MrDisco

looks like my auction ended early. interesting site...that's one way to avoid ebay fees

this is going to be a stupid question but is he implying that he himself got married or was it just a joke in his blog?

Plageous (sp) could make life out of nothing. Who's to say Anakin wasn't created just to become Vader?

i'm quite sure that the whole 'create life' bit was a lie to tempt anakin. near the end of the book sidious tells vader "that power only Master truly achieved, but toegether we will find it"

Why is Yoda's lightsaber so short?

short and thin. makes you wonder if its not as powerful as a regular saber.

didn't he go mad because of the deep space exploration that they were on? been a long time since i read my copies.

Ralph? Wasn't it Mike Novic?

yes it was good old Mike. which may be our segue into how a certain character makes his appearance.

I'll never get used to Samuel Jackson as a jedi. His performance is over-the-top in a typically Sam Jackson way, and there is really no connection/sympathy with his character, other than allegedly just being a baddass jedi. His starpower actually harms his role, they really should have cast a lower profile actor for his part.

i disagree. after reading the novelization i think samuel is fine for the role.

that was a great ep. cant believe there are only 5 eps left.

just saw it last night. great flick. should be a good DVD release

that screencap looks pretty good.

just finished reading the novel (the hardcover print, not the graphic novel). this should be one heck of a movie. things i didn't get though/general comments:

- if yoda and kenobi train with qui-gon on how to merge with the force, how does anakin pick up the trait?

- the skeletal death star frame reminds me of a what they used in the non-cannon sw novels

- definately watching the clone wars (or perhaps reading labrynith of evil) helps sets the stage for the movie. though in clone wars there were 3 jedi knights rescuing palpatine and in the novel they only mention 2

- the wookies dont even make it in the novel :|

check out the teasers:

awesome display piece. how many hours did it take to complete?

Then why do you respond to her posts?

actually i don't. never have. only in this one instance b/c i was directly mentioned did i politely ask to not involve me. you can be assured from this point on i will be continuing to ignore her posts.

Then do your cretinous self a favor and keep your "anime-nazis" comments to yourself and not insult the rest of us who don't care for Robotrash. Damned idiot..

what ever problems/debates/issues you have with other members i simply ask you do not draw me into your conversations. you seem to have a beef with me. at no point did i personally insult or attack you. i have reported your behaviour to the mods. do not contact me, do not post messages about me. in short i want nothing to do with you. based on past experience i find you to to be very unstable so i want absolutely nothing to do with you.

thank you for your attention on this matter

Mr Disco, I hope you learned a fine lesson from this. This is why some Robotechies just don't belong on MW. The Anime Nazis can have a field day with their combined idiocy.

please do not involve me in your rants.

help the anime-nazis are on the warpath.

1)Why was an F-117 sitting around with live munitions at some airfield near LA?

2)When Mitch Anderson (I think that's his name) got into and took off with this aircraft, I think somebody preparing the aircraft would have realized that this was not the pilot who flew it there and was to take off with it.

3)What was Mitch Anderson's motivation? Was it the money and/or his discharge?

4)I wish these writers would do a little research and find out that the F-117 has NEVER used air-to-air weapons opperationally, so it would be virtually impossible that this F-117 would have any such weapons. Since the Nighthawk has no radar, it can only be configured for Sidewinders.

5)Which leads to that the F-117 can not track other aircraft or targets by radar. At best, it could use it's FLIR to try to detect air-to-air targets.

6)Since Air Force One had several fighters giving it coverage and since they were looking for an incoming threat, they would have detect the F-117 when it got in close enough (either radar or IR) combined with that there was no other air traffic and no ECM being done by jamming aircraft.

7)There was no specific lockon onto Air Force One... he just aimed at the cluster of aircraft and fired.

(keeping in mind its a tv show i'm sure none of this will appease the aviation buffs)

1. i believe it's b/c the f117 was destined to be transported to another base. perhaps carrying ammo is part of the deal.

2. given how fast events are unfolding i don't think so. also if you've ever been a part of any sufficiently large organization you know that things do not work like clockwork.

3. motivation has not been revelead

4. its a tv show - suspend your disbelief. if we start picking apart the show and making it 'accurate' we would be left with pretty much nothing.

5. see #4

6. see #4

7. see #4

that episode was soo good i think my head is going to explode.

it came out here in Toronto on the 30th

SW comics, for the most part, have all had really crappy artwork.

the artwork is o-k but the dialog has been chopped down quite a bit. also some scenes you kind of wish we see more of (i might feel the same way with the movie as well).

just read the ROTS tradepaperback. awesome story, kind of crappy graphic novel.

for the toy collectors get ready for unprecedented wave of SW mania. we have the 'empty' box exclusive for TrU - 4 of the original OT figures which you redeem with the coupon inside. There is the holographic yoda only available at Times Square TrU - free if you spend $35 worth of SW stuff there (so get ready for eBay!), and there's the 'reflections of lava' darth vader figure exclusive to Target (this figure looks pretty cool).

Arggg. glad i quit collecting SW before ep1 hit.

i'm a big new order fan. can't wait for the new album to ship
