I am so impressed by the level of maturity(for the most part;)
on these boards.

I've never registered on any SW site but this one I had to. I've been watching Theforce.net's for many years and this one blows it away. I never realized how immature and asinine their posts are. Waaay too "geeky" for my tastes.

Anyhow,just wanted to give you guys props for giving fans like myself who don't want to argue" red vs blue duel" nonsense and giving me something to look forward to every morning through my crusty eyes! The guys who've been busting their asses to show the dvd stuff get special thanks. This is what being a true fan is about and we all need to just enjoy the ride because it's going to be over before we know it...

BTW,I have various contacts who are prone to getting good leaks and I will gladly do what I can to share anything I get my hands on with you guys!
Thanks

Huge thanks to darthy and DF for the goods!

Seriously guys,these guys have given out probably more spoilers than anyone I've seen regarding Ep3. Lucasfilm has done an excellent job thus far controlling the leaks. The example they made of the employee from back in the Ep2 days made an impression.

I wouldn't pester them too much though and let them post what they want to when they have the time. I'd assume these guys lead busy lives

Unfortunately your little private party has been broken up by the other sites spreading the word of what's here. Not that I'm bashing those sites! I check TFN everyday and always will.It's just some of the posters in the forums over there are,how do I put it,a little on the immature side.
Hopefully all of those people will not migrate over here and bug these guys and make them not share any more good stuff!

And please don't let these boards get polluted by anymore arguments over whether Sidious is the Emperor or if Anakin uses a blue saber in the duel!
If you didn't already know these things then you should get off the computer and go watch the movies a few more times before you return...

Thanks DF and whoever else has been cool enough to post the killer spoilers. Don't get caught!

Not only fired but prosecuted.

I believe he ended up with a suspended sentence but had to pay like a $10,000 fine or possibly more.

It definitely showed the LFL employees that they weren't playing around.
It caused such a leak shutdown,that without Hyperspace,we probably wouldn't know very much at all about Ep3.

Maybe some people would like it like that but Lucas is definitely not a fool to the free advertising the internet leaks caused and to boot he figured out HE could make a profit being the one giving out all of the "spoilers".

Hence:Hyperspace

Anyway,here's the article...

Lucas employee joined the darkside
Accused of bootlegging film on the internet
Nick Farrell, vnunet.com 11 Oct 2002

A former production assistant for Lucasfilm has been accused of bootlegging a copy of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and circulating it over the internet.

Shea O'Brien Foley has been accused of stealing aspects of the latest Star Wars trilogy film before its release, including CD-Rom discs containing sound effects, storyboard images, the film's score, and digital images and video files associated with the film.

According to the Marin Independent Journal newspaper, Foley hoarded stolen materials in his California townhouse.

Foley is being charged with four counts of unlawful access to a computer and nine counts of grand theft. He is being held at the Los Angeles County Jail on $200,000 bail, according to Marin County's deputy district attorney

first off, congrats on a great board...

and now for something I believe no one has mentioned yet:

this was posted by Ron Epstein at HTF...

"Again...I would argue with anyone that says
Greedo still shoots first.

As far as the leaks are concerned, it seems
apparant that copies have leaked off somewhere
along the replication line."

As you know, he was present at the big press conference for the long lead publications and saw footage from the upcoming dvds. Him saying that the leaked rips are coming from the replication line implies that THESE ARE IN FACT FINAL COPIES AND NOT WORKS IN PROGRESS!!!!!!

IMHO...most of the "bad" saber shots are unusually dark, therefore I believe they have not been tweaked at all, only cleaned up by LOWRY along with the rest of the picture, and that the contrast has been screwed up when it was ripped...remember that a lot of caps from dark scenes are way too dark (Dianoga) to be seen properly...read'em and weep, boys...

again, keep up the great work you are doing...and a big thank you to Darth First for all the info he keeps bringing...

So what do you ney-sayers have to say now?

Dude both of those last 2 posts were copied directly from the last 2 posts from TFN's message boards on the same topic.

Is this really neccesary???

BTW,please don't clutter up this nice condensed 14 page thread like the horrific 495 page thread on TFN.

