Yes having lived through a period when computer viruses were spread by floppies, yes I do agree.

Dammit. Had just got to this thread to post that video.

Who fancies one of these then?

Sorry, I just had to post this.

And continuing the 'star wars related dogs' theme...

The wookie one is fine but that's.. a bit wrong.

It was only a matter of time.

I find it truly disturbing that they've received death threats. Surely sending the animal to the knackers yard would have been just as undignified, as if the dead horse even cared about such things?

Can't be bothered to find and post it, but a 'Look at me, I'm an attention whore' pic would seem apt.

'Hello, I represent George Lucas...'

Can I just suggest people get hold of the DVD/BR pack of the third series of the 'Clone Wars' cartoon? If you can get past the fact it's animation, it's about the best Star Wars I've seen in years. It's taken a couple of series for them to gain the confidence to do what they want to do, but now they're absolutely rocking it. At times funny, it's also gritty when it needs to be and quite adult (in a good way) in the way it approaches things. It's reached the point in the story where The Republic is on the edge of falling apart and it's not afraid to show that. There are stories about the consequences of war, stories about the Sith political infighting, some early appearances from a couple of 'canon' characters, a 'guns of Navarone' style infiltration mission that goes really pear shaped (which is three episodes long and would make a great Star Wars film all on it's own), one brilliant plot line involving a clan of 'Sith Witches' which is as good as anything in any of the films and some great foreshadowing of what is to come. One particular scene (you'll know it when you see it) would have the hair standing up on the back of any real fan's neck.

Plus it looks fantastic. Yes it's a cartoon but it pulls off the look and feel of Star Wars effortlessly. When it needs to light the fireworks there are lightsaber duels, full on space battles, but they also get the design, architecture and environments spot on. It's plainly a labour of love. It even manages a couple of episodes based entirely on Coruscant about the galactic senate that are watchable, which is frankly near a miracle.

It's genuinely, genuinely good. Please put whatever preconceptions you may have aside and give it a try, if you like Star Wars at all.

I have been watching it on Cartoon Network and I have been I impressed by it. Your comments are pretty much in line with a lot of the reviews of this programme I have read. The only down side is that Cartoon Network has not been pretty good at paying the episodes in order, so I must get my hands on a copy of the discs.
