I'm debating over whether to watch the prequels this weekend before ROTS, watch ALL the movies this weekend (in the best order: 4,5,6,1,2), or just not watch anything before the movie. It doesn't really matter, but what should I do?

Well, I think it works either way, because if you watch all of the films before you go to the cinema, you'll be completely hyped-up about the film and be completely in a Star Wars mood. If you don't watch them, then when you go into the cinema you'll be feeling even more hungry for the film, and it will then be that much more satisfying!
Yeah well we waft from one topic to another really! But we have been focussing on the Star Wars side of things lately! Why don't we move that into the Ep3 thread!?
Life is a mere myth.
Or according to Einstein reality is just a very persistant illusion!
Can anyone tell me when the phrase "Oh Smeg" is used in Hitchikers Guide?
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.

Ooh, HGTTG! I can pretend that I know what I'm talking about!
I think it might briefly appear in the Restaurant at the End of the Galaxy or in Life, the Universe, and Everything on one of the more obscure planets, but I haven't reread each book in its entirety (sp?) for months.
And to bring up Star Wars again-what's the planet at the end of the Return of the Jedi with the fighting Wookies? I just noticed that the 100 Mile Dash sequence in the Incredibles musically and visually parodies that scene.
Flattery will get you nowhere, but don't stop trying.
what about Endor??? it be the planet that the Ewoks are from.....EWOKS!!!!! w00t!!! I feel soooo lost in this thread now...*pout* *is listening to Flogging molly and attempting to type at the same time....* BWAAAA! I have a weird itchy thing on my hand that has started to burn...*fans hand around in pain* ooo good news though...i maight be going to a Rob Zombie concert on Aug. 9 and the Chicago/Earth Wind and Fire tour again at Red Rock, on the 25th of Aug. my B-day is the 2nd of that month...and o gosh, i can ramble...forgive me, frienda!
Apparantly "Oh Smeg" is in the new film, but I can't think where!

I saw an advert this morning for some red and blue lightsabers and a darth vadar helmet, where you can actually sound like darth vader and it says phrases from the new film. I've decided to get the lightsabers for my birthday! I know they're meant for little kids fooling around and pretending they'll die if they get hit, but I still want them! ) My mate brought his round before and we were playing on my trampoline with them. It was well fun!
I have 2 lightsabers, and I am going to get the color chaning one and yoda's. I am 16...so screw the whole "for little kids" thing...I think it says 5 and up on the box, and we all fit that category...they are fun things to play with. My cousin (in collage) has a saber and cloak, which we play with when I'm in New Jersey. ^^' you're never to old to have fun!!!!!

Thank you! I might only end up getting one because they're around £20 and my birthday list is already beginning to stretch!
I like playing with them. It reminds me that I'm still like a little kid and can still have fun. I'm not grown up yet and can keep it that way for as long as I want. I'd prefer to fly off to Neverland but I guess that lightsabers, muddy clothes and everything else like The Incredibles and Toy Story'll have to do! )
That sounds great! I think I'll have to get a couple! Although they'll probably break if you use them too hard! We were having fights with these metal poles we found in the music room last Friday, blimey that was fun! And then me mate put 2 together to make a proper Darth Maul saber! ROCK ON!
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.
I totally sympathize with you, ilove pierce; I had a total of 14.5 hours of college testing two weeks ago, and there's another deluge of work for me within the next four days. Argh!
I just had a really good bell choir concert tonight, so I'm really very happy about that. There's something to be said about "Trumpet Voluntary" sounding this good on hand chime bells )
Flattery will get you nowhere, but don't stop trying.
I like to play trumpet voluntary on well...my trumpet. That sounds cool though, bells playing it. As to sabers and grownups, the local comic book guy is like 45 and he still plays with his sabers...i battle him regualarly. ^^ he comes to work in a Qui-Gon costume a lot...very funny sight. I might inquire at Time Warp for a summer job...not that I know anything about comics, but i am a nerd!!
WE are all nerds about something Pen. look at us we all like James Bond!
Yeah I had about the same Tracy, testing time that is. I had to take the AP History Exam and the Lit and Comp exam. I swear when this year is over I'm having a big bonfire and we are gonns roast marshmellows over the fire that is fueled by our books and homework and tests.

