The Dominion Carillonneur played the Star Wars theme on our Parliament's bells today. Have a listen!

We also have a national anthem written in the two official languages and both of them don't even mean the same thing.

...and I'm rather liking it, so far. Although I keep laughing at the memes that I know. "THESE ARE NOT THE DROIDS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR."

If you can, watch them in order of release. by

The prequel trilogy gets a lot more flak than it it deserves, IMO. They were good, just... not AS good as the originals. They were trying too hard. The special effects are pretty cool, though. Also, how much you like or dislike Jar-Jar is dependent on your age and which movies you saw first. I grew up with the prequels first - I liked him when I was little, but dislike directly correlates to each year of age. He went from "haha, that guy is funny!" to "HOW HAS HE NOT GOTTEN HIMSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE KILLED BY NOW?!?" >:( He should have been squashed by the tank.

I've seen people recommend the order "4, 5, 2, 3, 6". (nm) by

This way you get the original uninterrupted first to get the exposure. Then you get the prequels. I would then recommend after finishing them start over with 1,2,3,4,5,6. And in my opinion Empire is by far the best of the six. And I think that Attack of the Clones is the weakest in the series. One is definitely the most kid friendly of them though. Because at the time I saw it originally 1999 I kind of liked Jar Jar. Now looking back on it Jar Jar just kind of irks me. But he is definitely a kid friendly character.

You've never seen it before? Oh, man, you're in for a treat. Except for the prequel trilogy. I mean, that had its moments, but... Eh.
~Iximaz, who totally didn't used to love Jar-Jar as a kid, nope. -

Happy fourth of May! I'm really pumped for Episode VII: let's hope J.J. Abrams gets his act together and delivers.
While we're at it, I'd like to share a bit of Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for the Star Wars films. Enjoy!
Original Y-Wing concept. Note the gunner's cupola behind the cockpit that eventually became the Y-Wing's ion cannons.
Lightsabers were apparently a widespread weapon before the writers restricted their use to the Jedi and the Sith.
The famous trench run. Not much has changed!
Hello, Hoth. This would actually make for a great wallpaper if this thing was a higher resolution.
One of my favourite scenes ever.
Glorious. It's amazing how that space battle holds its own against modern-day action sequences. -

...I'm still waiting on those cookies you owe me, Iximaz. :P
I'm wondering if there may be some surprise announcements on this annual occurrence - I wouldn't be surprised it it was for the new Battlefront or some teaser images. Who knows?
