For everyone claim of WOW being lame I just have to ask, with population numbers like it has what does that make the other games?
For everyone's claim of McDonalds being lame I just have to ask, with population numbers like it has what does that make the other restaurants?
(Having never played WoW, I know next to nothing about it. I just hate that argument.)
I only use Mal because he's an example of an actual badass as opposed to people just calling him badass in an attempt to disparage George Lucas. I believe "dramatic foil" is the term.
George Lucas had to add Greedo shooting first due to misconceptions people got due to Han shooting first. Hence, "Han didn't shoot first, even when he shot first". There was no change in character from that, just a clarification.
C - If you think Greedo missing his target at 3 feet makes blasters believably inaccurate or explains away the Stormtrooper Effect [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormtrooper_effect] you're crazy. It makes no sense for Greedo to miss, period.
If you think Star Wars fits any definition of "believable", you're crazy. Star Wars operates on pure suspension of disbelief, period.
If "the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant compared to the power of the Force" then why did Darth Vader build the Death Star in the first place?
The reduction in technology after the fall of the Jedi probably took with it all the midichlorian scanners. Anakin probably could have built his own but given what generally happens in the SW universe an individual particularly strong in the Force could probably be better at detecting another being strong in the Force than the MC scanner, especially because the latter requires a blood sample.
Also note that I said "don't care" rather than "don't know". Small nitpick. (The Emperor knew about midichlorians too.)
It was called Holy because it was sanctioned by the Pope and Roman because it thought itself the successor to the Roman empire. New discussion: The Christian right is neither Christian nor right. Discuss.
I'd feel about the same as I would if I had only seen the first two movies--slightly annoyed at the cliffhanger ending(yes, the ending of the first movie felt like a cliffhanger to me, and yes, I liked the second better than the first). There are only about 10 minutes I would have cut from the sequels--the dancing bit in the second movie. That scene should have ended with Morpheus' speech.
The third movie provided good closure.
Let me guess: You think Han shooting first makes him "badass", don't you? Greedo was awake, facing him, and armed. He also announced his intentions. Shooting Greedo at that point makes him about as badass as a chicken in a tin can that doesn't screech "EX-TER-MI-NATE!". The only change Greedo shooting first makes is establishing the blaster as a weapon that kills your accuracy(consistent with what we've already seen with Stormtroopers--at least SG-1 explains the crappiness of staff cannons by saying that they're not meant to be efficient anyways) and slightly decreasing Han's reaction time. If you want "badass", go see Mal Reynolds. In Serenity alone he shoots two unarmed men, three if you count the one about to be taken away by Reavers. He's not afraid of throwing a guy into his engines.
In addition, the Jedi who survived--Obi-Wan and Yoda--were of the "branch" of Jedi that basically didn't care about midichlorians. Qui-Gon was of the "branch" that did care, just to give an example.
You should probably use a variant of the power-sucking that the Ori perform. I also believe Steve Jobs is working on such as well in order to replace exploding Sony batteries.
Notice how you completely dodge the issue of consoles still having a horrible interface(console controllers) for FPS and RTS games. (And no, the Wii doesn't make this any better.)
No, parent modded -1 Copy+Paste Troll. Has nothing to do with groupthink(which is what Slashdot trolls concentrate on to avoid the fact that they're jackasses)
The blame for that is more on the TV than on you. The TV doesn't like depth, depth has to come in disguise(like the new BSG episode 3x06) or else it gets whisked away.

Even the Sahara desert?

No 7 button. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.

The iPod's had more space than Nomad for well over a year or two now.
I had to do more searching for buttons when trying to play Halo then I did with every PC FPS I've ever played, combined.

Whoever modded that Overrated? Definitely working for NiD.

vgcats...compared to it, Penny Arcade looks like xkcd.
No, seriously, the prequels are better done than vgcats.
YOU! ARE! A! TOY! A CHILD'S PLAYTHING!
Slashdot's lameness filter hates Toy Story.
Wanting to do it first and wanting it watched first are two different things despite the high correlation.
Register. Then we'll talk. ;)
It's also a boondoggle if it turns out to cost a huge amount and never gets used.
If real is what you see and hear, then "real" is just electrical signals in the brain.
It looks like a Markov chain to me.
In addition, it wasn't under the cover of "astronomy", it was under the cover of "deep-space telemetry".
is what happens when a scandal comes up involving it. I hope to god the media doesn't call it Stargate...
