    Basically, it seems like you are appealing to a version of the problem of induction. All we've got for what kind of life there is is what we've seen and all the things that have led us to believe we have reason for applying that to what we havent seen. But be careful about messing with the induction; because if we have to abandon that, then well, we probably should be very very very very very very very very open to the possibility that the sun won't rise tomorrow, or that if we drop something it won't fall to the earth (and not pretend open, like we are now), and quite frankly, that way leads to madness.


    Well, I don't think we should disregard what we think we know about science and the universe. I just think that it's kind of pointless to talk about the universe as a whole, even when we haven't explored any of it really. We can look at what we have discovered and apply tests to it and see what seems logical. But I don't think we have enough knowledge to make statements about the whole universe, and about all life in the universe, because we don't have any evidence. We only have evidence that we've seen, and I don't think it's logical to apply what we know to things we really don't know anything about.

    Sun coming up tomorrow isn't really to do with it. Sun has come up every day for however long, and we all experience it. Alien life has never been experienced, which is my whole point.

    Let me remind people that I am not defending Lucas... I think he just didn't know what he was doing with the light sabre thing, I just pulled that out of my ass as possible reason that he might have given - it is a pithy defense.

    I'm back from my "birthday break", good to see all of you and read your thoughts on "Sith". 

    I have seen the film twice, and as Madam Corvax said, I can't bear to see it three times.  In a nutshell, there were things I wholeheartedly disliked, but there were some things I mildly enjoyed, so it wasn't a total loss.
    Richard, I'm glad you brought this up because after seeing "Sith" the 2nd time and then watching the dvd that's included with the Soundtrack (has anyone talked about this in a thread?) I realized that the "color palette" of the PT is a big part of what doesn't "fit" for me.

    When I view the OT, I see a palette that is very silver & black for the space exterior scenes, as well as the Death Star interiors, the interiors of the Star Detroyers, etc.  And the planets we visit in the OT are, for the most part, monochromatic in palette, e.g. desert sand on Tatooine, snow white on Hoth, forest green on the moon of Endor, etc.  For me, the OT had a stark color palette that gave it a certain feel.

    And as I watched "Sith", I was finally able to articulate this feeling:  it's too colorful in the prequels.  This is just my opinion, but I agree with you that visually, I don't like all the color of the prequels.  For me, that is a large part of "what doesn't feel right".

    Nice to see I'm not alone.


    Yea, I'd even go as far to say that most of the sets, vehicles and characters also looked too 'nice'. It removed the kind of sinister vibe, and they seemed more like children's movies because of it. I found that the characters look ridiculous rather than intersting or frightening / threatening, and the sets are all sparkly and nice. I don't think it's right, given that Anakin was a slave in ep.1, and you'd think they'd want to make it seem a miserable place for him to be.
  3. In Topic: Episode III makes Darth Vader a wuss

    So name one powerful force wielder that Aniken/Darth Vader defeats? 


    Yea you're right. I was hoping that episode three would be about Vader anihilating everyone, and showing the Jedi trying to firstly get him to come back from the dark side (maybe), and then later just trying to escape or fend for themselves. This would have shown more directly the power that Vader has. In the original trilogy, he mainly just dispatches his own bum guards for mispronouncing things or arriving to work five minutes late, the only person you see him fight who is even remotely hard is Luke. So it would have been nice to see him actually kick someone's head in as Vader, single-handedly.

    I don't see anything wrong with swearing... at least, not too much. But I would definately like to see you tell me exactly how much 'excessive' obscenities is? I've seen people claim that even one 'swear' word in a paragraph of a more than a hundred words to be 'excessive'.


    I want to know this too, along with the list of bad words that I initially asked for, so that I can't be accused of breaking the rules
  5. In Topic: Should the PT have been made at all?

    Posted 25 May 2005

    I think it was a cool idea to make the prequels, but I would have enjoyed them a lot more if they were done differently.
