is this common knowledge?

Really? The move starts with the text, "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...".

7/27/2011 5:44:19 PM

i remember a bunch of text at the beginning but i never read it

7/27/2011 5:45:13 PM

It's a trap!

7/27/2011 5:45:38 PM

i thought "it's a trap" was from star trek

7/27/2011 5:47:12 PM

It's a troll!

7/27/2011 5:49:07 PM

^^ Because of this, I'm going to assume this is a troll thread.
otherwise, massive amounts of would ensue.

I just kind of assumed it was in an alternate universe/galaxy, as some of the technology is around where we are (walky talky kinda things), some of it's a little less advanced (some amount of cooking), and some of it's mad crazy advanced (all of the land vehicles that aren't pulled by creatures hover, light sabers, traveling through space, etcerera)

if it's an alternate universe then i don't feel so bad, because the time in our universe wouldn't have anything to do with the time in the alternate universe

7/27/2011 5:51:54 PM

Alternate galaxy and time dimension, I guess, as I think you'll find that the universe pretty much covers everything.

7/27/2011 5:55:13 PM

I thought Star Trek and Star Wars took place in the same galaxy/time frame.

7/27/2011 5:55:27 PM

star trek is def in the future

7/27/2011 5:56:55 PM

^^^shut up woman get on my horse speeder

7/27/2011 5:59:39 PM

I heard same guy that played Picard also played Vader under the mask. Right?

This book is the philosophical foundation that said Lucas franchise rests upon.

Campbell spent many a night at the Skywalker Ranch.

Read this and you'll know that Vader is Vishnu, which is also inspiration for the name, Vader, derived etymologically from Vishnu

Omg. I never thought about that. I'm such an idiot sometimes.

7/27/2011 6:24:39 PM

Wait, so this isn't the final fight between Luke and Vader?

I don't usually watch the end movie credits unless you're supposed to like Hangover or Ferris Bueller or if they have outtakes

but the opening credits? come on, man

7/27/2011 6:26:57 PM

Its funny how technology in the newer movies seemed more advanced than it did in the older movies. Lucas kind've dropped the ball with that one. I would almost give an arm to see episodes 7, 8 and 9 made though.

7/27/2011 6:32:56 PM

The original trilogy is amazing in not only how inspirational it was to so much that came after it, but also how incredibly dense it is with references and subtle nods to everything that came before it. I believe James Rolfe (The Angry Nerd) did a review of the original trilogy and touched on all the things that inspired it, and how it pays homage to them. It's worth the watch.

Also,

7/27/2011 6:50:45 PM

yall niggas postin in a galaxy far far away...

7/27/2011 6:53:49 PM

I believe it's a movie about the Irish before the discovery of alcohol.

7/27/2011 6:54:45 PM

to NeuseRvrRat, I was hoping someone would pick up on that, that was my way of correcting my previous my post.

My word, man - how can you say this without mentioning Monty Python & the Holy Grail ? May the fleas of a thousand Llamas infest your armpits.

^ Same with the opening credits for Robin Hood: Men In Tights. They things on fire!

Having worn a star wars tshirt today, I feel obligated to post in this thread

7/27/2011 9:02:02 PM

point of order, Battlestar galatica is also set in the past. Blew my mind when I found this out in the storyline as well.

7/27/2011 9:22:25 PM

GrayAlias33 is on my shitlist

has considered maybe star wars is way in the future but the narrator is way way in the future?

maybe i wasn't so dumb
