Star Wars Club ? May the force be with you
 
I don't know if this'll get much attention but... hey, it's worth a shot? I'll try to get a CSS put up for this later. I suck at doing it, so if anyone wants to do something to make it more pretty... feel free to do it and let me know! :3 Also, this is my first club I've ever made in a very long time. You are welcome to suggest improvements etc to make it better~

When did you first start watching?


I saw some of The Empire Strikes Back on television when I was very small like 5. It was pretty intense and scary for me at that age, but I was still curious about the bits and pieces I had seen. It was memorable and interesting. It was a couple of years later that I became a fully-fledged fan when the originals A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were rereleased in theaters with the alterations.

I really enjoyed them. This was the stuff my parents grew up with, so it was nostalgic for them to share it with me too. I bought lots of actions figures and then watched all of the prequels, and saw the first Disney movie The Force Awakens.

I read fanficition ocassionally, check out fan theories and Star Wars related trivia and documentary material.

Name: Jay!

Favorite Character(s): Obi-wan. Ahsoka. Jyn Erso. Rey (1st movie mostly tbh). Saw Gerrera.


When did you first start watching? Well, it's funny actually. I kinda knew about Star Wars but always thought it was pretty shit for some reason?? And like I never got to watch it. But well in 2015 the 7th movie was coming out and me and some friends who had never seen any SW actually went through the six movies so that we could watch the new one. We watched the original trilogy and then the prequels. Then I got really hooked and loved the 7th, but I didn't like the 8th too much. Before that, though, I watched all Clone Wars and I'm going through Rebels now! Also have some comics. Even new ones like Dr. Aphra. Anyways, I watched Rogue One too and I loved it! It's probs my fave out of all the movies. Jyn is amazing. And so is Cassian tbh.

Favorite Character: Jaina Solo, with a shoutout to Thrawn because... he's one bad-ass Admiral that should have been in Episode VII and VIII.

I've been watching Star Wars since I was three and have watched all 8 movies(9 when Episode IX is released next year). Tack on Rogue One, Solo and Animated features. Clone Wars series was better than Rebels but Thrawn brought it back to relevancy, if not on par with the prequel series(wherein if you hadn't seen Clone Wars, some things didn't make sense like with Sabine and Mandalore). Its a shame how it ended though as Thrawn deserved better.

I've read all the theories regarding Rey being Jaina and Kylo being Jacen and its plausible to say the least but I just feel the books would have been a better story line as opposed to regurgitating Episodes 4-6 with Empire as the First Order. Oh and would Spaceballs be welcomed within this club? I mean its a Star Wars parody after all.

starseed galaxy auticorn November 24th, 2018 7:30 AM

Honestly, I forgot all about this... O___O

Also, who is best robot? C3PO, R2D2 or BB8? :P I can't really choose between R2 and BB8 tbh. :c

Favorite Characters: Porgs, Luke Skywalker, Rey, and Leia.

When did you first watch the series:

I watched my Dad's VHS copies of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi around age seven or eight. My dad was a huge fan of the original trilogy and had a Chewbacca plush when A New Hope came out in '77, which his mom threw away after he dropped it on a heater. Around the same time, I had watched the Clone Wars series on Cartoon Network along with playing the Wii game that came along with it.

A few years later, I had went with my film class to see The Force Awakens on opening day, which kind of helped since a cousin of mine had sadly taken his life a few weeks earlier. It was hard to go through that kind of thing, but I guess the film helped with the grieving process. In my senior year of high school, I had gone with my film class to see The Last Jedi, which was pretty meh to be honest. I don't really know that much about the expanded universe besides the Blackwing Virus, but I'm willing to learn more.

When did you first start watching?

I'm not sure how old I was, but I stayed at my cousins' house for the night. Well, I couldn't sleep because it was a new place and such. I came downstairs and told their mom about not sleeping. She put in a Star Wars movie for me. At the time, I had never even HEARD of the franchise... but after that, I started to learn more and more about it and eventually ended up becoming a huuuuuuge Star Wars fan. :3

So, there's my story for you all~ Feel free to discuss any Star Wars topics you can think of! ^w^

Great Sidious's ghost! About time!

