lamest line in scifi geekdom
Friday, May 11, 2007
I love the Star Wars movies. Probably a lot more than is entirely necessary. But Luke's line from A New Hope just popped into my head while im'ing with a friend about Vader and I have to say that aside from being a poorly delivered lame bit of dialogue, it really sets the tone for Mark Hamill's character for the rest of the trilogy:
And while we're on the subject of the original Star Wars, as I seem to be, I know everyone that grew up with the movie already knows this but just in case you missed the boat or forgot, Han shot Greedo first. Greedo did not shoot at point blank range and miss Solo by a good six feet as all of George Lucas' subsequent releases of the movie would have you believe. Han shot first. He was a jerk and you weren't supposed to call him a good guy. Apparently Lucas thought that anti-heroes were only cool in the 70's, even if they were scruffy-looking nerf herders.
There, that's better.
But I was going into Tashi Station to pick up some power converters!Fucking whiner.

Luke rocks. You Luke bashers need to get the fuck over yourselves. So he's whiny? Yeah, at the beginning. Like he's supposed to be.
LOL!
Yeah, Luke was a whiny suck hole. And Han, mmm mmmm mmmmmmmmmmmm, I likes me a bad boy.
Glen gets annoyed with the movies vs the books, Han was supposed to be a tougher, non-loveable guy. Damn that Harrison Ford.
Yea I'd choose Han over Luke any day.
I hate how Lucas changed that scene. Why the hell would the bounty hunter kill what he needs to collect the damn bounty anyway!?
