The pictures are eluding me…but didn’t someone recently post both Stormtroupers and Vader with alternate choices of clothing?
Kinda like the Centurions in BSG. Note how the ones on the base stars are so much better shots then the ones Helo encounters on Caprica. Tons of female skin jobs running around, and voila - Centurions who can shoot.
Try “has no beard.”
Really guy, I thought this would be right up your gutter.
Beats me! (Beats Google too!)
According to Shakespeare in Much Ado About Nothing a bulkhead would be less than a man. Raising age and gender issues about your average Star Destroyer.
Just forget I ever mentioned Shakespeare. OK? Just forget it.
Making them Star Destroyerettes?
Appearing nightly at Radio City Music Hall in fabulous New York City.
667 is the Neighbor of the Beast.
How so? A special feature designed around the concept of love? How can that not be a wonderful thing? 
Love Top Chef. My sister had the marathon on a few years back when we did Thanksgiving at her house and I’ve been hooked since.
Not that has anything to do with Star Wars…
Tofu fried in beef fat? Sounds pretty sci-fi to me. :rolleyes:
Very much so. Poking fun at everyone else is fine, but his religion is off-limits? Lame.
Completely a guess (and I know very little of the EU either), but perhaps there’s some sort of issue with the repulsor technology in extreme cold? I know that the droid searching for Luke hovered, so maybe it’s only a problem over a certain size?
And not too reignite the high maintainence issue, but if anyone is it’s Han. You could never have a regular date with that guy. You would go into a restaurant for dinner and, inevitably, someone there would either want to exact revenge on him or get the price on his head someone has set for exacting revenge…
I’ve been listening to the audiobook version of Betrayal. Sounds to me like all Corellians are pretty high-maintenance. 
Who doesn’t?
Of course. It’s a little-known fact that Wookiees only have one leg. :eek:
Now that I know it’s from Shakespeare, I’m a little ashamed I didn’t get the quote. But then again, I’m really trying hard to forget everything I learned at school.
Hm. Well, the grain of salt is that the stereotype I was playing on comes very close to the truth. The homo sapiens hasn’t changed genetically since the stone age and “love” meaning monogamy is a way for the female to ensure that the male will stay with her for a couple of years until the offspring has grown up. I had very interesting discussions about this with psychology students at school…
Chaucer, actually, which is why the translation is an issue. (OT’s memory betrays him.)
Oh, then I have a better excuse for my ignorance. I did one class on Old English runes and literature and from then on stayed far, FAR away from everything that was Old and/or Middle English.
If anything, the tale of how the deathstar plans are captured in the EU is the most convoluted and confusing thing in the Expanded Universe. There are two or three versions. I need to read the new Deathstar novel that probably rectcon’s the whole mess. Kyle’s mission is cannon.
I have no idea what Chuck and Sean were talking about when they said Leia and Han are married twice and that Chewy dies twice. The only thing with Chewy I can think of is that he dies in NJO and then they made a Chewbacca comic series that was kind of like his funeral. The start of the series replays how he died in NJO.
I love the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series of games. Every few years a do a replay of all the games from Dark Forces to Jedi Academy.
Don’t be so sure about that keemosabe. I can’t say that Shakespeare didn’t lift the line from Chaucer (assuming you are correct - and I have no reason to doubt that you are), but Beatrice uses the words in Much Ado About Nothing when lamenting the lack of prospective suitors. All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again, and again, and again.
I’m going to have to reread MAAN, because I don’t remember that at all.
sorry…shoulda posted this a few days ago but i was busy IFYKWIM!! (my bf was gone for two and a half weeks fighting fires up north!!) 
haven’t had much time for the boards and my internet connection keeps dropping out as i try to catch up on reading this thread!
sorry i spit out my mental vomit in the middle of your wookiee sex discussion please continue i’m slowly catching up!! 
Somewhere in Act II, if memory serves, which it probably does not.
But enough of this. GR - Back to the gutter with “there was a man from Nantucket” limericks??? Now that’s writing.
Believe me. NO NEED for apologies.
Glad to hear he is safely home - at least for a while.
I’m catching up on this thread and I noticed people are sharing their first time SW stories. I posted this a while ago in the ROTJ re-watch thread. I’m too lazy to make a new write up.
This in response to the Ewok love shared in the EP. 1 thread.
YUB YUB!
Yay Ewok fans. The Ewoks hold a special place in my heart. I was a few months old when ROTJ came out. ROTJ was the first SW movie I remember watching. I was two years old when all my siblings, 1 oldest sister and 3 brothers, and myself came down with the chicken pox. Our family was an early adopter of cable TV. So, everyone was sick and home from school and there we were , all five us huddled on the couch transfixed on what was playing on the television. That moment, being surrounded by the love of my family as we shared in the excitement of A Galaxy Far Far Away is what began my life long passion for Star Wars. I think for me my love of Star Wars comes from that earliest memory of mine. The story is enthralling, but I think what I keep searching for in Star Wars is that moment in time when I had yet to learn of the world. That sense of unconditional love from my family. Every time I hear John Williams score just for a second I reach that place when the world was simple and safe and all I knew was the love of my family.
I believe it’s before the masked ball when Leonato et al are trying to convince Beatrice she should get married.
Beatrice: Lord, I could not endure a husband with a beard on his face. I had rather lie in the woolen!
someone else: you may light on a husband who hath no beard (not entirely sure of that bit)
Beatrice: and what should I do with him? dress him in my apparel and make him my waiting gentlewoman? he that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man. he that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man–I am not for him.
more random (mostly) useless craaap floating through my brain
she said “into the garbage chute flyboy!” they knew what they were getting into and the ray shielding was probably the thing that messed them up…
just trying to catch up if someone has already posted this!
also, i consider myself low maintenance as well, and i agree that it was mean of leia to start off with “aren’t you a little short for a storm trooper?” (i love in family guy where he tells her stay here and rot you stuck up bitch lol) but as a little girl she WAS my first female role model…females in film were princess leia or charlies angels…i opted for leia!!
