Evar Orbus and His Galactic Jizz-Wailers were a jizz band founded by Evar Orbus, featuring Max Rebo, Sy Snootles, Droopy McCool, and Orbus himself. Their hits included "(That Joyous Night) I Ate My Mate".

When playing at Uncle Chesko's on the moon Nar Shaddaa, the band was surprised to find their set interrupted by the song stylings of the Yuzzum J'ywz'gnk Kchhllbrxcstk Et'nrmdndlcvtbrx. Impressed, Orbus invited him to join the band, giving him the stage name Joh Yowza.
When Orbus was killed in a firefight with Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, the remaining members reformed the group into the Max Rebo Band. The Max Rebo Band later played one of the Wailers' hits, "Jedi Rocks".

Sweden proving its superiority once again.

Leaving this here for handy usage, should any of you need it.

Love that man

I saw a neat lil technical exploded view thing of Kylo Ren's lightsaber thingy today, which had some spoilery deets confirming nerd theories...

The crossguard is indeed exhaust vents. Cause Kylo ain't know how to build a lightsaber.

The blade is jank cause the crystal powering it is cracked. It's not meant to look like that.

Apostate

You know this movie better be good or this is going to generate the mother of all backlashes. The hype level, and people's apparent willingness to be sucked into it, could cause a full on fanageddon if this movie sucks.

I don't think I've seen anything that could compare to this.

syndalis

I just finished watching episode I for the first time in a long time.

It is nowhere near as bad a movie as the Internet makes it out to be.

It is just horribly inconsistent, courtesy of the childish injection of Jar Jar into 60% of the film.

I actually enjoyed it for the most part.

syndalis

Oh, and the reason I watched it is because I am bringing the girlfriend through Star Wars - we watched 4 and 5, and are now watching 1-3 before watching 6 and then catching 7 in theaters.

That's a really interesting order. Can I ask why you picked it?

4 and 5 are the best points of entry into the story.

Then after the "No, I am your father" moment, it's a GREAT time to jump back to the beginning via a 6 hour flashback, before coming to the end of the story in episode 6.

It's a viewing order I've seen pretty popularlized in recent years whenever the topic comes up of "how should I get my _____ into the star wars movies" for that exact reason.

Although personally if I was trying to get someone into it, I'd go 4-5-The Phantom Edit-6.

True facts I like revenge of the sith more than return of the Jedi.

Empire is still the best out of all of them though.

In some ways I prefer it to the other two prequels. Less hampered by every scene being filmed in a big green box. No gotta commit mass murder to get Anakin's dark side points up like it's a videogame.

So the premiere is probably over by now, or just about over. A whole bunch of people just seen the movie. I expect spoilers all over the net in short order.

I wonder when reviews will start to roll in?

It should be within the next couple of hours for some Youtube thoughts I would think. I'm sticking to Collider, I really like their structured discussions and they've *promised* to have a totally spoiler-free review up some time "tonight" (i.e. this morning.) www.youtube.com/user/ColliderVideos

edit: Aside from them and here, I'm pretty much avoiding anything else, especially any/all Youtube comments on any video ever, and reddit.

Torn between wanting to seek out non-spoilery reviews and the inevitable spoilers waiting...

I'm happy enough with avoiding reviews and going in blind. No matter how shit they say it is I'll probably see it anyway.

In 29 hours for me.

Luckily I'll be going to the first showing in my area so I'll be able to avoid any assholes coming out of the theater loudly talking about spoilers with their friends.

You know, I hadn't even thought of that... I guess I'll be walking past everyone leaving going LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEEEEAR YOUUUUU!

Khavall

Man, I can't even, like, play MMOs or MOBAs for a week now.

TheBlackWind

Yeah, I was just trying to figure out if I could mute HotS chat...

This will be the longest 52 hours of my life.

I briefly thought of resubbing to SWTOR but thats probably the first place where they would strike.

WiseManTobes

Hmm, I have a Terraria world that still needs Moon Lord and Fishron beaten, but lots of farms setup could tweak everyone up fairly quick probably. We could even help quell the addiction by building something Star Wars-y!

( Recording a draft tonight but could load it after that)

No no no, "I am your father" is when you save time by watching the Auralnauts versions of Episodes 1-3. You only spend 70 minutes watching fun things instead of 6 hours of mediocrity.

I'll be seeing it Friday night! I've avoided most of the trailers, and any potential posts on theories, spoilers, etc. I just want to go in and have my mind BLOWN! Come on Mr. Abram's you did it with Star Trek, now just make it happen with The Force Awakens.
