-Game of Thrones-HBO-

lol all you want!

Lucas set precedents for the way movies are made, and his universe far outshines Martin's... BUT, the stuff I like more from ASOIAF than I do with Star Wars is the quality of writing and character development... sooo much better...

I don't know if anything can ever trump Star Wars, but GRRM is currently 2nd in my book...

The Star Wars Universe has been written by numerous people, however. The original star wars had the benefit of being rewritten by capable screenwriters (luke originally being a woman, chewie an ewok, han solo a droid, etc) and George had Joseph Campbell holding his hand telling him how to create a story.

The "universe" of the original star wars movies is cookie cutter poo. "Hey yeah there's an empire where there used to be a republic. There are some rebels. Here's hero journey. Oh by the way everyone is related."

Star Wars is an incredibly simplistic story and that's why it was so popular. It's the oldest tale in the world. Young guy goes into the desert, meets a mentor, learns something, uses it to help people. Am I talking about Jesus or Luke Skywalker?

Turns out, Sean Bean's hero image is the real deal.

The "Game of Thrones" and "Lord of the Rings" tough guy reportedly came to the aid of his famous glamour model companion after a fellow pub reveler made some untoward comments on her topless posing past. While Bean's white knighthood was obviously admirable, it also proved rather dangerous, as a melee ensued and the actor was ultimately stabbed outside the London pub.

All was seemingly well until the stranger returned later on, at which point a scuffle broke out, and Bean was reportedly punched in the face, causing a bruise over his eye, and stabbed in the arm with broken glass. Despite his wounds, Bean refused any medical attention and opted not to go to a hospital.

Instead, the actor accepted a first aid kit from the bar staff, then ordered another drink.

Guess all those tough guy roles haven't been too much of a stretch, after all.

what? he didn't die in slow motion?

[Porn Shop Clerk]

No, apparently he signed another contract for a big name production instead.

just to go back to this star wars stuff for the second, go back and watch ROTJ with a critical eye and you'll see that it's absolutely poo. The only reason we care is because we became emotionally involved with the characters.

First half of the movie: Let's get all the main characters in the same place using this fuged up plan.

1. install lando as a spy

2. give them the two droids, hoping that R2D2 might end up in a position to shoot luke a lightsaber if need be

3. bring chewie in chains for no reason at all

4. have a woman with no military training do it. btw she is also royalty and one of the rebellions top diplomats.

5. have luke come in and get caught by a trap fuging door you'd think that lando would have mentioned WHILE HE WAS SPYING ON THEM AND HAD JUST WATCHED THE STRIPPER FALL INTO EARLIER I MEAN JESUS FU

6. do all this with the hope that luke won't have to just kill everyone

7. luke kills everyone

8. oh yeah show the empire's new (old) weapon a few times just to break it up a little.

-------------SECOND HALF----------------

1. send all the main characters to the planet, including the aforementioned untrained woman, a smuggler, an 8 foot tall rug that can only communicate to one member of the party, a protocol droid, and a droid designed for helping to fly spaceships, something they won't have on this planet

2. introduce a new line of stuffed animals to sell

3. ITS A TWAP

3a - father vs son GOOD fuging GOD EVERYONE KNOWS HOW THIS IS GOING TO GO

3b - stuffed animals defeat "an entire legion of my finest troops"

3c - wedge and lando (why is he in this movie he betrayed them once my fuging god) do basically the exact same fuging thing as in the first one and blow up the death star. this is seriously because Lucas saw some footage of american planes flying in like a dam during ww2 and fell in love with it.

.....some years later.....

completely change everything because lucas is a *****

meanwhile no one addresses the nuclear fallout that surely would have occurred above endor and ended all life on the forest moon.

Empire was good.

[Fiz]

I'm not watching anything even remotely connected to that pile of poo. I was suckered into watching Phantom Menace and that's where I stopped.

just let me curl up in my ewok sheets and cry

btw despite your beliefs of my Star Wars fanboy-ism, only one of the movies is even remotely close to my top ten films of all time...

Part of the reason I even like the universe to begin with is that Lucas let other people take it off his hands and allowed them to create within it...

GRRM is adamantly opposed to that, but he gets a pass at this point because everything he has shown me so far is that he is more than capable...

None of that changes the sentiment that Star Trek, in any and all incarnations, were a bar below both SW and ASOIAF in my opinion...
