Star Wars

[TheNuBi]

Couldn't find a Star Wars thread so I decided to make one. Anyways are there any Star Wars nerds here besides myself? I'm a HUGE HUGE SW fan of both the films and Expanded Universe (books, comics, video games etc) that the fact I even have a girlfriend completely defies the laws of nature and God. I have a shit load of vintage and new figures as well as other SW items it's pathetic.

Anyways if you're a Star Wars geek and proud of it, discuss it here.

I have a few Hasbro figures.

I got two Yoda's cos he is the shit.

[TheNuBi]

For sure! I was actually anticipating the fight between Yoda and Darth Sidious more than the fight between Anakin and Obi Wan in EP3.

[Josh]

^Same here. I didn't even like the fight between Obi and Anakin. I thought it was a bit boring.

But my favorite fight so far is the one in episode 2. Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Anakin against Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus [sp?]. That was awesome.

[TheNuBi]

Yeah, the Obi/Anakin/Yoda vs. Dooku was sweet (just wish it was longer) but my favorite fight in any of the movies in in EP1 with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi vs. Darth Maul. EP1 is my least favorite of all six movies but the fight scene alone is worth it to me.

[Josh]

Yeah, that was a good one as well!

I haven't seen SW in a very long time. I'd better watch them again soon.

So do you have a favorite character? Mine is Yoda. He rocks so much. Especially in the first 3! [the newer episodes]

[TheNuBi]

I have a ton of favorite characters from the both the movies and EU but my overall favorite characters are the Stormtroopers. I used to have a ton of vintage Stormtrooper figures when I was a kid I got from an uncle who is also a SW fan.

Here's a list of my favorite characters

Movies:

Stormtroopers
Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious
Darth Vader (In armor)
Yoda
Luke Skywalker
Boba Fett
Princess Leia
Obi Wob-Kenobi (old)
Obi Won-Kenobi (young)
Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus

EU:

Darth Revan
Darth Nihilus
Kyle Katarn
Bastila Shan
Darth Bane
Mara Jade Skywalker (Luke's wife)
Exar Kun
Darh Malak
A'Sharad Hett/Darth Krayt

My favorite action figure is definitely Count Dooku. [from what I hate]

He comes with this cape, and that red light saber, it looks sooo cool.

I have pictures somewhere I'll try and upload them.

[TheNuBi]

I only have one Dooku figure and it's one of the ones from the EP2 Saga Collection. Mine has the plastic cape, 2 lightsabers (one red and one green) a holographic Darth Sidious and when you squeez the legs together he makes a slashing action.

[Josh]

I think I might have the same one!

The only thing I don't have from what you just described is a green lightsaber. Mine only came with a red one. But it has a holographic Darth Sidiuos, a plastic cape, a red lightsaber and that slashing action.