That thing is a ridiculous mess that's unreadable. Check this site out but keep the double-posting from both sites to a minimum.

All that bickering over there about whether or not's it's a final copy is totally irrelevant. Please don't drag those dumb arguements over here.

No one will know for sure until sometime in Sept. OK?

yeah, I know, I am the author of both postings...I was not aware one could not post on two boards simultaneously. I know some people here do not want to visit TFN, and viceversa...If I broke some unwritten law, I apologize...I was only trying to help, and since I was not copying somebody else's post, by posting my own (check the screen name) I though no harm was being done. Again, I apologize If I ofended anyone...

No offensive taken or intended!

I'm like you and just registered on this board because of all the nonsense on TFN boards.
I've just noticed some of the vets on this site complaining about some of that stuff from over there is creeping over here.

I agree with them that it would be a shame if that happened as this is about the only SW board that has rational commentary in it.

And giving TFN it's due,I just noticed some new screencaps of the Vader/Luke fight from Jedi that I haven't seen on these boards yet...

Calm down dude.

Why are most of your posts here WRITTEN LIKE THIS CUSSING ALL OVER THE PLACE?

Nobody here made you god to decide what people post! You're the only person I've seen on these boards who always has something negative to say about other people and tells them what to do.

For that reason alone, what you just wrote is hypocritical of what point you were trying to get across.

There's no need for anger...

"Poggle, you've been here for...one day and you're saying things like "don't bring that stuff on this board". Please. I wouldn't even feel comfortable saying that and I've been here 8 weeks. "

Well I thought I would be comfortable here talking to mature fans who don't throw around insults(or underlying insults like the one above) but maybe I was wrong.

The reason I haven't registered on any SW site forums until a day ago is just because of this very reason. I've been reading the boards on these sites since the beginning.

Why can't people chat with it turning into insults and arguements????

You don't know who you are talking to when you bash "newbies" so you just may be pissing off someone who was going to share some cool stuff...

Think about that before you be so quick to get into being condesending.

<<BECAUSE THE REGULARS HERE, AND THE NEW KIDS WHO GET IT, THEY FUCKING APPRECIATE IT.
You're acting like a goddamn dork, "Poggle" and I'm calling you on it. you can pay attention to what I wrote and act accordingly, or you can keep acting like a dork and watch your shit get moved to the forum where you're constantly made fun of, until you leave. >>>>>>>>>>

I can assure you my life will go on if some person in a SW forum makes fun of me.

<<Don't get your fuckin feelings hurt, but don't shit all over our boards, either. You've got 7 posts. 5 of them mention TFN more than once. 3 of them you're playing threadcop. YOU JUST GOT HERE. CHILL THE FUCK OUT. >>>>>>>>>>

You need to quit with the Force.net hating. We're all in this together.

<<<And pay attention. Stop asking first for anything, because if you read for more than three seconds, you'd know the soundclips he gave up ARE IT. He's done. You know why? >>>>>>

You obviously didn't even bother to read my posts very well because what you are saying has nothing to do with what I wrote.

<<<BECAUSE SHITBRICKS LIKE YOU AND THE 400 OTHER ASSHOLES who came running in here without a fucking thought in their heads irritated the holy hell out of him nonstop. He coughs up pictures, you beg for more, coughs up descriptions, still not enough, coughs up audio files, sorry, need more of em, and on top of that, he has to defend himself from every third newbie who thinks he PHOTOSHOPPED THE WHOLE FUCKING THING. >>

Again,if you read my posts you would see that we are very much in agreeance. I was "threadcopping" about the very fact that too many people are bugging DF and DP about posting stuff and argueing if it's real or not,etc...

Secondly,you don't need to curse everybody out to get your point across.

You are one angry dude and not a Star Wars fan I'd have any desire to hang around.
That's saying something because one of the best things about our fan community is that everyone I've ever met over the years have been from all races and walks of life yet we all are friends when it comes to Star Wars.

Bash me all you want because I'll not waste another minute giving you the attention you obviously so desire.

I'm sure others who read your mean spirited posts towards other people on here will agree that you only make yourself look bad when you do it.

You set a bad example for the MF boards to all the new people like myself here.


