Because pyat loves it

I present to you: the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Not a hoax! Not a dream! Only partially an imaginary tale!

Apparently, if anyone is asking more than $10 for it, you're getting ripped off.

Man. I think having seen that show when I was 5 (d6/d20 San) accounts for so much.

Dude, after suffering through that "Life Day Song", $5 is pushing it!

Do you mean to tell me that Bea Arthur is not canon?

[thebitterguy]

No, I'm telling you she should be shot out of a cannon!

No, no. It's worth at least $20 in sheer, exquisite agony.

Do I ever have a website for you! Believe me, $20 will get you all the agony you can stand:

I recommend "Che!", with Jack Palance as Fidel Castro. Did I mention it's a musical? From the guy who directed "The Boston Strangler?"

I'm amazed that no one remembers what "the frizzies" are and why it was important to fight them.

Hell, even my Banana Book of Foto Funnies had references to frizzy fighting.

[thebitterguy]

For a while, the Frizzies ran around free. But they were eventually brought under control through kung fu and applied plastic explosives.

Today, we live in a better world because of it.

Yeah, you just parrot that party line about the evil Frizzies, pal. When the revolution comes, the Frizzies will be on top again!

Happy life day, from Itchy, Lumpy and Mala. And fuck you all forever. I'd seen it years ago and it, plus Clone Wars, are the reason I no longer believe in hope.

Sorry, not Clone Wars. I like Clone Wars. What I mean is Attack of the Clones -- a horrible abomination.

[thebitterguy]

The last 45 minutes of that movie are pure wargasm.

Bloodless, in every sense of the word! It was entirely without punch or impact, killing off Jedi with no emotional connection. And I needn't point out that the antagonists were CLONES AND ROBOTS. There was no real strategy, no real objective, and after seeing the Clone Wars series where Mace cuts apart entire robot armies, I'm not entirely convinced that the movie sold the need for the Clones at all...

Numbers.

There's only one Mace Windu, and he's the Number Two man in the Jedi order. Most jedi aren't nearly as badass as he is, and there are still too few of them. The military forces of the member systems of the Republic are also too small, disorganized, etc. (let alone split) to rally around the Supreme Chacellor. The Jedi have to do the job, but they lack the resources; the Clone Army fills the necessary gap in numbers, and shortly thereafter the resources gap closes as well. Throw enough droids at the Jedi, and soon all you have left is Obi-Wan, Anakin, Windu and Yoda; the rest get overrun and shot full of holes.

Meanwhile, the Separatists have droids of many makes and models turned out by the millions in hundreds of factories throughout the galaxy. However, they're hampered by a leadership cadre that's so damned incompetant that it's all they can do to get Dooku to bring Grievous on board while keeping a few hitters around to do anti-Jedi duty.

Which, of course, is just the way that Palpatine wanted it.
