  1. Playing rebellion again and watching the movies I was inspired to write a comical sketch. The thing that really sparked it was seeing Anakin appear at the end of Return of the Jedi. That was so ridiculeously weird. So I wrote a sketch about dead jedi appearing in somebody's bed room... Somebody, a guy, wakes up in the middle of the night in his suburban bedroom. After waking up he sees Yoda, Ben and Anakin staring at him. They have become one with the force and are beings of light. Guy-Who are you? Dead Yoda- beings of light are we..One with the force we have become. Guy - Well that's all great but what are you doing in my bedroom? Dead Ben Kenobi- Life as a dead jedi gets pretty boring at times. We go to parties, occasionally get asked to be in 'A Christmas Carrol' but beyond that there's not much you can do not being transparent and all. Dead Anakin - In other words ..we like to watch. Guy- That's still doesn't answer what you are doing in MY bedroom? Dead Yoda- Long have we watched you. Always walking around with his shirt the wrong way, his shoes untied, etc, etc (I need some other ridiculeous and embarrassing activities but can't come up with them right now) Guy - Am I the only one you are watching Dead Yoda- No.. there is another ..a girl. Guy (excited)- Is she hot? Dead jedi look at eachother for a moment, then nod in agreement Guy – So are you here to train me as a jedi? Dead Yoda – No, learned all we could teach, you have Guy – but you haven’t taught me anything? Dead Yoda – Exactly.. Dead Kenobi – Jedi have lots of patience, and we have all the time in the world being dead and all but there’s a limit to even what Jedi can do. Dead Anakin – You are beyond help.. That’s what makes you fun to watch. Guy - What about the girl? Dead Kenobi – She’s hopeless too Suddenly the door creaks open. Guy’s mom takes a peek. Dead jedi hide.. Guy’s mom: What’s all that noise? What are you doing in there? Guy: Nothing, mom go to sleep!! Guy’s mom: You’re going to go blind, you know, if you’re doing what I think you are doing. Father Miller said so just this weekend. Guy’s mom closes the door and leaves. Dead jedi come out of hiding. Guy: Listen guys, I don’t know about you but I got to get some sleep. I’ve got a big presentation tommorow and I still have squat. Dead Anakin: Yeah we’re looking forward to that one.. Guy: Great.. Well goodnight. Dead Kenobi- Don’t let the bedbugs bite. END of scene Let me know if it's funny.. or not. A friend of mine says I should become a writer but it's really hard.
  2. I just got about a thousand dollars back from the tax authorities. It's not a huge amount of money like winning the lottery but still, to a poor student like me, it's 'extra money', right? For the past couple of weeks I have been 'sitting' on the money not sure as to what to do with it. I finally decided that letting it roll is probably the best thing, much better then spending it on college or saving for a big safari or something. I am off to see James Brown next weekend. (I hope he don't die on me the coming week!! ) ......but, anyways, tell me this: If you were poor student like me and had 1000 dollars free to spend what would YOU do with it?
  3. I don't think Enland has much of a chance of winning this tournament to be perfectly honest, but still I really felt sorry for those 30.000 fans in the stands in Portugal who saw their team loose to their worst enemies in the very, VERY, last minute of the game, after playing an 'almost' perfect game. That was sad.. That was as much of a Greek tragedy as the one that happened the day before. Still that's football and the beauty of sports at the highest level. I don't think soccer sucks or that either game can be said to be 'better'. Maybe camel-racing is a much better sport, but what do we know?! Most of us have only seen a camel in the zoo getting fat and even more ugly. Both soccer and American football really suck at times, and disappoint the even the most fanatic fan. Still there are some games that no matter what sport you are interested in can capture the imagination of anyone for enlarging universal themes, metaphores for our daily lives. Johan Cruyff referred to it as 'Una momento dado', an event that turned to be the turning point. People in Catalunia still use the phrase to descibe their own turning point in their lives. Johan Cruyff as manager of Barcelona, the biggest soccer-team in the world, once lost a game 6-3 to, the much smaller, Zaragossa. After the game, the press was curious as to what the response would be of the great master after loosing the game in such a disgraceful manner. Somewhere in Barcelona, a young man turned on the radio after he has heared that his team had lost 6-3! ...to Zaragossa!!! The young man expected Cruyff to blame the defeat to the conditions of the pitch, the referee or whatever but instead Cruyff simply replied: "Because of this defeat, we will win the season.." Everybody laughed, Barcelona was some ten points behind on everybody else and seemed to be out of the race completely, but Johan Cruyff had upto that moment never been wrong about anything, and he turned out to be right at the end of the season. In one of the last games of the season, Bebeto, the topscorer of the rival competitor, missed a penalty and Barcelona edged Deportivo de La Coruna to win championship!! The young man thinking back to when Johan said what he said, though about why this defeat was so important and realized that he could turn his own 'defeats' into victories too. He had lost his girlfriend that year, the love of his life but because of what he lost, the knowledge that sometimes, a certain moments, you can turn defeat into victory, he was ever so much more succesful in all the other areas of his life.
