Star Wars Day = Meh

Posted by Darthvender on May 4, 2010, 6:17 p.m.

Well, after school I started watching Episode II and III of Star Wars, in honour of Star Wars Day, and boy do I wish I hadn't watched anything at all. The prequel trilogy is by far the worst part of the Star Wars series, excluding the Clone Wars, and that doesn't count, because it's an immature poo-poo head. I know I can't say anything about the prequels that hasn't been done already, but they suck. The only episode worth watching is Episode III, and only because it is very important to the hexalogy and includes several great battles. I must say that my favourite part of the ENTIRE movie is Darth Vader's first mechanical breath. It is truly inspirational.

I spent the day wearing a clonetrooper helmet, even though I had to take it off occasionaly in order to, y'know, breath. It also doesn't have a very good air vent in it, meaning that the lens fogs up and I can't see a damn thing. The helmet's alright and has an adjustable harness in the upper part of the helmet which is adjustable so that my head can actually fit in it. The only downside is my glasses can't fit inside the helmet without breaking. I got it at a garage sale for I think it was 5 bucks.

Speaking of said garage sale, I also picked up 2 games: Corvette and NFS Carbon for the PS2. Corvette quite frankly sucks and the physics are all wrong. NFS Carbon, which actually looks like it might be fun, simply does not load on my PS2. It begins loading, then simply crashes. I've searched through probably about 20 pages of Google and found some people who encounter the same problem, but many are ignored. If any of you know how to solve this, it would be most appreciated.

So, yeah, that's about my day summed up, so I'm going to continue geeking my day up. Ciao!

PS: How exactly does one create a custom banner? I realize there must be a restriction in size and stuff, so I'd like to know.

I like all 6 movies.

I guess it's a matter of opinion, but the majority votes that the prequels aren't as great as the original trilogy. It is mostly criticized for its poor acting and scripts. And Jar Jar.

What's wrong with the prequels? I liked them more than the original trilogy actually. There was more going on and it was less predictable. Jar Jar as he is was a poor move though :P

Jar Jar is by far the worst idea ever. he doesn't even look well designed.

Apparently it has been quoted from ol' Lucas himself that Jar Jar was placed in the movie for kids. I'd rather the movies had stayed more gritty than kid-friendly. The ewoks are another thing created to make the hexalogy more kid-friendly. They DO look kind of cute, but they still just don't fit.

Classic case of sales over style.

As for the banner, the default banners are 580x80 and I reckon you should probably aim for a similar size. You can upload .jpg, .png and .gif for images. There's a setting in your preferences under "User Page" to change the banner (once you've uploaded the image to the file manager).
