That's her! Yes, indeed she was.
That's her! Yes, indeed she was.
And also that other foxy gal who was in the film and did a couple of other things and then disappeared after her role in "Funny Farm"
"Get me out of here…get me the hell out of here."
I'd love to see him reprise the general from WarGames…just because he can. "After careful consideration I've come to the conclusion that your bull riding sucks."
I just want to fin in.
Holy crap! I knew the book was pulpy, but good lord!
Ha! I hoped you were kidding, but it's a testimony to the stupidity of the EU (or maybe my own) that it wouldn't have been far-fetched at all. The Greedo thing and the C3PO thing are really silly, but it's the Yoda and Chewie thing that just defies all logic. The ways Yoda was misused…just ugh. And then he explains it…
What's great about this is that I can't tell if you are kidding. But even if you are, this all makes perfect sense either way! I'm really kind of glad they are dumping EU as canon, holy crap.
Ugh, just ugh. But, as far as the EU goes, this entry isn't half bad if you can get past all the gobbledygook with all the stupid names at the beginning and the amazing coincidence of running into 4-LOM and Zuckass. But, of course, this galaxy is INCREDIBLY small!
ROTJ fight is indeed epic. When Luke turns the tables…I mean, shit, who expected that? It's powerful and a bit sad, too, to see Luke giving in and also to see Vader just getting schooled. How far he's fallen and all of that, gasping for air at the end of it—the king bad ass from the previous films in a heap on the…
So many great shots and compositions and moments in that duel, damn. Such a great buildup, a few surprises, real emotion. Vader just moves his head and nonchalantly stars pulling shit off the walls, and then he goes in for the kill. It's a fantastic sequence. The PT has nothing to rival it, not even close.
"I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOU, ANI."
So true! I just wanted to see Vader cause all kinds of havoc in his bad-ass suit, but all we got was fucking "nooooooooooo" and standing on the bridge of a goddamned Star Destroyer.
But…but..one more lap! And Sandpeople firing and grunting. And one more lap. And one more lap. Fuck it, I'm out.
Indeed. He missed his chance with the ION cannon girl. She probably perished in the battle, too, but I'm sure she has an elaborate backstory somewhere in the EU.
* Berman looks shell-shocked after seeing rough cut of The Phantom Menace *
Indeed! Plus, Frank Oz really made that little dude come to life in an amazing way. Voice work, movements—I mean, it's really something. Better than the CGI monstrosity jumping around in the prequels. Goddamnit, now I'm all upset again.
Very true, and I'm always struck by the amateurish staging and general awkwardness of that film, although I still watch it whenever it's on.
So damn good. That last scene with the strawberries as well as the airplane crash are two of the best things I've ever seen.
That's a pretty good list! Hard to believe Spielberg didn't win during that 1-2 punch of 81-82. Hell, I'd argue even Tootsie should have won instead of Gandhi in 82 and even Moonstruck could have snuck in for 87. Still can't believe stuff like Driving Miss Daisy and Terms of Endearment won. Ah, the 80s.
