Chefelf.com Night Life: KurganX - Viewing Profile

wow. I never got into MMORPG's because I knew I wouldn't have time to devote to them that which they would require to have a "meaningful" gaming experience, nor could I justify the monthly cost (after forking over for the game in the first place). I also heard about the changes to gameplay that people hated and so forth. I know that there are people running their own unauthorized private servers, but of course it won't be the same experience of having a whole "world" of humans to interact with. Ah well, sorry guys.
As for the Star Wars franchise, I somewhat agree. I'm pretty burned out on it too.

I enjoy the movies, and I can still enjoy them like any other movies I like. Some of the games too.

But I can't just sit there hoping it will be constantly fresh and relevant and constantly have new products coming out that I can be "proud of" that are worth my time and/or money.

That's life. Star Wars isn't meant to be a religion, it's just some merchandise based on some popular movies. I do sometimes wonder if the people in charge every really understood what it was all about for these fans. Every franchise hits its peak and eventually dies down.

So how can someone be a fan of Star Wars today? Ask yourself how were we able to be fans from '84 to '90 (or really at any time after ROTJ left theaters until the Special Editions were released, because the world at large forgot about Star Wars in that time).

I think I may have gotten the source wrong. According to Kaminski's page it was in "The Unauthorized Star Wars Compendium." In any case... see above.

I guess it was a clever way to head off the otherwise inevitable "He's an obsessed fan who takes the movies too seriously!" charge from both non-fans and fanboys alike... (since the character doing the review is supposed to be crazy anyway)

I think the voice is hilarious, because he sounds like an old slob. It's not his real voice, as in one of the other shorter and more recent "reviews" his real voice starts to slip through at points. But it sounds like he's doing an impression, I swear I've heard people who really sound like that.

Great sarcasm. I wasn't talking about ChefElf's list, I'm talking about this:

50 Reasons Why Return of the Jedi Sucks (just one of the many places it's posted, I read it in a book of essays on the movies, "A Galaxy Not So Far Away," iirc). Of course this was created long before the Prequels (and ChefElf's much wittier comments)

I understand why a lot of SW fans don't like ROTJ as much, and love ESB the best. This thread also brings up the point that you can reduce any of the movies to ridiculousness with sufficient analysis. And the analysis is fun and doesn't ruin the movies for us in the least.

Luke wears a dark brown robe over his black outfit in ROTJ though, and only loses it during his conversation with Jabba in the throne room. It makes sense that he'd wear it in that limited context considering the sun/sand and as a light kind of disguise (the whole "sand storm" scene was deleted).
