Educating Quincy (Star Wars)

[Quincy]

Go ahead and teach.

[blueone]

Surely there's an open university course for this?

[Quincy]

FU

Fantasy University

[blueone]

I'd be there in a heartbeat. :lol

[ewok.online]

Actually, SW is technically Sci-Fi Fantasy, due to the advanced technology (hyperspace, gravity wells, harnessed energy weapons) and The Force (unexplainable mythical power).

This thread is going to be Nerd heaven.

[blueone]

Nerd heaven would be a Star Trek thread. SW is beginners sci fi. :P

[Quincy]

So Blue is out of the faculty?

[blueone]

ST > SW


Na na na na na

[Quincy]

this is going to be a great thread

[ewok.online]

:upyours

[blueone]

R2D2 - the android that conveniently forgets that HE CAN FLY!!

[ewok.online]

That shit pisses me off.
Way to go completely Non-Canon, Lucas.

[SkortBrun]

I think it might be for the best if we ignore the prequels in this thread.

[blueone]

Gene Roddenberry would never have phailed like that. :rock

[ewok.online]

I think it might be for the best if we ignore the prequels in this thread.

Agreed.

[blueone]

Oh no, no, no. We talk about SW we talk about it's shortcomings too. :nod

[ewok.online]

We're here to educate Q. I think he knows the Prequels.
And there isn't much EU to go along with the Prequels.
:D

[ewok.online]

Also, Han would destroy Ryker.

[blueone]

Also, Han would destroy Ryker.

It's spelt Riker, dearie. :)

Maybe so but I'd like to see him come up against Data. :D

[Quincy]

Maybe a separate thread for you fan boys to argue the comparative size of George and Gene' wangs is in order.

[ewok.online]

I always forget the spelling.
I actually do like TNG, but it's no SW.

And anyway, you're forgetting one vital part of trying to fight Han.








...Chewbacca.

[blueone]

To make the numbers fair Data's going into battle with his brother, Lore. :cool:

It's not wise to upset a wookiee.

[Tim Simmons]

Is this Trek v Wars?

I don't want to participate.

Call me when its all SW.

[Starlite]

[Sydneyfan]

You guys probably already know this, but just in case, Star Trek XI is currently in production. Eric Bana and Winona Ryder will star along with lots of people I have never heard of.
Cast list and info here:

[ishellmay]

The most important of those being SIMON FUCKING PEGG!

Not that I'm a huge Spaced fan or anything.


*squeee*

:lol I've never watched Spaced, but I really liked Shaun of the Dead.

[ishellmay]

ohmygodohmygodohmygod.

You need to come to Melbourne and we need to have a Spaced marathon.

[Sydneyfan]

ohmygodohmygodohmygod.

You need to come to Melbourne and we need to have a Spaced marathon.

Is it on cable or have I missed the boat entirely?

[ishellmay]

Actually, I think it was on ABC 2 recently.

Maybe the local video shop has it?

They probably do. I shall check it out :upyours

[ishellmay]

I'll warn you now, you might develop a slight to massive crush on Mark Heap.

[Sydneyfan]

I'll warn you now, you might develop a slight to massive crush on Mark Heap.

As long as he's funny and doesn't look like he's been hit by a bus, that's a chance I'll take.

[ishellmay]

He's very funny and plays the part of tormented artist really well. And he's cute.

[Sydneyfan]

See, that's me sold. :upyours

[blueone]

I phail to see how Simon Pegg - a blond, skinny and English man - will be able to play Scotty - a dark haird, fat scottish person.

Also, Quinto has the looks to play Spock but his voice isn't deep enough.

And the Urban person who's gonna play McCoy is way too young.

[/rant]

[Quincy]

So when does this thread start teaching me about Star Wars EU?

[ewok.online]

So when does this thread start teaching me about Star Wars EU?

Joruus C'Baoth is evil.
Han and Leia have babeez.

anything else?

[Quincy]

Oh I knew about Han and Leia. Where do I read on this though? I thought that was the point of this

[ewok.online]

It was the point.
Then someone sidetracked the thread with talk of lesser sagas.

Here's some "reccomended reading".
Grand Admiral Thrawn Trilogy
Rogue Squadron series (8 or 9 books, all pretty good. No main characters really, but it gives you a general feel for the universe and the people in it.)
Corellian Trilogy
Splinter of the Mind's Eye/Shadows of the Empire fill in the gaps between episodes IV/V and V/VI, respectively.

All good places to start.
There isn't a lot of interchange between storylines, so it's not like you have to start in a certain place.

[Quincy]

Thanks :upyours

[ewok.online]

I phail to see how Simon Pegg - a blond, skinny and English man - will be able to play Scotty - a dark haird, fat scottish person.


Scotty wasn't fat in the beginning.
NOW TAKE YOUR PRIME DIRECTIV AND GO TO ANOTHER THREAD, KTHX.

This thread is for the greatest saga known to man. :D

[ewok.online]

double post.

[clewis]

:upyours Nice list, wok. I never got around to the Rogue Squadron series.

But Shadows of the Empire is a must read.
And the Corellian trilogy is excellent.

[blueone]

Scotty wasn't fat in the beginning.


Neither was your mum!

Oh snap. :nod

[FrigidRoses]

Oh snap indeed. :nod

:jawdrop I must have it

[blueone]

I have one.

[blueone]

Actually, I think I've done this joke before.

To save time and effort - no, I don't have one. :lol

[hildegoat]

ThinkGeek is a great website for quirky Christmas gifts, especially if you have an I.T. staff who loves weird little gadgets. :upyours

[ewok.online]

You mean there are I.T. staffs who don't love little gadgets? :P

[hildegoat]

Touché, Wok. Touché.

[blueone]

I watched it again. Because teh Shat is priceless.