Name: Amsin
Favourite Character(s): Finn, Han Solo, Rey, Kylo Ren, Orson Krennic
When did you first start watching? Once upon a time...
... I contracted tonsillitis when I was ten or thereabouts, and it made for a lot of nausea and misery. The weather was warm and heartening on that fateful day, and I was sitting on a mattress in the house - demolishing mandarins ten at a time while living high on my last penicillin fix. There was a brief argument about what order to watch them in, and it was decided to watch the originals first, a decision that pissed me off at the time because well, I was easily pissed off. This was my first time watching Star Wars, and I fell in love with the vibes I got from seeing the Tatooine desert and the sand crawlers that rumbled past: operated by droves of miniature scavengers who were cantankerous and formidable in spirit... brilliant.

I became a fan, but it wasn't until I re-watched them all a few times that my enduring adoration kicked in. Then a few years later I saw The Force Awakens, and something inside me came alive. Since then, I've been utterly mad about Star Wars. I've seen them all, Christmas Special excepted, and I was a big follower of Star Wars: The Clone Wars but things got iffy and it became harder for me to access it.

I've written quite a few Star Wars fan fictions and I'm regularly plotting more. It got me into the sci fi genre and it's what brought my attention to my true calling - becoming an actor.

Alright, Kimi, with your permission for a topic or two...

What is your favourite SW movie and why?

Fairy November 27th, 2018 7:13 AM

yes yes yes i would like to join yes please!

Name: Fairy
Favorite Character(s): Darth Bane and Qui-Gon Jinn
When did you first start watching? So i was actually late to the Star Wars party. I didn't sit down and watch the movies until about 2009 give or take. I remember thinking it was too complicated and political for me. But when I finally started to get it, I fell in absolutely love with it! The movies, the books, the comics, the video games - I've consumed as much Star Wars media as I could get my hands on. I know it's all been retconned thanks to Disney, but seriously anyone who loves Star Wars and hasn't read Rule of Two really, really should!! One of the best pieces of Star Wars lore out there, imo!

To answer Amsin's question, I'm not sure... I kind of forgot what movie is which. ^^; I think my favorites are the ones with Leia and Han Solo. I really love their relationship because they were so sweet together!

!!WARNING SPOILERS IN SPOILER TAG READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Spoiler:
I was really upset when they killed off Han Solo in The Force Awakens though. That was so heartwrenching and unexpected!

Just an FYI, Harrison Ford wanted that to happen so that’s why they did it. In fact, he was kind of hoping it happened in Episodes 4-6 but it never transpired. As for favorite movie, I’ll go with Clone Wars and Episode 2. Even though the writing and acting in Episodes 1-3 is subpar, I just like the manipulation by Palpatine to get the outcome he wanted and the ending with the Clones marching off to war is the birth of the Empire as I see it(even if it didn’t officially happen until the end of Episode 3). Favorite era by far is Galactic Civil War though since my favorite game is this:



Only game I’ll consider in its class is Tie Fighter. Everything else in the flight sim genre isn’t as good imo. Granted that may be nostalgia talking and nothing against FPS(Battlefront) or RTS(Empire at War... really good game with awesome mods...).

Since I knew nothing of the spoilers, I was shocked when that happened! I was like 'naaaaaah, this isn't happening. No way, José'. But yep. Strong stuff.

My favourite SW films would be The Last Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back. I saw the former in cinema, so that trebled the awesomeness of the experience. TESB is just plain epic, but Return of the Jedi is a big runner up. Rogue One was also very engaging and fun, if not a little short on whimsy. But the dogfights make for its every shortcoming, and an Australian villain! How bloody excellent!

I actually like the Prequels. They're sort of shoddy, but are good fun and very nostalgic. The Battle of Geonosis and the factory sequence preceding it were my favourite part of that particular trilogy.

The prequels brought about the most despised character in existence: Jar Jar Binks. So much so that in Empire at War, this became a fun thing to do:



I rest my case. It’s so fun playing as Empire though in Galactic Conquest... even if annoying Ion Cannons make it harder than it has to be.

