FRUSTRATION of the fangirlish variety.
Ridiculously nerdy rant to follow.Dear George Lucas:
Please stop being a goober. It's getting really annoying.
First off, can you immediately fire your script writers for having General Grievous refer to himself willingly, much less in jest, as a "droid"? He's a cyborg. A biodroid even. He is not one of your kiss-me-ass little "Roger Roger" assembly line bots. He hates being called a droid, it's already been established that he'll horribly maim you for the offensive reference; so how about putting two seconds of thought into dialogue before you throw random blather into his mouth.
As an upside, I was excited to see the good General (finally) dish out some cool kick-ass moves during battle in episode 7 -- but then you go and pit Ahsoka up against him where he proceeds to get his ass handed to him on a dinky padawan-sized platter? I mean... really? Ahsoka? SERIOUSLY? This guy is supposed to be a freaking warlord and the most renown Jedi killer the galaxy has seen and you let him get tromped by a rookie? D: HE SHOULD HAVE SKEWERED HER EFFORTLESSLY LIKE A PIECE OF BBQ'D PORK. (Ahsoka really irks me, I hate how she walks straight into the show being as talented as Anakin. Strong female support character, my ass... She's just unnecessary. I hope they kill her off eventually and that explains why she's not in RotS.)
Now I realize this is a show aimed for a slighter younger audience, but could you please recycle in some other Seperatist baddie to be humiliated every episode by the heros just for the sake of catering to the content advisory board? Grievous is not the pwnzee -- he's the PWNZOR. If you're going to keep featuring him in this show, then put him to work and actually let him kill off some good guys like he's supposed to.
:c I've been so stoked to see some of the carnage that Grievous supposedly deals out during the Clone Wars like all the Star Wars extended backstory says he does. I have yet to be impressed, Mr. Lucas. Could you please take your head out of your arse and stop fucking with the continuity of your own universe.
Kthanxbai.
Amen! I haven't seen Grievous cause this much of a furor since he lead the attack on the Corellian Trade Spine!
I didn't know you were such a Star Warrior there Beans. Why have we never waxed poetic about the merits of Empire? The make-no-sensery of AT-AT design? The fact that I have an 8X10 glossy of Boba Fett signed by Jeremy Bulloch himself?!!
LOL, oh no Chris, you've discovered my dark secret of ultimate nerdy fangirlism! :B
Before you get all excited about intense philosophical Star Wars discussions though, I should confess something. *Shifty eyes* I'm not actually a SW fangirl, I'm simply an overblown General Grievous fangirl. (Okay, and maybe with a bit of Obiwan thrown in for kicks, but he's played by Ewan McGregor so can you really blame me?)
I've seen the entire series and everything, but truth be told the only reason I actually bothered to go see Revenge of the Sith in theaters was because I was so excited to see this crazy ass cyborg character everyone was raving about. I have this morbid fascination with cool villains. It leads to reading copious amounts of fanfiction and drawing fanart and generally being a little obsessive.
As far as AT-ATs go, I unfortunately have no idea what those are. But if you want to talk about how Grievous saved Nute Gunray's sniveling ass at the Battle of Geonosis or his life as Qymaen jai Sheelal before being hijacked in by the CIS, then I'm your girl.
Brenna. How the fuck do you not know what an AT-AT is? Go jump off a bridge, while watching Empire Strikes Back. Or just watch Empire Strikes Back. I'm so shocked and offended, it doesn't even make sense.
I'm not sure she's ever seen The Empire Strikes Back y'know.
Okay FIRST @ Chelle: Of course I've seen the bloody Empire Strikes Back! It's the one with the snow planet, right...? See, I've seen it. I just don't remember it very well. :P
@ Lance: Are they those big giant walky-stompy robot dealios? If so, why don't you just call them a easily recognizable name, like... "giant walky-stompy robots"?
*Checks Wiki just in case*
HUZZUH I AM TRIUMPHANT. See? I know my Star Wars. Vaguely. ¬_¬
Oh Brenna, Episodes 1-3 of Star Wars were not very good.
Well no, they weren't really, but in my opinion none of the Star Wars are really that great. Eps 1 - 3 were an extra special shade of not very good, however, due to their extra special shade of HORRIBLE ACTING and script. And you know, Jar Jar Binks. *THROTTLES*
The characters are all that make the series' shine for me at all really. Haan Solo, Obiwan, Vader, and obviously Grievous, are all totally cool.
(Okay, and maybe with a bit of Obiwan thrown in for kicks, but he's played by Sir Alec Guiness so can you really blame me?)