That sounds like a fantastic idea! I'm doing it for my birthday! ) I'll have my mates round. It's also another excuse to drive my parents out of their minds! They'll get drunk and buy me anything I like!
At my school, the seniors have an end of the year bonfire to do jus what you described, ilove pierce. I'll have to wait until next year
Which AP History exam did you take? I took the AP US History, AP Lit and Composition, and AP French Language exams.
My group plays "Trumpet Voluntary" by Jeremiah Clarke; it's the song that's played at graduations and such. I played this piece on the clarinet several years ago with the trumpet bit replaced by clarinets as we only had clarinets, flutes, a saxaphone, and a piano in our band. No wonder my school pretty much cut out the instrumental music program...
Flattery will get you nowhere, but don't stop trying.
We had an orchestra and a choir here at school once, they were quite good. Then our music teacher actually got at them and they died a horrible death! She's really nice it's just, she's useless! Such a shame!

I agree! Though boys and Doctor Who are making their territory. I'm always thinking of one of the 3. Except for now. Now I'm thinking of 'Sweet Child of Mine' by Guns and Roses. My mate was playing it on his electric guitar. He's so great at it!
Relax darling, I'm on top of the situation -{

Do you think there's anything wrong with being a fan of Star Wars, when you can't remember anything about the few films you have seen?
OMG Tracy Those are the ones I took!
Minus the french, I take that next year.
But yeah, How do you think you did?
The multiple choice on the History exam was fairly simple I thought, but the Lit one was horrible. Did you understand that Mr. Vohles thing at all? And hhow about that 1775 DBQ, joyous!
It's good then? I hope to see it very very soon! I would have done this week but I had my french exchange partner with me and she wouldn't have enjoyed it!

I didn't realize that there would be as many multiple choice questions as there were, but luckily I managed to finish in time on that section. I still can't believe that we're forbidden to talk about the multiple choice in detail for the rest of our lives! :S The DBQ was really weird at first; I didn't expect a DBQ to cover such an early time period! I ended up talking about the early interest in the status of minorities and the political controversy that would follow (i.e. Indians, slaves, and women), the beginning of the shift from Jefferson's ideal of the citizen farmer to Hamilton's cosmopolitain commercial state, and the incorporation of Enlightenment principles into the federal Constitution. I could be totally off on that, though. I actually had a harder time with the first free response question; I ended up writing about how the economies of Virginia and Massachusetts affected their political live, but I wrote a lot more on the second question on which I chose the topic of "Compare and contrast the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement." What did you write about?
The English free response section was easier than I had expected it to be, but the multiple choice was sort of weird. The later passages were easier, though, and I liked that at least the first passage started off on an amusing note . Which book did you use for the last question?
French seemed pretty easy to me, but I studied about 25 minutes for it as I overstudied for AP US :S You really don't need to know that much grammar; there are literally 10 "fill in the blanks" for conjuctions, prepositions, and the like and 10 "fill in the verb tense" sections. The essay this year was thankfully something not obscure like "What do you think of anti-doping trials at the Olympics?" but the speaking was hard! I just hope that they grade more easily on that...

I didn't do it! I got so annoyed with myself yesterday! I was going to tape Star Wars:The Phantom Menace and watch last night, but I was watching the FA Cup Final and forgot! Man U didn't even win! I ended up watching AVTAK with my mate taking up all the bed so that I was falling off!
At least I had Doctor Who to look forward to this morning!

Ah, very good. Only problem is, by then, Episode III will have been released and you'll probably see it before you can see Episode II!
JM, I don't blame you for not seeing Attack of the Clones since you saw it in 2002 at the cinema. Apart from the end it is rather bad!
Does that mean that you haven't seen Episode I for 7 years?
Well, I think it works either way, because if you watch all of the films before you go to the cinema, you'll be completely hyped-up about the film and be completely in a Star Wars mood.

Up to you, depends how much free time you've got!

Which voluntary? I know The Prince of Denmark's March.
Hey I play the trumpet too! I'm more into the jazz side of things though, however that isn't to say I don't like classical brass music, I love it all!
