Author	Topic:   'What If?' History
Grand Moff Andy	posted 3/22/03 5:15 PM       I thought we could play a little 'What If?' History. What if... after the Empire attacked Princess Leia's ship, Tantive IV, and took her prisoner, that Imperial officer HAD given the order to destroy the lifepod carrying C3-PO and R2-D2?? If, instead of fobbing off his underlings because there were no life signs, he'd said "yeah, go on then. Might as well. Just to be on the safe side" then the droids would have been destroyed, they'd never have been captured by Jawas and sold to Luke Skywalker who would never have discovered Leia's message to Obi-Wan Kenobi, he'd most likely continued to toil on his uncle's moisture farm, never have met Obi-Wan, Han Solo, and he'd never have gone to the Death Star to save Princess Leia, who would have been executed by Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin would have used the Death Star to destroy the Rebel Alliance once and for all. Hmmm, that would have made an interesting film.

Dark Death Dude	posted 3/25/03 4:03 PM     Then the Emperor will have supreme power with the Death Star and the massive Imperial Fleet. That would be "Interesting."
iloveyouiknow	posted 3/26/03 6:43 PM     That would be cool.
Dark Death Dude	posted 3/27/03 11:41 PM     That would Rock. Well, unless you were living there, of course.
Darth Tine	posted 4/10/03 4:40 PM       Ok, so I was watching the news yesterday. Which is something that I only recently started paying attention to, because they used to only talk about the economy and polotics and I don't understand that stuff so it was boring. And we had just taken Baghdad (or for the most part) and the people of Irac were celebrating in this square, they got these chains around the statue of Saddam and they started pulling and the statue falls down with a thump. My first thought was, "Wow! it's just like when the people of coruscant pulled down the statue of the Emperor." Is that sad or what?
Dark Death Dude	posted 4/14/03 3:19 PM     That's pretty sad that you can compare Iraq to the Empire.
Grand Moff Andy	posted 4/14/03 3:29 PM       I have to defend Tine. I thought exactly the same thing. Except, of course, Palpatine's statue came down much easier (and was much larger). Saddam's statue just buckled at the feel and after hanging like that for a few minutes later snapped. Definately a great moment in history, a great moment for Iraq and it's people, and a water-mark for the Anglo-American relationship, now stronger than ever I think (I hope).
DarthTine	posted 4/15/03 4:38 PM       And there proves the saying, "Great minds all think alike."
Grand Moff Andy	posted 4/15/03 6:56 PM       Yes. Unfortunately we also have another saying in England: fools seldom differ. :-)
Darth Tine	posted 4/18/03 0:29 AM     Uh!(gasp) You shouldn't talk about DDD and Da Wookie that way! Shame on you! (I've actually never heard that one before)
Dark Death Dude	posted 4/19/03 9:47 PM     Your digging yourself into a pit, Darth Tine.
Darth Tine	posted 4/20/03 9:17 PM     Are you, threatening me? You better watch yourself, I have the death sentence on 12 systems.
Grand Moff Andy	posted 4/21/03 3:15 PM       "Are you threatening me?! I am Cornholio! I need teepee, teepee for my buuuunghole! ...." sorry, went all Beavis & Butt-head there for a moment there.

Dark Death Dude	posted 4/21/03 5:49 PM     Wow! Even GMA double-posts! Looks like me and Darth Tine have a companion!
Darth Tine	posted 4/22/03 2:33 AM     Wait a second! Don't bunch me up with you! I only do that to make the rest of you feel better about your miserable selves
Dark Death Dude	posted 4/30/03 2:06 AM     Right. Uh-huh.
Darth Tine	posted 6/12/03 4:28 AM     Well I just thought that i'd inform you'all that i'm OUT OF SCHOOL!!!!! Finnaly!! This quarter has dragged on long enough, but now i'm FREE!!!! Not that you care of course.

