Rebels would never get space craft anyways.

And a fallen Jedi like Darth Vader that is very strong in Ep 4 would not turn back so easily to the good side after just a few chit chats with his son.

Naaah the truth is there should have been more father son chats in the brig.:

"So how are we feeling today father?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing luke, you have been on the rack for the last 3 weeks, and after all that lightening hit your bad knee...I would have thought you would be more sore"

"No father, OB1Kenobi takes care of me now. He sneaks skin conditioner through the walls"

"Errrr! I hate him, I will have to take care of that annoying ghost! Come over to the dark side luke. In the meantime, I will move the rack up a notch for you, here"

"aaaargh father, stop that I told you I just dont really know how to be evil good"

"You are the diet coke of evil luke"

I must disagree. I consider that McGregor/Portman/Christensen cast is better than Hamil/Ford/Fisher(/Guinness). Well, Harrison Ford is a character indeed, one of my favorite actors but can't do all by himself.

What is better in the original series is the lack of massive visual effects. What I'm saying, SW (re)invented the visual effects, and the original series is full of them, but the prequel is focused on the visual effects, while the first episodes only used them as background support for the story. Does anything from what I'm saying make sense to you?

I have an album with Zamfir playing some of the most famous film soundtracks on the pan pipes. It's a great album. I specially like "Tara's Theme" from "Gone With The Wind".

Macgregor....but he isn't the real OB1.
Portman.......I preferred Carrie Fisher
Christensen.Yeah, I buy that. He makes a good vader.

Well yes. I see what your talking about with the effects. They focused too tightly on the effects. The effects honestly are great, but effects get boring after 10 minutes. There has to be an underlying point. Those roger roger doggy droids just couldnt cut it. I see your point.

I actually liked the original effects better, because I thought the realism was more compelling. Consider broken teeth of the wierd looking Rancor to the earthlike look of the underwater monsters on naboo. Or the silly looking monsters the gungans rode to the sarlac pit.

For the new starwars: Where are all the bounty hunters? I dont see enough of them.

Episodes 1-3 (well, 1 and 2 so far) seem much more mature to me. That's why I like them more, specially episode 2.

You totally missed the point. The POINT was that so few (There were more than Leia, Luke and Han...) rebels could beat the vast empire because the "good" side of the force was with them. As were perserverence and heart. The empire was also to vast. I mean, Rome fell and they had a fantastic road system, trained armies, an established political system and educated peoples. They were far more advanced than just about any other culture out there... then what happend? They imploded. $#!T happens... :D

I think Vader could turn that easily! It was his child, that reminded him of his only love and he was good once... :ehh:

Yes, eventually all empires are doomed to fall. But not when they have a single enemy, but when they are attacked from all sides. In SW the rebels are moving from one planet to the other as each base falls under empire's attacks. And it's like the empire is just a Death Star and a few Amiral ships. Come on... In AOTC Count Dooku says that 10000 planets rally to their cause, the future empire.

PS: I favored the empire. I don't like the republic... :D

I like that scene where the millenium falcon is all :

"The back deflectors are down...one more direct hit and"...
they all turn around and stuff and go right at the empire like Sylvester Stallone blowing things up with a bow and arrow in all his foolish movies. UHF?

I know. I'm just trying to turn you to the light side?... bright side? :confused:
the other guys :D

Actually I still favor the empire. The empire rules.

Well, 13 days left...

Ok, a little different subject, same topic...

Item is marked $10, it rings up for $3 (self checkout) Do you pay the $3 and leave or tell a manager that it's marked wrong and pay the correct price? :confused:

(This is a conflict between good and evil, isn't it?)

Well, I don't know what "ring up for $3 (self checkout)" means (I'm not used to english market talking... :D ), so can you explain it again... (maybe I'll learn something from this... ;) )?

To calculate the price of an item plus the taxes imposed on the purchase you take it to the casher/clerk who "rings up" the item. (Ring up meaning summing the total cost/amount due of your item) Some of our stores have electronic cashers, you scan the bar code yourself and the computer does the math and tells you how much you owe. You pay the computer and go.

Does that help?

I had the feeling that must be it, but I had some reserves because of the Romanian system. Here all stores display the prices with the taxes included, or display two prices on the same tag: one without taxes (with bigger a font) and one with with taxes (with smaller a font). The second one is used in en-gross (resalers? - not sure the correct english term, the oposite of retailer) stores, rarely by retailers.

To answer your question: you can't fight the system on your own. You would have to pay and be more careful the next time... I guess...

Just pay for $3. The shop owner also cheat you. He said $10 although it was $3 :D

That is a good way to think about it!! I have been overcharged before at this store and not said anything...

Cilu: Resalers is right (if I understand you correctly)

BTW: May 19th is my brother's birthday... guess what he's getting!? :D
