oh no i definately beleive there is some phallacy involved with men running around with long light swords that can thrust their way through any material they want ;)

Yes and considering that the only black jedi also was the only one with a purple light saber(with ribs no less on the design) clearly has nothing to do with phallic symbols.

To summarize: Star Wars makes you guys think of cock.

well yeah, you cant say we are the only ones, you just dont want to admit it.

I was just yanking your chain. I know it was a little bit below the belt, but I wasn't trying to be a prick. It was just some good natured ribbing for your pleasure.

Who doesn't occasionally drift off into blissful ruminations about Sam Jackson's majestic purple shaft? Guilty as charged!


Goshzilla

Other than saying "Party's over," an often overlooked line Mace Windu likes to spout out at gatherings is "Have you seen my massive purple light saber?"

did any one else get the feeling that mr jackson REALLY wanted to add mother f@cker after most of his lines in these movies?

This scene had to be cut from "Attack of the Clones" to keep the PG rating:

Mace:  Hey kid, hand me my lightsaber.
Anakin:  Which one is it?
Mace:  It's the one that says "Bad Motherf***er" on it

sarcasm_made_Easy

the scene didnt run quite like that it went this way



Mace:  Hey kid, hand me my lightsaber.
Anakin:  Which one is it?
Mace:  It's the one that says "Bad Muth-"
Yoda: Mouth you shut.

"Mace:  Hey kid, hand me my lightsaber.

I'm just talkin' about Mace! Can you dig it?

Mace Windu in Revenge of the Sith
*Mace questioning Anakin
Mace:"You work for darth sidius right? What does he look like. Say what one more time mother f@cker I dare you."

Of course the classic scene in Revenge of the Sith had to be cut out

Anakin: Oh come on Jar Jar, do you think a god came down from heaven an- *BAM*
Mace: Ooooo what the f@ck was that?
Anakin: aw man I shot Jar Jar in the face.
Mace: Why the f@ck did you do that?

Nunyerbiz

Ok... Jar Jar is annoying and all... but I draw the line at sticking him in other movies just to kill him.

Works for me . . . anything to erase the memory of his antics from my mind.

As I watch the very first Star Wars on HBO, it occurs to me that the only thing keeping Lucas from being as stupid and childish as he was in this movie in the first three was his lack of budget. Looking back, you can tell that he so wants to have pod races and armies of comedic droids.

MSTJedi

I can see where you're going with that. WYou can see it already starting to happen in return of the Jedi with the Ewoks (woulda been so much cooler with the Wookiees). I mean, come on . . . little teddy bear creatures taking out a group of (supposedly) highly-trained troops with sticks and stones? I understand the point behind it, but disbelief can be suspended only so far.

A similar thing happened to Hitchcock (in my opinion, anyway). He was great when he was forced to play things with subtlety and intrigue, but when the "rules" were relaxed in the 70s, he came out with Frenzy in which he tossed subtlety out the window and threw the caziness and perversion right out there in your face. I'll take Rebecca or North by Northwest over that schlock any day.

Ohh... I dunno. I think Lucas just waited too long, lost his touch. He became a super-gazllionaire with little to no restraint and nothing but time to convince himself that all his wacky ideas were golden. Once he became obsessed with digital filmaking and CGI and whatnot... he indulged in all the superfluous areas. The prequels, while maybe a bit overwrought, had visually stunning environments and effects but suffered from stilted scripts. The script wasn't really what he seemed to care about.

Granted, this could mean that the original trilogy succeeded in spite of Lucas and not because of him... but I don't think that's the case. The guy just got obsessed with the wrong aspect of the process. It seems like in all his "prequel" interviews he blathers on and on about the digital film and the technology and this and that. I think he was much more interested in the story the first time around. Even if things come off the rails a bit in Jedi, I think the originals hold up rather well. I never sensed him reaching for lame comic relief or large stretches of movie where even the lone FX sequence is dull (unlike say, Episode 1).
