The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Slammed]

Friends of mine have the R2D2 mug and give it to me whenever we visit because it's about the only thing out of their entire Star Wars collection that I actually recognise.

I have like 6 Star Wars mugs hahaha, all gifts though.

I have zero Star Wars things. I remember watching the first three movies when they came out (and I know calling them "the first three" infuriates some Star Wars fans these days) but I never got interested after Jedi, in fact I got deliberately disinterested. Our friends have the Millennium Falcon and Death Star Lego sets as well as all this shit I don't recognise. It's fascinating conversations around there some days

 

[CiG]

I like the original films and that's about it. I wouldn't really call myself a Star Wars fan anymore since there's more stuff I dislike than like as it stands.

 

[Slammed]

I think I last watched the original ones in about 97 on video when there was a 20 year anniversary release. I'm not a fan and while I probably could watch those three again I doubt I would because there is other things to watch. We've got most if not all of them here on DVD because my wife likes them but I haven't watched them.

Alec Guinness is the best, one of my all time favourite actors, so for that regardless of how much my opinion sours on Star Wars I will always love the first one.

 

[Slammed]

The problem always lies in the sequels. Hollywood is not good at making sequels, unless of course you count Sharknado, or maybe Children Of The Corn

 

[CiG]

Personally I think The Empire Strikes Back is probably the superior film, but holy fuck they fucked up Return of the Jedi.

 

[Slammed]

I didn't dislike Empire but I do remember liking the original better. Jedi was saved by Ewoks

 

[CiG]

Saved by Ewoks? lmfao. They were a dogshit idea, teddy bears with stone-age weaponry defeating an intergalactic fascist military force, great idea Lucas.

You read into deeper than I did, all I saw was cute furry little creatures in overcoats running around the jungle making funny noises

 

[Sophii]

A New Hope was my fav of the original 3.

The ending to Empire Strikes Back is one of the best though. Super dramatic on Hamills part, hahaha.

 

[Sophii]

@CiG the Star Wars novels and the Clone Wars (CG animated show) are pretty killer

 

[Slammed]

The cute furry creatures comment probably explains a lot about why I don't appreciate the newer movies but the fact that I do not refer to any of them as the "new hope" probably says just as much.

 

[CiG]

You're probably a huge fan of Jar Jar Binks.

 

[Slammed]

I know the name but nothing else. Is she cute and furry too?

 

[CiG]

Not re... I mean, yeah sure it is.