Ah, that infernal Gungan!

... yeah, I don't really mind him. I don't hate any Star Wars characters, but when CGI Tarkin got bitchy on my main man Krennic...! Grand Moff git. Who doesn't want to Ion Cannon that darn face?

On an unrelated note, this is bloody epic. Cracks the hell out of me.

Spoiler:

Hmm I'll fix your video for you :P As for Tarkin, he was an @sshole of the highest order and a political rival of Krennic. Tarkin became so powerful that he even outstripped Vader to become the quasi-right hand man of the Emperor. In Empire Campaign of Empire at War, Tarkin orders Vader(and you) to subjugate Geonosis for the Death Star project. Emperor also orders you to crush Mon Calamari wherein you have to fight 2 Calamari Cruisers with Victory Class Star Destroyers(and that's a mismatch... even for Imperial Star Destroyers).

This could do with a revival.

Favourite Star Wars villain?

I reckon Vader will score top ratings, but I'd like to see who comes second.

Definitely going to have to go with Darth Vader! I'm sorry... he's just so awesome. <3

Most iconic villain there is! Not unjustly, either. And that Rogue One ending scene... the whole world over, people were wetting themselves just out of the sheer epicness of it.

Got a big soft spot for Krennic, though. And Kylo, obviously, though he is hardly a villain in the true sense of the word. He will inevitably be redeemed in Episode 9, seeing as how he represents frustrated youth - the Disney company will hardly let him be cut down just because he acted out of anger! If he doesn't get redeemed then that's probably the most negative message any movie could give, lmao.

But some Salacious Crumb love, please. That bastard was brilliant.

Well, let's not forget that he also has the most epic theme song. XD


Homeskulled Kid December 15th, 2018 10:41 PM

Definitely. But as far as Star Wars tunes go, that cantina ditty is still groovin'... da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da da-DA-DA

By the by, did anyone else notice that Gollum from Lord of the Rings is an older and more smartly dressed Snoke? Which makes me think that Mordor may have been Mustefar, and that an escaping ship took him out of the mountain and bloody hell this is good.

Okay, more dumb questions!

Who's prettier - Padme, Jyn, Leia or Rey?

I'm not doing a who's more handsome question because that's awful and embarrassing. Althouuuugh, I'm very interested in seeing who'd say what.

CodeHelmet December 16th, 2018 9:37 AM

Hard to pick which one but I’m disqualifying Padme for poor acting or writing(or both). Jyn died so that kind of hurts her, even if she had balls that the other four lacked. Rey is a reluctant force user but is not as strong as my number one pick in Leia who earns number one spot by being portrayed by Carrie Fisher and did scenes in Episode IV with no bra on.

For the guys, if we’re being brutally honest here... who beats Lando? Also, for your gaming pleasure, I present to you a gaming mod that makes me tingle all over:

Lyrics:
Spoiler:
A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the Federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy...

Oh

[Chorus]
My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin', "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

[Verse 1]
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave?
But he can use the Force, they say
Ah, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy
We started singin'

[Chorus]
My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin', "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

[Verse 2]Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
They interviewed the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here"
"Just stick it in your pointy ear"
"I still will teach this boy"

He was singin'

[Chorus]
My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin', "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

[Bridge]
We caught a ride back to Naboo
Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end, some Gunguns died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy
And I was singin'

[Chorus]
My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin', "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We were singin'

[Chorus]
My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin', "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi

Okay, well that was awesome. Now I want to give some Star Wars songwriting a try. Behold an impromptu rap!

Rey tracks the dunes
Crap wages, been waiting for ages for a family that won't show
There's this much green in the galaxy? She didn't know
Then there's Finn, a medley of cowardice and bravery
He'll blow up shit while Poe does a flyby
Kylo wants that piece of junk blown out of the sky
Snoke is his pimp, but not for long
One man out of the way and he's an army strong
Yeah, yeah, break it down


I'm frighteningly brilliant at this.

And Rey is the best of the ladies, with Jyn a close runner-up. I mean, sure, Leia and Padme! But no lightsabers or quarterstaffs? Pfft.
