i just saw the new star wars movie?

it was good i really like it the story line was ok the music was good the relationship with Ahsoka Tano and anakin was good. the thing that bug was that the opening was kinda of odd but i think it would have been better if it was yoda voice in it instead. but over all i like it and cant wait to see the tv series. so what u think about the movie

Is Santa Jedi or not?

So i put up a different form of this question, but for no reason it was deleted.

1) He wears the same clothes all the time.
2) He has supernatural speed and agility.
3) He’s a keeper of the peace, not a soldier.
4) He’s an excellent pilot, and he has a speeder we call a sleigh.
5) I would be willing to bet Sith are on his "naughty" list.
6) Given that he is responsible for the manufacture of most toys, he certainly has made many of his own lightsabers. Mostly little tiny plastic ones, but lightsabers nonetheless.
7) Some might think he’s a "crazy old wizard."
8) He can sense Dark and Light side.
9) He could use the Jedi mind trick on the people who are still awake when he comes. (A slight wave of the hand … You don’t see a jolly fat man in a red suit … I don’t see a jolly fat man in a red suit …)
10) He has the beard of a Jedi.
11) He wears the colors of the Republic: red and white!
12) His elves are related to Yoda.
13) When 900 years old you are, look as good you will not. Santa’s being a Jedi would definitely explain how his reindeer can fly. I looked for Santa in the Jedi Temple scenes from the recent Star Wars movies, but I never did see him. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t in there somewhere, though. Maybe I’ll go back and rewatch "The Empire Strikes Back" a little more closely to see if I can spot his old residence on Hoth. I feel safe in saying he could have learned "Ho Ho Ho" from Jabba the Hutt (or maybe that’s backward). And he most certainly uses his Jedi powers to squeeze himself through chimneys, not to mention he travels all around the world in one night. He would have to use Force speed to do that (and Force healing abilities when he lands in the fire of a fireplace)! So yes Virginia, Santa is a Jedi. I’m betting his lightsaber fell into a sack of toys (or he lost it when he crashed to Earth) and then there was some little boy, somewhere, who terrorized his sister, maybe even cut off her hand with it. Either way, we have treasured him. Come Wednesday night, if I see Santa flying a Jedi Starfighter, I think I’ll just take a drink of rum and go back to sleep.

Merry Christmas and may the Force be with you all!

A Christian overreaction?

I was at church a few weeks ago and I overheard this woman talking about her 6-year-old son who loved Star Wars. She told how he was constantly playing with his toy lightsaber and talking like Yoda. She said she was concerned about this obsessive behavior (which is understandable, if it doesn’t stop), but then she said she was concerned because she thought Star Wars might convert her son to Hinduism.

Umm, what?

Does that seem ridiculous to anyone else here?

This is a 6-year-old kid whose family are devout Christians and who goes to Sunday School every week. He’s probably never even heard of Hinduism, or any religion other than Christianity, and I don’t think Star Wars is explicit enough in its ideas to inform anyone of any real religion, much less an unquestioning kindergartener. Later that day, the mother gave her son a lecture about the thoughts Star Wars would put into his head and convinced him to cut back.

Do you think this was a reasonable reaction? Please say no…

1) He wears the same clothes all the time.
2) He has supernatural speed and agility.
3) He’s a keeper of the peace, not a soldier.
4) He’s an excellent pilot, and he has a speeder we call a sleigh.

Giving other treats for Halloween?

Anyone plan to give out something to trick-or-treaters instead of candy? I stopped giving out candy a few years ago, opting to hand out little toys, pencils, collector cards, stickers and such. I look for popular characters such as Disney Princesses, Nemo, Sponge Bob, etc. I got this idea after I found myself saving collector cards from box panels. I don’t usually collect them for myself, but I don’t want to throw them away. I figured there must be a way to get them to kids who may want them (I have none of my own), and it occurred to me that Halloween was perfect for this.

I’m curious if anyone else has ever tried this idea?

Incidentally, I let each child see what I have and let them pick what they want. One year, I found a "Star Wars" collector card (of Yoda) on a box of Kudos, and one boy was eager to have it. Last year pencils, collector card and toys from "Cars" (from a box of cereal) were very popular among the kids who came to my door.

Will you train to be a jedi?

On Becoming a Jedi
This one’s for all you Star Wars nerds. USA Today reported on an upcoming toy that "will let you test and hone your Jedi-like abilities." What in the name of Jabba the Hutt does that mean? Well, according to the article, the Force Trainer "comes with a headset that uses brain waves to allow players to manipulate a sphere within a clear 10-inch-tall training tower." The wireless headset will read the person’s brain activity "and the circuitry translates it to physical action." It sounds like something from "The Onion," but we assure it’s the real deal. This fall, you can pretend to be Yoda for about 0.

– yahoo.com

Will you spend the 0 on the new toy??

