So i was in London on Thurs evening at this charity dinner and it was a star wars event with quiz and auction.

http://www.starwarscharitydinner.com/event.php

As a little bit of a star wars geek I was in heaven. My favourite picture of the night was when I got Darth Vader to choke me. (His powers are obviously waning as he had to physically do it but it was still cool)

I was running the quiz and the auction, so was a bit of a long night but I had a massive smile on my face all night seeing all the people dressed up. There were about 50 storm troopers there in full get-up. Even better was the full size R2-D2's whizzing around the room. Ewan McGregor, Jeremy Bulloch and Warwick Davis were there with a bunch of other celebs, it was a fun night.

It has got me excited to see episode 1 in 3D at the cinema. I know its episode 1 but I still enjoy going to the big screen to see any star wars. It may look quite cool in 3d too. Anyone else tempted to go and line George Lucas's pockets some more?

Saw Episode 1 in 3D last night.

The 3D adds nothing to the film, which I kinda expected. I don't think 2D-3D conversions work too well, it was a subtle effect mostly, with one or two moments that looked quite good.

The film is still terrible haha! But it was worth it for the opening text crawl, pod racing, the light saber battles and natalie portman on the big screen.

Episode 1 is my favourite of the prequels because Hayden Christensen isn't around to totally ruin it. The second film is a turkey, but the third film might have been ok if this useless lump didn't have to fart his way through every line. Awful, Awful stuff. I will never know why they cast him

Phantom Menace is just a mediocre film that is just a very odd experience to sit through.

Great locations, ropey CG, brilliant music, functional and boring cinematography, dull characters, convoluted plot that lacks any pace.

Goes for all three prequels. There, job done.

That guy's nasally indignant nerd rage makes him sound like a bigger fanboy than the people he's criticising.

I'm off to Legoland in a few weeks for my baby brother's birthday and they are hosting a Star Wars Invasion were the scenes from the flicks are done in lego form and other stuff, should be fun for him but I'm not really a Star Wars fan tho.

      So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.

      I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
