Luke, of course, does eventually go Sith, becoming apprentice to the cloned Emperor. And then he also eventually marries a hot redhead in the person of Mara Jade.

Back to the hot red heads again? Don't make me find pictures that require brain bleach!
I'm afraid to click the links. I have nightmare images of a browser-jack involving Carrot Top. There are some things worse than Rick-Rolling.
Actually, fivecats' link is pretty hilarious
Why thank you. (I try not to clutter up the comments with gratuitous links)
(Actually, there's a series of Robot Chicken episodes on Star Wars. They've forever jaded my memories of the series...)
What's this "New Hope" you speak of? There are only three movies, Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Those are the proper titles and nothing else exists. If you deny this truth, then I can no longer speak to you.
Hey now, just because those were the only 3 good ones does not mean you can't count the creator's original plan of 6 movies.
That's like saying that, when The Hobbit comes out, you can't count it as part of the story because it didn't come out 'originally' with the LOTR trilogy.
I think you mean www.eyebleach.com
It's quite a nice website for men, women, AND children (depending on which door you choose)...
Ah Robot Chicken... the popular show that never went mainstream...
It's not at all the same. LOTR is based on books. They are existing stories and being made a few years apart.
Star Wars took a 25 year siesta, then in order to make money, dug up old, abandoned notes and made movies. The three original movies stand on their own, make sense and are not enhanced by the extra stuff. Any plans he claims to have had to make 6 movies all along are contradicted by the choice to start in the middle and waiting a quarter of a century to finish.
I meant brain bleach, because somethings can't be erased from the imagination. (And those are rather tame images. I had a higher opinion of you than that.)
Gotta love geeks and nerds.
Silly heretic. There were NINE movies planned, not six.
Silly me, I'm sorry. My mistake. 9. 9 movies originally planned.
Actually, from what I heard, he started in the middle because they weren't going to give him a large enough budget to create all at once, and these were the best to start with. Also, another rumor I heard (so I actually don't know if it's true or not) is that he waited a quarter century cause he wanted to wait till graphics could become good enough for his ideas.
Again, i don't know if it's true, but it sounds like something someone with foresight would do.
Eh, it's the best I could do from work. Also, your brain bleach reminded me of eyebleach because of the word bleach.
And yes, geeks and nerds rock. Hard.
I still think people give him too much credit. The smartest thing he ever did was keep the
licensing and merchandising rights for himself.
From what I heard, George Lucas did not make any more Star Wars movies for a quarter of a century to spite his ex-wife over a divorce settlement. In this rumor, his ex-wife settled to receive some massive percentage of the profits from future Star Wars films for an unspecified number of years. Lucas therefore refused to make any further Star Wars films until after the date his ex-wife could no longer see residuals from the franchise.
As a side note, Lucas did indeed divorce his wife in 1983 and took a massive loss in revenue from merchandising based on the Return of Jedi according to wikipedia, lending a little bit of credibility to the divorce hiatus rumor. Not sure what is truth, but sounds as good as any other rumor out there as to why Star Wars halted for so many years.
And back to the geekery! (As well as my sexy redhead shaking it)

So apparently I got myself in trouble without even being in the chat room.
How does one get banned from an area he's never been in?!

Aah, I see, the chat room is under the "patron tools" section so it's probably restricted to patrons only.
And actually you might have reputation if people like your posts.
Don't worry, I'm setting you up with one.
Of course, you may not be quite as flattered when I'm done.
LOL, nice...
I try to maintain the same reputation everywhere, online and in person... "Mostly harmless weirdo" is how I figure most folks see me... Being more than one person was too much work... the most I will bother to do these days is slap on the "be professional" filter as required... but it's the same weirdo under the filter.

b-b-but...
I is a patron...

You'd be surprised... (unless its that I beat women; that's one I wouldn't be flattered with).
I had a rep once in high school for being a man-whore. Which is pretty funny, given that I had sex with 1 person only in h.s. (oddly enough, my now wife).
