I remember in the early eighties, Merla and I had those little books that came with a small record. Some of you fogier types should recall those. Those were fun.

"You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear R2-D2 Beep like this..."

Yeah, I remember those.

Fiero · « **Reply #242 on:** Jul 04, 2010, 01:23:52 AM »

Your comment makes me wonder if you just listened to one.

Rama · « **Reply #243 on:** Jul 04, 2010, 01:32:49 AM »

No, I had several. Both record and cassette ones. It's just that's the one I remembered best. Plus I had two that had that on it. Return of the Jedi and Droid World. I also had Mickey Mouse's Christmas Carol, The Story of Davey Cocket, Swiss Family Robinson, Peter Pan. And that is just off the top of my head. I had a lot of Disney ones.

B E C K · « **Reply #244 on:** Jul 04, 2010, 05:32:37 PM »

Ditto on the Disney ones. The one I remember the most though was some generic one about Chicken Little.

Rama · « **Reply #245 on:** Jul 05, 2010, 01:03:06 AM »

I seem to remember I got them in the mail or something. Like I got a Disney book a month or something like that.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #246 on:** Jul 06, 2010, 09:33:55 AM »

OH SHIT I had one of those too! it was the Beauty and the Beast one, it was AWESOME.

Damn.

I sure do want to fuck some Disney princesses.

Now Rumble, that was my fault.

B E C K · « **Reply #251 on:** Jul 06, 2010, 11:01:14 PM »

Really? I could've sworn that was my fault.

Derrick · « **Reply #252 on:** Jul 06, 2010, 11:23:03 PM »

Was it? I don't want to claim your work.

Rama · « **Reply #253 on:** Jul 07, 2010, 12:42:58 AM »

It was my fault. Doesn't matter I wasn't here when it happened...still my fault. Everything is Rama's fault.

Not this one, plagarist.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #255 on:** Jul 07, 2010, 10:06:34 AM »

It was Tom's fault (said by Rumble himself) lol. He got a little too upset about what he said regarding that dutch murderer guy.

No. I won't touch the twilight stuff.

I'm actually reading Han Solo At Star's End. It was one of those EU novels before those become the lifeblood of all SW nerds. (I never cared for them myself.) But since this one was published in 79, a mere two years after the movie I decided to give it a chance.

I actually own an original copy of Splinter of the Mind's Eye which was the very first St*r WarzzZZ "EU" novel ever written (the first actual SW novel was the novelization of A New Hope). It was written before the first movie hit theaters and was planned as a possible low-budget sequel to the movie, but after Ep VI did so well they scrapped it and went with Empire instead, thankfully. The novel's all right but there are inconsistencies that clash with the later movies.

WOW... I totally don't even remember that. Which of the many Dutch murderers was this?

Derrick · « **Reply #259 on:** Jul 07, 2010, 09:27:55 PM »

The one murdered by Islamic Extremists, Van Gough's great nephew or whatever. Rumble's a whiney brat if that offended him. I didn't cut the guys head off in the name of he who shall not be named or else a bus explodes.

Derrick · « **Reply #262 on:** Jul 08, 2010, 11:44:12 AM »

Bitchy primadonna. That Van Gough wasn't even that good at anything. There was not loss, he pissed on the wrong people to be edgy and ended up a martyr. I didn't even know who that was before this incident.

Fiero · « **Reply #263 on:** Jul 08, 2010, 02:34:09 PM »

When you said, "that Van Gogh," I was bout to open up a shit can. Then I figured out what you meant. And then I agreed with you.

I actually own a first printing of the novelization of the first movie. The one that says "Soon to be a major motion picture." on the cover and using concept art from the movie on the cover. Says it was written by George Lucas, but it was actually ghost written by someone else.

Derrick · « **Reply #265 on:** Jul 08, 2010, 03:37:22 PM »

Splinter of the Mind's Eye was awful. I remember hearing about it when I was younger, fresh off of reading the heir to the empire movies (friggin' kids don't realize how lucky they are now with all the comics, vidya games, and tv shows, etc.) and I thought that SotME was going to be awesome. It was horrid.

Now that I think about it, Van Gogh looks like House. And no, I'm not obsessed.

Speaking of the Van Gogh guy, I'm not shedding tears over him but I think it's pathetic that he gets killed by some bitchy ass muslims who are offended by his work. Islam needs to take the fucking pinecone out of their asses and turn the other cheek.

It was written by Alan Dean Foster, the same guy who wrote Splinter.

I found it seemed kind of ... off. Such as Luke drooling over Leia and humping her leg, even though the movies show him having little interest in Leia because deep down he KNEW they were related (and all through the book I'm like EWWW INCEST!). And at the end of the novel Vader does this "Force Punch" where he makes a flying energy fist, something I've never seen him do in the movies (although I've heard of such a force powet mentioned in EU so it might be canon). And then Vader falls down a deep pit which should have killed him, yet he's still alive for Empire?

Yea, I'm glad they went with Empire for the sequel.
