And another thing…

Fearful load of old tosh, the lot of them. Wooden attempts at humour making Bill Shatner look like Richard Pryor.

OK, I’ve seen each of the original trilogy about 30 times. That’s my personal tragedy and shame.

You could see Lucas losing it though by TROTJ. Those damned ‘cuddly’, brave little ewoks (Hi Hazel, or ‘R2′ as I think we must call you now). They just paved the way for, no, I can’t even say the ‘character’s’ name. The later ,i.e. earlier, crap stories then just aped the obsessions of the megarich, which Lucas now was, e.g. taxation. Same happened to the Monkey Island computer game series in which Lucas had a say.

And what happened to the original Darth Vader behind the mask in the remastered version of VI, might I ask, when he returns in Luke’s vision? some long-haired stripling now.

I often wonder what impact the films would have had if it had been James Earl-Jones in the DV suit and Dave Prowse doing the voice. ‘Lord Vader, you’re putting on the tonnage are you not?’ Reply: ‘Where be them plans, me ‘ansome? Arr, Luke, lad… ‘

“May the farce be with you, Tom.”

Any news from Darth Mandelson on the whereabouts of the rebel base in the Haze L. Blears system?

How’s life in the Labour Death Star? – Is the Emperor Klunk still using the farce to throw Nokias and printers at some of his luckless Labour droids? )

Has Princess Harrirot sent out a distress call to ObamaWanKenobi for help yet?

Is there hope for the Labour clones?

Perhaps we could call the film – “The Electorate Strikes Back”. LOL

I mean to say, those Imperial Star Cruisers. All mouth and trousers. Youy’d think one cough from the secondary armament, never mind the main event, on something that size would wipe out everything in the for’ard parsec. But, oh no, the plucky little Falcon takes hit after hit and gets away every time. Yes, I know, plot device.

Mind you, the X-wings attacking the D-Star in IV worked – the D-star’s defences weren’t tuned to cope with such small ships you see? Plot device again? Well, the Bismarck’s AA guns weren’t made to track planes as slow as the Fairey Swordfish and look what just one of them did to her. Maybe Lucas knew his history there.

Or perhaps,Silent Hunter,”The Electorate Strikes Back With More of the Same”.

If anyone thinks that the tory government will differ in any fundamental way in their handling of the 30% of legislation left to them by the EU,they are in for tragic disappointment.

Same government, different faces.

Government in Europe had its ability to make major choices removed some time ago.

How very transatlantic of you Tom!

Personally I’m more patriotic on this day.

HAPPY THATCHER DAY!

May you ‘come fourth’ in June

371 days or so and counting down…….

Gordon brown joke that one

Liberanos:

”…The Electorate Strikes Back With More of the Same…”

Hasn’t really got the same ring to it now has it? ;o)

Silent Vader breathes hoarsley through his gleaming metallic mask and motions a hand towards Liberano

Frankly I find your lack of belief in the Farce (Labour) disturbing. . . . Liberano feels the steely grip of the Iron Lady around his throat, choking the very life out of him

Tom: “Silent Vader; release him”

SV: “As you wish”

Silent Vader lowers his gleaming metal hand as Liberano falls to the table clutching his throbbing throat

SV: “Let that be a lesson to all who would question my master – Emperor Tom”

(Thinks – did I leave my keys in the Tie Fighter when I parked it this morning on my way into work at the Death Star)