  4. A friend of mine says that the icecaps are melting so fast that in 75 years nobody will have to worry about anything anymore. I have also heared that sometime soon there is going to be another polarity reversal in the earths gravity field. It happens once every so many million years, and we are due for another one. Then again, I believe that whatever comes our way, our people will adapt to whatever threat comes our way and grow stronger becomes of it. Maybe a real imminent global distaster might bring people closer together somehow and look past their differences.
  5. Does Darth Maul wear socks do you think?
  6. Yes, thanks.. I always thought for some reason that espionage was the priniciple factor for detecting enemy missions and foiling them and that leadership was just for battles. Not complicated, this is.. but confusing sometimes indeed.
  7. I don't have any starwars pyamas (..and I DO wear clothes when I play. GEEZZ ), but out of my fascination/sentiment for Star Wars I did buy 5 boxes of the collectable cardgame and I don't even know how to play!! I didn't care. It was Star Wars, and so that was enough reason to buy it, and keep buying it, somehow.
  8. Like the thread says I am just curious.. Besides, I think this thread will probably go instict by itself, though.. ..UNLESS, there are a lot of people with interesting, wonderful, impossible-to-joke-about star wars-pyama's, offcourse. Then we could exchange star wars fashion tips maybe
  9. ...do you guys have Starwars pyamas and uniforms?
  10. Okay.. I joined up. I'd really like to do some roleplaying. I have played a lot of roleplaying games on my computer like megatraveller, The Bardstale II (a loooooooooong time ago..) , and most recently Temple of Elemental Evil. I have tried to find people to roleplay with but it seems that these days, everybody is too busy all the time to ever make anything happen. The RPG here is a bit too confusing for me. It seems like you have a history of 100's of years of roleplaying, know every paragraph from the SW books and I have only seen the movies and played the games. Maybe you should have a thread for beginners or something..
  11. At least I have the benefit of learning from the other people's mistakes, though I am bound to make a couple myself here and there. I think creating a computergame would be cool. Phantasy and games are two things I love. I did enroll myself into a college course for journalism next year, but I am not totally sure that I want to do that at this stage in my life. I'd like to get a little crazy, maybe.. Is JediGreg still a member? I could try to contact him and ask him if he would be willing to join our little 'rebellion' 2. Also maybe I should look in other places for programmers interested in Star Wars. What sort of language do they need to be qualified in, anyways?
  12. Yes, only if he has the special skill called 'teaching', and if the student is not '.. too old to begin the training'. I think having some randomly created characters would be cool too. Then these characters could actually infiltrate the enemy pretending to be Imperial, or Rebels by letting themselves be 'recruited' by the other side. Maybe you could spawn these randomly created characters somehow from the training centre instead of the 'spies', 'infiltrators' or whatever.
  13. None of them seem to be well defended in the beginning when you are playing rebels. A handful of troopers, a couple of fighters and one general (which you would have to get there first), don't seem to offer much protection. Even when you can defend the planet you would like to be recruiting on with with a fully combined fleet, it still means that the other planets are not defended and then espionage could give away that ALL your characters, Luke, Han and Leia are on that planet recruiting people making it a very attractive target for an imperial invasion fleet, right?
  14. Well maybe, if money in making the film wasn't an issue, they would have shot the scenes with Ackbar under water. I want to see Vader try and board that vessel!! I agree with you that they are not humanoid, probably more oceanic like the oceanic species in masters of orion 3.
  15. Is paella banned on Mon Calamari, do you think?
