REQUIES-CAT IN PACE

[torgosPizza]

I would say that if anything did come of Ep 1 being riffed, legal or otherwise, we the fans would step forward and defend this fine institution like a bear on crack. Or a bear who smelled honey. Or just a bear doing something cool. Bears are cool. I like bears.   

Bears are the number 1 threat to our nation!

Seriously though, has anyone heard any reactions yet from any of the Star Wars boards? Let us know what people are saying - especially if it's good! If it's bad, well, who cares.. tell them to take a joke!

My post has sat unreplied-to for almost a day now. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone GOES to the Episode 1 forum much at Starwars.com. :^)

Well I can tell you that the Dallas/Ft. Worth Star Wars community I'm in is all for the idea!

Even though there are a few Jar Jar fans in the group, they still like Rifftrax. So far the response to Rifftrax has been overwhelmingly good, and the buzz is already very high for the Episode 1 Riff.

As hardcore Star Wars fans, we agree that Ep. 1 is the weakest of the series(followed very closely by Ep. 2!), and we can take a joke! For the most part... 


Just in case you're wondering why Ep. 2 is slightly better than Ep. 1, it's 'cause Yoda threw down BIG-TIME!!! Plus, Jar Jar's screen time shrunk drastically.

Not wanting to geek out about Star Wars here but, Yoda should not have shown his light saber until the Ep. III fight with Palpatine.  It would have made their fight a thousand times better if that were the first time we saw Yoda in a fight.  Of course, I also think there should have only been one prequel movie with the events of Ep. III being the focal point   In fact, I think that if Ep. I and II didn't exist at all, and it was just Episode III you would not have all this hatred of Lucas for "ruining" Star Wars.

I think, IMHO, that the Yoda-Dooku dual, along with the big ground battle, was the highlight of Epi II.

Bears are Godless Killing Machines!

Ow, and I think any battle with yoda was a piece of crap. It was laughable. And I laughed. Damn overuse of special effects.

[Tyrant]

  Although I overall liked Ep 2, I have to say that the Dooku-Yoda fight gave that movie 99.9% of its cool points. Frankly, do you EVER hear anyone mention anything awesome about the movie without referring to that one scene?


  Hence, it's a good thing they used it for Ep2 instead of saving up a Yoda fight for Ep3. Without it, the movie would have kind of sucked.  

[WouTar]

Kinda? That whole movie was horrible. Your hand isn't like sand.... sand is rough... your hand is soft... not like sand.... sand is rough.

[Tyrant]

   And bears are awesome, darn it. Especially polar bears. Steven Colbert has you all brainwashed! Brainwashed, I tells ya!


 Love,

 Tyrant (advocate of bears)

P.S. I have to say kinda sucked because it had other cool moments.

[WouTar]

Colbert is fun in a barrel.

[Tyrant]

  But he hates bears. There are so many real worthwhile things to hate, like K-Fed.

I'm so with Tyrant on this one, seeing Yoda go all jedi ass whooping on Dooku made Ep 2 for me...

[kodiakthejuggler]

So Mods,

now that this little riddle has been solved, and this discussion has served its purpose...

any chance of locking this thread?

I concur...that may of been the ONLY thing I liked about EP 2....

He doesn't HATE bears, he fears them for they are Godless Killing Machines.
