History is repeating itself, eh, Spock? -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:07 52
- Pitting SW vs. ST never really made sense to me. One has insanely wider appeal, no? And different demos -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 10:31 3
  - Spock is Reagen's nickname. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:51 2
    - Looked like you were taunting Remlik! -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 10:55 1
      - In your defense, I haven't called him that since...Monday. -- nm - David Apr 21, 11:04
- My favourite thing I've ever written is still that SW III preview. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 10:15 2
  - What was the joke one we did? I was trying to remember that the other night. - David Apr 21, 10:19 1
    - I vaguely recall that - something about the people you'd see in line? -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 10:33
- I'm just impressed that despite the last trilogy breaking no records, and being garbage, we're going through this again...when the real 800lb gorilla - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:14 43
  - I think you miss that *this* movie has what many people really want from SW: The original cast - TWuG Apr 21, 10:21 8
    - what I took from the trailer, is that it just looks more like the original movies, and less like the prequels. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 10:21 7
      - I'll be honest, the first teaser with the Falcon was a YES!...the 2nd was completely limp - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:33 5
        
        And damn, will somebody get that black stormtrooper his inhaler! -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 10:37 1
        
        and a nice cold Colt 45 malt liquor. nm -- nm - Billy Dee Williams Apr 21, 10:37
        
        Agist. -- nm - Diva Apr 21, 10:36
        
        the part that got me was the wrecked Star Destroyer. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 10:35 1
        
        That shot actually looked like what we saw in ID4 with the crashed spaceship in the Nevada desert. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:37
      - Yes. Which is why I want to see it. -- nm - TWuG Apr 21, 10:23
  - Different animals. - Ultron Apr 21, 10:16 33
    - You're remembering it wrong. EVERYBODY was dialed up about the prequels. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:18 29
      - My favourite memory about The Phantom Menace was making about $10 million by shorting it opening weekend. -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 10:33
      - As I said, my mother skipped them. And she saw the trilogy movies a minimum of three times each in the theater with me. - Ultron Apr 21, 10:21 1
        
        flip side: my mom didn't particularly care about the original trilogy, but she saw episode 1 on opening day. -- nm - mafic Apr 21, 10:23

        in JJ they trust. - Mel Profit Apr 21, 10:22 20
        
        People spent years after Phantom Menace convincing themselves it was good. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:45 5
        
        Yes, we know you think this. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 21, 10:49 1
        
        I remember the threads. - David Apr 21, 10:52
        
        i walked out at the end and said 'well, that was horrible" and haven't seen one since. but i will see the new ones. -- nm - Andie Apr 21, 10:48 1
        
        the 2nd prequel sucks. But I did like the 3rd one. especially the 3rd act. -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 11:03
        
        The bummer for us Star Wars geeks is that there was a good movie in there...and some very poor decisions deprived us of it. -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 10:46

        The issue that I have with JJ is... - Roger More Apr 21, 10:42 3
        
        MI3? *glove slap* - David Apr 21, 10:46 2
        
        There's a lot about M:I 3 to like but - spoils - Roger More Apr 21, 10:51 1
        
        You lie. -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:52
        
        I saw what he did with Star Trek so I am hopeful. - Mel Profit Apr 21, 10:31 6
        
        And I will never back down from my opinion that the pod racing scene was still absolutely stellar and almost made up for Jar Jar. nm -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 10:35 5
        
        that and Darth Maul and The Saga Begins by Weird Al -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 11:17
        
        that was a great segment -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 11:09
        
        Probably because it was conceived for the first Star Wars movie. -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 10:47
        
        except for that annoying Jewish alien. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 10:36 1

        I would actually not go that far. We hoped he could capture the feeling again. We wanted to believe. - Ultron Apr 21, 10:31
        
        and Kathleen Kennedy and Lawernce Kasdan. -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 10:23
        
        That is true. But that reaction was not by everyone on the planet. - Ultron Apr 21, 10:22 3
        
        Delusional -- nm - David Apr 21, 10:44 2
        
        Now, tell us to get off of your lawn. -- nm - Ultron Apr 21, 10:56 1
        
        How is your misremembering to feel better about something in any way about me? -- nm - David Apr 21, 11:04
    - I know many more people with kids who saw the prequels who can't wait for Episode 7 -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 10:18 2
      - Those poor kids. Call CPS on them. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:31
      - Meet more people -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 21, 10:21
- shit let the Star Wars nerds have their year...wait till Star Trek 3 and the 50th Anniversary. -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 10:09
