no. sorry, no.
Lock thread, please.
your fleet is lost…and your friends….will not survive..
Do we really need a Star Wars thread at The Auteurs?
do we ? In my opinion, No we don’t .
Chesko, Sebulba!
Most suggestive Star Wars lines:
Star Wars 10. “Get in there you big furry oaf, I don’t care what you smell!” 9. “Luke, at that speed do you think you’ll be able to pull out in time?” 8. “Put that thing away before you get us all killed.” 7. “You’ve got something jammed in here real good.” 6. “Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?” 5. “You came in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.” 4. “Sorry about the mess…” 3. “Look at the size of that thing!” 2. “Curse my metal body, I wasn’t fast enough!” 1. “She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid.” The Empire Strikes Back 10. “I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me.” 9. “Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?” 8. “There’s an awful lot of moisture in here.” 7. “But now we must eat. Come, good food, come…” 6. “That’s okay, I’d like to keep it on manual control for a while.” 5. “Control, control! You must learn control!” 4. “Hurry up, golden-rod…” 3. “I must’ve hit it pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh kid?” 2. “Possible he came in through the south entrance.” 1. “And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!” Return of the Jedi 10. “Hey, point that thing someplace else.” 9. “I look forward to completing your training. In time you will call me master.” 8. “I never knew I had it in me.” 7. “There is good in him, I’ve felt it.” 6. “Grab me, Chewie. I’m slipping — hold on. Grab it, almost… you almost got it. Gently now, all right, easy, easy, hold me Chewie.” 5. “Hey, Luke, thanks for coming after me — now I owe you one.” 4. “Back door, huh? Good idea!” 3. “She’s gonna blow!” 2. “I think you’ll fit in nicely.” 1. “Rise, my friend.”And of course,
“Wedge! Pull out! You’re not doing any good back there!”
Corduroy Suit, you make me ROTFLOL.
The sand people are easily frightened, but they will be back soon, and in greater numbers.
Worst film ever
Worse than Monster A Go-Go?
JP I’d rather watch Brain from Planet Arous over and over again then this thinly veiled remake of the Hidden Fortress.
Come on people this is just light fun; relax.
Where’s City Girl when you need her? Why all the hate indeed.
“You must contact me”
Corduroy Suit, epic post!
I like it when Leia calls Solo a “scruffy-looking nerf herder.”
Are you…brain dead? I’m not going in there…with two Jedi.
…
Send de droid…
Don’t mind me, I’m just going to resurrect this thread.
“I find your lack of faith disturbing”
what’s with all this Star Wars hate? if there’s some notion that it’s not “Auteurs” worthy then I’m sorry, but what a load of bullshit. the title of this site is unhealthily misleading. there is enough emphasis placed on the director of a film as the god or “artist” of the work already, we really don’t need an entire site full of this sort of notion and pretenses. the great films are always, always collaborative efforts.
/rant
anyway, my favorite line is probably “May the force be with you” as spoken by Han Solo. such a movie moment
“Jabba, you’re a wonderful human being.”
I feel so sorry for people that don’t enjoy the original trilogy.
“the title of this site is unhealthily misleading. there is enough emphasis placed on the director of a film as the god or “artist” of the work already, we really don’t need an entire site full of this sort of notion and pretenses.”
I would like to make a direct plea to those who are holding Seth captive and forcing him to put up with all of this pretentiousness:
PLEASE LET HIM GO!!!
@ Mike Spence
I never said anything about pretentiousness. I’m merely talking about the unhealthy connotations that the word “auteur” has.
anyway, “You’ve taken your first step into a larger world.” is another favorite.
Oh, but what’s that got to do with this thread? No one said Lucas wasn’t an auteur, though I’m sure many don’t think he’s a very good one.
@ Mike
“no. sorry, no.”
“Lock thread please.”
“Do we really need a Star Wars thread at The Auteurs?”
“do we ? In my opinion, No we don’t .”
That’s what I’m getting at. No need. This is supposed to be a site of intelligent film-lovers; go to IMDb for that kind of talk. If people want to discuss favorite lines from a movie they love, let them be. There was a viciousness towards Star Wars because it’s a “non-arty” or “non-Auteursy” film (again, the sort of thinking stemmed the aforementioned connotation).
I agree the “viciousness” comes from it being “non-arty” but still don’t think that has much to do with Lucas status as an auteur. I also agree that this thread is harmless, but that’s coming off seeing months of awful threads about pornos and such. Most of the comments you’re referring to were coming in the sites early stages and I suspect I would be annoyed by this myself if i ha been around in those legendary early days.
Why, well because there is nothing misleading about the title of the site. It appeals to many of of directly as a place where we won’t have to hear about Star Wars, Transformers and all the other mainstream stuff we aren’t really interested in. Does that mean we should knock those who are? Not necessarily, but to once again quote Chris Rock " I ain’t sayin it’s right, but I understand!!!
I was going to clarify this in my last post, but then I didn’t. Guess I should have. I was never defending or questioning Lucas’s status as an Autuer; the thought never even crossed my mind, honestly. If I appeared to express such, I apologize, it was not my intention.
You make a great point I hadn’t yet noticed, though: that this thread and those comments in question are quite dated. This fact is now duly noted.
And comparing Star Wars to Transformers (film wise anyway), them’s fightin’ words! But that’s another conversation ;)
Honey Bunny
Everyone has a favorite one, one that sticks out in their mind, one that’s just absolutely awful, one that just happens to come in regularly in conversation.
Mine’s from A New Hope (Luke’s line)
LEIA: It’s not over yet.
HAN SOLO: It is for ME, sister. Look, I ain’t in this for your revolution, and I’m not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I’M in it for the money.
LEIA: You needn’t worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that’s what you’ll receive. (beat) Your friend is quite the mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything. Or anybody.
LUKE: (calling after her) I care.
What is yours? Which one’s it from?
