Tribute to Nien Nunb and other Star Wars Bit Parts
Nien Nunb writes "This Star Wars feature tries to give the little guys a leg up, like the aforementioned Nien Nunb, who only shows up for one action sequence, but he was copilot of the ship that destroyed the second Death Star. Star Wars is full of forgotten faces like his and you can see all their wretchedness here."
It had be a lot damn less annoying then that goddamn poppup ad
Multi Page clickthroughs + fancy popup adds = Gave up about #6.
Yes, thanks.
Great, I was hoping for another Star Wars thread to air a complaint if mine. I'm getting really sick of people ditching on Star Wars Episodes I and II (despite not even having seen Ep. II yet!), and holding up Lord of the Rings like some holy grail, proclaiming "Look! This is how it should have been!"
Well I'm sorry, but I've seen both movies, and LOTR was looooooong and boooooring. I didn't read the book. I didn't read any of the Star Wars books, either. But for entertainment value, if my friends and I were in Blockbuster(TM) and the choice was SW:TPM or LOTR, I personally find Ep. I far more entertaining.
Sure, LOTR is this great, untouchable, epic work, but unless you're a basement-dwelling D&D-loving introvert, it's not really that great. It was too dramatic. I mean, come on - 3 hours??? And they didn't even manage to finally destroy the ring at the end of it??? Gimmie a break. It was waaaay too drawn out. I mean, OK, sure, they have to destroy this ring. I GET THE POINT! Just destroy it already! I mean geez, just how far away is this mystical, magical volcano, anyway!?
But the good news is, we have 2 more whole movies of mono-plot, unresolving boredom to look forward to. Sure, it had its moments. And the effects were great. But you know what? Those exact same things apply to SW:TPM, and yet the know-it-all Ebert-wannabes here refuse to concede it.
Gaa! It just drives me mad to hear these guys rail against SW:AOTC before they've even seen it, criticising Lucas for wanting to make enough money to actually pay for Episode 3, and knowing that these same hypocrites are still going to pay to see Episode 2! Just so they can say "I told you so." Well guess what, Lucas will still have your money, and he doesn't care why you go see it, just as long as you go see it. And to see them turn around and hold up this agonizingly long and overhyped LOTR like some work of perfection just makes me wanna scream. So you can consider this my cyber-scream: Gaaaaa!