Darth Tine	posted 6/12/03 10:04 PM     I only posted twice because I wanted alll of you to know how excited I am. ;)
iloveyouiknow	posted 6/13/03 1:40 AM     is that why you spelled 'all' wrong too?
Darth Tine	posted 6/13/03 4:26 PM     Well kinda. I just wanted everyone to know that I was talking to allll of you not just one of you.
iloveyouiknow	posted 6/13/03 8:43 PM     I think the word your searching for is "All y'all"
Da Wookie	posted 6/16/03 0:19 AM     Do you realize that this topic took five posts to get off subject?
Darth Tine	posted 6/16/03 1:10 AM     A new record!
Grand Moff Andy	posted 6/16/03 1:51 AM       Being, as I am, the author of this thread, I am painfully aware that out of (not including this one) 27 posts, only 5 (including my own introduction) are actually related to the topic. But then, I guess that's my fault for posting a dull topic.
Da Wookie	posted 6/18/03 3:46 PM     This was pretty boring topic. I was wondering what it was supposed to be about. but then I figured, what is anything on this site supposed to be about.
Grand Moff Andy	posted 6/18/03 7:44 PM       Geez, I wasn't expecting you to agree with me THAT quickly!! I pointed out in my first post that in the Episode IV, when the droids escape from the blockade-runner on an escape pod with Leia's message to Obi-Wan, if that imperial had let that guy blow up the escape pod then Luke would never have bought the droids, got the message and he'd probably still be on the moisture farm. As it was, there were no life-signs on the pod so it was left alone. I was wondering if anyone else could think of any more incidences where if someone had just done something a little bit different or if something else hadn't happened.... oh never mind. I got the idea from a conversation with a friend about Shakespeare's King Lear, where we realised that if that darned messenger had just got that bit more of a move on, Cordelia wouldn't have been hanged, Lear wouldn't have died, and the story would be rather more jolly -- but then it wouldn't be much of a tragedy.
Da Wookie	posted 6/20/03 1:03 AM     King Who? and what was that about corellia?
Darth Tine	posted 6/20/03 5:45 PM     Well...Hmmm...If we didn't know that you were British before,Andy, then we sure do now!!! Only someone British would spout anything that has to do with Shakespeare.
Grand Moff Andy	posted 6/20/03 7:48 PM       And there was me thinking that Shakespeare was loves the whole world over! King Lear is my favourite play and I studied it at A-Level, hence my particular interest. I'm a bit Kenneth Branagh fan and I saw Sir Nigel Hawthorne play Lear in London shortly before his sad death. He was brilliant. I've also seen Comedy of Errors actually at the Globe!! There's nothing like seeing Shakespeare acutually at the Globe, where it was meant to be seen! I highly recommend it to any Americans visiting London. If it's Shakespeare and it's at the Globe, for goodness sake, GO AND SEE IT!!!
iloveyouiknow	posted 6/21/03 10:51 PM     Comedy of Errors is my favorite shakespeare play. Although I don't think that I'd care to see it live. I have a hard time understanding british people when they talk loud.
Dark Death Dude	posted 6/26/03 3:12 PM     You should have seen me in Canada. That was interesting.
Da Wookie	posted 7/7/03 0:34 AM     What do you mean, Aye? Are you saying that canadians have a funny way of talking, aye? that's nonsense! Aye.
Dark Death Dude	posted 10/22/03 2:22 PM     It's "eh."
Dark Death Dude	posted 11/18/03 4:10 PM     So, to continue this topic, what if the Mister "E" person (Mystery, get it?) that shows up (GMA's Mum, or Mom to you Yanks; Christopher Lee Fan) really is GMA? Could he possibly have returned after a recession of so long?
Da Wookie	posted 11/19/03 5:10 AM     I don't think it's GMA. ILYIK so totally offended him that I don't think he will ever be back. most likely it IS ILYIK.
iloveyouiknow	posted 11/19/03 6:06 AM     Two words; Bee Ess
Darth Tine	posted 11/19/03 11:21 PM     What? What about bees? I don't think it's GMA. He left for severel reasons (perfectly good ones I'm sure) not the least of which, that ILYK was being a jerk. I've no idea who GMA's Mum is but I think CLF is just some British guy with to much time. (Did CLF tell us he was British or is this an assumption?) GMA would have just posted as himself. Why have nicknames?

Dark Death Dude	posted 11/20/03 5:24 PM     Well, one thing we know for sure, is that Darth Tine really IS Darth tine, as seeing as nobody else double posts (or very rarely). And what do you have against the British? Everywhere I look your slamming them into the ground! First you make fun of there language, now your mocking there integrity. How low of you. Even for a sith.
Da Wookie	posted 11/21/03 5:00 AM     I think CLF is british because in his post he comments about christopher lee being a great BRITISH actor. he said british with a little to much pride.
iloveyouiknow	posted 11/21/03 5:17 PM     you spelt "too" wrong
Aims	posted 11/22/03 2:12 AM       you are so bloddy picky ilyik, as if you get everything thing bloody right first time!! What is this about GMA leaving, why when where with who, and ilyik being a jerk... i didn't realise that was unusual ;-) p.s. goignt o see shakespear at the globe is the best idea ever if you are any place to do so, i saw midsummer nights dream at the globe and it was awsome!! Definitly recomemd seeing anyhting at the globe, i performed in the opening of the new one you know!!!
Darth Tine	posted 11/24/03 0:55 AM     I don't get Shakespear. I just don't see why he's so great. His plays are annoying. You always have to read 'em for school, and they never make any sense. He uses three sentances to say what I could say in one. I don't know why GMA left. Maybe you could ask him? You live in the same country and all. England can't be that big. I have suspisions about why he left, but I'm not going to say them.
iloveyouiknow	posted 11/25/03 7:16 PM     Apparently you don't undestand art.
Da Wookie	posted 11/26/03 6:00 PM     Shakespear plays are great if you need something to start a fire with.
Aims	posted 11/27/03 0:35 AM       granted they are not so great to read, (well some of them are good) but they are a hell of a lot better when you watch them. Also they tend to pick the boring ones for school, like the history ones and the comedys are so much better, especially when you see them on stage. Also, you can't tell me you didn't see the modern version of Romeo and Julliet?? I thought that was wicked!! And okay, i'll ask him
Da Wookie	posted 12/5/03 4:40 AM     I think Shakespears comedies are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I also like salt and Vinegar potato chips.
