Damn, that liitle toad can move!

Watching Star Wars: Attack of the Clones for the first time, and we've finally reached the Yoda/Dooku fight.

Yoda kicks serious bootie.

Of course, I laughed my ass off at Dooku's light sail ship.. the best a light sail is going to do is about .001g acceleration.

Since when does physics matter in Star Wars?

Should I have heard something from Baycon about having a badge by now?

Just curious...

We were watching that here, too, and as it wasn't the first time for either of us, we were MST3K-ing it up the wazoo. It was quite a lot of fun.

The lovely and uber-geeky [livejournal.com profile] laurellady pointed out the light sail problem, to which I responded, in my best Yoda voice, "Late for the Clone Wars he will be!"

Well, I thought it was pretty funny. (And I've always figured it was a bullshitium hydride hyperlight metasail, or something.)

"It is clear that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the Force ... but by our skill at Dance Dance Revolution."

Maybe Dooku's flying a hybrid. :-)

Gah, the mental image of Yoda playing DDR... must go wash brain.

Kiri was at the Reg Weasel meeting last night, and saw you badge. Of course, they screwed up and just put your fan name on it. She's going to make sure that it gets fixed.

When will you be getting to the con?

Try this one on for size... mentally replace Yoda with Kermit, I laughed so hard it hurt.

... when you switch on the Bergenholm, though.

That's the thing that lets you do the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, right?

I'm reminded of a comment I heard when Episode II: Send in the Clones was first released:

"Who would have thought that, in a movie featuring Samuel L. Jackson and a Muppet, the Muppet would be the one that kicks ass?"

I'll have to do that next time I see one of the movies. Then replace Wicket the Ewok with Fozzie Bear.

Depends. Laser boosted lightsails can do better as I recall.
