Friends bought me pizza and a star wars cake and watched the OT last night for my Birthday. It was awesome.

Stop it, please.

[Lenny]

I'm not a Star Wars fan but that Xbox looks pretty sweet.

[Revolution Number 9]

Gonna be honest and say that looks completely f***ing awesome.

[Tisd09]

bump!! Maybe this thread can be used for the geekdom??

[HansDownerpantz]

I don't really get how Star Wars geeks have came about like, it isn't like theres a constant stream of new material coming out for it is there? Theres just 6 average movies, a few games and a few spin off animations or some s***.

I can understand comic nerds, there's loads of s*** there to love.

[Sewelly]

The original trilogy are not 'average movies'.

[mrmojorisin75]

holy s***, there's a kinect star wars lightsaber game?

surely it'd be the biggest selling game ever?!

Absolutely amazed I've come into this thread for the first time and LesPaul isn't the only poster.

He hasn't even posted on this page, the f*** lads?

There IS a constant stream of Star Wars. There's an animated TV show which runs from October to March every year (which also had a film), there's a s*** load of books released every year plus a few video games. Go into a Toy Shop and you'll still see Star Wars toys on the shelf.

Type in Star Wars Expanded Universe. That'll f*** you up.

Went to see Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 3D tonight. Putting it in here because I'll be killed if I mention it in the film thread
I enjoyed it. The 3D is the way I think it should be done. Minimal but just enough to give the picture depth. As someone else said its more of a HD effect than a 3D. But f*** that. I just wanted to see the Wars on the big screen (been just over 6 and half years ffs).
The podrace is great (I focused in more on the sound this time actually. Star Wars NEEDS to be seen and heard on the big screen) but it was the little things that stood out for me like when Anakin fires up the pod in his back yard for the first time. The way all the parts moved never looked so real. Heck, I never even noticed the movement before. There were lots of nice nerdy details I picked out that I had never noticed before. I thought the special effects looked good and have held up well despite its age.

You'd be a f***ing clown to go watch it if you didn't like the film in the first place

[Kaizero]

CGI and special effects have been updated, probably why they looked good for their age.

Already given my thoughts in the film thread, pretty much the same as what you just said.

They're the same as what's on the bluray though and the only that changed on that was Yoda is now CG instead of that awful puppet
Of course, you could just be trying to wind me up

Going to the pitchas to see it this Tuesday.

Acquiring the original trilogy at the moment, think I'll have a marathon tomorrow. Aint seen them in a good few years.

Nar, IL&M have specced up certain shots for the 3D conversion due to, well, conversion issues. All in all not very noticeable, so in that respect it was a wind-up. But definiately improves things as a whole.

I'd read an interview with John Knoll. Stuff like Holograms had to be touched up because of the conversion. I assume that's what you were on about.


Will probably watch the others now over the next few weeks. Very few (if any) Attack of the Clones figures coming out under hasbro's vintage collection this year so it looks like AOTC will get a release.
