    Trandoshans - Bossk was one of them. They hunted Wookies for the Empire.

    Bossk was arguably second only to Fett in the hierachy of the 6 "Hunters" Vader hired (Fett, Bossk, Dengar, IG88, 4-LOM, Zuckuss)

    Considering the OP and the topic she chose, I'd say it's a great improvement.

    Actually yes, I've been involved in the production of similar shows. Much of it will be faked one way or another, trust me on that. A show like this is no more 'real' than Big Brother or Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents.

    You don't want to know what goes on in the production offices, from selecting participants, to setting up scenes, to not merely splicing but editing footage beyond recognition.

    Yes. People have died trying to impress viewers - and that's the professionals. The amateurs tend to take even more risks, which is why reality TV tends to be so 'sensational'.

    Isn't hypocrisy a sin?

    And just to really turn this into a flame war - I was never a big Star Wars fan. :zzz:

    As much as i have enojoyed this thread and the comedy stylings of one notorious Mr. Hannibal (my new go to dude for all things galaxy far far away related) i can't help but think it is done now.

    cuongnhugirl posted a topic looking for fellow fans and though i don't share her optimism for the subject matter i respect her choice to watch it and ask other fans for thoughts on it.

    Not just Storm Troopers, I find the whole story arc cliched and predictable. I would much rather see the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant done right rather than a cheap little fantasy like Star Wars.

    And I think I've assured that deer will not enter into this thread for at least the next few hundred posts. ;) Or it'll be deleted.

    That was completely incidental to the story though. I mean really, it's impact was nothing, it was a twist thrown in for no particular reason which added no depth or complexity to either character.

    Simply the dynamic between the two characters was so shallow and meaningless that this revelation was pointless.

    Compare this, on the other hand, to something like the final revenge scene in the Princess Bride. Despite being a comedy Inigo's love and lust for revenge over his father's death comes through so clearly, despite the fact that his father never appears in the film, that I would rate the family relationship there way, way above anything in Star Wars.

    I'm so happy, I thought I was alone with my dislike of Star Wars on this forum. What next? You hate Star Trek too?

    When was such geekery acceptable?

    (Waits for the predictable "ban" reply ;) )

    Edit: Princess Bride - highly underrated.

    Never liked Star Trek. Not the orginal or any of what came after. Just didn't float my boat. The film re-boot was alright.

    (Waits for Frodo-geddon to start in 3, 2, 1....)