Thanks for the heartfelt welcome to the MF message boards ;P

I wanna Emperor's new video clip NOW!!!!!!!!!

(Hit the table and drop toys from the pam...) :heavymetal2:

Can't we all just.....get along?

<<<The instant he stops trying to play messageboard lawyer, this topic dries up, so just ride it out, man>>>

OK,I'm game for one more since you begged for it...

You are so unbelievably hypocritical and emotionally unstable I'm simply amazed.

Can't you see what I posted is exactly the same thing you're bitching about,ie: people writing post after post begging for this or that or has you anger impared your ability to read?
You're attacking the wrong guy my friend.

I can't believe you have the audacity to call me a "messageboard lawyer" when you seem to be the only one here barking orders at people.

I hate to be hypocritical myself and be insulting,but dude,you're about as dense an idiot as they come...
I guess every messageboard has to have one....

<<<TO PARAPHRASE YODA......

ANGER LEADS TO HATE>>>HATE LEADS TO SUFFERING

Can't we just get along????
Can't people have some TOLERANCE OF ONE ANOTHER??? >>>>

Agreed.

Seems like Fatboy is the only one here whose going out of his way to not get along with people.
Everyone else here seems very cordial and polite and doesn't POST ANGRY INSULTS CALLING PEOPLE DOUCEBAGS WITH FUCK IN THEM EVERY OTHER SENTENCE.

For someone who despises TFN so much he sure does act like some of the people who post there....

I would hope they guys who run this site would welcome any new people to the message boards.

It's a shame they allow that guy to troll around looking to bash and insult people who geniunely came here for good discussion about the MOVIES.

I would warn people who act like Fatboy and then ban them if they continued to act so immature and mean-spirited.
If you notice,he's the only person on here on insults people and used foul language to do it.

I would hope the people who run MF see this and act accordingly. I would think they value the extra hits on the site.

If not,oh well,there is always someone like him on every board who lives to screw with people.

It's usually because they need to get off the computer and get a life

Fatboy,you are a true messageboard asswhipper and I salute you for it.Too bad giving messageboard asswhippings doesn't get you girlfriends...

Oh, shut the fuck up you whining little twat !

"I'm a fan of Star Wars, NOT a fan of Star Wars fans !!"


Why would you want to be when they act like little immature assholes who've yet to move out of their mother's basement...

Thank God I have a life and don't have to live on Star wars messageboards as my only source of outside comminucation with the real world.

You guys have fun!

Bye-Bye-Bye.

Can this shit be moved?

You fucking nerds should be ashamed of yourselves.

I agree. It's a shame when we can't even get along with our own kind:)

What's funny is that these same people will practicaly be buttfucking each other while they stand in line for days next Sept.....

Hahahahahahahah, god this forum has REALLY gone down in quality when people are actually saying shit like this.

What's wrong with that?

If some other site had the pics and videos you'd be over there like we all would.

What is with this "clique" mentality here?

These people here act like some old bitches in a knitting group that doens't want to let anybody in?

WTF are they gonna do when their attention-deficient asses have no one to listen to them come 2006.....

<<<Hahahahahahahah, god this forum has REALLY gone down in quality when people are actually saying shit like this.>>>>>


Tell me about it...my first day posting and I already have my own 2 pages of angry geek comments!
I'm honored!

I must be saying something more interesting than the rest of the begging and insulting hordes on here...maybe that should tell you "old" guys around here something about the content of your beloved message boards.

It tells us that the content is surprisngly quality considering your realtively idiotic ramblings give us such a laugh.

Also, I love the irony in calling someone a geek when you shamelessly hopped on the bandwagon and registered here for the sole purpose of getting some meaningless screen caps and a DVD you would have ended up getting in September anyway.

Why would I register to get screen caps? I can see them all over the internet!

You didn't see me begging..Quite the opposite actually...

Looking for intelligent conversation regarding Star Wars but I couldn't find it.

No more battles of the wits with unarmed persons for me...

If we can block new Darth names, surely we can halt registration before one of these big spoiler orgies. This is fucking rediculous.

And the irony was totally lost on Mr Poggle !

You're such a feeler, Poggle. They even gave you a self topic and you still moan and bitch.

...Not worth the effort here.
