  OK, lets take it to Off Topic.
 
We've got a whole page of updates full of off topic here. Lets focus on Star Wars Lego. I hate taking the few times a day I can come to view this great site and pursue my hobby to find it dominated by people taking little things personally, (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: A couple stupid SW questions...
 
(...) I didn't mean to insult Babylon 5 fans either! I was merely using it as an "alternative." I could have used any SCI-FI movie or series, B5 was the first to pop into my head. IMO people who criticize the SW movies come off like non-SW fan... I (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

  Re: Mark's Lego Creations Design-A-Civvie Contest (rev B)
 
(...) I just noticed one more thing: On your web site you don't mention how to enter. You should probably include a "How to enter" heading with possibly an email form included, or at least, your email address. --Bram (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: A couple stupid SW questions...
 
(...) Exactly. It doesn't happen in my family much 'coz we're all better in hebrew, but my parents' friends' and their kids often switch languages, for example when the mom talks Hebrew to the kids (her native language) and the kids, who've lived in (...)

  Re: A couple stupid SW questions...
 
(...) Actually, IMO its easier to communicate that way than for one person to switch over entirely. I understand Flemish (Dutch) and Spanish much better than I can speak them, so if the person I'm talking to speaks English well enough, I may very (...)

  Re: A couple stupid SW questions...
 
(...) Shiri is right. Here in Canada we are a bilingual country (well, really only parts are). My skills in speaking in french have only really developed in the last few years but my understanding has always been strong. I remember in high school (...)

Ahh, so with all of the suns in the universe, time travel is only possible by going around the Earth's Sun ;) As beat up as the MF is I thing that Klingon Bird of Prey was in worse shape.

  Re: A couple stupid SW questions...
 
(...) Has no one ever heard of a bow? Chewie bends over a bit, the princess stretches, and the medal is bestowed. Oh, well. The scene more-or-less worked the way it was intended. Lucas never did understand the dynamics of the little group of (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: A couple stupid SW questions...
 
(...) True. From personal experience, people in real-life prefer to talk in their native toungue if they know that the person will understand them. I've seen lots of families in which the parents constantly speak to their kids in one language, and (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

  Re: A couple stupid SW questions...
 
(...) I think you must have missed but that dog has been roundly critisized by the Mexican American community. They have repeatedly asked for the adds to be pulled and Taco Bell keeps coming back with some other lame excuse as to why the dog is not (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

  Re: A couple stupid SW questions...
 
(...) Besides which, the whole issue depends on suspension of disbelief (see, Greg--that's how it works!) Obviously aliens wouldn't speak English, but are you really interested in watching a show in which 58 minutes of each episode are devoted to (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: A couple stupid SW questions...
 
(...) I read that the Nemoidians were criticized for sounding too "middle eastern," which I didn't perceive at all. From the first time I heard JarJar, though, I couldn't help seeing decades-old stereotypes of the finest step-and- (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
