Just in case you didn't see it when it first aired (or need to see it again), I tracked down the clip of Triumph, the Insult Comic interviewing Star Wars fans in line to see Episode II. I can only pray he does it again for Episode III.
Triumph: Attack of the DorksI ordered my tickets for the 12:01 showing. I'm wondering how early we're going to have to show up. I hope not before 10:00. Since I won't be getting home until 3 AM at the earliest, I think I'm gonna pull a graveyard shift, and sleep until 9, and then go to work after the movie. Like I'll be able to sleep after seeing it anyway.
I wish they made the toys look cooler. They totally blew the Star Wars action figure line with the Episode II ones they released. They should have kept with the black background, Sith Lord in the top left design. Now they only Star Wars figures I need are sold on eBay. I guess they made some classic design packages, but the only one I've see is Lando.
Lando is always on the shelves. Why do they bother remaking him? Lando didn't really do shit. Sure, he went undercover to save Han, but all he does it bitch and whine. HE flies the Milennium Falcon, but he's nowhere near as cool as Han while doing it. I feel they're doing the same shit with Mace Windu. He has the potential to be a totally cool character, and he sounds like he's reading his lines off the back of his hand. I'm willing to be he'll be redeemed in Episode III.
I'm off to play LEGO Star Wars now. I'll let you know what I think later.
Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars, Sta...
UPDATE: There was only one Lando left. He was accompanied by an army of Lobots, the only figure lamer than Lando. It's a sick, sad world when Carrie gets more toys than I do.
