Yeah, they might do something crazy like hire a competent director who is also a huge fan and the writer of the undisputed best film in the series. Wouldn't want that to happen, would we?High Priest Mikhal wrote:I think Diz-knee having the full rights and licenses to the Star Wars franchise is horrifying enough. .
I'm about as big a SW fanboy as they come (OK, that's a dangerous statement to make on the internet. No, I don't have a Life-size AT-ST or anything.

Apparently we are cut from the same cloth. I bought that game at an auction and played with my family (who have seen the movies). I limit myself by not using the hyperspace spaces and I had several issues with being more correct or too specific (What did Han hit in the Millennium Falcon's cockpit in Empire? I said the Nav Computer in the rear of the cockpit. The card holder said that is wrong, it was the ceiling. I said the Nav Computer is above the entrance of the cockpit! It was counted as wrong. Maddening!). I found good points to the prequels, but the original trilogy was so much better (remakes be damned!).Gonzoron of the FoS wrote:I'm about as big a SW fanboy as they come (OK, that's a dangerous statement to make on the internet.

* I own SW Trivial Pursuit. No one will play with me. I once got my wife and Brother-in-law to play, but only if I agreed to answer 10 questions right in a row to count as 1 right answer. I still won. If I hypothetically could play Ravenloft Trivial Pursuit against my clone playing SW Trivial Pursuit, I think the Ravenloft me would win, but it would be close. But then I'd have a clone, which is cool, and I wouldn't even make him add an extra vowel to his name, because that's dumb. (I loved the Zahn books when I read them like 15 years ago, but looking back on them now.... eh... this penny arcade comic comes to mind.)
Thank you, MOE. That pretty much explains all my fears and why I hate Diz-knee. That, and their pointless lawsuits against independent artists using their characters in ways the company didn't like. They had to have known others were doing similar things practically since Steamboat Willy debuted. So when the Internet brings such things out into the open they throw a legal temper tantrum and try to do what others before have failed to do with mail and 7-Eleven magazine racks, much less something as vast and decentralized as the Web. Do I really need to go on?Manofevil wrote:How can we have faith in Di$ney when they did THIS: http://www.youtube.com/attribution_link ... TRCqpJsJtw

It's movie only, and OT only (I think there were a few bonus cards with Ep1 questions because the movie had just come out, or was just about to come out when the game was released.)Zilfer wrote:I would love to play with you Gonzoron but does it only include the Movie Trivia or does it open to EU?
Yeah, I get about half of those. I'm not a big EU fan, but I've dabbled. And I get a lot by internet osmosis.I mean if I say....Do those even say anything to you?
