worst star wars race

[upsidedownwalrus]

manniken skywalker was shit too.

Remember how excited you were when you saw that awesome poster where he had Darth Vader's shadow?

and what was delivered? Shite.

That film is only worth it for the Podrace

The podrace is part of the reason the film is shit.

The best thing about it was Darth Maul.

Ah yes, true. And the Star Wars Christmas Abomination, abomination though it is, is considered cannon.

Incidentally, do you like the use of two lots of repeated words separated by commas in that sentence?

I think it works rather well actually. Mind you don't overuse it though.

I will pull you up on your use of 'cannon' instead of 'canon' however, crafty sentence structure is for shit without proper spelling

if chewbacca lives on endor, then you must acquit

Wookiees come from the planet Kashyyk. Everyone knows that.

e2a: Aww shit there are three y's in Kashyyyk. Gutted.

I was pretty sure of the answer, but then you have to ask yourself, 'what would it be like, machinegunning a bunch of them?'

My original answer re worst race was Jar Jar and the gungadins, or whatever you call them. But think about machinegunning a bunch: it would really be pathetic.

Now the Ewoks. Small and furry, but with those black, beady eyes. Machinegunning a nest of them, would feel like you were doing the righteous work of the Orkin Man.

I also don't like that semi humanoid race that has the long tapering tentacle-like appendage on the top of the head. Like a mono-octopus. Horrible. But again: watching machinegun bullets passing through the tentacle, would really make one's gorge rise. It would be gross.

Mind you, if Jar Jar makes the Ewoks look like Shaft, this shower makes Jar Jar look like Christopher Walken

I usually disagree with Atomic Suplex about films, but his contention that the first half to second half slump in Explorers is the single worst turn of events in any film ever is very very close to the mark imo

I could machinegun that thing without too much trouble. What's it doing: playing an instrument, or having sex with itself?

Anything would have been better. Even if they discovered the alien race was long gone without a trace. Even if the cinema exploded after they went into space or they had all been shot in the head or suffocated at the beginning of the film.

The podrace was the worst Star Wars race.

I agree with the general consensus that aside from Jar-Jar, the Gungans were alright generally. I mean at least they had some balls, not like that bunch of poncey bourgouise wankers, the Naboo with their elected jailbait monarch. Cunts.

Talking about the Ewoks, I took heart that they were (probably) wiped out folowing the destruction of Death Star II

I'd happily sign up for the ethnic cleansing of Endor.

No need. Endor Holocaust - http://www.theforce.net/SWTC/holocaust.html

My vote? These grunting, easily-scared-but-soon-returning bastards:

Couldn't believe Lucas cut away just as Anakin was getting medieval on their asses.

I noticed a trend on this too, holiday studios think racist stereotypes are ok so long as they are cartoons/cgi/not people. cf. the two little cars in the last transformers

This may well be the single film I have most agreed with you on in my entire time on urban

It really is the most shocking degeneration from great to shit ever seen in a film.

It wasn't their willingness to fight, it was the awful way they spoke. It was as if the Beautiful South had decided to make a Star Wars film and make it deliberately actually irritating, rather than cheesy and entertaining like the old ones.
