Has Jabba ever looked good? He's a slug.

Wait, wouldn't Episode III, by that logic, be subtitled A Death Star is Born? I mean that's when we see the beginnings of the station.

It was conceived in Episode III and born during Rogue One because it was already operational and killing planets then. But I read an article last week that embryo sharks eat their siblings while still in their mother’s womb.

There is SO much wrong with this, and yet I can't stop smiling.

The 2004 effects are light-years beyond the 1997 ones, but the life-size puppet is still the best.

Ridiculous comment.

I have no preference for either the CGI or the puppet version. Both work perfectly well.

Just got done watching a comparison video of the various 'Jabbas' on youtube, and it's the first time i've seen the Jabba from the '97 SE in 20 years. God i'm glad they ditched that model and used the one from The Phantom Menace instead, it looked atrocious!

"Jabba, you're a wonderful human being!"

I was five. And, when it comes to Star Wars, I still am!

Even when it doesn’t come to Star Wars you’re still five.

THIS CALLS FOR A CELEBRATION.

I will watch Star Wars tonight.

A 15-year-old letterboxed, non-anamorphic DVD ported from a 26-year-old Laserdisc master, with bonus awesome 4% PAL speedup.

The zoom button on my TV remote is gonna feel like the belle of the ball tonight. It's been so long since anyone asked it to dance. Thanks George, for making the zoom button feel loved once in a while.

I was six. Wow. Still the most amazing theatrical experience I’ve ever had. It won’t be topped. Ever.

. Saw it at the Lowe’s twin theater which now has a Home Depot where that building was.

That's alright; I'm still older than you, in that case.

I believe it was the first film I saw at the cinema. I've had several experiences in life that I could describe as being 'profound' but watching the first Star Wars film with the old man, his cigarette smoke curling above us, caught in the projector light's beam, while this epic space fantasy unfolded on the screen before us, was the first.

May 25 1967 - Celtic win the European Cup

May 25 1977 - Star Wars released

May 25 2019 - Celtic win their third clean sweep in as many years.

Just saying.
