    luke looks like he's stoned or on heroin or something. he ought to have SOME kind of horrified expression on his face, that thing is still wrapped around him.


    leia looks like a generic mannequin. han solo looks good, though.

    Great idea, but as bookends, they are pushing together, rather than trying to stop from being crushed.

    yeah i'd rather have a one-piece that goes in the middle of the bookshelf, and find some other ends for it, just for authenticity.

    Ahhh, Diorama-Rama, my favorite school event next to "Hearing- Test Thursday".


    Ooh, now we're into the dregs. Here's Ralph Wiggum's entry. Pre-packaged "Star Wars" characters, still in their display box? Are those the limited-edition action figures? Why it's Luke, and Obi-Wan, and my favorite, Chewie!

    I'd rather the prequel discs get swallowed whole by the dianoga, and then the dianoga falls into the sarlaac just to make sure that those three lumps of bantha pudu are done away with.

    @Rabid Penguin: That's it, it's time to combine different scifi/fantasy stories together, and toss a couple of N2 mines down the throat of the sarlaac after tossing in the prequel-filled dianoga. I doubt that Mandalorian armor can withstand the force of a positron weapon.

    @Kaiser-Machead:


    Star Wars, overall, fucking sucks. I hate to say it, but it really really fucking blows.


    Episode 1: Little boys, and flying car races, and Psuedo-racist stereotypes Oh my!


    Episode 2: Can't even remember it.


    Episode 3: I actually enjoyed this one because a) you get to see Anakin become Darth Vader and b) Hayden whatever his name get's cut into pieces and set on fire.


    Episode 4: Blue Milk drinking dirt farmer gets embroiled in magical intergalactic war. Fucking yawn.


    Episode 5: Ummm ... let me give you a hand ...


    Episode 6 Fucking Ewoks. Damn near everything but the Ewoks.


    I am firmly convinced you could boil the saga down to Episodes 3 and 6 and summarize the plots from the other 4 and come out with a decent trilogy. But other than that, a full 70-80% of the series is complete and utter shit.

    @SkaHimself: Episode III is the biggest piece of shit in the entire canon. Episode I is mainly ruined by both young Anakin's shitty acting, and the horribly annoying Gungan species in total. Episode II was forgettable overall, but none take the cake like III, which went over the top, managed to get nauseatingly cheesy, and had almost no feel for this whole dark side transition. I wanted everyone to die in a nuclear explosion out of nowhere right by the midway point. I would've adored the movie if that happened.


    Anyone that chooses Episode III over V can join the dianoga.

    @Kaiser-Machead: And I actually like Ep. III... though not over V ;c) We're entitled to our own opinions, and the fact that you (Ska) don't like Star Wars doesn't bother me in the least. Apparently Kaiser and I disagree on the Ep. III, but he's not an outright douche.


    Post your opinions, just don't be a douche about it.

    If they don't call the cops you've probably found "the one."


    But the Maker Fair, other tech fairs, or cosplay events are another great place to meet women.
