Star Wars Again

Those Auralnauts videos are brilliant.

Thanks for the present! Happy Life Day everyone...

Syncing is a bitch when your only copy (thats isn't a VHS) of Star Wars has 'A New Hope' on the crawl! But, it ain't nuffin we ain't all seen along time ago in a(...(.)) - GREEDO SHOT FIRST?! Here's to this point next year when 'The Fixer' Mike can fix up JJs' SW7. 

I FEEL LOVE

Good movie. Dunno why people don't talk about it more ;P

For the new movies, I hope they show the old characters the same way Avatar* did with Legend of Korra. They up front tell you how the old characters have affected the world, then have new characters in this affected world with a completely different conflict than last time. Then every once in a long while have an old character pop up to point the new ones in the right direction.

Something else LoK did deliberately that I think Star Wars should do too is that they made their new main character the exact opposite of the previous one (but still likable). I dunno, it added a lot of variety and explored really different situations than the old gang would have.

*which is seriously just elemental, martial arts Star Wars. YOU GUYS! I'm not kidding. Push yourself through season 1 goddammit!

Guys, you spend ten minutes talking about how many pits and falls there are on the death star, and then you ask why all the Stormtroopers are equipped with grappling hooks?

Think about it. 

Interesting tidbit: according to Chris Taylor's book How Star Wars Conquered the Universe, the "ellipsis period" thing is a direct homage to the early Flash Gordon films, which had the same thing.

Alright fine, I guess I'll be the asshole here.

What the hell is the difference between an ellipsis and a period anydamnway??

Doing it with spaces and periods is the MLA style, which isn't taken seriously outside of undergraduate classes. Typographically, any decent font will have an ellipsis as its own character. Alt + ; on a mac, or whatever the Windows alt code num pad semaphore.

Related, three asterisks is called a dinkus.

Really.

This Thanksgiving, when visiting my parents, my mom gave me my original VHS copies of The Trilogy, finding it int he attic. I've been waiting for an excuse to break out my VCR (it's somewhere in my closet), and this is the perfect excuse!

Thanks guys, and here's hoping Mike's recovery is fast.

There's a great little character called the "mid-dot" that would be great to use in place of apostrophes, periods, dashes, and ellipses that are now used to indicate letters and words being left out.
