Warsie: We have Luke Skywalker!
Ringer: That's a PLUS?!

~o~

Warsie: Han and Leia, Luke and Mara.
Ringer: Beren and Luthien, Eluthingol and Melian, Aragorn and Arwen, Tuor and Idril Celebrindal --
Warsie: Enough!

~o~

Warsie: Ring as the source of ultimate power?
Ringer: Laser beam sword that mysteriously stops after three feet?

~o~

Warsie: You needed a book!
Ringer: At least we had a good one. You didn't even have a mediocre script!

Warsie: Emperor Palpatine did a ton of work himself, fooled the entire galaxy into giving him supreme power, made the Jedi nearly extinct, nearly killed Luke with lightning, and the only time he lost a fight was when he allowed himself to be beaten so that he could convert Anakin to the Dark Side. He could also wipe out three trained knights like they were nothing as an old man.

Ringer: Sauron was practically an angel, could change shape, and had a volcano in his home. He corrupted Numenor too.

Warsie: Yeah, Sauron was also humiliated by a dog, Numenor was already down a dark path, the Ring never helped him, two minor characters killed him when he had the Ring before the book took place, he had the hots for Galadriel once when in a sense she was his daughter, and Palpatine had Mustafar under his control. That whole planet's like Mount Doom's interior.

Ringer:...Morgoth-

Warsie:-You're talking about LOTR, not the Sil.

Honestly, I always saw Palpatine as the better villain, especially after reading about Sauron's loss to Huan.

Warsie: A lightsaber could cut through any ME armor
Ringer: Well, Anduril can someone an undead army that would scare off all your clone warriors

Ringer: Did you see how cool the Watcher in the Water was?
Warsie: Did you see those fish on Naboo?

Ringer: LOTR has some of the most lovable characters
Warsie: Chewie
Ringer:....

----

Warsie: Arwen has a VERY minimal action role. I mean seriously, what does she do to help anyone.
Ringer: Leah doesn't seem to be good for much more than bossing people around and mouthing off, it seems to me Mon Mothma did all of the work.
Warsie: Leah was good with a blaster.
Ringer: Arwen has kick butt sword skills. It only took Leah five shots to kill one storm-trooper. At least Arwen has neat hair styles (ROTK headress). Leah has...danishes.

Warsie: We have more movies.
Ringer: We have BETTER movies.
Warsie: What about the animated ones?
Ringer: What about the Star Wars Holiday Special?
Warsie: ::cringe::

~o~

Warsie: Blasters are better than arrows: fast and accurate.
Ringer: Arrows are fast and accurate AND cool. Blasters are all the same.

~o~

Warsie: We have Jedi.
Ringer: We have Elves.

~o~

Warsie: Luke, Han. Cool good guys.
Ringer: Legolas, Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli, Gandalf, Merry, Pippin, Frodo, Sam and that's just the Fellowship!

~o~

Warsie: C-3PO and R2-D2.
Ringer: Legolas and Gimli.

~o~

Warsie: Darth Vader.
Ringer: Nazgul.

Warsie: How come even though Aragorn made all good, Tolkien says wrote about evil returning some time later?
Ringer: How come that after Luke brought back balance to the Force, the Yuuzhan Vong invasion that took place only 25 years later killed 365 trillion people?
Warsie:...why do you Ringers have to know so much?
Ringer:

Warsie: We have a lot more races!
Ringer: That look more or less the same, with small differences.
Warsie: That's not true...Aayla Secura...
Ringer: She looks just like a woman except with two tentacles on her head and different skin
Warsie:...at least she doesn't have a beard like Dwarven women!

Beanamir of Gondor · 04-10-2007, 07:42 PM

Warsie: Our spaceships can travel across the galaxy in the time it takes Frodo to walk down the road to Sam's burrow.
Ringer: Yeah, well, Bill's hyperdrive didn't break every fifteen minutes.

Warsie: Dude, we started out Billy Dee Williams.
Ringer: Er... Orlando Bloom went on to do "Pirates", and didn't have to resort to ALIEN MOVIES...

Warsie: Why didn't you just use the Eagles?
Ringer: ....

And what in the name of Eru is this? -->
