..."I have a very bad feeling about this."<br /><br />[impish, geeky grin]<br /><br />I never realized what a Star Wars geek I was until I played Star Wars Trivial pursuit at a young single adult activity. It eventually devolved into a tennis match between me and a couple geeks on the other team. I didn't even realize I'd seen the films enough times to pin down every random line or obscure detail.<br /><br />That being said, I am nothing compared to my friend Matt. When you watch the originals with him, he not only feels compelled to quote every line, he also likes to give you tons of background info from all the additional Star Wars novels he's read. Dude, just let me watch the ewoks, OK?Kimberly Bluestockinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18437063911115422205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-76905431837057044982010-05-05T23:13:43.879-06:002010-05-05T23:13:43.879-06:00You're gonna kill me for going in this directi...You're gonna kill me for going in this direction, but I loved the Cinedome! I loved how the ceilings looked like spider webs. I think that's where I originally saw Star Wars as well. <br />Now they scare me when I drive by because those twin domes look like giant breasts. :)<br /><br />I remember thinking that Luke was so cute in Episode 6 all dressed in black.

They are just good entertainment. I heard an urban legend that during the filming of the originals, there is one particular action scene when Mark Hamil stopped the scene to start quizzing Lucas about character motivation, etc. The story goes that Harrison Ford interrupted saying, "Kid, it's just not that kind of movie."<br /><br />If I cry in Episode VI, I have to also say that at the end of Episode III I get a little bit teary when Obi Wan cries out, in a moment of really good acting, "Anakin! You were my brother!" <br /><br />Good value, that.Science Teacher Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16579558647324072199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-16238264380529119902010-05-05T16:10:09.144-06:002010-05-05T16:10:09.144-06:00Hm . . .

I distinctly remember being told that Underoos were too pricey. Somehow, I soldiered on.<br /><br />Re: Mr. Christensen, was it glowering, or just really intense concentration: "Duuuh, what's my next line?"<br /><br />I admit to having personal issues with Dirty Dancing, which I saw only once at age 10, so my opinion there probably isn't worth much.mstangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639843518912282840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-61900677857402984932010-05-05T14:23:38.335-06:002010-05-05T14:23:38.335-06:00Okay three:

I mean, at least there was some degree of chemistry between the main characters. <br /><br />You have to know that Hayden Christensen is a bad actor when the most expression he can muster toward the adorable Natalie Portman is glowering. <br /><br />Lucas made like a billion dollars on this franchise; couldn't he have gotten a casting director who . . . no scratch that. Couldn't he have hired some one to help him work on the screen play?Science Teacher Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16579558647324072199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-84651286587835951312010-05-05T14:19:39.131-06:002010-05-05T14:19:39.131-06:00Two things:

I have yet to acquire Luke FryWalker, Yam Solo, Darth Mash, Spuda Fett, etc., but give me time. I guess my geek credentials are solidly intact.<br /><br />I tend to agree that Episode II had the worst love story ever, but Dirty Dancing gives it some stiff competition.mstangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639843518912282840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-9274396123360106042010-05-05T09:32:08.056-06:002010-05-05T09:32:08.056-06:00*sigh*

I think his next line is "What?" as he gets his vinyled butt blown out of the sky.<br /><br />Jenny--That woman in the white robe with the Peggy Flemming haircut who shows the hologram of the Death Star. I guess the Bothams are spies? Is she the head Botham? I always thought it was funny that Lucas spent more concern for those "many Bothams" than for and ENTIRE PLANET OF ALDERAANIANS WHO WERE OBLITERATED. What was Leia's line, when sympathy is expressed, "There is no time for that now."??<br /><br />Scully--My other Underoos were Barbie. It seems I have long been a contradiction.<br /><br />Yankee Girl--Han Solo, and perhaps the funniest line in three movies. Or maybe it is just the delivery? As I watched Episodes 1-3 I found myself asking all the time, "Where is a character like Han Solo???" <br /><br />Other favorites:<br /><br />"You could use a good kiss."<br /><br />"I don't know; I can imagine quite a lot."<br /><br />"I happen to like nice men."<br /><br />"Way to go Chewie; always thinking with your stomach."<br /><br />I'll have to post footage of my 2 year old imitating the Sand People.
