So the fact that Rick Macullum invited three of the guys to appear in

you to throw away a twenty-plus-year hobby. Doesn't that seem...
well... geeky and silly to you? It sure does to me. You have no idea
who might have had cameos in the other four films -- it's common
practice for directors or producers to give cameos to visiting famous
people as a favor. Just because the NSYNC cameos became publicized
doesn't mean they're the only ones. And besides that, I still don't
see how their inclusion in a scene of extras -- which might still make
it to the cutting room floor -- is more offensive than Jar-Jar, the
Ewoks, the Holiday Special, Mark Hamill's acting, General Madine's
haircut, or any of the other negative aspects of Star Wars. This is
especially so given that you've spent all these years reading the
books and comics and so forth -- I have, too, and the quality varies
highly among them. Some are great, while some are outlandishly dumb.
How could NSYNC's minor, minor cameo be worse than, say, the fact that
"The Crystal Star" was allowed to be published? See, this is exactly
the kind of extremist reaction that gives Star Wars fans a "geek"
label. I can't fathom throwing out a two-decade hobby over something
like this. Relax, man, and enjoy the film -- you haven't even seen it
yet, and you're discarding it, despite all signs that it'll blow TPM
away. And why? Because an 80-year-old actor will weild a lightsaber
-- something hardly new to the Star Wars films -- and because some
famous people have been given cameos as extras -- something not new to
ANY films. With all due respect, this is even geekier than spending
several days on line just to see a movie.

Christopher Lee is one of the greatest actors that is and ever was in the
film industry. I have never seen him turn out a bad performance. Even when
the man appears in BAD films (and he's had his share) his acting is always
impeccable- Gremlins 2 for example. He was one of the only reasons to watch
that film. Having him in AOTC, whether at 80, 90, or 137 is a welcome
addition to any film. I bet he kicks some major ass in the film too!

Gremlins 2 is excellent satire. I agree the Christopher Lee was good in it,
but it is a GOOD movie.

What does it matter to you? It's his hobby. He can throw it away
if he wants. Do you have stock in Lucasfilm or something?

No, it means that Lucas and friends have their minds on publicizing
the presence of N'Sync in this movie, not publicizing that it
might be a good movie that people OTHER than really young teens
might like.
And besides that, I still don't

People are really stretching when they try to includ the Holiday
Special as 'Star Wars flaw'. Same with Mark Hamill's acting, which
was pretty decent.

I begin to doubt your sanity here my friend. This move has yet to be
released yet you know what Lee's role will be in the film. How can you tell
whether or not the character was miscast when NO ONE knows the full plot to
the movie?
I am assuming that Dooku will be a little more than a hitman- which is what
Maul was in Ep1. Plus I think that it is assured that he will have more than
3 lines, which is what Maul had in EP1. As for Obi Wan's battle in
ANH...you maybe need to watch the film again.

three or four individuals. So your point is moot.

Why a joke? Maybe he's part some other race more long lived than humans? One
does not need to move like Ray Park to "kick ass". That was Maul's thing,
perhaps Count KooKoo has greater force powers, who knows. Besides the brute
force part of Sideous plan may now be replaced with more subtle
machinations...

A joke? He was an old broken down Jedi. Now if he'd been replaced by a

So you're saying every battle from here on in has to be like the Matrix or
its not "believable". If its appropriate to the storyline it will fly.
Imagine Star Wars exactly like it is, but now Vader and Ben having a
"Matrix-style" fight. Now THAT would be fucking hilarious, and a joke.

Lots of directors stick people in as extras as a favor. If he lingers on

material with no special significance whatsoever.

I agree. A better choice by far would have been Eddie Murphy.

I don't know which of however many trailers it was, but it played up the
forbidden-romance aspect.
I think what's troubling me about it is that the whole notion of Jedi not
being allowed to love seems so left-field. That, and the trailer didn't
really generate a sense of excitement. Maybe a different trailer would;
not all of the LotR trailers were that interesting, and I love that movie.

My first guess was the fish guy in ROTJ, my second guess

to let my mind fasten on the credits for information the

It's an amazing thing what years of training, practice and constant
use can allow you to do. Anakin has only been at the Jedi thing for a
little while (10 years). I don't know how long he's had the
lightsaber, but I can't believe that it's been for the entire 10
years. Dooku, we don't know how long he's been doing his thing, but I
would think quite a long time, several decades I would imagine. So
he's got a hell of a lot more experience the Anakin. And that counts
for a hell of a lot. I speak from personal experience. I'm currently
taking fencing. Been doing it for about 6 months. My coach is a
woman who's been fencing for over 20 years. I am bigger, faster and
stronger than she is. And yet she wipes the floor with me *every*
time. I can barely touch her. So power don't mean diddly!

I'll trust your pronunciation of it then, I read the
other on theforce.net, which I've completely given up
on as of today, aside from looking at their pretty

I just got that song out of my head!
Thanks for the proper words though, it's been a while
since I listened to Goin' Quackers.

You realize I hope that the song predates anything Disney?
Don't trust me. It is more likely to be Japanese than Chinese.

I don't know. I can say, Porkins si yi ge ta fei zhu.
Which means, Porkins is a big fat pig.

Yep he sure has! And Obi-Wan could have taught the can-can part ot
Anakin too!

You think he'll bite Padmé and then Yoda will have to
go with her to cut his head off while Anakin, Obi-Wan
and Quincy, I mean Mace Windu destroy all his
furniture?

Hmm... logically, Tarkin should stab him through the heart with the Death
Star superlaser...

True, true... but that would totally throw off the
canon, wouldn't it? Unless Dooku is imprisoned on the
day side of Alderaan when Tarkin swings by, then it all
works out.
We'll need an extra extra special edition for that.

I don't see your point. Knowing who GM is doesn't exactly make you a
