A New Hope

Must have seen it a dozen times at the flicks, DVD/video & just watched it on the telly again.

Never realised until now quite how camp the whole thing is.
The Stormtroopers on the Deathstar run around like Barbara Windsor trying to escape from the evil clutches of Hattie Jacques and Han’s voice sounds like he’s been at the helium balloons, and not just when he’s pretending to be someone else.

Have to say it’s added considerably to my enjoyment of the whole thing.

70s innit.

That was manly for the disco crowd.

You raving Queens.

I am afraid you have misunderstood. It’s the straightest film ever made.

Wizard of oz in space innit

Never seen it.

Is it worth having a go?

Flash in a pan if you ask me. Utterly forgettable.

I’ve got a bad feeling about this thread.

I did watch a very camp film once called Starfish Wars.

There’s a hairy chap who groans suggestively though the whole thing when he’s not being Han’s beard – and you think the stormies are camp?

Don’t even start on the extremely well spoken C3PO. More bling than a drag queen and a voice to match. And he’s a big girls blouse!

I love the scene where the stormtrooper **** his head off the door in starwars…im in stitches everytime i see it.

Never mind that 18th December 2015 is the date for the new film, hopefully that means new lego as well, and just think that will be 9 saturdays that itv can show star wars films 🙂

I’m starting to get excited

With any other beloved fanboy series, everyone gets upset when the original creator or director leaves. With Star Wars, we had a national day of celebration.

ah carrie fisher in that outfit (return of the jedi) rubs thighs sid james stylee 😳

and the films are bloody awesome btw to original question.

Ralph McQuarrie. I had never heard of him before I saw these pics, they blew me away!

Are you watching one of the (many) later editions where they’ve added a sound effect for it?

“Yer powers be roight weak, owd maan….Oi’ll tek yon loightzaber an’ shove it up thy aarse!!”

which is why they got James Earl Jones to do the voice.

I sense it too.

The realisation of his work is quite impressive, isn’t it. I like that Lucas recognises the guys influence, too.

Apparently Carrie Fisher was told she couldn’t wear any support because ‘there are no bras in space’.

I sense it too.

I see what you did there….

VII

i have a bad feeling about this…

The other plus side of the recent legacy is that it can’t possibly disappoint.

Where’s Jedi when you need him?

Actually, he isn’t the forum member you’re looking for…..

They were doing a read through today;

… Camp ??

Brass bikini – every girlfriend has point blankly refused to wear one for me…. 🙁

I’ll find a girl to wear one for me soon 🙂

Maybe try to be less picky

….Rare out take, it didnt make the final cut.

Mudshark, someone wants to meet your Leia Bloke
