    Re: A couple stupid SW questions... —James Simpson
   (...) I remain skeptical. Chewie could have kneeled or bowed low. It was careless to put Chewie in the scene (particularly since the whole audience knows that he deserves to be honored), and then fail to adequately recognize his bravery. Lucas gets (...)

        Re: A couple stupid SW questions... —Dave Schuler
     (...) In addition, both Luke and Han bowed somewhat accomodate Leia's reach, so a deeper bow from Chewie wouldn't have been out of place. Does the fact that he was First Mate rather than Captain have anything to do with it? Just a thought, though he (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

     (...) Perhaps for some reason Chewbacca declined a medal? If he felt that he was merely performing part of his life-debt to Han, for example, he might well have said "no thanks" to receiving an award. eric (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

   (...) hmmm... and how many movies have you directed? Quit calling the kettle black until you become a pan... or something like that... :) When you make your millions from an excellent series of sci fi movies come back and we'll talk. Otherwise, (...)

     (...) You may not have offended him, but you've managed to get me miffed. I happen to be a fan of both Star Wars *and* Babylon 5, and I don't see how the two are mutually exclusive. eric (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: A couple stupid SW questions... —Bryan Hodges
     (...) 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)

      (...) Heh. S'ok. I was mostly kidding. (...) Err. I saw a nanofig Narn fighter as well. That's about it. There have been several ships "based on" the Starfury, though I can't remember the URLs offhand. I've changed the subject and set a follow-up to (...)

      (...) your (...) Same thing to me, why you chose to get huffy over movie critique escapes me. Movie critique is a right of every fan. What would be the point of fandom if you are only allowed conditions like these for discussion? You can only (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
     
          Re: A couple stupid SW questions... —Bryan Hodges
      (...) Uh... I ain't huffy... :) My mood remains as it has been. I'm fairly relaxed actually. (...) I didn't say that... again you're putting words in my mouth. I was merely stating that it's pointless to complain about things you can't change. Even (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Aaron (and we, in general) aren't complaining in the hope that George will re-do anything; we're complaining because George didn't do it as well as he might have, given certain differences of aesthetic sensibility.

      (...) I think the only thing this group is debating comes up to us "qualified experts (snicker)" grading a body of work which we have studied. We are a bunch of know-it-alls on Star Wars (my name is Aaron, and I'm a Star Wars addict). I just like to (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
