Take a Walk on the Dark Side

The movie last night was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. My 7-year-old was reading the credits. I was proud, since she's not a strong reader. She read "executive producer George Lucas" and started yelling "George Lucas! George Lucas!" She ran into the next room and told her sister "Sis, you've got to see this movie, its got GEORGE LUCAS!"
The "directed by Steven Speilberg" part didn't mean anything to her. I suppose I've been neglecting my kid's cinematic education. But its been all Star Wars all summer here. They own five movies and can't wait for the sixth. Especially since I didn't take them to the theater for it. How avid fans are they? My two DAUGHTERS plan to be Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker for Halloween. I will eventually post pictures.
A takeoff worth passing on: organic veggies in Star Wars, retitled Store Wars. This may be the only link in this entry thats OK for children.
It only takes about 6 hours from the opening of a movie to find the bootleg copies on some streets. Sometimes they are out
before the movie is, since there are always critics viewings, gala premieres, and ambitious insiders. When a certain bootlegging ring tried to translate Revenge of the Sith into Chinese, then back into English for the subtitles, Revenge of the Sith became Backstroke of the West. Hilarity ensues.
Careful with that thing! Embarrassing things that might happen while using a light saber.
Quiz time: Which Science Fiction/Fantasy character do you most resemble?
Just how silly was it to make three movies, then make three more that occurred before the first three? Or should I even say "the first three" when referring to episodes 4, 5, and 6? Could this happen again, say, a prequel trilogy to the prequel trilogy? And what changes will Lucas make when the "directors cuts" of the recent movies come out on DVD?
Star Wars character or hip hop artist? Take the test to see how informed you are. I flunked miserably, or course.
Its an age-old controversy, at least in some dark corners-Star Wars vs. Star Trek.
Here are the scripts that tell the real stories:
The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
Star Wars: A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Here's a parody video entitled Episode III: A Lost Hope

Adult Content. You've been warned. No sound, and the pictures are nothing new, But the text is truly offensive. It gets funnier towards the end. Star Wars, the dirty version.
Thought for today: May the farce be with you.
