Bring Back Star Wars

feeds@kickapps.com (Eofer Draijonsai) — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:25:01 PST

I was curious to who has seen this british television show "Bring Back....." from 2008. The premise is to reunite or at least interview the primary cast members of iconic 70's/80's TV shows and movies. Other episodes included the A-Team, Dallas, Star Trek and a few other assorted. I'd totally forgotten about some blurb about it and not heard anyone mention it. Most of the major cast are interviewed (telling stories of each other but nothing I doubt we haven't heard) after being ambushed and a few actually did show for the "reunion."

So yes I have a copy it's still entertaining. I'll see how quickly I can convert it to dvd if any should want to see it.

Admiral Ackbar = Ole Miss Mascot?

This would be awesome. Afterall, if your nickname is the rebels, what better mascot could you have?

Star Wars Tourism

feeds@kickapps.com (sabacc) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 10:08:24 PST

Have you been to a Star Wars filming location or a place significant to the franchise or other Lucasfilm project? I know Bret's going to Tunisia in May so I look forward to hearing about his trip.

I'm taking a short trip to San Francisco next month. I'll be hitting a lot of tourist spots and am hoping to fit at least one Star Wars one in the mix. Pin, my wife, is planning the itinerary, so I'll be lucky if I can make it to The Presidio or something. Anyone have any suggestions of destinations in Northern California that might make a good quick stop?

Avatar Better Than Star Wars?

feeds@kickapps.com (kyzman) — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 00:24:25 PST

I liked the above article because I found myself wondering the same thing after I saw Avatar. I thought the movie was just incredibly stunning. After leaving the movie, I longed for what the prequels could have actually been and (hopefully) what the sequels will be. Both of my kids left Avatar noting that they thought it was better than SW as well. I'm guessing that Avatar will become to that generation what SW was to my generation.

Star Wars Dreams

feeds@kickapps.com (Aaronb1) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:58:44 PST

I am starting a new topic cause this morning i had a awesome dream. I will get to that in a minute. If you have had or recently had a dream involving Star Wars in any way. Then you can post it here. Now for the dream i had.

I was at home and in my possession, I had the uncut, unedited reel of Star Wars: A New Hope and Steve Sansweet was over at my house and took a look at it and we sat and discussed it. Somehow the film as we watched it got unraveled and we were putting it back together. For some reason it was outside and when it was going back in the reel, someone stepped on it. Well Steve said that is alright and we pasted it back to the spot where it was supposed to be. Then i woke up.

Wow what a dream.

Boba Fett

feeds@kickapps.com (sabacc) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 00:04:02 PST

Tony, this one's for you. Here's a thread, that may or may not live a little while, in tribute to the character that has never lost his popularity despite precious little cinematic screen time: Boba Fett.

Starting up the machine... here's a picture of a rare vintage cardback that features an interesting drawing of Boba that I've never seen.

Robot Chicken

I was browsing theforce.net as I do every 30min. I came upon this interesting article. Here is the link. http://www.theforce.net/l...rs_III_Update_123086.asp

I looked all over this board and couldn't find if there was a post on it or not. So I made a new topic. Enjoy.

My wife enjoyed the first Star Wars Robot Chicken. I need the second one on DVD.

The Old Republic MMO

feeds@kickapps.com (sabacc72) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 04:18:53 PST
Who's planning on playing The Old Republic? I'm very interested, but I'm worried that it will take up too much time. I already fall behind on the Star Wars experiences I like to pursue while maintaining a life. This seems like it begs for a huge time commitment. Here's an intro video that shows actual gameplay footage.

Star Wars: The Expanded Universe

feeds@kickapps.com (JGordon24) — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 11:06:35 PST
Alright. I'd like to get some opinions on the following statement:

"It's because of things like the Expanded Universe that make the phrase "Star Wars Is Forever" so true."

I know there are varying opinions on why Star Wars is indeed forever, but once I hear some feedback from you guys on this topic, I'll tell you why I asked.

Harrison Ford

feeds@kickapps.com (sabacc72) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:18:28 PST

Geli, this was specifically designed for you. I'm also curious to have a conversation about his work. We had a good debate at this week's meeting about Ford's talents and the quality of the product he's put out from the beginning of his career to now.

The Clone Wars episodes

feeds@kickapps.com (Aaronb1) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:09:26 PST

I am really inpressed with the episodes that I have watched. This may sound trivial but watching them closely I noticed something with Obi-Wan's eyes. I had mentioned this a group meet we had but his eyes looks like he has a lazy eye. One eye looks forward and the other looks to the side. Am I the only one that is seeing this? R2 really kicks but in the last episode but I wish that the fight scene between the droids was longer. Let me know what you all think.

C-3PO's BFF Riding the Death Star?

feeds@kickapps.com (kyzman) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:26:59 PST
And, no...I didn't think of that headline myself: http://www.tmz.com/2008/04/10/c-3pos-bff-riding-the-death-star/

"The 3'8" actor who played R2-D2 in the Star Wars flicks (yes, there was someone inside that thing!) is in the hospital with a mystery ailment. Blame Jar Jar! Kenny Baker was rushed to an English hospital last night immediately after getting off a plane from Chicago. Baker's son told reporters that the pint-sized star has problems with asthma, although friends initially thought the 73-year-old's condition was more serious. Help him, Obi-Wan!"

Best fan film ever....
