11,000 Words on the Star Wars Trilogy DVDs
The Barking Dog writes "On Monday, September 27th DVD Verdict posted a bantha-sized review of the Star Wars Trilogy. Written by ten people and weighing in at over 11,000 words, it's probably the net's most thorough, extensive review of not only the DVDs, but Star Wars's impact on sci-fi and filmmaking in general. And as one of the contributors, I think that's a good thing."
You are a sucker for purchasing this for the third time.
Repeated 5,500 times?
Bah. Not impressive. Give me 11,000 words written in Gungan, then I'll be impressed.
I'll try again later, but if I see even a paragraph on who shot who at the cantina, I'm going to fall on my lightsaber.
Wouldn't 11 screenshots be just as helpful?

The Cookiethievery review covers every released film, including a preview of the next one. Almost required visiting for any hardcore Star Wars fan (will you be standing in line for a week for the next one?)
you're a tool.
It's not the size of the review its how you use it...err..

"Hey I know, I'll submit a story to /. ..." *KABOOOOOOM*
That server went down faster than a barge gaurd in a sarlac pit.
This one gang kept wanting me to join cause I'm pretty good with a bo staff.
I sense a great disturbance in the force.. as if thousands of MySQL connections cried out in anguish, then were silenced.
What? Did you expect him to say "And as one of the contributors, I thought it was a complete waste of time?" Then again, who knows, maybe he's saving that for his review of Ep3.
You mean...
For third time purchase, sucker you are.

Big deal, I hacked my pacemaker to double as an iPod!
If "disco" means "I learn" in Latin, does "discothèque" mean "I learn technology"?

I half expected to see SUCKERS printed 11,000 times...
Does it provide any significant insight not already published about the movies?
The more reviews, the better, I say! Please excuse me, I have to go back to writing my Doom 3 review now.
It would be cool if it didn't suck.
In the time it takes to read through 11K worth of review, you could have watched the movie.
I'm pretty sure we all understand the movie. Afterall, it has been around since the days Carrie Fisher looked hot in a bikini.
Live forever, or die trying.
1. 11 000 words = 22 000 bytes.
2. Assuming an average word is 5 bytes, the text is actually 4 400 words.
3. Repeat.
The review is actually just one quad word in hexadecimal notation: 10CA550CC5.
Oh what the heck:
4. Profit.

Apparetly, yes. Maybe it was your use of the word "lunacy". lunacy.

I agree. What is this Han/Greedo thing? I only remember where Michael shoots first.
Michael gets frisked by Sollozzo, goes into the bathroom and gets the gun behind the toilet. Then, he walks out of the bathroom, whacks the police captain and Sollozzo. He stands up, drops the gun on the floor and walks quickly to the door, where he is picked up by a car.
Now, THAT'S a DVD trilogy worth buying.
One wonders if a Davinci who lived long into old age, might have painted a smile face on top of the Mona Lisa in a fit of senility...

Without "Star Wars", would "Star Trek: TMP" have been possible?
These are the questions that haunt us. What sort of nightmarish world would we today inhabit had there never been a "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"? No, no, it's too horrible even to contemplate. Let us instead give daily thanks in our prayers that there was "Star Wars", and for all the blessings it has brought upon us. For we are huge nerds, and so forever shall be. Amen.
Without "Star Wars", would "Star Trek: TMP" have been possible? Maybe. But much, much more imnportant: without Star Wars, would the Buck Rogers series starring Gil Gerard have been possible?

have you seen the changes Lucas is making to Attack of the Clones??

We're talking about films that are filled with magical people that can levitate things with their minds, fight with their eyes closed, deflect laser blasts with hand-held energy swords, and talk telepathically between space ships, and you don't see how one of these magical people would be able to recognize his own father?

If Yoda so strong in Force is, why words in right order he cannot put?
Yeah. Just made it last night actually...
Why are you here?

This is not the discussion you're looking for. Move along....
You know, I really don't mind Lucas going in and tinkering with SFX, and when he says he puts stuff in he wanted to get in originally but couldn't because of budget and technology, I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Gosh, that sure is nice of you. I'm certain that George Lucas is grateful that you're willing to tolerate his making certain changes to his own creative work.
Han fired first. Period.
What I don't understand is how Lucas could have made such a change without first consulting otis wildflower of Slashdot. Who the hell does he think he is?!?
Yeah, apparently, Darth Vader is Luke's father. I've got to see this for myself!
Not anymore! Lucas decided that his movies shouldn't advocate domestic violence. Therefore, Luke and Vader are hereafter former college roommates. Also, Han now runs away and calls the cops instead of firing back.
It doesn't help, though, that we keep going back to f&^$$ing Tatooine again and again
That's because Tatooine is the source of spice. Without it the empire would come to a standstill because ships could no longer travel through hyperspace. The spice is produced by Sarlaccs and.... oh never mind.
