Posted by: black and white Jul 3 2008, 11:59 AM

Today while browsing the who would you live with topic, I saw Yoda, Chewie and Qui Gon Ginn....legends of the light side of the forced. Star Wars fans indeed.

Well, I am seeing this more and more so need to start the topic. I am definately huge fan. Have all the books, tons of stuff (my wife calls it crap), even a full set of stormtrooper armor. I am certainly looking forward to the new clone wars film and series coming out in August. Anyone else got this bug? What are your thoughts on this film. My favorites for sure............

In order of favs.....

revenge of the sith
empire strikes back
phantom menace
a new hope
attack of the clones
return of the jedi

may the force be with you all

People may be unsurprised to know I detest Star Wars sad.gif I just don't get why people like it.

WOW Black and white!! That armor just rules it's awesome!!

I'm a huge SW fan here too, (just look at my picture in personal profile tongue.gif), and I used to collect japanesse figures, and light sabers (I have three of them!), , mini-helmet replicas and more stuff. I just love those movies.

For me the order would be:

empire strikes back
revenge of the sith
a new hope
return of the jedi
phantom menace
attack of the clones

Not that I dislike any of them, they are all awesome but somewaht different.

Good to see some star wars fans over here too wink.gif

May the force be with you! tongue.gif

laugh.gif Well, I certainly do not hate Star Wars, I never got into it it either. I saw A New Hope when I was in 10th grade (high school), and didn't really thought much of it aside from it being a Sci-Fi. I think thats the only Star Wars movie, I sat down and watched all the way through.

I'm more of a LOTR fan than anything laugh.gif

Return of the Jedi
A New Hope/Empire Strikes Back (Tie)
Revenge of the Sith
Attack of the Clones
The Phantom Menace (Barf)

I also like Spaceballs. biggrin.gif

Star Wars is pretty cool, but I'm more a Lord of the Rings type of guy. I'd rather have more historical kinda fantasy stuff instead of the whole sci-fi genre, still Star Wars is pretty fun smile.gif

I've always wanted to be the Witch King of Angmar. Man the Nazguls are one of the most frightening antagonist I have ever encountered.

I'm a Star Wars nerd for sure!! I simply love it, Everything about it. Its one of the greatest universes ever created! Darth Vader is the ultimate villain, He just kicks ass.

And come on, There aren't much things cooler than The Force and Lightsabers smile.gif

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jul 4 2008, 05:13 AM

I like SW alot, ive been trying to organize watching all 6 movies in a row but i can't seem to bring myself to do it yet. Light sabers are pritty awsome smile.gif i do enjoy LOTR more tho, the whole fantasy idea catches my eye more than sci-fi

Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Jul 4 2008, 09:13 AM

I am a fan.smile.gif And some times I haw a need to watch all the movies at one(one night).smile.gif

Posted by: Enucleation Jul 4 2008, 09:25 AM

Star Wars is great. My favorite movies are probably Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith

White Mariachi boots Ivan, found in good old San Antonio, Texas........One of the hardest pieces of the costume to find, even harder to swallow wearing them, I have an extra pair for you to gig in if you want:)smile.gif

I've always been a fan of Star Wars but I'm an original Star Wars girl... The New Hope, Empire and Jedi. I did not enjoy Phantom Menace or Clones but Revenge of the Sith was a saving grace for the newer movies. I also did not enjoy the "extras" Lucas put in when the reissue of the origial three was released... if it ain't broke don't fix it IMO. But to add Hayden Christenson in at the end of Jedi when Luke sees Yoda, Obi Wan and his father was just plain awful... I know he was trying to tie in the new ones but it ruined Jedi for me.

Love SW - hate Midichlorians! Worst plot point ever ...

I find a good De-Chlorinator sorts those pesky things out! unsure.gif

Posted by: black and white Jul 6 2008, 06:03 PM

Yeah, have to agree about the midichlorians...the concept just did not seem to ever get developed. Expected more, but who cares..............the new clone wars movie is coming out so that should satisfy us all.

Did any of you hear abot the new collectible book called Star Wars Frames.......I heard it was $4000 dollars.............

Yeah, I really hope it's gonna be a good film. And not too much about jedis. rolleyes.gif

I remembered there was a big fuzz here in Argentina amongs colectors, becouse some weird bad qualitty unofficial action figures that put in the box "Stars War" instead of "Star Wars" (you have to understand spanish and probably be from Argentina to apreciate the fun and the weirdness of the situation) and those things where like $200

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Jul 10 2008, 10:38 PM

For me there can be only one running order...

The Empire strikes back
The return of the Jedi
Star Wars
The revenge of the Sith
The attack of the clones
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
The Phantom Menace... (is this really Star Wars? tongue.gif )
