"Chewbacca? Have you even seen Star Wars?"

Bonus points for naming that quote.

I suspect that Lucas tries to avoid watching other people's sci-fi so he can legitimately claim not to have been influenced by it. Though in a few months, that's all over.

^Owen Wilson in Armageddon.

But I think Chewie is too Loyal to be Jayne.

The books don't count.

I do hope for the ewok thing, though. We can only wish.

Actually QUICKSAND, not to contridict you but I have "The Essential Guide to Characters of SW" and Han was in the millitary, that was how he and Chewie met. Han was kicked out of the Empire for saveing Chewie. Mal was a Rebel from the Begining.

Okay,yeah, I can't argue with you there.

If I hadn't been drinking, I could probably think of some insanley complex reason I think Jayne is Chewie, but I have been, so I can't. I just have always thought Jayne was Chewbacca-eqsue, with no actual solid reason involved.

Maybe tomorrow............. :)

Glad to know I'm not alone. I like the prequels. Yes, I think the "love" story in Ep II didn't live up to the hype (well... it was their love that created that gorram universe!) But I think that the Prequels themselves didn't live up to the hype. 20 years is a long time for people to become set in their hopes and ideas.

Regaurdless of whether or not I don't agree with some stuff in the prequels, they're good. I enjoy them

And how bout that? It's all Jar Jar's fault that the Empire got the foothold it needed to take over. That was a good move on Lucas' part.

Well, the love story would have lived up to the hype a little better had there been better chemistry between Hayden and Natalie. Though how anyone can have bad chemistry with a short little piece of tasty like Natalie Portman I'll never know.

Bad directing, bad writing. Having never seen Hayden in anything else, I can't comment on his acting ability, but there are times where he seems he's just struggling to get the lines across.

Natalie had a couple of really good scenes in EpII... but they were cut.

I have to concurr with the sentiment that the story for the prequals is fine, but the way it's told is not. Thinking about it now, there's nothing wrong with either film that a good script doctor and a decent director couldn't have prevented.

Natalie Portman almost never has good scenes. At first, in Star Wars, she just wasn't anything much for me (except for the annoying way her clothes always got ripped in a very artistic way in fights), but for some reason she's just really started to irritate me recently.

Did you see Garden State? It got such good reviews, and it wasn't bad, but she just spoilt every scene she was in. Girls just aren't like that. No one is 'kooky' 24-7. She acted like how you act when you're a teenager trying to impress a bloke. So why was she acting like that? Is it because she is permanently flirting with her co-star / the audience? In which case, what about her female audience? Also, the person who wrote that script had never worked in an office, especially not a lawyers one.

End of rant.

Well, almost: the worst possible thing about the new Star Wars films was that scene where the wee boy leaves his mother. In the cinema, you kind of get carried away with the music, and you think, oh, he has to look back, he has to go back... and then he does. It totally ruins the moment. There's no emotional restraint at all. It's so cheesy...

I still like the sword fights though.
