For sure ...

I mean, I haven't seen Hayden Christensen in anything else, but he was just boring in Ep II & III

Neither have I. Is he always that bad? I've always given him the benefit of the doubt because George Lucas can get a terrible performance out of anybody. Look how terrible Natalie Portman was, and she's a good actress. The only person who was any good was Ewan, but he had a frame of reference for his character and was doing an Alec Guinness impression. George only cares if the actors are standing on their mark so he can add millions of dollars worth of CGI behind them, the performances could have been phoned in for all he cares. And the actors didn't have much to work with script-wise.

satansfuton.. yeah I know!
Its just much easier for me to criticize the accidents that I can see past.
Everything about Anakin was lousy...I dont like to think about it

*(actually jar jar didnt ruin those movies nearly as much as that kid and Hayden Christiansen did)

I caught myself reading about the specs of Darth Vader's armor last summer.

I think we can all agree that Darth Maul was the shit

Worf would kick Chewbacca's Ass, you know it to be True.

He fought like a mutherfucker (cool), But his character was lame. Uninspired and no depth. He could've been really cool, but they didnt develop him at all. He had one line in the whole movie I believe.

To answer the question Star Wars of course.

But i actually prefer Battlestar Galactica to them both

and if i'm traveling across the Verse and i need a co pilot i'd enlist Capt Mal Reynolds to join my ship

Same goes for Boba Fett. Would anybody have even remembered that characters name if they hadn't said it in E.T.? He looks cool though, so he became popular, same goes for Maul. But the lack of character depth created a lot of mystery which made them seem really cool. As George proved with delving into Vader and Fett's childhood, the mystery is much cooler than seeing their lives spelled out for us.

It was much cooler having no clue what Boba Fett looked like.

This...



Is much cooler than this...



and certainly this...

Star Trek fans creep me out.

BTW, it's Space Balls for me.

Not to creep anybody out, but I'm Star Trek fan.

It must be an generation/age thing- looks like most of you are Wars fans.

Star Trek for me! Hard to beat Deep Space Nine (best Trek show) and the classic episodes from the original series and The Next Generation.
