One million signatures and Uwe Boll will quit directing

[Felon]

But in the off chance that he'd actually go away? That's worth a measely five minutes of my time.

"Go away"? Is he living in your attic or something?

He goes away if you stop seeing his movies and--even more importantly--stop talking about him in Internet forums.

 

[Felon]

Nope, strongly disagree with that.

Let's see, it establishes immediately that 9 year old Anakin is a prodigy far beyond other humans in skill.

When do we ever see again that Anakin/Vader is some kind of gearhead? He's a force-using prodigy, sure, but the force has little to do with droid construction.

Don't see what the big deal is about midichlorians though.

"Go away"? Is he living in your attic or something?

Yes. Also, all of his movies were made in my garage.

Relax, Felon... it's for fun. I already explained my feelings on the matter, and don't really need to do so again.

I can agree to disagree about how silly the very concept of Vader building 3PO is from a story perspective. I can even (painfully) look past the idea of an 8 year old being able to build a fully functioning protocol droid. But even ignoring all that glaring logical disonance, the idea of any single person building C3PO from scratch still doesn't make sense in the Star Wars universe. C3PO is not a custom droid. He's a standard model made by Cybot Galactica. Post-movie supplementals go into great details of the technical specs. Ignoring non-movie information, here's still the problem that we see other 3PO units at various points in the movies. And there's simply no way that a droid cobbled together from random parts in a junkyard can end up as an industrial standard model.

Also, the idea that it is convenient for 3PO to be owen by the Organa family to explain how he ended up on the Tantive IV really doesn't work, as it was previously established that he had dozens of different owners before the events of SW4.

Think of the terrible opportunity cost of Boll's films. Imagine for a moment if you took all the money the German government gave Boll, and handed it over to promising German film students. You might still get a fair amount of garbage, but you would probably get a few fine gems as well. Boll will never make a decent movie however. It is anathema to him.

Maybe Anakin was working from some plans he had for that standard model of droid, and didn't invent him from scratch at all. Or maybe he was just putting together a "kit droid."



I dunno, for some reason that aspect never really bugged me at all. The midichlorians thing did, because it really de-mystified the whole concept of the Force for me (even though it really didn't explain things that well, it just added an intermediary between humanoids and the force...all for what -- so they could have a way to "measure" how powerful Anakin is?)

Frakkin Star Wars logic.

 

[Man in the Funny Hat]

I am amused that IMDB has kept the thing on their main page for days. Links to pro and anti petitions and footage of Boll just demonstrating why people might actually bother to start and sign a petition against him. He's a GENIUS don't you know? Most amusing indeed.

Is anyone going to make a similar one to keep David Caruso off TV until he takes some lessons...or at least stops cocking his head to one side to "EMOTE?"

Only if you include a petition to keep Gary Sinise from talking with a gravel voice.
