The VORum

Now, now....I REALLY do not empathize with this negativity you're placing on my shoulders, guys.

While I thought initially that you're just jumping to conclusions about my likes and dislikes, the more I think about it, I've come to this:

If you dismiss my opinions as overly negative, then not only do you not understand where I'm coming from, you're also not listening to what i'm saying.

If you dont' understand, then you can't label me.

Any time I've ever shit on something, I've always constructed an alternative that would make it work.
A lot of my opinions do relate directly with time.

I've seen this stuff for a LONG time.....an accidental scholar, if you will.

If anything, my passion for SW keeps me talking about it.
There's TONS of other properties, like He-Man, Transformers, ect. that I can freely let go and really don't care what they do with it, for the most part.

A better way of looking at my relatoinship with the two trilogies is that they're six really cool sci-fi movies that I've practically and literally grown up with.
I have definitely done my time with each and every one of them. I've paid the dues, and worn the jar-jar boxers.
And in the end?

Six cool movies that I love. And two of them are WAY MORE FUCKING AWESOME that the other four.

I'm not out to make anyone feel stupid. I really can't do that, anyway.

The funniest thign is that most likely, in another five years or so, you guys will look back and see what I'm talking about. You'll understand.

YEAH! I am already stupid, so HA you couldnt make me feel stupid if you tried!

But Joel, having said all of that, as a fan of your show I feel it's safe to speak on behalf of others who I feel deserve to know right from you.























Where did the lighter fluid come from???

Joel is flaming...

Joel will bitch about anything post 1980.
Mike will be excedingly raunchy.
Ed will self-reference for hours.
All of them will freely trash other SW podcasts.

MOST EXCELLENT POINTS FROM OUR FRIENDS UP NORTH!!!

The show follows the rule of 3. Joel's points and thoughts always have me rewinding my mp3. I, too, believe there were only 3 SW movies made and the rest are ornamentations. Some people like this and some like that. Joel represents the highest form of artist AND critic. Passionate about what he likes and SMART ENOUGH to know what the HELL he is talking about. The complaints from all 3 and the lauds pull it all together. Mike just keeps taking us down that scary SW backalley with a flashlight and I just can't wait to see how he puts the brakes on the show with Joel and Ed speechless. Ed has no choice about his self-referencing. It comes from his Catholic background.

Hope you didn't take the "bitch, bitch, bitch'.. to heart. Should have clarified. But, that said, my wife is a HUGE reader and tends to ignore inconsistencies in fiction. She really doesnt care if a Wookie's hair color changes when they go off planet.

Um.... Tim.... you speeled stoopid wrong.

Okay, with the Bat hype machine running full steam, who is the baddest bad ass. Joker or Vader. Both have their own movies and books. State your case. I am a big bats fan too.

I really hope we can get a ROTS or ESB commentary before Eddie-san leaves.

Me too! ok, I have an idea...

Bah. I really don't listen for all the Star Wars talk... (you guys talk about toys waaaaay too much for me.) I just like listening to your banter. You're one of the few podcasts that actually makes me laugh out loud at work, and that's better than any criticism, likes or dislikes about anything SW related.

Now, my suggestion for a show: An entire show dedicated to the Star Wars franchise of video games. From the vector graphics Star Wars to Unleashed.

I like Gaston's ideas. I always want to play some games, but I am never sure what platform is the best. So, if you talk about video games, you have to include stuff on multiple platforms and how well they perform.
That would help A LOT!!

Show Idea - What If.....

George Lucas died in the car crash. No Star Wars. No Indy. No VOR. No really expensive fucking toys.

What would we be looking at? watching? talking about on line?

If there were no Star Wars, what else was there in our time line that could generate any kind of hype.

Ok, so are you talking about THE crash, or a post-original trilogy crash?

How about a show about the documentaries. There are a ton of them and they all have interesting facts about the making of star wars. You could talk about your favourite fun fact. After you do a show about the clone wars movie that is.
