Jango and Boba Fett. Boba is an identical clone of Jango. While Jango used to fight with two Blaster-Pistols, Boba prefers to use a sawn-off Blaster-Rifle. Maybe it was more common to fight with pistols in the days of the old republic. But if you have got genes of a gunslinger than you would use that too. In the "Clone Wars" movies you can even see a clone-comander who prefers fighting with a pistol the same way that Jango did. Allthough he isn´t a 1:1 clone of him. So why doesn´t Boba fight like that?

Has anybody purchased these DVDs? How do you feel about it?

The Christ Redeemer Statue in Rio? The Statue of Liberty in New York?? Well these statues are impressive, but they aren´t a wonder. Because even the old greeks made statues which were bigger. The collossus of Rhodos for example. And I agree with Krytos about the Sydney Opera House. It´s a cool bit of architecture, but it´s not a wonder like the pyramide. A wonder should be something of which you still ask yourself how they´d managed to build that in their time.
