is tattooine the only fuckin planet in star wars??

with the way the SW universe is set up, a journeyman ending up on the EXACT SAME out of the way planets EVERY fuckin time out is a bit much, plus the conotations of Anakin returning in a "cut scene" to that planet are off the scale,

You don't see a problem with him stopping by and visiting the planet where his mom was killed every couple of months?

I agree with your point, nark, but for the reason mabs pointed out. For being the planet furthest from the bright center of the universe, there sure is a lot going on there.

I have no desire to see whatever the fuck this monstrosity is called. Make the goddamn sequels and get it over with, you money hungry whore. And "The Force Unleashed" can suck a twat, too. Why not make BF3?!

Dude, I said it was the fucking hotspot to be farthest from the bright center. Mabs already has Rockin' Deuce. He doesn't need any more credit for anything. Let us dorks have our moment to shine in his shadow.

Maybe. I forgot he already did it in that GBA video game (and probably a few other things). But, I dunno, maybe he'll have some sort of reaction to it. It may be odd but it's not a deal-breaker for me.

As for Tatooine having a lot of activity but supposedly being backwater, well, it's kind of always been like that, even in the OT.

How so? It's out of the way, so one gangster is based there. The son of Vader is hidden there because it's a backwater (and the old version of things, with Owen being Obi-Wan's brother, made far more sense). Obi-Wan is there to watch him, and Leia comes to fetch Obi-Wan. Luke and Obi-Wan meet up with Han, who's there because he works for the aforementioned gangster.

Taken without everything in the PT, Tatooine being a boring hole in the wall fits perfectly with what we see in the OT.

That's still a fair amount of stuff that happens somewhere that things never happen. There's also all the stuff in ROTJ, though. And I think Luke was just being an antisocial pussy, or complaining about everything when he said the "planet it's furthest from" line, since they still had their T-16 races and buzzing spaceports and all that shit.

Yeah, but it all boils down to "This is a backwater no one will bother to check, so a gangster who wants to keep a low profile lives there, and Obi-Wan hides Luke there." Everything else in ANH and ROTJ stems from those two things, which are completely unrelated until TPM. Leia comes to find Obi-Wan, Vader tracks her there, Obi-Wan realizes that he has to leave with Luke, and they meet a guy in a bar who's there on business. Han and Boba work for Jabba, and Han's unpaid debt is what brings everyone back to Tatooine two movies later.

A lot winds up happening there, but what Luke said in ANH is true. Nothing has happened there up to that point, until the prequels come into play. Then it's like the freaking Badda-Bing, with everyone hanging out.

Well either the intention of Luke's line in ANH was to show how naive he is about galactic events on Tatooine or all the writers are just ignoring it. Probably the later.

Every planet in the OT is a boring hole in the wall.

Except for Bespin of course, since Lando gets some mad Cloud Pussy there.

Tauntauns fucking (while interesting to watch during the mounting and dismounting process) gets kinda boring after awhile.

You mean every planet in the OT not home to the Rockin' Deuce is a boring hole in the wall. Unfortunately for the galaxy, 2-1B spends most of his time on the Rebel Fleet party barge.

Very good point...that's why Luke and Leia are wearing pajamas at the end of ESB - it's like being at the Playboy Mansion.

21B = Hef

I bet droid orgies are really squeaky and smell like a burnt clutch.

The new trailer looks a lot less sucky than the previous ones.

Unfortunately, it still looks sucky.

I will admit, though, if not for the incredibly shitty-looking human (and near-human) characters, the rest looks visually rather good now. They must've finished the animation before releasing this trailer. (Of course, it helps that, aside from the stupid crab thing grabbing the sail barge, most of the retarded-looking action is eliminated.)

What's wrong with the humans? Their design, their animation, or something else?

As I posted elsewhere, I can't wait for this fucker. With Christopher Lee's voice in it I think I might blow my load in the theater.

Samuel L. Jackson, Jabba the Hutt, and a Super Battle Droid throwing a clone trooper across the room. What's not to love?
