How long until Lucas puts out the "Star Wars: Trivial Pursuit Special Edition DVD"?

  Well in trival pursuit you have to form the answers to form a question. IE: Alex would say Hans; you would say Who shot first. He might then also say he would have acepted Who stepped on Jaba's tail in a odd cgi skit.

  "Hans"? "HANS"? That's it. You are no longer welcome here. Turn in your geek card at the door and go sit in the pit of shame.

  Instead of "Hans" it should be "hans", which is his login name on the Galactic Smuggler BBS, which, as the we all know, is first name plus first letter of last name. So the g-parent actually gets geekpoints for using Solo's login name.

  The card reads "In the Mos Eisley cantina scene in A New Hope in which Han Solo meets with, and kills, the bounty hunter Greedo, who shoots first?"
  
  The back of the card (the answer) reads: "NO, YOU'RE WRONG!!!"

  Great... how many star wars "fans" are going about the world saying did you see the cantina scene with HANS AND GUIDO...

Oh boy. A SW story on Slashdot. Let me sum up all the posts to save us all time (and see how much karma I can burn):
- Lucas ruined SW.
- Spielberg should have directed it.
- Han shot first, damnit!
- Oh boy, Lucas is milking us for more money after ruining a great story.
- Why can't they make a movie out of the books, those were good!
- Don't let Lucas direct another movie based on a book, he'll ruin it.
- Lucas has replaced good story telling with glitzy special effects.
- @#$%ing dancing Ewoks. What was Lucas smoking?
- (insert random Jar-Jar rant of your choice)
Did I miss anything?

Another question... by Taulin · 2004-10-26 01:17 · Score: 4, Funny

I can already see this question in the game... "How many editions of the original Star Wars were released to the public? Including VHS, DVD, LD and CED".
however... by Savatte · 2004-10-26 02:18 · Score: 2, Funny

in the special boxed set version of the game, han and greedo move at the same time.

I just have to say that's the funniest "from the dept." line I have ever seen here. (Not that that's saying much.)
