stuff n' things (can you tell I should be dissertating edition?)

First of all, faris_nallaneen linked me to Ben Franklin's synonyms for drunk. What's your favorite? I'm torn between "It is Star-light with him," and "Seen a Flock of Moons," (how celestial!) and "Been at an Indian Feast" (um, not the ones I've been to...), and... "Sir Richard has taken off his Considering Cap." SO BEEN THERE. Or there is a certain succinct ( Read more... )

*sigh*

I keep seeing ad for the 3D Phantom Menace, and feeling a little bit excited. Then I remember that it's, you know, The Phantom Menace, and then I don't feel excited anymore. :(

I know. It is very very sad. But these fan edits really rekindled my excitement! I mean, not for The Phantom Menace (nothing could) but for the whole 'verse. Which I find, happily, I still love.

I'll have to watch them!

For me, I marathoned the original trilogy in early December when I was home sick one day, and that made me remember how much I love it. :) I then went back and read the couple of Star Wars novels I have in the back of my closet from when I was a teenager, and also wrote some fic over the Christmas period (for fandom_stocking). It definitely made me want to spend more time in that 'verse.

Perhaps there will be an awesome fan-resurgence for Star Wars...

I'm planning a reread of my novels as well ;-)

Thanks for that link! I can't imagine what would make Jedi watchable to me (Luke's seduction by the Emperor aside), but these definitely look encouraging.

Ah, well. Jedi was my very first Star Wars film -- I suppose one could count Empire, but since I was in the womb at the time, I don't -- and I have always loved it. Including the Ewoks. I kinda wish I could have watched Empire once NOT knowing that Anakin Skywalker = Darth Vader = Luke's Father, but "I've always known."

coyotegoth February 8 2012, 02:42:08 UTC

Well, I'm probably also biased, as I love Empire so very, very much.

kalichan February 8 2012, 02:44:44 UTC

I think everyone agrees that Empire is, objectively, the best one.
