I know, I know. I don’t like fashion and I don’t like reality tv. But there’s just something so compelling about it! It’s more like art project challenges than high fashion, in a lot of ways, and I like that.
Hahaha, touche.
I did both. And lo and behold, I was typing about Darth Vader, and suddenly the PR contestants mentioned him, too! It was like magic.
Seriously, are Wookie mating techniques different than our own? Do they use their knees (à la ST VI?) If they’re not different, all the fur that covers his thingy surely makes things difficult.
Oh for cryin’ out loud.
Ah, and then it came to pass that Old Timer was a rebellious OG who did not join his fellows in the gutter…
LOL <head explodes>
Does that make you the Empire in this metaphor?
It’s not a laughing matter. It upsets the entire balance of the GWC forum. I foresee a great disturbance in the gutter …
If I was the Empire, I’d start hiring more hot chicks. The Empire suffered from a serious overdose of testosterone.
Y’know. That just about sums up this place.
Sorry. Whew. OK, here we go … There once was a man from Nantucket…
Are you already cracked open your Schnapps? You are on a roll! 
finally got around to listening to this between welcoming my fireman home and dissecting dr horrible
first point i’d like to address is sexy vader ~ i agree with audra about the tortured teddy bear that women can’t help but want to nurture…also, the description of vader sitting in his oxygen chamber saying “i love puppies” is EXACTLY how i felt about him asking how padme was AFTER the mask was on…should have asked those questions before the mask was in place…
hgh maintenance leia ~ i think what sean meant was she would require a lot of effort to be with
i have to dispute the argument that owen knew what vader was capable of based on his previous contact with him…not sure who said it, but the thing about anakin slaying the sand people, anakin only told padme and the emperor NOT owen a guy he just met…that’s the way the story stands now so owen and beru’s conversation about luke turning out like his father makes no sense anymore…and i think it would have been more horrible of vader ordering their deaths had GL established a stronger relationship earlier on in the trilogy ie owen SHOULDA been that kid kitster someone who knew anakin from childhood and EXPERIENCED his fall also…if anakin was immaculately conceived, then why not have owen be the half brother rather than a step brother he has a casual passing acquaintance with…would have a been a very subtle mythological reference having anakin be the son of a god and owen being the son of his mortal father…THEY WERE NOT HIS FAMILY…he didn’t live with them…he spent an afternoon with them and even that afternoon he went to get his mom and buried her…how much do you think he talked to them?? they were strangers to him so who cares if he burned them??
technically obi wan lied but it wasn’t maliciously the way i keep hearing people make it out…if your best friends son asked you what happened to his father, wouldn’t you want to keep that childs image pure?? IMO it was a lie told for a good reason…you meet your friends son for the first time are you gonna say, " hey yeh you’re dad like betrayed all of us and now is a genocidal dictator!" i totally understood and agreed with obi wans lie…because unlike the generation that got to watch all the movies in one sitting in surround sound on dvd players and hi def tv’s, i am from the generation that had to wait three years in between each movie …that’s a lot of time to think and imagine the answers for yourself!! and the explanation ben gives for telling this lie was perfectly satisfactory to me…and had anakin NOT fallen, of course he would want his son to have his sword…isn’t that what father’s want for their sons?? A LOT of the dialogue in ep four doesn’t make sense anymore because of the first three movies…like i totally imagined ben and owen arguing about the lightsaber but i also imagined that anakin and owen and beru had a more established relationship other than “hey i guess i’m your step brother, your mom never talks about you”…and had owen and anakin had this more of a direct relationship, owen’s anger would be justified and of course he would want to protect luke from anakins fate and want him to have nothing to do with the things that made anakin into vader…but yeh the way the story is now is ben is a big fat liar and manipulating bastard etc etc
i don’t watch the remakes, but i still have to agree with chuck that the effects stand up to the test of time…and YES a good story lasts forever 
nya nya nya there’s LOTS of dialog from eps 1-3 and parts of rotj that i do that and pretend they don’t happen! or press mute so anakin isn’t so whiny in rots…
sorry audra 
i’m not as much a fan of padme’s princess leia’s buns…i liked MOST of her hair and clothes but a lot of em were just way to weird looking and unflattering for me!!
i understand threepio not recognizing owen but the way the story stands now, why doesn’t owen recognize threepio???
and the trash serpent spit luke out cause the anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hon…leia woulda been the next victim if the walls hadn’t kicked in!!
Who gave the young Wookie a bucket …
I’m totally serious. On your average Star Destroyer, the testosterone level was so high, you could see the bulkheads growing beards.
Well boys, this certainly puts the damper on our line of discourse.
I totally agree with you. It is funny that it has never occured to me that the Empire seems to not have a female in it. I suppose if Star Wars were made today Lucas would have included female officers.
Actually, gorillas and orangutans are quite hairy and not particularly well endowed (in contrast to human and chimpanzees). They manage.
To really know we need to know what type of social structure do Wookies live in? Are they monogamous (like humans and gibbons) or polygynous (like the other apes)? Are the males territorial and mate-gaurd (gorillas and orangs) or are they sperm competers (chimps and bonobos)? Those who are more familiar with the EU may have to help out here…
A bulkhead hath not a beard!
A hundred quatloos to the first one who gets it.
haha I got my birthday shoutout!
which totally made my day, but I just wanted to comment on whether Vader knew that Leia was his daughter. I think he found out at some point right before his final battle with Luke and was doing that whole “I’m reading your mind aka I’m invincible” thing just to mess with him. Someone can prove me wrong, that’d be great, but doesn’t that seem plausible? Because Obi Wan/Yoda (I can’t remember) said “Bury your feelings” and if thats a Jedi teaching couldn’t Vader (previosly a Jedi) know of and exploit that?
Haven’t watched the movies in a really really long time, so I might be overlooking something, but that’s what I always thought.
Nope. Uh - uh. No way Jose. Not gonna go there.
I’m totally serious. On your average Star Destroyer, the testosterone level was so high, you could see the bulkheads growing beards.
Which, of course, opens the door to a mature discussion of above average and below average Star Destroyers.
All the problems of the Empire would have been solved by hiring some chicks. Take the Stormtroopers - if they hadahad chicks to compete over, they would have started taking shooting lessons, so they could show off to the chicks. Which would have resulted in Stormtroopers actually hitting things in combat. Things like Han, Luke, Leia on the Death Star. Bow-chicka-vvv-vvv and the Empire would have lasted forever.
Beats me! (Beats Google too!)
