Re: Star Wars Again
This was so nice. Just hearing you guys talk about Star Wars again is the podcast equivalent of a warm blanket and cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter evening.

Re: Star Wars Again
I guess I'm gonna have to finally check this one out. Two commentaries means it must be good I guess.

Re: Star Wars Again
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.

Re: Star Wars Again
This was a delightful, hilarious episode, cheers.
P.S. I loved the midichlorian gag. Though I also kinda like to think that the link between midichlorians and The Force first started 'cause of some Jenny McCarthy type in the SW universe.
P.P.S. Teague, I thought your "only Al Ladd" joke was great.

Re: Star Wars Again
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!

Re: Star Wars Again
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.

Re: Star Wars Again
One of my favorite things in the Auralnauts parodies is "Master Qui-Gon, I head Yoda talking about midichlorians. What are midichlorians?" "It's heroin"
best indictment of midichlorians ever. lol (BTW, spell checker wants to change midichlorians to valedictorians. I feel like there's a really good joke in there somewhere)

Re: Star Wars Again
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.

Re: Star Wars Again
Or just that it's like, proper syntax.

Re: Star Wars Again
Alright fine, I guess I'll be the asshole here.
What the hell is the difference between an ellipsis and a period anydamnway??

Re: Star Wars Again
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.
Re: Star Wars Again
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.
