Paul says:
I tried to draw Luke when he joined the Dark Side but it wouldn't come up.

Steven says:
Hah

Paul says:
That's probably the only section of the saga where Luke actually looked kinda intimidating. Unfortunately, he also looked like a blend of an emo and a goth who listens to too much of The Cure.

Steven says:
Luke?
Anakin? Or however you spell it?

Paul says:
I was mentioning Luke Skywalker.
Dressed in clad black? Leather boots? Green lightsaber? Emo 'do?

Steven says:
I didn't know he turned to the dark side.
Oh. He was just wearing black.

Paul says:
He did. He did it to get close to the emperor and snuff him, but then he got tempted by the dark side, yadda yadda yadda, comes to him senses, blah blah blah, and Darth Vader tosses the empreror down a bottomless shaft.

Steven says:
I thought he got electrocuted for that whole insanely long scene just because he said no.
Yeah, didn't he say no, then fought Vader until the Emporer commented on him "using his anger"?

Paul says:
Yeah, he did. That part was funny.
Was that what happened? I thought he actually stuck to the bad guys for a bit.

Steven says:
Nah, that would mean having to add depth to the character.
I never liked any of them except Han much anyway.
I would have loved for the first movie to end with Han taking off and Vader gunning down Luke, the Alliance getting blown apart, with the last 30 minutes detailing all the kickass things Han did with his loot, and all the even more kickass things Harrison Ford did with his career after.

Paul says:
Aaaaw. But that would mean that Chewy would die too!

Steven says:
Psh, Chewie is smart enough to split with Han like they should have.
He probably tried to talk him out of coming back, damnit!
Think about it
Get a pile of cash and the like, or save a bunch of whiny dissidents who will, in the end, put you out of buisness if they win and smuggling is no longer a nessicary trade, and who will probably come to you complaining and looking for handouts after you carry them through the next two sequels and their careers flounder.

Steven says:
While I'm tearing apart things you love, if you really think about it, alot of superheros would literally just be deformed retards without their superpowers.

Booze (the A-word is awful hard to spell) + stoned checkers + StarWars reruns and a general distaste for sci-fi.

  1. Alot of superheros come across as deformed retards even with the superpowers.

    And maybe it's just the fascist in me, but the Rebel Alliance were pretty plainly the bad guys. I mean, how many historians do you see thanking the barbarians for destroying the Roman Empire and turning Europe into an ass-backwards shithole? Same shit.

  2. Fuck, I got a good giggle from this. I really miss checkers with Paul. He's a good guy.

  3. I should re-add him on the new facebook.

    I should see if facebook has checkers. Oh MSN, how I pine for thee.
