I won't buy this because I love Star Wars and I want to see the originals. I let my money talk, not an internet petition or what have you. I really wish every fan who hates the changes did the same. Loosing a few million bucks as the Blu Rays languish in the bargain bins would certainly get Lucas' attention.

I cringe when I think of how bad these movies would be if Lucas had had the same creative control he did in the prequels.

I was like that with the original Star Wars action figures. I still have my first one, C3P0. I liked him because he actually looked like the droid. By that same token, I never got Luke Skywalker...he had a big fat head.

You just reminded me of something funny that happened when I was a kid. Around 1981 (I was 11) at the Catholic school I went to one of the nuns gave a lecture to all us boys abut how playing with "dolls" wasn't "gay". She was trying to teach us how to be more tolerant or something...

You took the words right out of my mouth. I'd be surprised if you could even buy the holsters.

You never know...all you have to do is watch "Quigley Down Under" to be able to imagine Tom Selleck in that role.

About 1 second on google...

Places like this are great for Paintball and/or Airsoft.

Any alternative link?

Did anyone else notice Marnie / Antonia's terrible on-again off-again accent? Maybe it's because both my parents have accents and I notice this kind of stuff...but it was the worse fake accent I've heard since the Vietnamese girl from Rambo; First Blood part 2.

Isn't that Desslok from Star Blazers on the right? (Desslar from Space Battleship Yamato)

One of my high school algebra teachers was a pet that year. *sigh*.

From the Wikipedia article;

The Smoot measurement has been kept and re-painted because the police have been using it all these years in accident reports.

I'd really love to know what happens to all this crap after the con...does some nerd in Texas end up with the Spider Man inflatable monster truck???

I shut the episode off after that. I despise product placement. If I wasn't already a loyal New Egg customer I'd boycott Tiger Direct.

There are exactly 2 things here I would even consider buying. I'm kinda glad I didn't fly across the entire country and fight 100k people to go to this shindig.

I re-read your original post 3 times and I don't get all that from it...even knowing what you "meant". I must be a stupid American browncoat for not being able to read your mind.

Wonderbug was definitely up there in the "when I grow up and become rich" list of cars I would own when I was a kid. Someday...someday...

Me too! I remember that episode...I was about 8 and already loved cars, but but...he was so MEAN.
