sheesh, nit pick much? ok, fine: "oh! these droids were around when your father turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader and we fought and i caused him to become hideously scarred and turn into big helmeted cyborg freak!"::breathes in::
Seeing episode IV after the III shows clearly that back then Lucas had no idea whatsoever of his characters past. Ben Kenobi doesn't recognize rather unique droids he encountered already in the past,...numerous C3PO's in various colors walk around
ummm, i think you just answered your own question here, Threepio was just a protocol droid, we saw a matte white one on the death star in IV, a silver one in V, and another silver one in I so... c3po isn't exactly "unique"
there's also the theory that Ben knew, but wasn't just going to come out and say "oh! these droids were around when your father turned to the dark side and i caused him to become hideously scarred and turn into darth vader!"
Vader seems to be subordinate of Tarkin the Death Star was Tarkin's domain, he had absolute authority on board. Vader was there to make sure that Tarkin was doing his job, he could only interfere under certain circumstances. And they didn't exactly see eye-to-eye, remember "do not be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed...."
huh? i've never had a problem with Cast Members harrassing me. As a general rule, Disney CM's are the most courteous, friendly and helpfull customer-service workers anywhere. One thing Disney parks have never done, is the "hard sell" for things like souvenier photos, or annoying boardwalk-style games. They're there, but never pushed on you. The same can't be said for Universal or Six Flags however.....
li'l Boba Fett is marked on the "bad guy" side, so when he's in the parking lot, running around with no weapons, the hero characters will gun him down as he runs away.
My girlfriend and i got the game at a friend's urging who had a blast playing it with his kids. We love it. The free-form mode reminds me of saturday afternoons on the living room floor with a box of action figures and a playset or two (while the lego element is fun, you can't actually build your own kits) You can take on the levels at your own pace and play around with the little secrets here and there. Even though we beat the game, we're still going back to try to get all the minikit packs and unlock the final chapter. If you like the game, look for the short cartoon "Revenge of the Brick" on cartoonnetwork.com
TFA was not talking about changing history, it was about errors in the digital clean-up process. How does removing scratches and dust equate to changing history?
yeah, some of us beekeepers checked out the mini-arg linked from the article, i think the whole thing was solved in a matter of hours actually
but, this is coming from a writer who couldn't get the lead character's name right (its just Melissa, no "the") and couldn't even get the name of the original A.I. game correct (everyone just calls it "the beast" now, even 4orty2wo)
From that whiny little pissant Sean Hanity, to that aging old bore Rush Limbaugh, and especially the foaming-at-the-mouth paranoid weirdo Michael Savage, they all do the same thing: they never let a liberal get a word in edgewise without pulling out some strawman argument then hanging up on them.
you don't need references, just listen for 5 minutes (if they actually let someone with a dissenting viewpoint on the show that is)
oh come on, what would YOU know about it????::looks around::
oh.... right.............. hehe, sorry

The Rise of ARGs

The final event took place in sometown close to MS offices I think. (meaning it was a waste of time for 90% of players)
the final event was a 4-city simultaneous event in Texas (Dallas i believe), New York, Chicago, and LA that unfortunately got gate-crashed by a bunch of mouth-breathing Halo fanboys. The LA event was the best and most successfull, due to the fact that the PM's from 4orty2wo productions showed up.
although, the "real" players were busy solving a final puzzle that involved phoning the other locations and talking to Sean Stewart(LA) to actually care about playing Halo 2 that night.
As for "winning" something material, a few beekeepers won Xboxes or headsets at the Live events. And now, players of "The Art of the Heist" have already won PocketPC devices among other high tech rewards, and rumours abound of one lucky player recieving the red Audi A3 at game's end.
yeah really, and even though i don't really think the rap portion of the song melds well into 2d's lilting tune about windmills, i admit that i can't get: "don't stop, get it, get it. We are your captains in it Steady watch me navigate, a-ha a-ha-ha-haaaaa"
its not that complicated really if Palpy sprung a droid army or a clone army out of nowhere on the Republic, the Jedi and the member planets would shut him down and kick him out of power so fast his head would spin, dismantle the army and lock him away forever
he used a bunch of idiots with a cheap disposable military force as an excuse to bring in his "real" powerful army of clones. Then he uses the war as a way to get emergency powers granted, and now there's nothing the Jedi or Republic member worlds can do about it.
yeah, grain elevators out on the horizon when you're driving on those long straight roads at 95mph, they stay so tiny for the longest time... little, little, little, little.... then BAM it just whizzes past you and you see another one, waaaaaaay out on the horizon, little, little, little.......
yeah, my friend asked me the other day "what's a browser?" she's only 28, college graduate, its not like my mom asking me or anything (my mom actually doesn't know the difference between Firefox and IE, she's using Firefox now)

i'd rather have you killed and move my team in to take over while your new body is being cloned

i got my first phish email this morning trying to get my paypal info; the link went to an ip address in Korea
within minutes, i browsed to slashdot and saw this was the current top story

Darwin? hmm, i know he's an elderly gentleman, but, since when did Darwin wear a hooded black robe and cackle maniacally from a huge black chair?
we did this in college, holding the tubes with a tesla coil between us, as long as the light was within 3 feet or so of the coil, it lit up
TFA was not talking about changing history, it was about errors in the digital clean-up process. How does removing scratches and dust equate to changing history?
hmm, ok, apparently the mini-arg is still going, i guess East Bay Express is having some fun

How about a fanny-pack style case to carry the unit and games in?
yeah...... *crickets chirping*
and you'd... wear this in public? i seeeeeee.......
*snicker*
no no! it sounds like a good idea! uh, stylin! yeah.....
its an easy solution really; you just need to remove your common sense particle first, then you can have Google and no-Google
sure, easy....

mod parent up
mod grandparent down
grandparent confused dialouge with plot and is somehow mod'd insightful, parent straightened it out
yeah really, and even though i don't really think the rap portion of the song melds well into 2d's lilting tune about windmills, i admit that i can't get:
"don't stop, get it, get it.
We are your captains in it
