. . . and I always have a snicker at those poor droids' expense. Just goes to show one sheep's grumble is another's chuckle.

SW has never been about gore or shock-value visuals, + since a Cesarean delivery makes sense given the circumstances,

Why not? The bitchy sheep always like more blood and violence in the film, and the bitchy sheep always want more Portamn in the film, and I would imagine most especially if the Portman material involves her vagina.. so wouldn't the combination of the two just be the ultimate for them? :monocle:


Wouldn't finding out your beloved Jedi hero husband and father of your child is actually a great and terrible Sith Lord, intent on ruling the galaxy, be enough to make your vagina bleed?

Agreed. :mrgreen:

Well, Palpatine is there waffling on about how some of the Sith stuff is considered 'unnatural ' but that's taking it a bit far to be fair :mrgreen:

Yeah, mine would be squirting everywhere.

Or nothing at all! They're robots! With fucking antennas! Why the fuck do they communicate verbally!?! Why do they have separate consciousnesses ahhhhahshshughuhahahuha

On another note, why do robots drive robot army vehicles!!!?!! They knew the vehicles were gonna be for a robot army... why the fuck didn't they just give them robot brains??!??!

Same reason there are sounds and explosions in space. If you don't get it, I don't know how you made it past the first shot of the first episode of Star Wars. Go watch Star Trek.

That was probably one of the pointless lines ever uttered in TPM

Actually, I found it one of the few genuinely funny lines in the PT, those battledroids are more hilarious than the OT stormtroopers.

Which is why I love the scene with SBDs and R2 in ROTS, the squeaky voices, the beatings, everything. How anyone could equate that with unfunny Jar-Jar antics, I´ll never understand. :cool:

Because sometimes, they might need biologicals to drive them, if the droids malfunction or are lost.

There are sounds and explosions in space in ST as well. Still makes little sense other than being 'spectacle'.

1) How did you see footage of SBD's speaking? They don't have squeaky voices in Republic Commando, and that's the only media that's been widely released that you see SBD's speaking in.

Like the poster above said, it´s a clip taken from the digital Trivial Pursuit. And it´s pretty funny:

*R2 slams into a wall*

SBD: Don´t move, stubby!

*R2 zaps him*

SBD: OUCH. Zap THIS! *Kicks him hard*

Imagine a Smurf-voice, and you´ve got it.

2) If there were no explosions or sounds in space it would just be damn boring to watch anyway.

No-one has done it, except for Stanley Kubrick. And that wasn´t meant to be an action-film in the traditional sense.

No-one has ever tried to do fastpaced space-action with no sound and rapidly disappearing fires. The music would play a larger role, for one thing. As would dialog between pilots.

I can't imagine a space fight without sound effects. Sure it's unlogical from a scientific point of view, but for us people who have evolved with sounds all around us, it's unnatrual to see explosions and not hear anything.

Even if the music was powerful, you'd still feel something's missing.

Just for variety´s sake, I´d like to see at least one film without it.

Apollo 13 I think didn't have sound effects in space.

I think they had some slight 'whoosh' sounds in there somewhere. I´ll have to rewatch it to check.

I haven't seen Apollo 13 in several years, but I distinctly remember the sound not completely cutting out during every space shot.

That would have been cool, actually. But then people would be ripping Ron Howard for doing a bad Kubrick impersonation.

That is pretty silly, since then you´d have to claim Kubrick was ripping off space itself. :P
