What did we learn?

[Rufus T]

Thank you for the compliment Sharktopus. Yeah, I was kinda stretching with this one. The Matrix scenario was much easier to formulate.

[PsypherPunk]

That if you ever intend to rule the galaxy you should never, ever utter the word "Yippee". Ever.

[Ivan Druzhkov]

I learned that after not seeing him for seven years, it only takes six seconds with Jar Jar to make you hate him all over again.

I also learned that exercising your Second Amendment rights kicks ass!

Oh, and I also discovered that if there one thing movie audiences love more than action, it's pendantic stilted dialogue!  Pages and pages and pages of it.

I learned that during exciting escape sequences, one should always script in a pause and a lengthy discussion on politics and trade disputes.

What the hell are the Naboo trading anyway? Lush green fields with NOTHING growing in them, no sign of any polluting industry, no sign of anyone there doing anything expect building statues and archways. I guess that's it. They are the universe's leading exporter of oversized, embarassing statues and marble archways.
The statue of the Emperor they topple at the 'new' ending of Jedi? Hand made by a Naboo artisan.

Hair extentions?

[Ivan Druzhkov]

Hair extentions?

They must do a brisk trade with the Psychlo homeworld, then.  Do you suppose the Naboo make black padded codpieces too?

[Tyrant]

   I know they make exploding bowling balls.

[BBQ Platypus]

   I know they make exploding bowling balls.

For really, really strong people who don't have fingers.  That's a vitally important market.

[SaucyRossy]

I learned that Qui Gon Jin is a "Stupid Ninja!"
and that GL just comes up with his fake alien languages by taking syllables out of the lamest possible words and sentences he can write.

[dignan]

I learned that this was a crappy sequel to Superfly. 

[PsypherPunk]

That if you call your son 'Annie' he will grow up to destroy planets.

[Bob]

I learned.....

Of course you get soup with the buffet.
Never build robot guards that a toy poddle could destroy.
All hand maidens and their queens look alike.
Even on other worlds, it is "funny" if make the villians sound like arabs.
CGI is a good substitute for a good script, plot, character development, etc.
If one fish attacking your ship scene is good, TWO in a row is even better.
Adam Rich and Jay North were pretty good child actors after all.

[Fifthrate]

I learned that any spaceport on Tattooinne is a "Wretched hive of scum and villany.

I've learned that 9 year olds can build practically anything.

[prestonp]

I learned that only through prolonged periods of meditation can you have a good enough understanding of the force necessary to entrust your entire fate   the racing skills of a nine year old slave by entering him into a race against adult drivers who will be trying to kill him. I also learned that if you're the slave owner who owns a child prodigy who can build, race and pilot anything with no formal training or schooling, that you're best bet to make money is to bet against him in a race where he will most likely get killed if he loses and freed if he wins. I also learned that slavery leaves you with enough spare time and resources to tinker and build whatever you want.
