Sweet, no one has mentioned this mistake yet:

In Episode 4, right before the ceremony scene where Luke is walking out of his ship.  As he is walking out he was so excited that he called out "Carrie" instead of "Leia".  It's even on the DVD if anyone doesn't believe me.

The most hilarious mistake I have seen is in Episode IV when the Storm Troopers bust open the control room where C-3PO and R2 one of the Storm Troopers bangs his head off the door and you can even hear his platic helmet go "Clunck" too lol!

Its basically as I said, when the Storm Troopers break into the control room when Luke and everyone are freeing Leia from the prison.

The way I see it, it's not a mistake.  Because storm troopers make mistakes too, you think they all dodge the tops of doors all the time, no.

oh THAT part we thought it was at the start when Vader breaks in to capture leia with the two rows of storm troopers behiend him. Right around the time when she's recording her famous message on R2D2 so it's no wonder we never saw it

Looking for a true Star Wars fan, just go find my friend Giovanni, I'll sell him to you at $32,000.00 and not a penny less! He was getting annoying anyways...

I don't see what the big deal is, it's just Star Wars?  Image

I think most of the time in real life they would bend down to get through a door, their clone troopers bred as warriros I'm sure they can easily bend down to get past a partially opened door.

And in RL I doubt George Lucas intentionally wanted a Storm Trooper banging his head off the door in that scene.  :lol

Isnt this board being a little hypocritical?

I mean there are rules against linking to warez etc and you guys are basically advertisting it.

I dont mind at all, but rules are rules arent they?

I could be mistaken, but I don't believe we control what ads get displayed at the top. (or we probably would have blocked that one) It's an all-or-bust package, me thinks. That said, this issue bugs me as well.

How did they pop up there? I never thought this place would have ads like they do at proboards. Why are those just suddenly here?  :|

We recently placed them at the top to cover part of the costs for the webspace.

It is a shame really, the only thing you can do is ask google to remove those ads.

Its not worth taking the ads down for though as its not you guys fault.

Google shouldn't even allow such ads to be displayed.

I bet SW3 would have beaten Titanic in profits if it wasn't for piraters.

Yea, as always the movie was available on the net before its release. Good quality version too.

I'm glad I went to the cinema to see it though, you cant beat the full cinema experiance!!

Maybe so and maybe not.  Most people DID go to see it in the theatre.


I do however find the downloading of movie abbhorrent.   The more movies that get downloaded, the more shitty movies Hollywood makes for low budgets to recoup losses... all you movie downloading kids are slowly killing the quality of films.  

Hollywood is releasing a LOT of crap?  Know why?  It's cheap and easy to make, and they can make money back.  Make a crappy $20 million dollar comedy - if it makes $50 mill at the box-office, then another $25-40 mill on DVD = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Sigh.

I always think its great to actually buy or watch moneys you like in the cinema, why would you go watch a movie thats Star Wars if you dont like Action? I see no point in downloading pirates they are terrible quality, not to mention its not as good as actually reaches to our back pocket pull out a 20 pound note and buy the bloody DVD or ticket.

I do admit to being partial to downloading the old "file" or two who doesnt.

But I certainly buy any film I really enjoy at the cinema or infact did download.

Here is a pick of our DVD collection plus throw in Season 1-4 of X-Files, Season 1-6 of Sex and the City and the Matrix Trilogy boxset which is hiding somewhere too.

DVD's

I only download movies I like. And if I like them I buy them down the road. Other movies that aren'y spectacualar I download, watch and delete right away just to see them if they intrigue me a little bit, but there aren't many. I just care about SEEING movies I like or am looking forward to ASAP! I'll deal with buying it or seeing it in a theatre later lol. (Angelus is right in that nothing beats seeing a movie in a theatre, too)

And a lot of pirated movies are really good quality. Once they're out on DVD that is. And some rare ones are good while still in theatres, too.

What I know is whether I stop downloading or not it's not going to make a peck of difference in the grand scheme of things. And we can say "Yes, but if everyone would think about it and stop then it could make a big difference." And that's true, but it's never going to happen. There are too many people who just don't care.

Actually, come to think of it I haven't downloaded any movies in well over a year or more now. Nothing interesting, I guess. Or lost the drive to see movies. BT's right about hollywood making crap for movies nowadays, though.