The Press release will happen today that Intelligence Leaders along with Bush used a Plastic Toy Ball to decide on War in Iraq and other important facts(?), for Weapons of Mass Destruction. Can you believe this? Yoda used it in Star Wars Right?
It’s obvious that some people are up to snuff on Current Events and some are not.
Try reading the Facts on: World News. I didn’t dream this up. This "toy", was removed in 2004. It will Post Today as I have stated.
I have not posted a false statement. If those with "silly" remarks, think they are so smart. Why don’t you go and win the War in Iraq.
For those who wanted proof.
Just Google: president Bush/8 Ball
You’ll find an Ocean of proof.

star wars episode 3 DVD extra?

In star wars episode 3 dvd, you can see yoda dancing to some rap music or something with three storm troopers. I saw it once when I started the DVD, but now I don’t know how to see it again. I know I didn’t see it on the second disc. Anyone know how to play it?

If slipknot/marilyn manson and the like are the Darth Vader of goth music, who are Luke Skywalker? Leia? Jarjar binks? R2D2? Count Dooku? chewbacca? Obi wan? Yoda?

Thanks

Today I went to Walmart and was looking for a "Star Wars Clone Wars ‘Clone Pilot Odd Ball’ CW14 Action Figure". I succeeded in finding him but to my surprise, there was a misprint! Instead of listing his name as "Odd Ball" on the front, as you can see in the links below, it says "Yoda". Also, the bar-code/proof of purchase says that it is "Yoda". I looked at the package and its sealed so I don’t think someone tried to slide a separate paper inside. And, the "’Odd Ball’ Galactic Battle Game Card" appears to be included but the "Yoda" name is printed on the bottom. Please look at the pictures and let me know if you’ve heard anything similar to this and if this mistake is worth anything.
Thanks in advance!

I am supposed to write a 500 word descriptive essay on my bedroom:

If you were to ask me to describe my room in one word, I would describe it as “Unique”. I doubt that you would ever see a room quite like mine.
_____My room is a very small room, approximately six by ten feet, making it about the size of a large closet. This provides a comfortable place to study, play video games, or watch movies with friends.
_____When you walk into my room you will notice the uniqueness right away. You must duck down to get through the door; walking under my bed which hangs from the ceiling with chains, much like the drawbridge of an enchanted castle.
_____Looking around my room it will become exceedingly obvious that I am a Star Wars fanatic. Half of the room is painted Royal Blue, resembling the Honor of the Jedi Order; the other half of the room is painted Gumball Red, resembling the evil corruption of the Sith. Characters from throughout the Star Wars Universe are illustrated in near life-size resemblances painted on the wall. Heroes like Yoda, Obi-wan, and Luke, represent the Jedi Order; Enemies like Darth Vader, Darth Maul, and The Emperor represent the Sith. Lightsabers that glow in the dark are brought to life by the lulling sound of the refrigerator humming in the next room.
_____Drawing and illustrating the characters on the walls took nearly a year for me to complete. I started with a simple coloring page, copied to a transparency, and projected onto the wall. I then traced the projected image with a Sharpie marker, and colored it in with Crayola crayons, giving the image texture, and making it appear more lifelike, repeating the same procedure for all the characters on the walls. Hung over the windows are the original Star Wars curtains which were my dad’s when he was a kid.
_____Walking through my room is hardly possible. Since my room does not have a closet, storage space is limited to two dressers, one for clothes, and one for video games and other small items. Any other items that will not fit in the dressers are either piled up on the dressers forming a mountain of junk, or scattered around the room. Clothes are spread out everywhere, and board games rarely get put away; golf clubs here, folding lawn chairs there, and a pile of tools that never seem to get carried down the stairs into the basement.
_____The east wall of my room is nothing but a large bookshelf which reaches from the floor to the ceiling and all the way across. The multiple shelves hold innumerable board games, As well as a 20” old fashion television, and a large collection of video games, connected to an intense 5.1 surround sound system with speakers on every wall, and a subwoofer in the corner. On another shelf in my room is an extensive collection of over sixty different star wars books, most of which cover the era after the Star Wars movie saga.
_____I have always heard it said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but pictures are not allowed on this essay, and I was given only five-hundred words to describe one of the world’s most awesome rooms.

( "_____" = paragraph indent.)

any help with grammar, / punctuation would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.
WOW! I just realized how i worded the question.
-i’m off to a bad start huh? :P

*Warning* May contain spoilers for anyone who hasn’t seen these movies, so leave. Now!

Both sequels that are, according to many, "better than the first": Star Wars A New Hope and Batman Begins.

Both with unforgettable performances: Frank Oz as Yoda and Heath Ledger as The Joker.

Both with big character development.

Both with chilling villains: Darth Vader and The Joker.

Both with secondary villains: Bobba Fett and Two-Face.

Both Oscar winning Special effects.

Both incredible opening sequences: At-At walkers and Bank robbery.

Both with plenty of action/violence for us dudes to drool over!

Both with great message: "Do or do not. There is no try." and "You either die a Hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the Villain."

Both with a darker tune.

Both with great villain quotes that many repeat: "I am your Father!" and "Why so serious?"

Both about two GREAT franchises: Star Wars and Batman.

Both deserve to win an Academy-Award for Best Picture, but they didn’t because the "smart" guys @ the Academy think they are: Just a dumb Sci-Fi Movie and a Popcorn Comic-Book flick. YEESH!

Both with great music from two legends: John Williams and Han Zimmer.

Both have cliff-hangers that have you end up asking questions.

So, which is better? Which would you rather watch over and over again?

Which one will you remember on your death bed? And why?

Me: Both! Deciding between these two flicks is like choosing between my favorite children. I have seen both ~100x. Both are filled with great themes. Both have a great Hero/Villain relationships. Both have strong themes that I just can’t stop talking about. I am a fan of both Star Wars and Batman. I just LOVE the Cinema!

ps If someone prefers ESB over TDK, don’t say, "You are very disrespectful to Heath Ledger!" Just write down which you like more, and why, and just leave it there!

pss Don’t say they are just "average Sci-Fi/Superhero popcorn flicks! You obviously need to watch them again and PAY ATTENTION!!!

psss What do you think we can expect from Batman 3?

pssss It’s TESB’s 30th. So remember that.

psssss May the Force be with you…

it would be great. the fighting would be awesome. i mean Darth Vader is the most skilled and strongest jedi ever. and obi wan was one of the most strongest jedis ever, and dont say oh well he was a old man. obi wan is supposed to be 57 in those movies, and guess what… thats younger than Palpatine, yoda, Mace Windu, and count doukuu, but they were fighting lighting fast. so why cant obi wan. and dont say oh darth vader had cyborg parts. BULLSHYT. grievous was a cyborg, and he was super fast. lets not forget how quick those storm troopers moved. i would like to see a more flashy fight between Vader and Luke. even though vader was wayyy stronger than him and he just toyed with him. i still want to see a better fight. same goes for Vader and Obi wan in the death star. and i would rather yoda not look like a puppet. please its not a good look. the movie was good when i first saw it but now its just too boring too watch.
and for all you guys that are going to say "dont change a classic, its perfect the way it is." no one said that they were going to just throw away the old versions of it. their has been tons of remakes, and lets face it the remakes are more enjoyable.

I keep on getting stuck at the droid at the end. Yoda says to hold it down w/ the force but it just pulls it back out. I have no idea what to do!
Help please I need help!
Never mind I figured it out by myself

3 things make me wonder if Sidious just wasn’t toying with Windu until Anakin arrived to jump over to the Dark Side…
1. He dispatched the other three Jedi who accompanied Mace pretty darn quickly, which would have given him more control over the fight with Mace and allowed him to prolong it until Anakin showed up.
2. I think Sidious was actually a changeling who could adapt his appearance from his normal ugly complexion to the one we know and love as Palpatine at will. Letting himself slip back into Mr. Ugly was his way of dramatizing the situation for Anakin… afterall, after suffering 32 Million watts of Dark Brand electricity, would he really be up to addressing the Senate the following day?
3. Assuming Mace’s and Yoda’s capabilities to be roughly equal, Sidious didn’t have such a hard time kicking his little green friend’s behind… suggesting Mace wasn’t such a big challenge either.

What do you think? And please, no Star Wars hate answers… I’m just an occasional fan.
There’s also the context of the storyline… on one hand, it definitely makes it tragic that Anakin showed up just in time to screw things up for the Jedi and that definitely makes you regret his decision all the more, knowing that Mace could have bested Palpatine.

But there is still an element of tragedy perserved if it was a ploy and something else is added: Sidious’s passion for finding the perfect apprentice is proven when he puts himself in harm’s way just to push Anakin over the edge.

To me, having both an element of tragedy in Anakin’s turning perserved as well as Sidious’s devotion to finding the perfect apprentice demonstrated is much more interesting than just Anakin tragically messing things up for the galaxy.

What does the Happy Meal Yoda toy say?

Right now McDonald’s has Star Wars: Clone Wars happy meal toys. Yoda says something when you press the button but I have no idea what it is. Any idea?

I need some one that will post a full list like this example:

Magic 8 ball kind
- Yoda
-
-
-

like that.

Thank you so very much and if your selling also comment me or email me at Dylan-owns@hotmail.com

…and collects Star Wars memorabilia that includes a real Storm Trooper outfit and Tie Fighter bed complete with laser lights, has a Wookie fur covered sofa and mini refrigerator with choice of Cheez-Whiz or peanut butter for your Ritz crackers….wouldn’t you think this guy’s a catch? What if I told you this guy can sound like Yoda when making love? “Good you feel, about to orgasm I am!” Wouldn’t you think the women would throw themselves at this Jedi stud?

Sadly, you’d be wrong.
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go play with my lightsaber.

POLL: Han Solo or Scruffy-Looking Nerf Herder?

Where can I find Star Wars BurgerKing toys?
